responses.
The S matrix together with the z Vector encodes the degrees of freedom
of a colliding hair point and the target velocity change. In a collision
the hair vertex is restricted in the normal direction (when moving
toward the collider) and the collision dynamics define target velocity.
This simply uses the position above the triangle instead of the
intersection point of the vertex path. The other method was broken
anyway, but also has a problem catching all the contacts reliably. The
new method might have a few false positives but that is acceptable.
solver that properly supports constraints with some degrees-of-freedom.
The previous solver implementation only used the S matrix (constraint
filter matrix) for pinning vertices, in which case all elements are
zero and the error doesn't show up. With partial constraints (useful for
collision contacts) the matrix has non-zero off-diagonal elements and
the algorithm easily diverges.
There are also initial steps for implementing collision prevention as
described in the Baraff/Witkin paper "Large Steps in Cloth Simulation"
(http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~baraff/papers/sig98.pdf).
This is a first test, the contacts are very explosive atm because they
basically pin hair vertices globally on collision, which leads to
stretching of the springs which is then suddenly released in the next
frame.
Instead of handling contact tests and collision response in the same
function in collision.c, first generate contact points and return them
as a list, then free at the end of the stepping function. This way the
contact response can be integrated into the conjugate gradient method
properly instead of using the hackish and unstable double evaluation
that is currently used.
The original BLI method for line/triangle intersection returns false
in case the line does not actually intersect, but in order to generate
repulsion forces we need to also handle contacts inside the margin.
timestep segment.
This ensures the distance for a collision pair is the one of the current
point position, and the response gets calculated accordingly.
simulation.
Note that this currently generates an extreme amount of points, by
making a edit pathcache curve for each hair in every frame! But at least
doesn't simply crash now.
This implements a penalty force as well as a repulsion force to avoid
further penetration, as suggested in
"Simulating Complex Hair with Robust Collision Handling"
(http://graphics.snu.ac.kr/publications/2005-choe-HairSim/Choe_2005_SCA.pdf)
Friction forces are still missing. More problematic is handling of
moving colliders, when face swap places with the hair vertex and a
collision is missed, putting the vertex inside the mesh volume. Larger
margins might help, but ultimately using Bullet collision detection is
probably more reliable and failsafe.
as forces, velocities, contact points etc.
This uses a hash table to store debug elements (dots, lines, vectors at
this point). The hash table allows continuous display of elements that
are generated only in certain time steps, e.g. contact points, while
avoiding massive memory allocation. In any case, this system is really
a development feature, but very helpful in finding issues with the
internal solver data.
This is still using the old BVH tree collision methods to generate
contact points, similar to what cloth does. This should be replaced
by a Bullet collision check, but generating contacts in this way is
easier for now, and lets us test responses and stability (although in
more complex collision cases the BVH method fails utterly, beside being
terribly inefficient with many colliders).
on itself.
This uses the same voxel structure as the hair smoothing algorithm.
A slightly different method was suggested in the original paper
(Volumetric Methods for Simulation and Rendering of Hair), but this is
based on directing hair based on a target density, which is another
way of implementing global goals. Our own approach is to define a
pressure threshold above which the hair is repelled in the density
gradient direction to simulate internal pressure from collisions.
This is an important hair interaction feature that simulates friction
between hairs in an efficient way. The method is based on the paper
"Volumetric Methods for Simulation and Rendering of Hair"
( http://graphics.pixar.com/library/Hair/paper.pdf )
It was partially implemented already, but didn't work in this simplified
version. The same voxel structure can be used for implemeting repelling
forces on hair based on density, which can help a hair system maintain
volume instead of collapsing in on itself.
the suggested tent function from the original paper.
Plain float->int conversion for the grid location otherwise leads to
skewed data and unnecessary loss of information.
Issue was, when requesting (building) lnors for a mesh that has
autosmooth disabled, one would expect to simply get vnors as lnors.
Until now, it wasn't the case, which was bad e.g. for normal projections
of loops in recent remap code (projecting along split loop normals
when you would expect projection along vertex normals...).
Also, removed the 'angle' parameter from RNA's `mesh.calc_normals_split`.
This should *always* use mesh settings (both autosmooth and smoothresh),
otherwise once again we'd get inconsistencies in some cases.
Will update fbx and obj addons too.
Mesh stores its dvert in a specific pointer too, in addition of regular CD layer...
That whole vgroup handling is really breaking apart the 'universality' of CD system. :(
Also added some DAG and WM updates in operators...
So far, we had an operator to 'bake' keyframe curves into samples, but no
way to make the fcurve editable again (i.e. to convert it back into a keyframes one).
Needed to fix mocap addon (see T43259).
Also, fixed a glitch in `fcurve_store_samples()`, since given end frame is included in range,
it is valid to give same start and end frame (in case you want a single point in samples,
not much practical cases, but...).
If sound_read_waveform() cannot read the file (i.e. info.length is
zero), set the sound's waveform to a valid waveform of zero
length. This indicates that reading the waveform is done so that it
doesn't get tried over and over again.

This parameter was confusing in three ways:
1. It should have been named "lock" because it was used to take and
release the sound mutex, not to indicate whether it was locked.
2. In the one place this function gets called the locked argument was
set to "true", so not much point in having it optional.
3. I can't imagine that it would ever be a good idea to skip taking
and releasing the mutex.

Added extra checks for constructive modifiers which might in theory cause deformation
motion blur. it's still not totally perfect but we're getting really close to what we
can do in the best case scenario.
This commit might cause some extra time being spent on scene synchronization because
there might be now some false-positive results, but render time should stay quite the
same as before (apart from cases when there is deformation happening which was not
detected before).
* Ensure that when new constraints are created, the new settings have sensible
default values.
TODO: we need to version-patch old files
* Fix problem with variable shadowing (which wasn't causing problems AFAIK)
From the looks of things, this was a typo. The result was that if you had a bone
with the minimum volume restriction in place, the bone would not get any thinner
when it was stretched out.
This commit adds a new type of volume preservation mode to Spline IK
which makes it possible to set limits on the minimum and maximum
scaling of bone "fatness".
* The old volume preseving mode has been kept but renamed, to avoid
breaking old rigs. "Volume Presevation" uses the new method, while
"Inverse Preservation" is the old one.
* The code and settings for this new xz scale mode are directly lifted
from the improved Stretch To constraint
Happens because material setting now occurs in the derived mesh drawing
routine as it should. However that means that it also happens during
selection and that influenced the drawing state somehow.
In 2.72 this did not occur because material setting happened during draw
setting (skip or draw) instead of after the draw setting passed (so
selection would skip it by use another draw setting function). Of course
this violated design but worked.
Made it now so backbuffer selection does not enable materials (it's
redundant in those cases anyway).
This could be ported to a possible 'a' release but as is classic with
display code there may be some other places that it could backfire.
Tested fix with texture/vertex painting and selection which use
backbuffer for both subsurf and regular meshes and it seems to work OK.
