This commit implements basis stuff needed for object tracking,
use case isn't perfect now, interface also should be cleaned a bit.
- Added list of objects to be tracked. Default there's only one object called
"Camera" which is used for solving camera motion. Other objects can be added
and each of them will have it;s own list of tracks. Only one object can be used
for camera solving at this moment.
- Added new constraint called "Object Tracking" which makes oriented object be
moving in the save way as solved object motion.
- Scene orientation tools can be used for orienting object to bundles.
- All tools which works with list of tracks or reconstruction data now
gets that lists from active editing object.
- All objects and their tracking data are available via python api.
===========================
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.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
Detailed information can be found on the wiki page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phonybone/Particles2010
* Tweaked order of handle types to make it easier to find Auto/Auto-
clamped in the list
* Fixed a number of places which were still just checking for auto-
handles when they should have included auto-clamped too, including
handle rotation
On dragging a non-connected node on a noodle, it will insert it.
Functionality tweaks are possible, but it already feels non-intrusive.
Rules:
- Insertion only when a single noodle is intersecting with node.
- Default connects first matching socket type.
- If no socket match, it connects the first.
disabled, the strips are drawn so that they take up less vertical
space.
Originally, the primary reason why these were taller than those in the
other animation editors was really so that these control curves could
be visualised adequately. So, when these aren't shown, we can afford
to collapse the strips vertically.
This should make it possible to fit more strips on screen to retime
them. in some staggered fashion.
didn't perform updates
* This problem was caused by a typo when adapting old code
* Fixed crash where keyframes-update was being called in Grease Pencil
transforms too
Todo:
Outliner/Datablocks Viewer doesn't update that nicely when these
keyframes get modified. Outside of gdb, I managed to get a few non-
repeatable crashes here; while debugging though, there was only some
lagging oddness if panning before the tree updated.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
- was using un-initialized stack memory if the source / target object had no vertex group.
- if the target object had no vertex groups it would fails silently (not a bug but not very good functionality)
- added an error message if any copying fails.
Dunno how long this has been broken for (*), but the Time Slide
transform tool in DopeSheet no longer did anything most of the time.
It appeared to be be caused by some blotched indexing code from ages
ago. I've fixed this problem, as well as preventing the case where it
would also give errors when only a single key was selected.
(*) Does anyone actually use this tool? IIRC, this was added during
Orange, though I can't find the commit for this anymore or why it was
added. Probably it might be better to just let it go...
