********* Node editor work:
- To enable Nodes for Materials, you have to set the "Use Nodes"
button, in the new Material buttons "Nodes" Panel or in header
of the Node editor. Doing this will disable Material-Layers.
- Nodes now execute materials ("shaders"), but still only using the
previewrender code.
- Nodes have (optional) previews for rendered images.
- Node headers allow to hide buttons and/or preview image
- Nodes can be dragged larger/smaller (right-bottom corner)
- Nodes can be hidden (minimized) with hotkey H
- CTRL+click on an Input Socket gives a popup with default values.
- Changing Material/Texture or Mix node will adjust Node title.
- Click-drag outside of a Node changes cursor to "Knife' and allows to
draw a rect where to cut Links.
- Added new node types RGBtoBW, Texture, In/Output, ColorRamp
- Material Nodes have options to ouput diffuse or specular, or to use
a negative normal. The input socket 'Normal' will force the material
to use that normal, otherwise it uses the normal from the Material
that has the node tree.
- When drawing a link between two not-matching sockets, Blender inserts
a converting node (now only for value/rgb combos)
- When drawing a link to an input socket that's already in use, the
old link will either disappear or flip to another unused socket.
- A click on a Material Node will activate it, and show all its settings
in the Material Buttons. Active Material Nodes draw the material icon
in red.
- A click on any node will show its options in the Node Panel in the
Material buttons.
- Multiple Output Nodes can be used, to sample contents of a tree, but
only one Output is the real one, which is indicated in a different
color and red material icon.
- Added ThemeColors for node types
- ALT+C will convert existing Material-Layers to Node... this currently
only adds the material/mix nodes and connects them. Dunno if this is
worth a lot of coding work to make perfect?
- Press C to call another "Solve order", which will show all possible
cyclic conflicts (if there are).
- Technical: nodes now use "Type" structs which define the
structure of nodes and in/output sockets. The Type structs store all
fixed info, callbacks, and allow to reconstruct saved Nodes to match
what is required by Blender.
- Defining (new) nodes now is as simple as filling in a fixed
Type struct, plus code some callbacks. A doc will be made!
- Node preview images are by default float
********* Icon drawing:
- Cleanup of how old icons were implemented in new system, making
them 16x16 too, correctly centered *and* scaled.
- Made drawing Icons use float coordinates
- Moved BIF_calcpreview_image() into interface_icons.c, renamed it
icon_from_image(). Removed a lot of unneeded Imbuf magic here! :)
- Skipped scaling and imbuf copying when icons are OK size
********* Preview render:
- Huge cleanup of code....
- renaming BIF_xxx calls that only were used internally
- BIF_previewrender() now accepts an argument for rendering method,
so it supports icons, buttonwindow previewrender and node editor
- Only a single BIF_preview_changed() call now exists, supporting all
signals as needed for buttos and node editor
********* More stuff:
- glutil.c, glaDrawPixelsSafe() and glaDrawPixelsTex() now accept format
argument for GL_FLOAT rects
- Made the ColorBand become a built-in button for interface.c
Was a load of cleanup work in buttons_shading.c...
- removed a load of unneeded glBlendFunc() calls
- Fixed bug in calculating text length for buttons (ancient!)
http://www.blender.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7646
and loading of old corrupt blendfiles.
Makes sure bhead.len is not < 0 (hacked blendfile)
also sets buffer to 0 when fails to read correctly (wasn't set so
was causing problems)
The second thing was provided by pidhash.
Kent
- delete/duplicate with connection links
- type awareness for sockets
- make connections checks for max amount of possible connections
- added dependency sorting of node list
- cyclic connections are drawn red now, press Ckey to see the other bad
cycles.
- added UI toolkit support in nodes (try shift+a)
So, almost ready for execution code. :)
- Sunday merger with bf-blender
- Foundations for new Node editor in Blender, generic framework that can
be used for Material/Texture, Compositing, Logic or maybe even Sequencer.
Note: this doesn't do anything yet, nor save! Is just to get this nice
in CVS now. :)
no shadow a little bit. Uses same threshold function as the "Bias" button.
(That latter still works, and will use an automatic bias value based on the
geometry, to prevent terminator errors in raytracing).
Anyhoo, with this manual bias you can get rid of terminator problems for
weird diffuse shaders now as well (like tangent or fresnel).
Committed a few more files than needed, that's just code cleanup.
Finally (after 10 years!) fixed the issue that was marked in a comment in
the top of the readfile.c... when using multiple library files at once,
the code that tries to map old to new pointers could fail when accidentally
pointers (in different files) had same old values.
Current code now uses proper lookup tables per open library file.
Last issues to solve;
- pointer tables still suffer the 'accidental pointer' error when linking
multiple levels of library deep, with recursive back linking to higher
levels... (I know is stupid, but should be solved!)
- The code for relative paths doesnt work for multiple levels, when the
files use different relative paths.
So... now I understand file reading and libraries again, I couldn't leave
it to do a nice optimize step. This commit introduces bsearch() for finding
the elements in the pointer table, while reconstructing links. Tests reveil
a speedup of a factor 2-5 on complex scenes. And since undo uses same
system, quite nice in general!
(Note; speedup sometimes can't be noticed, when a lot of subsurfs or other
displaylists need to be generated.)
for Groups in official release still, which will give very bad results when
loading an Orange branch file with bf-blender, save over, and read back
in Orange branch.
Now, reading files with Groups in bf-blender will just completely ignore
them (not read nor save). That's destructive, but normal behaviour and
stable.
Phew... a whole day revision of library linking system... there was a bug
when objects got linked, then removed, and then linked via a group... this
was a weak part in the library system, when data is used both "direct"
(like local object is linked to scene) and "indirect" (when group from a
library has same object).
The crucial fixes are easier to find by reading the diff... this system
is just braincrunching complex! Just as note to self then;
- ID_ID oldmap-lookups are now protected
- removed adding oldmap lookups for already read data
For Matt & Basse: you can do a very good cleanup of old files by putting
the "rt" button on 127, and then save file. This will skip writing any
reference to library data in the file, with exception of group links.
Reload a file might give some link errors, but a 2nd save and load then
should result in a clean file.
- On file reading, a check is added to see if a Pose has channels to
missing bones. Poses are supposed to match an Armature completely.
(Thanks for crash file, Johnny!... but how did you do it!)
- Own collection: added depsgraph update on setting all layers (with the
ACCENTGRAVEKEY). This also could potentially crash with modifiers
- Renamed Xkey menu in NLA to more properly tell what it does. :)
don't work consistant;
BLI_makestringcode()
This one works correct for paths that go up; it then makes a relative
path like : //../lib/file.blend
BLI_convertstringcode()
This one delivers different paths when it expands, the previous case
will just append the relative path, like /work/project/../lib/file.blend.
That string cannot be compared with the original... which happened to find
out if a library was read already.
Solution for now is that only the relative paths are compared, but it
won't work if multiple relative levels are used... like for libraries
that link recursive. To solve that, the entire 'relative' concept has to
be redesigned.
data (local data links to lib data) and "indirect" (lib links to same lib
data).
A real solution should be found though... there's a conflict in the code
I don't fully grasp yet.
- If a library became unreadable, with a print like:
ERROR: can't find lib //../../../../../../..//jorma_light.blend
Then set the F10 "rt" button to 111. :)
That will read files with a stripping routine to fix it.
- For lost actions in strips: press Lkey in NLA editor, this is the new
"re-link action" option. To get it work, dont forget to fill in the
proper Armature in NKey panel.
The real fix, for the code that corrupted relative paths, will be
part of the bf-blender branch merging, which follows.
-> Any Group Duplicate now can get local timing and local NLA override. This
enables to control the entire animation system of the Group.
Two methods for this have been implemented.
1) The quick way: just give the duplicator a "Startframe" offset.
2) Advanced: in the NLA Editor you can add ActionStrips to the duplicator
to override NLA/action of any Grouped Object.
For "Group NLA" to work, an ActionStrip needs to know which Object in a
group it controls. On adding a strip, the code checks if an Action was
already used by an Object in the Group, and assigns it automatic to that
Object.
You can also set this in the Nkey "Properties" panel for the strip.
Change in NLA: the SHIFT+A "Add strip" command now always adds strips to
the active Object. (It used to check where mouse was). This allows to add
NLA strips to Objects that didn't have actions/nla yet.
Important note: In Blender, duplicates are fully procedural and generated
on the fly for each redraw. This means that redraw speed equals to stepping
through frames, when using animated Duplicated Groups.
-> Recoded entire duplicator system
The old method was antique and clumsy, using globals and full temporal
copies of Object. The new system is nicer in control, faster, and since it
doesn't use temporal object copies anymore, it works better with Derived
Mesh and DisplayList and rendering.
By centralizing the code for duplicating, more options can be easier added.
Features to note:
- Duplicates now draw selected/unselected based on its Duplicator setting.
- Same goes for the drawtype (wire, solid, selection outline, etc)
- Duplicated Groups can be normally selected too
Bonus goodie: SHIFT+A (Toolbox) now has entry "Add group" too, with a
listing of all groups, allowing to add Group instances immediate.
-> Library System
- SHIFT+F4 data browse now shows the entire path for linked data
- Outliner draws Library Icons to denote linked data
- Outliner operation added: "Make Local" for library data.
- Outliner now also draws Groups in regular view, allowing to unlink too.
-> Fixes
- depsgraph missed signal update for bone-parented Objects
- on reading file, the entire database was tagged to "recalc" fully,
causing unnecessary slowdown on reading.
Might have missed stuff... :)
In Armature Pose-bone panel, the 'hide' button got replaced with a button
where you can type (TAB complete works) a name for a Mesh Object. It then
draws that Object instead of the indicated bone drawing type.
Fixes for bone layers:
- Akey in Editmode didnt work proper (now deselects all non visible bones
too. selection for editmode works on the vertices, not bones...
- Snap in Editmode now respects layers
Works like for Object layers, but local within Armature itself. Each Bone
can be in (16 now) any layer, and the Armature layer defines what is
visible or not. Also note that hiding will still work too.
Since the Blender code is *stuffed* with Bone options now, this commit
requires a good test if all tools we got now comply to layers...
(I counted 130 cases for checking for selected Bones in code!)
In PoseMode; hotkey M will show 'movetolayer' menu. Not in editmode...
then its the mirror menu.
Todo: make action/nla drawing comply to Armature layer settings.
Series of fixes in Library linking of groups;
- On library-linking (SHIFT-F1) a Group, the Objects now don't get a "Base"
anymore, meaning they won't show up as Objects in the Scene.
This ensures you can use the linked Group as duplicator without having
your file polluted with new (and linked) objects.
(I realize it should be possible to have it with Base too, will check)
- On append or file-read, the linked Group Objects get drawn properly,
but the animation system doesn't run yet.
- Group buttons (F7) now shows if a Group is from Library
- Outliner draws Library linked data with blue-ish text
Other fixes;
- Using group-duplicator, with originals in hidden layer, now shows and
updates animated Objects correctly.
- All of Object button panels did not have a proper protection against
editing Library data.
Previous experiment (in 2000) didn't satisfy, it had even some primitive
NLA option in groups... so, cleaned up the old code (removed most) and
integrated it back in a more useful way.
Usage:
- CTRL+G gives menu to add group, add to existing group, or remove from
groups.
- In Object buttons, a new (should become first) Panel was added, showing
not only Object "ID button" and Parent, but also the Groups the Object
Belongs to. These buttons also allow rename, assigning or removing.
- To indicate Objects are grouped, they're drawn in a (not theme yet, so
temporal?) green wire color.
- Use ALT+SHIFT mouse-select to (de)select an entire group
But, the real power of groups is in the following features:
-> Particle Force field and Guide control
In the "Particle Motion" Panel, you can indicate a Group name, this then
limits force fields or guides to members of that Group. (Note that layers
still work on top of that... not sure about that).
-> Light Groups
In the Material "Shaders" Panel, you can indicate a Group name to limit
lighting for the Material to lamps in this group. The Lights in a Group do
need to be 'visible' for the Scene to be rendered (as usual).
-> Group Duplicator
In the Object "Anim" Panel, you can set any Object (use Empty!) to
duplicate an entire Group. It will make copies of all Objects in that Group.
Also works for animated Objects, but it will copy the current positions or
deforms. Control over 'local timing' (so we can do Massive anims!) will be
added later.
(Note; this commit won't render Group duplicators yet, a fix in bf-blender
will enable that, next commit will sync)
-> Library Appending
In the SHIFT-F1 or SHIFT+F4 browsers, you can also find the Groups listed.
By appending or linking the Group itself, and use the Group Duplicator, you
now can animate and position linked Objects. The nice thing is that the
local saved file itself will only store the Group name that was linked, so
on a next file read, the Group Objects will be re-read as stored (changed)
in the Library file.
(Note; current implementation also "gives a base" to linked Group Objects,
to show them as Objects in the current Scene. Need that now for testing
purposes, but probably will be removed later).
-> Outliner
Outliner now shows Groups as optio too, nice to organize your data a bit too!
In General, Groups have a very good potential... for example, it could
become default for MetaBall Objects too (jiri, I can help you later on how
this works). All current 'layer relationships' in Blender should be dropped
in time, I guess...
(WIP, don't bugs for this in tracker yet please!)
- New Panel "Layers" in Material buttons, allows to add unlimited amount
of materials on top of each other.
- Every Layer is actually just another Material, which gets rendered/shaded
(including texture), and then added on top of previous layer with an
operation like Mix, Add, Mult, etc.
- Layers render fully independent, so bumpmaps are not passed on to next
layers.
- Per Layer you can set if it influences Diffuse, Specular or Alpha
- If a Material returns alpha (like from texture), the alpha value is
used for adding the layers too.
- New texture "Map To" channel allows to have a texture work on a Layer
- Each layer, including basis Material, can be turned on/off individually
Notes:
- at this moment, the full shading pass happens for each layer, including
shadow, AO and raytraced mirror or transparency...
- I had to remove old hacks from preview render, which corrected reflected
normals for preview texturing.
- still needs loadsa testing!
- raytracing code now uses cylinder-line intersect for strands. It used
to intersect with the screen-aligned strand quads, giving too many
misses for tracing.
Note; mirror for hair is still not well supported!
- added in Materials a choice for whether a material is Traceable for
raytracing or whether it is part of Shadow buffers. This way you can
exclude hair strands from raytracing, but still get shadowbuffers for it.
While investigating alternative filters (Mitchell), I found two small
errors in the Gauss code, it clipped wrong and multiplied wrong, causing
settings other than filter size 1.0 to not work properly.
Took the last-minute liberty to add more filter types in Blender too.
Also wrote an extensive log about how sampling & filtering in Blender
works.
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Samples_and_Filtering.723.0.html
replace the original one. so modifiers now work with them
(apply modifier, or edit mode still work on original mesh).
this should fix the three fluidsim bugs in the tracker.
- fixed stupid makesdna problem (writing "char string[160+80]" isnt
a good idea :)
- changed GUI a bit, now displays an estimate of the required memory,
there's still a problem with redrawing (currently relies on a call
to the derived mesh generation)
- the fluidsim struct changed to store the bounding box,
and the current loaded surface mesh
- temporary simulation files are now removed if env. var.
BLENDER_DELETEELBEEMFILES is not set or zero
- fluidsimSettingsFree now gets properly called when freeing an object
Hess.
In a comment on maillist I already mentioned a weird 0.5 in the code,
which I added to ensure correct rounding to integer frame numbers.
With a variable step size however, this won't work properly. You could
see it in the patch, because the ghost steps were animating.... they
should remain frozen, looks much nicer then. So I've added some fmod
voodoo here.
doc;
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Hair_Strand_Rendering.722.0.html
- added width control for strands
- made tangent (anisotropic) render an option
(so you can render strands more solid, like metal/wood)
Also:
- ALT+A anim playback with static particles made cursor flashing
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/New_Particle_options_a.721.0.html
There's no doubt this patch had a lot of good ideas for features, and I
want to compliment Janne again for getting it all to work even!
A more careful review of the features and code did show however quite some
flaws and bugs... partially because the current particle code was very much
polluted already, but also because of the implementation lacked quality.
However, the patch was too good to reject, so I've fixed and recoded the
parts that needed it most. :)
Here's a list of of most evident changes in the patch;
- Guides support recoded. It was implemented as a true 'force field',
checking all Curve path points for each particle to find the closest. Was
just far too slow, and didn't support looping or bends well.
The new implementation is fast (real time) and treats the paths as actual
trajectory for the particle.
- Guides didn't integrate in the physics/speed system either, was added as
exception. Now it's integrated and can be combined with other velocities
or forces
- Use of Fields was slow code in general, made it use a Cache instead.
- The "even" distribution didn't work for Jittered sample patterns.
- The "even" or "vertexgroup" code in the main loops were badly constructed,
giving too much cpu for a simple task. Instead of going over all faces
many times, it now only does it once.
Same part of the code used a lot of temporal unneeded mallocs.
- Use of DerivedMesh or Mesh was confused, didn't work for Subsurfs in all
cases
- Support for vertex groups was slow, evaluating vertexgroups too often
- When a vertexgroup failed to read, it was wrongly handled (set to zero).
VertexGroup support now is with a name.
- Split up the too huge build_particle() call in some parts (moving new code)
- The "texture re-timing" option failed for moving Objects. The old code used
the convention that particles were added with increasing time steps.
Solved by creating a object Matrix Cache.
Also: the texture coordinates had to be corrected to become "OrCo".
- The "Disp" option only was used to draw less particles. Changed it to
actually calculate fewer particles for 3D viewing, but render all still.
So now it can be used to keep editing realtime.
Removed;
The "speed threshold" and "Tight" features were not copied over. This
resembled too much to feature overkill. Needs re-evaluation.
Also the "Deform" option was not added, I prefer to first check if the
current particle system really works for the Modifier system.
And:
- Added integration for particle force fields in the dependency graph
- Added TAB completion for vertexgroup names!
- Made the 'wait cursor' only appear when particles take more than 0.5 sec
- The particle jitter table order now is randomized too, giving much
nicer emitting of particles in large faces.
- Vortex field didn't correctly use speed/forces, so it didn't work for
collisions.
- Triangle distribution was wrong
- Removed ancient bug that applied in a *very* weird way speed and forces.
(location changes got the half force, speed the full...???)
So much... might have forgotten some notes! :)
after chatting with Ton. I've commented out the old file
title safe conversion for now, so we can actually use it in
files worked on now. Have noted to remember to
uncomment it before the new version number bump.
(Screen handler is used now to trigger animated screen).
When files get saved with Verse_Blender, it has the verse handler set,
which causes the handler system to run without a means to disable it with
release versions of Blender. This patch disables the Verse Handler to be
set on reading files.
Jiri; you will have to uncomment this code when you sync it with your tree!
* Made the in-camera view dashed border lines less jarring
and disturbing. We will give it some testing here, feedback
is welcome.
* Showing the title safe zone is now an option in the
camera edit buttons. It's not very useful if you're not
making stuff for video/broadcast so you can turn it off.
* Passepartout is now a flag per camera, rather than per
scene. It never really belonged in the render buttons or as
Scene data, though it could be up for debate whether it's
better as camera data or view data (i.e. in the view
properties panel). Old files get converted over nicely with
this so if you had passepartout on before, it stays on the
cameras.
* Added an option to show the current camera's name at
the bottom of the in-camera view, to help keep track of
which one you're seeing when using multiple cameras.
* In the 3D View (non-camera view) the active camera is
drawn with a solid line as before, while non-active
cameras are drawn with a dashed line, to help visualise
which one is active.
other libraries local.
Also added some securities in the temporal 'sync pose' testing code. It now
asks with a menu to confirm the object to be replaced too. Later more!
In PoseMode, press Wkey or use the Pose pulldown menu. It calculates the
positions of all selected Bone end points, over the time as indicated with
the Scene start/end frame. This then is drawn as a path, with little black
dots on every frame, and a white dot on every 10 frames.
Paths are not saved in files, and not calculated automatic yet on changes.
To make this relative fast, but also reliable, I had to add a new method
in the Dependency graph system, to find exactly (and only) these parents
of an Object that influence its position. This is needed because the path
should show the actual global coordinates of the entire animation system.
The "Use VGroup" or "Use Envelope" options now are in Modifier Panel
for Armature deform.
If Modifiers are in use, they override the Armature settings for it.
(Cannot get rid of the Armature panel options yet, since Blender still
allows parenting to be deforming too, which is displayed as a Virtual
modifier now)
This now allows to - for example - make a Envelope deform on a Lattice,
and have same Armature use vertexgroups on Mesh.
Next; vertexgroup option for Lattice & Curve deform
- #2781, reported by Ed Blake: crash on undo when there were active space handlers. Space Handler script links belong to screen areas, which do not get saved on undo. Thanks Ton for pointing out the function that restores ui pointers gone bad.
- Applied patch #2822 by Ken Hughes for bug #2647 ("Setting a Face UV"), reported by Campbell Barton.
- #3022, reported by Timothy Wakeham: "Blender.BGL.glDrawPixels crashes when drawing more pixels then buffer size". Made glDrawPixels check buffer dimensions.
- #2882, reported by Campbell: crash in nmesh.getMaterials(arg == 0 or 1) when nmesh came from GetRawFromMesh(). Raw nmeshes are not linked to Blender meshes, so the method doesn't support these options (getting mat info from the actual mesh) for it.
- #2817, reported by Tod Koeckeritz: Dir_Depth var was not being decremented in BPY_Menus.c, causing dir depth limits to be reached prematurely.
- #2954, reported by Daniel Holtz: "Python scripts crash hard with valid windows paths". Blender.Load() was not meant for background mode, now it's been update to support it, using BKE_read_file instead of BIF_read_file in this case. Also found another issue with command line scripts using Blender.Load() that could crash Blender: trying to free the Text when it wasn't available anymore (loading a new .blend already removed it). There are still issues with one case, though, causing a crash on start or "Memoryblock winopen: double free" at end, when running a script that is already a Blender Text (only if the script calls Blender.Load, of course). Will investigate.
- #2897: reported by Timothy Wakeham: object.setMaterials was asking the length of a Python list w/o confirming first if the passed obj was really a list.
Thanks all for the help and for being patient (long delay, again).
First note that this is new functionality, unfinished, and only for
testing and feedback purposes. I'll list below what works, and what will
need work still.
This text is also in cms: http://www.blender.org/cms/Ipo_Drivers.680.0.html
An IpoDriver is like an IpoCurve, but instead of a Bezier curve, it allows
to connect a property of other Objects as input for the "channel". For
example, IpoDrivers can be used to have a Shape Key being "driven" by
the rotation of a Bone. Or the RGB colors of a Material get driven by the
XYZ location of an Object.
Editing of Drivers happens in the IpoWindow. Here you can notice that the
channels (right hand window) now have an "active" channel indicator.
To add a Driver, you have to use the "Transform Properties" Panel (Nkey).
Here you can add or remove a Driver to the active channel, and use the
buttons to fill in what kind of relationship you want to establish.
Driver Objects
Note that any Ipo Channel can become driven now, but that only Object
transformation or Pose Bone transformation can be used to become a
Driver now.
At this moment, only the local transformation is taken into account.
For Objects that means the location/rotation/scale value without Parent
transform (as shown in "Transform Properties" Panel for Objects).
For Pose Bones it means that only the Pose transform (changes of rest
position) is Driver information (also as shown in Transform Property
Panel in Pose Mode).
Mapping of Drivers
When an Ipo Channel is "driven", the mapping is by default one-to-one.
It is only restricted by already built-in limits for Channels, like
for Material the "R" value can only range from 0.0 to 1.0.
Also note that when mapping rotations, the actual rotation values
in Ipos are scaled down with a factor 10.0. (180 degrees actually has
in the Ipo system a value of 18.0). This is an ancient year zero
convention in Blender... it is a bit hidden, because the ruler
(vertical as well as horizontal) displays the virtual values correctly.
Only the Properties panel shows the actual value.
When you draw an IpoCurve in a Driven channel, this curve will define
the mapping between the Driver output (horizontal) and Driven input
(vertical, as usual).
A nice new option to use is "Insert one-to-one curve" (press I-key,
or in pulldown menu). This will also zoom the display in exactly to
fill the window, allowing easy edit. If you use this option with
degrees, it will map 180 degree rotation to a range of 1.0 unit.
Live updates
Since the Drivers are integrated in the Ipo system, they will always
be updated whenever an Ipo is evaluated. This happens at least on
frame changes.
For interactive feedback, updates while transforming objects were
added in these cases:
- Driven Object Ipos, by other Objects or Pose Bones
- Driven Shape Key Ipos, by other Objects or Pose Bones
You can also insert Drivers on Action Ipos, but these are only evaluated
on frame change now.
Todo
- Drivers can also get a text button, allowing a 1 line Python script
to be executed.
- Make UI for it a bit less hidden... maybe with visualization in 3D?
- Allowing global transform coordinates as Driver too.
Issues
- renaming Bones won't rename drivers
- (file) appending the Ipo won't append the linked driver Objects
