- Mirrored painting and radial symmetry, like in sculpt mode.
- Volume based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices far away from the 3D brush location.
- Normal based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices with normals opposite the normal
at the 3D brush location.
- Blur mode now uses a nearest neighbor average.
- Average mode, which averages the color/weight
of the vertices within the brush
- Smudge mode, which pulls the colors/weights
along the direction of the brush
- RGB^2 color blending, which gives a more accurate
blend between two colors
- multithreading support. (PBVH leaves are painted in parallel.)
- Foreground/background color picker in vertex paint
There was some invalid state in the screen here, some areas had
sa->full set even though no screen was maximized, which then caused
a restore from the wrong (empty) area, which then led to spacedata
being empty and a crash.
This fix properly clears the sa->full after restore, and also fixes
existing .blend files in such an invalid state.
This situation happens when a file with a text effect sequencer strip is
loaded in Blender < 2.76 and saved. This destroys the effect data, causing
a crash in Blender ≥ 2.76.
d2f748a222 prevented the crash when opening such a file, but accessing
the strip still caused a crash. This commit fixes that by actually
initialising the invalid strip. Of course this still causes data loss, but
that already happened by opening & overwriting the file in Blender < 2.76.
Root of the issue here was that two stupid modifiers could create named
vgroup CD layers (vgroup editing ones... shame on me :") ).
Fix that, and added some versionning code to also fix 'corrupted' blend
files created by those so far.
Previously, every RenderPass would have a bitfield that specified its type. That limits the number of passes to 32, which was reached a while ago.
However, most of the code already supported arbitrary RenderPasses since they were also used to store Multilayer EXR images.
Therefore, this commit completely removes the passflag from RenderPass and changes all code to use the unique pass name for identification.
Since Blender Internal relies on hardcoded passes and to preserve compatibility, 32 pass names are reserved for the old hardcoded passes.
To support these arbitrary passes, the Render Result compositor node now adds dynamic sockets. For compatibility, the old hardcoded sockets are always stored and just hidden when the corresponding pass isn't available.
To use these changes, the Render Engine API now includes a function that allows render engines to add arbitrary passes to the render result. To be able to add options for these passes, addons can now add their own properties to SceneRenderLayers.
To keep the compositor input node updated, render engine plugins have to implement a callback that registers all the passes that will be generated.
From a user perspective, nothing should change with this commit.

This slightly changes SDef behavior, by now respecting object transforms
at bind time, thus not requiring the objects to be aligned in their
respective local spaces, but instead using world space.
Please never, ever use same DNA var for two different things. Even worse
if they do not have same type and ranges!
This is only ensuring issues (as described in report, but also if
animating both RNA props using same DNA var... yuck).
And we were not even saving any byte in DNA, could reuse some padding
there to store the two new needed vars (yes, two, since we cannot re-use
existing one if we want to keep backward *and* forward compatibility).
We are not bumping file version, but we cannot have the doversion code running twice.
In this particular case it was crashing files, since we were setting node->storage to NULL, and later on accessing it.
This is much more flexible solution which will allow doing some
more procedural features.

New options to define the style of the animation paths in order to get
better visibility in complex scenes.
Now is possible define the color, thickness and several options relative
to the style of the lines used to draw motion path.
This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
'1' threshold value would only allow to access a third of the basic
'color space' (from black to white, from 0.0 to 1.0 component values),
when you expect it to access the whole range.
Unfortunately, this needs a subversion bump to allow already defined
brushes to keep exact same behavior!
Also, did not change default value (0.2) for new brushes, think here
keeping current one makes more sense.
Thanks to @LucaRood for confirming the issue.
This should make it easier to sculpt in high resolutions, downside is that the new way to calculate maximum edge length is a bit less intuitive. Maximum edge length used to be calculated as blender_unit * percentage_value, now it's blender_unit / value.
Reused old DNA struct member, but had to bump subversion to ensure correct compatibility conversion. Also changed default value slightly (would have had to set to 3.333... otherwise).
Was Requested by @monio (see https://rightclickselect.com/p/sculpting/zpbbbc/dyntopo-better-scale-input-in-constant-detail-mode) and I think it's worth testing.
Bullet spring constraint already supports rotational springs, but
they are not exposed in blender UI, likely due to a simple oversight.
Supporting them is as simple as adding a few DNA/RNA properties
with appropriate UI and passing them on to Bullet.

the issue was caused by wrong default value for brush particle count
which was clamped on display from 0 to 1. This is technically a regression
but how to port this to 2.78a?
WARNING! Full build is broken, alembic has not been merged in correctly and has some references to particle stuff.
Don't have time to tackle this now (and probably would be better if someone knowing what he's doing does it anyway).

Current approach uses view aligned slicing to generate polygons for GL
texturing such that the generated polygons are always facing the view
plane. Now it is also possible to use object aligned slicing, which
creates polygons by slicing the object perpendicular to whichever axis
is facing the most the view plane. It is also possible to create a
single slice for inspecting the volume, or for 2D rendering effects.
Settings for this, along with a density multiplier setting, are to be
found in a newly added "Smoke Display Settings" panel in the smoke
domain properties tab.

This patch changes a couple of things in the video output encoding.
{F362527}
- Clearer separation between container and codec. No more "format", as this is
too ambiguous. As a result, codecs were removed from the container list.
- Added FFmpeg speed presets, so the user can choosen from the range "Very
slow" to "Ultra fast". By default no preset is used.
- Added Constant Rate Factor (CRF) mode, which allows changing the bit-rate
depending on the desired quality and the input. This generally produces the
best quality videos, at the expense of not knowing the exact bit-rate and
file size.
- Added optional maximum of non-B-frames between B-frames (`max_b_frames`).
- Presets were adjusted for these changes, and new presets added. One of the
new presets is [recommended](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VFX#H.264)
for reviewing videos, as it allows players to scrub through it easily. Might
be nice in weeklies. This preset also requires control over the
`max_b_frames` setting.
GUI-only changes:
- Renamed "MPEG" in the output file format menu with "FFmpeg", as this is more
accurate. After all, FFmpeg is used when this option is chosen, which can
also output non-MPEG files.
- Certain parts of the GUI are disabled when not in use:
- bit rate options are not used when a constant rate factor is given.
- audio bitrate & volume are not used when no audio is exported.
Note that I did not touch `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`. There are currently two
preset systems for FFmpeg (`BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()` and the Python preset
system). Before we do more work on `BKE_ffmpeg_preset_set()`, I think it's a
good idea to determine whether we want to keep it at all.
After this patch has been accepted, I'd be happy to go through the code and
remove any then-obsolete bits, such as the handling of "XVID" as a container
format.
