More improvements to boolean tools. The main change (although very little in
code) is changing fuzzy comparisons of floating point values. For testing, a
new define is added in intern/boolop/intern/BOP_MathUtils.h called
VAR_EPSILON, which enables better comparisons. This is turned on by default;
undefining it will revert to using the previous comparisons. The downside of
these new comparisons is a loss in speed, but the resulting meshes are more
likely to be manifold (although still not always).
The other changes include speed improvements based on profiling results and
fixes for the improper creation of triangular faces with only two vertices.
------
Bugfix #6847: Previous fix for "spikes" when using booleans caused creation
of faces with only two unique vertices ("eekadoodles"). This patch cleans up
the test for triangles with near-colinear vertices so PHANTOM faces can be
used again, and also adds a hack for now which removes any eekadoodle faces.
I haven't figured out yet exactly how the faces are being created; if I can
do so and fix it the hack will be removed.
-----
Bugfix #6847: Boolean code was marking some valid faces as "PHANTOM" when the
three vertices were nearly co-linear (according to its tests). This
introduced holes into one or both meshes which could then result in either
holes in the final results and/or spurrious faces which should have been
split.
This commit removes the code in question until either an alternative test is
coded.
which caused faces of convex objects to be classified wrongly. Also removed
some dead code. For convex objects, the BSP trees would also be literally
orders of magnitude larger than they were supposed to be (one test with a
5000 face torus reduced the BSP tree size from 5.96 million nodes to just 72.1
thousand).
- fix for 3DPlugin compile
- cleanup of bullet path
- removed PHY_ODE project from 3D plugin too, not used anymore
Now all configurations should build again, let me know of any problems!
Not been able to test if the 3DPlugin is actually working,is job for another day ;)
Also the 3DPlugin is compiled without OpenExr, this needs to be looked into once too.
- fixed WinTab locking positioning into absolute mode
- hopefully fixes [ #5586 ] Cursor control
Note: Setting the extent of the digitizing context causes Application to override
system settings for pen/mouse control. Removing this fixed the issue.
headers <al.h>, <alc.h>, and <alut.h> instead of <AL/al.h>, <AL/alc.h>,
and <AL/alut.h>
(cmake generated makefiles now work out of the box on my intel mac)
on OSX to have slow selection and mouse response.
Code from the previous commit is still there, but the #define that
triggers it has been commented out.
- GEdon't crash when attempting to add constraint on game objects without physics controller
- GEimproved some physics -> graphics synchronization issues
- small experiment with game engine timing to smooth framerate/reduce tearing
- removed warnings in attributes.cpp,
- and a first Klockwork bug fix: removed NULL returns in ntl_ray.h,
several other issues mentioned in the Klockwork report
are either hard to fix or not really errors...
I should have talked to joeedh before committing last time...
This is an another attempt to fix the mingw long commandline
issue on all versions of windows (I didn't realize that the
2k in Win2k refered to the length of the commandline).
In this version, I break libsrc.a up so that no archive has
more than 30 object files (adjustable with one line of
code). I also fudge the priority numbers to ensure correct
linking. This was done in a "guess the number" way until
it worked, so please test and please check for correctness.
WINDOWS CRASH EMULATION!
If you use the -d (debug) argument for starting blender, it will now:
- set all freed memory to 0xFFFFFFFF
- set all malloced memory to 0xFFFFFFFF
The first option will give nice crashers when you read from freed memory.
The second option is for OSX especially, it has the nasty habit to give
zeroed mallocs.
duplicate code. Also removed redundant files from the bsp module,
that where replaced by boolop last year, no sense in updating them
for these changes. On the user level things should still work the
same, this is only preparation work.
Not counting the removed files, -1501 lines of code, not too bad :)
Basic support for normal pressure sensitivity is implemented, adding other features like tilt etc. shouldn't be too difficult, now that basic support is there.
Tested with WACOM Volito on Windows XP using the pressure sensitivity with texture paint to change size of the brush .
Added additional include dir to scons, and MSVC 7 project files - other build systems might have to be updated.
#4742 exported normals are now correct
#4821 & 4956 for complex movements in/outflows can now also
use the animated mesh option
- new features
* isosurface subdivision: directly
creates a finer surface mesh from the simulation data.
this increases simulation time and harddisk usage, though, so
be careful - usually values of 2-4 should be enough.
* fluidsim particles: extended model for particle
simulation and generation. When isosurface subdivision is enabled,
the particles are now included in the surface generation,
giving a better impression of a single connected surface.
Note - the particles are only included in the final surface
mesh, so the preview surface shows none of the particle
effects.
* particle loading: different types of particles can now be selected for
display: drops, floats and tracers. This is a bit obsolete
due to the extensions mentioned above, but might still be useful.
Floats are just particles floating on the fluid surface, could
be used for e.g. foam.
* moving objects impact factor: this is another tweaking option,
as the handling of moving objects is still not conserving
mass. setting this to zero simply deletes the fluid, 1 is
the default, while larger values cause a stronger
impact. For tweaking the simulation: if fluid disappears, try
increasing this value, and if too much is appearing reduce it.
You can even use negative values for some strange results :)
- more code cleanup, e.g. removed config file writing in fluidsim.c,
added additional safety checks for particles & fluidsim domains (these
currently dont work together). I also removed the "build particles"
debug message in effects.c (seemed to be unnecessary?).
Some more info on the new features:
Here are two test animations showing the difference between
using the particle generation with isosurface subdivision.
This is how it would look with the old solver version:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_1noparts.mpg
and this with the new one:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_2wparts.mpg
Both simulations use a resolution of 64, however, the version with particles
takes significantly longer (almost twice as long).
The .blend file for a similar setup can be found here:

(Minor Tips for this file: dont enable subdivions of characters until rendering,
thus leave off for simulation, as it uses the rendering settings! For making
nice pictures switch on subdivion, and OSA.)
And here's a picture of old vs. new (for webpage or so):

Boolean crashed when using vertexcolors or UVs. The fix is disputable... it
just always returns a valid char * for "face vertex material", whatever
that may be... this fix seems not to break anything.
Also moved the report to Todo tracker, with message:
-> Need new Boolean maintainer!
