claened up sbObjectStep(...) to follow 'time step rules'
added really care for framerate in scene
renamed arguments in softbody_calc_forces(...); and softbody_apply_forces(...); for better reading
fixed particle integration to be ODE solver compatible
- Added new (Particle) Deflector; type Wind.
Wind gives constant directional force. It is animatable (Ipos) and reacts
to Object scaling. Also uses FallOff. Works for particles and SoftBody
quick movie check; http://www.blender.org/bf/0001_0250.avi
test file is in download.blender.org/demo/test/wind_soft.blend
- Added MaxDist option for forcefields, to control its influence better.
Is drawn as circle in 3d window.
Forcefields are a bit weak still... should react to scaling, or not; in
that case drawing should indicate it (done for spherical field now).
- removed displistmesh_from_{mesh,editmesh}
- removed EditVert.ssco
- removed unused functions for DispListMesh DerivedMesh
Still need lots more testing for this stuff.
- removed ME_CCG_SUBSURF define
- dropped CCGSubSurf from editing menu... subsurf is always
CCG now.
NOTE: If you saved a file with CCGSubSurf set on the button
will show up blank (will still work as a subsurf). Just change
type back to Catmull-Clark.
Wave bye-bye to HyperMesh...
before it would follow subsurf code path by creating fake displistmesh,
etc... kinda fun for testing but just annoying now.
- change to creasing behavior, to make sure that with full creasing effect
is just simple subdivision.
is fast, but can be rather tedious to work with...)
- vertex normals for smooth faces draw correctly now... this code also
switched to drawing with GL_QUAD_STRIP which can be quite a bit faster
(depends how fast graphics card calcs lighting, I get 50% faster here)
- on add new SoftBody, it creates automatically edges in Mesh now, gives
too confusing results otherwise
- if no edges exist in mesh, it also doesnt add diagonals for faces in
softbody
Transform;
- fixed stupid 'used unitialized' gcc warning (sorry theeth!)
- made dualAxisConstraint() accept string too
- little cleanup of prints in using Manipulators
- Added Softbody effect for Lattices (not too useful yet without
vertexgroups though)
- Added default vertex "goal" value + button, to be assigned when no
vertexgroup exists (or vertex isn't in the group)
- Made softmin and softmax work as documented (defining min and max range)
- made changes in buttons send 'update' signal to softbody
And:
- added Nkey Properties to show lattice coordinates
User level notes are in Wiki here;
http://wiki.blender.org/bin/view.pl/Blenderdev/Softbodies
And will be added in blender3d.org CMS later.
Tech level notes are still pending, but here's the most relevant ones;
- made ob->soft struct SoftBody to hold all settings, and read/save in
files
- added (temporal!) conversion for the old settings. So: read old files
with softbody experiments now, and save over!
- cleaned API calls for softbody, which are only 5 of them now:
sbNew()
sbFree()
sbObjectStep() (animation steps)
sbObjectToSoftbody() (full re-initialize data)
sbObjectReset() (only reset motion)
- API calls accepts time in frames now, within softbody.c it converts
Further, internally code was cleaned some (missing tabs etc). Also tried
to keep a well defined structure with hints how to add support for more
objects. Can write notes about that...
- added G.editMesh->derived pointer... idea is to use this
for mesh derived from editmesh instead of Mesh->derived (as the
derived mesh tends to vary depending on what it came from).
This part could be cleaner, also there may problems with it not
being invalidated correctly.
- And most importantly: In case people were beginning to worry all
these edits were just crazy zr stuff, the big point comes about:
Incremental subsurf calculation is now enabled. This gives massive
speed improvements when editing a large mesh.
For the eye-candy happy: try setting G.rt==52 before entering editmode
and the edges and vertices (in optimal mode) will switch to displaying
visually the age since a region has last been calculated. Lots of
fun!
overrated. Turns out there was a bug in recalc code where
in editmode mesh was getting reevaluated all the time (because
ob->disp doesn't get built in editmode). This should fix.
- Fix some normal calculation/backwards face drawing
DerivedMesh implementation of CCGSubSurf. Only used in editmode at
the moment, and does not draw smooth normals correctly.
- Just in its own this brings a rather large speedup for editing
subsurfs.
to determine if element should be drawn and to set draw options),
which meant some could be combined - eases implementation of new
DerivedMesh types and keeps more app specific logic out of DerivedMesh
implementations.
- removed DL_MESH displist type!!!! Now store a DerivedMesh directly.
- May still be some issues left having to do with releasing this
at the right time (old code just splashed free_displist all
over the place).
- switched drawmesh.c to use new functions
- WHEE! This is last such function that has to be written for the time
being, and also effectively marks the end of DL_MESH! DispListMesh still
hangs around as a kind of interchange format but should also die once
DerivedMesh provides more intimate mesh access.
DL_MESH (the displist type for DispListMesh) is still used to hold
the DispListMesh, but that will die as soon as new subsurf switches to
using a bonafide DerivedMesh implementation. There is also one silly
usage for the decimator that is easy to kill.
- Oh, and I also made potatoe mode draw mesh vertex colors - seemed to
be more uniform behavior.
- cancelled previous commit to add RE_findTFAce, instead just added
a MemArena to render struct... free'd at end of render, can be used
to store other data as well
- switch rendering to using DerivedMesh API... this is slightly more
inefficient now because it is doing some unnecessary copying. Can
be fixed by defining a DerivedMesh function to convert the object
into a render object (on todo list)
