This commit restores the 'Playback FPS' option which showed an indicator of the frame rate of animation playback in the 3D-View.
The info for this is now stored in a temp struct in scene data, with the status info being updated by the "animation step" operator instead of relying on globals as the old code did. This seems a lot more stable than in 2.49, but the accuracy is still questionable.
- 'Toggle' operators for channel settings now now act more like the select-all type of "toggle" operator. The old behaviour has now been moved to "invert".
- Channel settings are now flushed (like for visibility and when clicking) for muting and locking when using the operators
* Fixed problem where selecting an individual F-Curve would not set the selection correctly.
Group channels still needed a separate selection check before they get included in the filtered list. I had removed this in an earlier fixing commit today, but overlooked that expanded groups wouldn't get this check. Therefore, group channels would also be flushed on, turning all channels of group on.
* Removed the 'curvesonly' test from deciding whether the selection status + collapsed group fix, from the earlier commit, since this was making a few cases get overlooked (namely for setting visibility toggles, where selected F-Curves in closed and deselected groups still managed to get through)
* Added a debugging print API call for helping with debugging this sort of error in future. It just prints the types of channels being operated on, to easily see what's going on...
This commit introduces the Select More/Less Operators (Ctrl +/-) for keyframes. This works like the ones for curves, by only selecting/deselecting keyframes lying in the same F-Curve. Inter F-Curve selection is not done by this operator. That is the job for another one.
This is especially useful for F-Curves set in the 0-1-0 pattern (i.e. 3 keyframes forming localised peaks), where the peaks can be selected by clicking on them individually, and immediately surrounding '0' values are selected too using "Select More".
set the draw method to triple buffer or overlap depending on the
configuration. Ideally I could get all cases working well with triple
buffer but it's hard in practice. At the moment there are two cases
that use overlap instead:
* opensource ATI drives on linux
* windows software renderer
Also added a utility function to check GPU device/os/driver.
This commit introduces a few cleanups and tweaks to the way that timecodes (i.e. the timing indications used instead of frame numbers) get displayed.
1. Custom Spacing of TimeCodes/Gridlines
Made the minimum number of pixels between gridlines/timecode indications a user-preference, instead of being a hardcoded constant. This allows to set the spacing tighter/looser than the defaults, and is also used for the other changes.
2. Default timecode display style, (now named 'minimal') uses '+' as the delimeter for the sub-second frames. This hopefully makes it a bit clearer what those values represent, as opposed to the '!', which can sometimes look too much like a colon.
3. Added various timecode display styles as user-preference. - These include always displaying full SMPTE, to showing milliseconds instead of frams for sub-second times, and also an option to just show the times as seconds only.
- When changing the timecode style, the spacing setting is automatically modified so that the timecodes are spaced far apart enough so that they won't clash (under most circumstances). This automatic modification is only done if the spacing is too tight for the style being set.
4. Unified the code for generating timecode strings between the View2D scrollbar drawing and the current frame indicator drawing.
* The Lift/Gamma/Gain formula previously was incorrect, fixed this and
removed conversions - now the RNA values are the same as what goes into
the formula.
* Because of this, added the ability for the Value slider to map to a wider range
than 0.0-1.0. The black/white gradient remains the same, in this case just
indicating darker/brighter rather than absolute colour values. Also added ability
for color wheels to be locked at full brightness (useful for this case, where the
color value itself is dark).
* Added an alternate formula - offset/power/slope (asc-cdl). This fits the standard
Color Decision List formula, here for compatibility with other systems, though
default Lift/Gamma/Gain is easier to use and gives nicer results.
Blender too now! :)
** Drag works as follows:
- drag-able items are defined by the standard interface ui toolkit
- each button can get this feature, via uiButSetDragXXX(but, ...).
There are calls to define drag-able images, ID blocks, RNA paths,
file paths, and so on. By default you drag an icon, exceptionally
an ImBuf
- Drag items are registered centrally in the WM, it allows more drag
items simultaneous too, but not implemented
** Drop works as follows:
- On mouse release, and if drag items exist in the WM, it converts
the mouse event to an EVT_DROP type. This event then gets the full
drag info as customdata
- drop regions are defined with WM_dropbox_add(), similar to keymaps
you can make a "drop map" this way, which become 'drop map handlers'
in the queues.
- next to that the UI kit handles some common button types (like
accepting ID or names) to be catching a drop event too.
- Every "drop box" has two callbacks:
- poll() = check if the event drag data is relevant for this box
- copy() = fill in custom properties in the dropbox to initialize
an operator
- The dropbox handler then calls its standard Operator with its
dropbox properties.
** Currently implemented
Drag items:
- ID icons in browse buttons
- ID icons in context menu of properties region
- ID icons in outliner and rna viewer
- FileBrowser icons
- FileBrowser preview images
Drag-able icons are subtly visualized by making them brighter a bit
on mouse-over. In case the icon is a button or UI element too (most
cases), the drag-able feature will make the item react to
mouse-release instead of mouse-press.
Drop options:
- UI buttons: ID and text buttons (paste name)
- View3d: Object ID drop copies object
- View3d: Material ID drop assigns to object under cursor
- View3d: Image ID drop assigns to object UV texture under cursor
- Sequencer: Path drop will add either Image or Movie strip
- Image window: Path drop will open image
** Drag and drop Notes:
- Dropping into another Blender window (from same application) works
too. I've added code that passes on mousemoves and clicks to other
windows, without activating them though. This does make using multi-window
Blender a bit friendler.
- Dropping a file path to an image, is not the same as dropping an
Image ID... keep this in mind. Sequencer for example wants paths to
be dropped, textures in 3d window wants an Image ID.
- Although drop boxes could be defined via Python, I suggest they're
part of the UI and editor design (= how we want an editor to work), and
not default offered configurable like keymaps.
- At the moment only one item can be dragged at a time. This is for
several reasons.... For one, Blender doesn't have a well defined
uniform way to define "what is selected" (files, outliner items, etc).
Secondly there's potential conflicts on what todo when you drop mixed
drag sets on spots. All undefined stuff... nice for later.
- Example to bypass the above: a collection of images that form a strip,
should be represented in filewindow as a single sequence anyway.
This then will fit well and gets handled neatly by design.
- Another option to check is to allow multiple options per drop... it
could show the operator as a sort of menu, allowing arrow or scrollwheel
to choose. For time being I'd prefer to try to design a singular drop
though, just offer only one drop action per data type on given spots.
- What does work already, but a tad slow, is to use a function that
detects an object (type) under cursor, so a drag item's option can be
further refined (like drop object on object = parent). (disabled)
** More notes
- Added saving for Region layouts (like split points for toolbar)
- Label buttons now handle mouse over
- File list: added full path entry for drop feature.
- Filesel bugfix: wm_operator_exec() got called there and fully handled,
while WM event code tried same. Added new OPERATOR_HANDLED flag for this.
Maybe python needs it too?
- Cocoa: added window move event, so multi-win setups work OK (didnt save).
- Interface_handlers.c: removed win->active
- Severe area copy bug: area handlers were not set to NULL
- Filesel bugfix: next/prev folder list was not copied on area copies
** Leftover todos
- Cocoa windows seem to hang on cases still... needs check
- Cocoa 'draw overlap' swap doesn't work
- Cocoa window loses focus permanently on using Spotlight
(for these reasons, makefile building has Carbon as default atm)
- ListView templates in UI cannot become dragged yet, needs review...
it consists of two overlapping UI elements, preventing handling icon clicks.
- There's already Ghost library code to handle dropping from OS
into Blender window. I've noticed this code is unfinished for Macs, but
seems to be complete for Windows. Needs test... currently, an external
drop event will print in console when succesfully delivered to Blender's WM.
- use mirror when the option is enabled in editmode.
- fliped group names are used when they exist.
- only the setting that is edited will be applied to the mirrored verts group.
- copy value is applied to all mirrored verts of the selection.
- normalize normalizes all vgroups and mirrors.
utility functions defvert_sync and defvert_sync_mapped, similar to defvert_copy but does not remove existing groups and optionally creates groups as needed.
defvert_sync_mapped uses a an int array for mapping the flipped values.
Added flags for the mapping function offering more control over what values were affected and when. In the WIP code, the values for unselected verts were getting the restoration conversion being repeatedly applied, resulting in the values tending to zero.
F-Curves now internally store radians again instead of degrees.
- This solves problems with inconsistencies when working with drivers.
- No need to version patch old files, potentially screwing them up. As such, removed the version patching for F-Curves.
- Is better suited to optionally showing radians throughout the UI instead or degrees.
As a result, values are now converted on the fly in the Graph Editor for display and operators that operate on values. I've made the conversion system for this rather general, so that other unit type conversions can also be hooked up with the type conversion backend.
Also, made some tweaks to F-Curve RNA wrapping to make it represent the data better.
TODO:
- Transform code currently still needs to be corrected to work with these changes. Currently moving keyframes for rotation curves will make them change too rapidly vertically when using degrees.
levels, child particles, and shadow/SSS/AO quality.. Now also works on what
is displayed in the 3d view instead of only rendering, see panel in the scene
properties.
Most file changes were to make scene available in the isDisabled modifier
callback function.
Action Groups can now be expanded/collapsed in DopeSheet editors without the same thing happening in the Graph Editor, and visa versa.
This should help improve the workflow, since the channel lists are generally kept more compact in the DopeSheet, while they are more expanded in the Graph Editor, so less time is spent expanding/collapsing stuff. Also this should hopefully alleviate some of the errors from accidentally deleting and then having to restore channels that were not intended to be deleted.
Also, switched the order of the expand/collapse hotkeys (in the channels list region) for channels so that Ctrl +/- now expands/collapses selected channels only, while +/- expands/collapses all channels. This should make it more convenient to quickly open up all groups to select F-Curves for the Graph Editor.
Was very quick to do, now re-aquainted with node editor.

Todo: modes for affecting hue and value on the vertical axis as well as just saturation - or if an enterprising coder wants to give it a go, let me know and
I can help :)
This commit makes the new-style Motion Paths work for Objects and Bones. Motion Paths can either be added for Objects (Object buttons) or for Selected Bones in PoseMode (Armature Buttons), and/or removed from these panels too.
Changes:
* Changed the way the baking code worked, since it was better to be able to bake a bunch of objects at once, instead of doing it per object
* Fixed a variety of bugs regarding initialising defaults and reading old files
* Added operators for Objects (like for bones), and replaced the existing code for bones.
* Fixed bug with baking code that was causing it to bake the wrong ranges
Todos:
* Frame number drawing is currently messed up, since the "cached" text drawing takes into account the object transforms.
* The new MotionPath panels currently appear as the first panels in the respective contexts, probably due to the order in which the files are included. This needs some fixing, though not sure what the best way is yet.
* Added a generic 'histogram' ui control, currently available in new image editor
'scopes' region (shortcut P). Shows the histogram of the currently viewed image.
It's a baby step in unifying the functionality and code from the sequence editor,
so eventually we can migrate the sequence preview to the image editor too,
like compositor.
Still a couple of rough edges to tweak, regarding when it updates. Also would
be very nice to have this region as a partially transparent overlapping region...
* Added Theme support for the console.
You can change:
-Header Color
-Text Color of Output, Input, Info and Error Messages. (Inside the User Preferences -> Themes)
The reverted code was just blindly restoring the old state of the keyframes; changes to selection state, value changes, handle type, etc. were overridden, and the cases where keyframes were deliberately retimed or otherwise were also ignored.
I'm not sure what problems these changes were meant to be solving, but will reassess the situation when I get more info on this.
and other operations the nla mapping would be applied to the curves, but not
restored correctly. The unmap function was not the inverse of the map function,
and it's not clear to me it's even possible to make it so due to repeat, so
now the old coordinates are backed up in a list and then restored afterwards.
Protect and Mute toggles now flush their values when changed, like for visibility, making the workflow a bit smoother. Currently, this only takes effect when clicking on the toggles (i.e. the hotkey+select based toggle setting operators don't take this into account yet).
A solid color backdrop is now drawn behind the mute/protect toggles and sliders, reducing the visual clutter with long names still appearing behind the UI widgets.
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/colorwheels.jpg
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
- account for parts of the line going off into infinity by making the stroke stretch between the last valid depth values (like an elastic band), if the endpoints are not over any geometry then use the closest valid depth.
is now just used to set the rotation property value during invoke.
This removes some reliance on 3d view info for non-interactive use, and also lets you specify
new object's locations/rotations explicitly when calling from Python.
