* Replaced the hard coded viscosity presets with Python ones.
* Added version check, so older files load fine.
Loading new files into 2.62 also works fine.
Not all file formats/calls are supported yet. It will be expended.
Please from now on use BLI_fopen, BLI_* for file manipulations.
For non-windows systems BLI_fopen just calls fopen.
For Windows, the utf-8 string is translated to utf-16 string in order to call UTF version of the function.
This was a request by Daniel Salazar. It adds a new frame offset variable to fluid sim settings, which can be used to display baked fluid sims at different times. Eventually this could be replaced by real NLA strips for cached data, but until then this is a simple way to have more flexible cache result usage.
Not strictly a BCon3 patch, but after IRC discussion with Genscher, ZanQdo and kaito decided to commit it anyway, since it's a small feature and makes fluid sim a bit more usable. Similar patch for point cache (particles, smoke, cloth) is being worked on as well.
This commit restores support for freezing or speeding up physics sims. Animate
the "Speed" parameter under Domain->Time, which controls a multiplier factor for
the rate at which the sim proceeds (i.e. the old "Fac-Tim" setting).
Notes:
* Subversion bumped to 4 to patch up defaults for new value so that old sim
files will still run correctly
* Names/descriptions could do with some tweaking
* Porting this across was not that obvious since quite a bit of stuff had
changed (as in, been cleaned up). However, from tests so far, it seems to work
well.
- curve map insert point had a nested loop which used the same value to index different arrays.
- dynamic paint used ternary operator where both outcomes were the same.
* Fluid compilation: Inverse the compile flag from DISABLE_ELBEEM to WITH_MOD_FLUID for consistency. (scons/cmake)
* Use WITH_BF_FLUID in your user config (scons)
* Add support for scons to disable build with Decimate and Boolean modifier.
(WITH_BF_DECIMATE and WITH_BF_BOOLEAN)
a) Enable the possibility to remove the "air bubble" around submerged collision object. This feature is enabled as standard for new files. The code was found in elbeem by nudelZ, coded and provided by Nils Thürey (thanks!)
b) Old baked files gets deleted if a new bake gets started (were overwritten before and resulted in weird old bake + new bake mixture) (idea by nudelZ)
The main purpose for this is to allow rendering motion blurred blender fluids in external renderers (eg. http://vimeo.com/21870635 ).
Python code snippet for interpreting this data here: http://www.pasteall.org/21577 . Cleaned up some ugly hacks in this area too
* Also added read-only access to scene.subframe to RNA - setting current frame and subframe should still go via scene.frame_set()
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
* In some rare cases gzread has problems with the fluid files. This could be minor file corruption or some strange thread issue, but checking the amount of read bytes always after read seems to give a graceful way out.
