This is a temp fix for a better system.
Currently the studiolights can be referenced by a WM_job and being freed
via the API. This can happen when removing a studiolight via the
interface.
As the studiolight has no relation with the job, it is hard to detect if
it is still being used. I tried with a Mutex and a Thread Queue but they
were failing.
So the current temp fix is to keep the studiolights in memory until you
close blender. This Must be fixed ASAP! I added this fix so normal cases
can workish.
- the result of the SH2-coeffiecients are stored in a bin file (3*9
floats). As the file is a local file we do not care about the
architecture.
- solved issue that also for internal lights the irradiance file were
stored. We don't want that as it could be in a not accessible location
- all known image types are supported
- BpyAPI for studiolights added
- added open user pref operator in shading menu
- possible to add multiple files in a single run
For now refreshing studio lights will free all studiolights and reinit
the whole mechanism. This can be improved by only freeing deleted, reset
updated and add new custom studiolights.
details to show currently only shows the path we perhaps want to add
other information also
- users can use their own matcaps
.config/blender/2.80/datafiles/studiolights/matcap/ folder
- upto 100 matcaps can be loaded
- color of the matcap is influenced by the color of the material/single
color etc. To show the plain matcap use single color at 1.0
- chosing a matcap is at lighting level (flat/studio/matcap)
- matcap only possible in solid mode
- also works for X-Ray mode
As the old matcaps are still in used by the clay engine I didn't remove
it yet.
- Uses the roughness setting of the basic eevee material
- renamed gloss_mir to roughness
- set default of roughness to 0.25
- renamed ray_mirror to metallic
- cleaned up material rna (BI mirror struct)
- use BLINN phong model
- normalize incoming/outgoing specular light
- when using camera oriented studiolight, the SolidLight will be used
for specular highlights
- EXPERIMENT: when in world oriented studiolight only the shadow direction will be used.
- change the settings of the internal light to make scenes more
readable
The Studio lights are now loaded from disk. The location is
`datafiles/studiolights` they need to be JPG for now. JPG cannot store
HDRI color range but they are clamped inside the Workbench
engine for speed reason. I didn't select JP2K as it might not be
enabled.
Users can add upto 20 HDRI files. This limitation is inside the
RNA_space.c Currently the icons are calculated when you first open the
selection box for the HDRI's. We could add them to a background
rendering later.
I added 2 test files a sky texture rendered in Cycles and an HDRI from
cloud.blender.org.
