===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
Using OSX Bundle (in oppose to Blender dummy .app) as start point for binary.
That way we don't need to move the blenderplayer after the bundle is finished and we can rebuild it without doing `make install`
I will test more tomorrow, but it should be working now
- allow building blenderplayer with redcode.
- when ffmpeg is enabled remove strict compiler errors for imbuf and blenkernel since its hard to avoid these warnings across ffmpeg versions.
discussed with Janne, Ton, Nathan and we agreed this kind of change at least needs discussion with module owners.
Its also too close to release to be making these kinds of changes.
commands used:
# reverse merge
svn merge -r36073:36072 .
# for some reason this gave a lot of property changes
svn revert `svn st | grep "^ M" | awk '{print $2}'`
# reverse merging didn't work here, removing while dir.
svn rm extern/eltopo/
# manually fixed conflict in
# ./source/blenderplayer/CMakeLists.txt
#
# also manually removed 2 lines from
# ./CMakeLists.txt
Plugged the eltopo library into the cloth solver.
I was playing with it earlier, and it's so easy to
use I decided to quickly put it in (trunk's) cloth.
See http://www.cs.ubc.ca/labs/imager/tr/2009/eltopo/eltopo.html
. The authors are on the bleeding edge of continuous collision
detection (one of them did ILM's cloth sim).
I
don't really have to time to plug it into softbody, particles,
bullet, fluid, etc, but doing so would be pretty straightforward.
I'll leave that up to someone else.
To use, turn on USE_ELTOPO (in cmake) or WITH_BF_ELTOPO in scons.
* first working changes to get blenderplayer linking
* blenderplayer/ moved into source/ (CMakeLists.txt changed for that too)
* added externs for bprogname to gp_ghost, so that it links properly
