User side:
* Preview for DynamicPaint should keep the same behavior (for now). Weight preview should be somawhat quicker, though.
* Preview for WeightVG modifiers is only active in WeightPaint mode, and if the affected vgroup is the active one.
* Last active preview modifier in stack wins!
Note: that modifier preview topic is yet to be further refined, quite raw/incomplete for now.
Dev side:
* In draw code, renamed DRAW_DYNAMIC_PAINT_PREVIEW flag to DRAW_MODIFIERS_PREVIEW
* Removed use of MOD_DPAINT_PREVIEW_READY in DynamicPaint code (seems unecessary, and if it was, should be of more general scope).
* Added eModifierTypeFlag_UsesPreview to ModifierTypeFlag, for modifiers that can generate some preview data.
* Added three new modifier funcs, to handle preview modifiers in draw code / mod stack.
* For weights preview: added the generic DM_update_weight_mcol func, which can update WEIGHT_MCOL layer with either a given array of weights (currently used by DynamicPaint only), or from current active vgroup(s).
So now, draw code is fully generic (i.e. no more modifier-type checking in it). Mod stack code is generic to some extent, but will need more work.
Also, allow applying to obdata those modifiers, even with shapekeys, but do not allow applying them *as* shapekey (as shapekeys do not have CD layers).
Fix [#29636] Vertex Weight Mix modifier "apply" button don't work.
Note: applying whit shape keys currently always uses base shape, not current one (for apply to obdata as well as apply to shapekey), but this is another topic...
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- modifier code was using sizeof() without knowing the sizeof the array when clearing the modifier type array.
- use BLI_snprintf rather then sprintf where the size of the string is known.
- particle drawing code kept a reference to stack float values (not a problem at the moment but would crash if accessed later).
An operator Error throws up a menu, a Warning only a flashy header print.
In mesh editmode the menus for simple failures got very annoying, like
"Already a face" for Fkey on a face.
Proposal is to use warning for contextual failures, like:
- wrong selection
- unsupported combination
- wrong modes
And use errors for cases you really need user attention, for example when
issues are invisble or potentially damaging work.
- Memory failures
- Files not found
List can grow in future :) let's test this for mesh now.
I'll tackle this for other ops later after review.
(Also changed: loopcut disabled when editmode shows deformed result)
Fixed bug #23657, "Modifiers dosen't work when you select diffrent mesh for object"
Multires modifier now adds empty mdisps if they're missing, rather than displaying a warning
Switching an object's mesh will now check for a multires modifier; if found the modifier's total number of levels are reset to match the mesh's mdisps
Switching the mesh also forces a multires update so that sculpted changes aren't lost
Previously all modifier operators relied on the buttons layout data context pointer to
decide which modifier to work on. This meant that these operators would only work
from from the properties panel, and not from scripting/macros or for operator redo.
This commit makes all modifier operators take the modifier name as an operator
property, so the operators can be re-done or executed outside of the modifier panel.
When invoking the operators from the modifier panel, they automatically fill in the
operator property from context.
This isn't a perfect API design, but it does bring these operators in line with the design
of being able to access all UI functionality via other means like scripts.
patch by Ben Batt (artificer)
Updated patch for 6 or so modifiers added since the patch was written.
- tested with CMake and SCons
- fixed one error were flags were being added to the fluids type.
- remove BKE_simple_deform.h, simple_deform.c, move functions into MOD_simpledeform.c since there were problems with circular deps.
- moved some fluid and boolean functions used by modifiers too.
- vertex normals were not being flipped (though faces are)
- rim faces didnt influence edge vertex normals
apply solidify on top of solidify modifier now works correctly
- convert solidify edge crease values into chars once rather then for each edge.
- sort vertex was checking the array all the time when it wasnt needed.
* The new default particle size is quite small, so exploded pieces didn't match the original pieces
* There's now an option to use the particle size (useful for some effects), but it isn't used by default
* This commit will change how some old files look (explode modifier and not 1.0 particle size), but the exact old behavior is achieved with the new "size" option
* Some cases of struct name being set where it shouldnt have been.
* Spelling: wich --> which
* Copy and initialize uv modifier scale, remove unneeded enum.
* Ability to pin any object into the context.
* Update uv window while transforming (useful when used with UVProject modifier)
* Patch by Wahooney, so new template's are internal text and dont get saved over
by mistake.
* Fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572186

to specify different spring lengths.
Implementation is quite ugly because the shape key has to be pulled
through the modifier stack somehow, need a more flexible data mask
system to solve this properly.
(commits 27773,27775,27778 by Brecht from render25 branch)
flip the closing edge so when applied a second time it doesnt flip the closing ring of faces. (means you can make a torus from 1 vertex and 2 modifiers)
