* Made changes to the Controller so that dynamically allocated
memory areas (e.g. imported mesh data, winged edges, and a view map)
are released soon after they become unnecessary.
* Added a new feature edge selection criterion based on image border.
When the "Selection by Image Border" option is enabled, feature edges
are selected only if they are within the border of the image being
rendered. The border is defined either by the frame size or a border
region (specified by the Shift-B key in a 3D View window). When large
scenes are rendered, this clipping by the image border leads to less
memory consumption.
* Enabled the "Silhouette", "Border", and "Crease" edge types of
the Selection by Edge Types option by default.
When no edge types are specified, all feature edges including "Ridge",
"Valley" and "Suggestive Contour" are detected at the cost of extra
memory consumption. Disabling these three edge types and enabling
some other edge type leads to less memory consumption. This change
is intended to help new Freestyle users by providing a typical, low
memory consumption default setting.
* Slightly rearranged the UI controls for feature edge selection.
The Freestyle tab in the Render buttons has a couple of new
options "Group" and "Group Negation". The Group option specifies
a group of objects (defined through the Groups tab in the Object
buttons), while the Group Negation value is either INCLUSIVE or
EXCLUSIVE. If INCLUSIVE, feature edges belonging to some object
in the group are selected. Otherwise, those feature edges not
belonging to any object in the group are selected.
- a linear float buffer was being created and saved into a non-linear DPX/Cineon file.
- removed the UI since the settings are not used at the moment.
added a utility function IMB_float_profile_ensure(), which returns a float buffer in the requested profile, using the existing if needed or returning an allocated buffer if the profile is different to that of the ImBuf. - Useful this case where the save function has its own linear setting.
With this option disabled, the smoothness of faces is ignored and
jagged feature edges (when seen from a three-dimensional viewpoint)
are generated. If the new option is enabled, face smoothness is taken
into account during the view map calculation, resulting in smooth
feature edges in 3D. This generally leads to more stable strokes, and
also permits more stylization possibilities relying on the feature
edge smoothness in 3D. The downside of smooth feature edges is that
the visibility is mathematically not well-defined and may cause some
artefact in rendering results. The new option is thus intended to
allow users to try both jagged and smooth feature edges and see which
ones would fit individual application needs. This option is disabled
by default.
When a .blend file is saved, the "Remap Relative" option allows users
to keep relative paths valid even if the .blend file is saved into a
different directory. Now the Remap Relative option takes care of relative
paths to style module files. In addition, the following operations work
as expected with respect to style modules:
- File >> External Data >> Make All Path Relative
- File >> External Data >> Make All Path Absolute
- File >> External Data >> Report Missing Files
* Indentation fix in the UI code (no functionality changes).
* FSA and motion blur can't work nicely together the way they're currently implemented, so I disabled this in the ui and code.
* FSA is used if both are selected.
* Also changed the name "Full Sample Motion Blur" to "Sampled Motion Blur" to avoid confusion with full sample anti-aliasing.
was missing button for single layer rendering.
also renamed Object.show_shape_key to Object.show_only_shape_key since this pin's the shape key so others are disabled.
of both ends of strokes. The three cap types are: 1) butt caps (flat);
2) round caps (half-circle); and 3) square caps (flat and extended).
Also implemented an option to join those feature edges of the same
object. These options are available in the "Stroke" tab of the
"Freestyle: Line Style" panel in the Render buttons.
- re-arranged UI in a way that gave far too much vert scrolling.
- was added all over for simple things like making text="", layout engine should handle this.
- Ton and Brecht are ok with removing this now. Ton would like to work on the layout engine to make it better support these cases.
poll() function is now a static method in python, this is more correct, matching C where the operator is not created to run poll.
def poll(self, context): ...
is now...
@staticmethod
def poll(context): ...
Pythons way of doing static methods is a bit odd but cant be helped :|
This does make subclassing poll functions with COMPAT_ENGINES break, so had to modify quite a few scripts for this.
A number of UI elements were newly introduced to control line color, alpha
transparency and line thickness by means of base color/alpha/thickness plus
modifiers that alter the base values. To begin with, three basic modifiers
were prototyped with the aim of putting the new UI framework in practice
and evaluating if it works properly.
The Parameter Editor mode is still in a work-in-progress state and totally
useless from users' viewpoint.
criteria. Now the Inclusive/Exclusive and Logical AND/OR options are
only applied to feature edge types, while the conditions on visibility
and edge types are always combined by logical conjunction. Also, the
crease angle, sphere radius and Kr derivative epsilon are treated as
render layer-specific options instead of lineset-specific options.
