View3D has been split now in a local part (RegionView3D) and a
per-area part (old View3D). Currently local is:
- view transform
- camera zoom/offset
- gpencil (todo)
- custom clipping planes
Rest is in Area still, like active camera, draw type, layers,
localview, custom centers, around-settings, transform widget,
gridlines, and so on (mostly stuff as available in header).
To see it work; also added new feature for region split,
press SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+S for four-split.
The idea is to make a preset 4-split, configured to stick
to top/right/front views for three views.
Another cool idea to explore is to then box-clip all drawing
based on these 3 views.
Note about the code:
- currently view3d still stores some depricated settings, to
convert from older files. Not all settings are copied over
though, like custom clip planes or the 'lock view to object'.
- since some view3d ops are now on area level, the operators
for it should keep track of that.
Bugfix in transform: quat initialize in operator-invoke missed
one zero.
Als brought back GE to compile for missing Ipos and channels.
* Added more compact property definitions, with a single function.
Only used by operators at the moment, would need to tweak regular
expressions a bit more to use it also for other RNA definitions.
* The operator properties defined now were completed a bit more but
still have many issues that need to be adressed, specifically;
* Some properties that should be booleans or enums are defined as
ints, note that ints are only for numeric values, not bitflags
or multiple choice.
* Soft/hard limits and default values of many properties are not
well defined still,
* Inconsistent naming, especially for example mouse locations or
bounds are named differently in different places. Also mouse
locations and other vector like properties should become a single
vector property instead of multiple X/Y properties.
* Almost no properties have descriptions, these would be good to
have for docs and tooltips.
So, please verify that the properties of the operators you wrote are
well defined.
- Depricated another bunch of globals; all the totobj,
totmesh, totvert, and so on.
- All code that needs such totals now count it themselves,
these stats were not supposed to be reliable
- Editmesh now stores and manages own totals.
- Todo: make a scene->stats that tracks notifiers.
Bugfix: selecting failed in editmesh, backbuffer stuff was
too late, already using index ranges before it was set.
soc-2008-nicholasbishop branch.
Note: any old code with multires_test() or multires_level1_test() can
just be deleted, not needed by the multires modifier.
Think global, act local!
The old favorite G.scene gone! Man... that took almost 2 days.
Also removed G.curscreen and G.edbo.
Not everything could get solved; here's some notes.
- modifiers now store current scene in ModifierData. This is not
meant for permanent, but it can probably stick there until we
cleaned the anim system and depsgraph to cope better with
timing issues.
- Game engine G.scene should become an argument for staring it.
Didn't solve this yet.
- Texture nodes should get scene cfra, but the current implementation
is too tightly wrapped to do it easily.
From the anti-globalization department:
G.obedit terminated!
Wherever possible, use CTX_data_edit_object(C) to get this
now. It's stored in scene now, and the screen context has
it defined.
- Edit mode Mesh undo/redo back
(undo for editmodes needed recode, todo for curve/lattice/etc)
- Added border select for edit mesh
- Added Akey (de)select all for edit mesh
- Added notifiers for mode changes.
This is also the first trial to dynamically add/remove
keymap handlers, based on modes. For that reason the Object
keymap was split in 2, modal and non-modal. On TABkey, the
view3d listener removes and adds maps.
The view3d keymap still handles generic mouse/border selection.
Internally it will verify modes.
The modes are not re-implemented still... have to move this
to scene context.
So, editmode mesh is back! :)
At the moment only TABkey works and mouse select, 1 vertex at a
time. More will follow of course.
Note for the devs:
- G.editMesh has been removed, be careful with old code.
- EditMesh now is property of Mesh itself
Although it means unlimited editmodes, for migration purposes we
better stick to 1 "obedit" per scene, which is in Context too
- G.obedit will get removed soon, so use CTX_data_edit_object(C)
Or if you can't, just scene->obedit for now
- Also removed the CTX_data_edit_mesh(), this has no meaning
anymore. EditMesh is not context senstitive anymore, only the
edit-object for time being is.
- Martin: I've already tucked some EditMesh pointer in T and
removed all G.editMesh there.
EditMesh: further cleanup, made derivedmesh itterator functions
work by gathering all related data in local ViewContext struct.
(scene, editmesh, region, view3d, obedit).
Also removed bad inclusion of view3d_intern.h in mesh module.
Editmesh code cleaned and compiling/linking. A whopping
20k lines back! :)
Not that it does stuff... editmode in/out has to be done,
and loads of operators. Also linking/exporting editmesh
calls has to be reviewed.
Also: added a blender_test_break() mechanism in BKE.
