- pass string size to BLI_timestr() to avoid possible buffer overrun.
- quiet warning for mingw.
- include guards for windows utf conversion funcs.
- fix for mistage in edge-angle-selection check.
- some style cleanup.
This keeps old behavior and could be nice. However, it'll
make compositing slower (doing final compo after editing
tree). This is easy to hide preview in this case, and also
i hope to implement percentage rendering soon.
This commit simply implements mapping from centered cropped canvas
to a full-frame coordinates, so operations like alpha-overing render
result on top of image will be properly aligned.
Make it so compositor output node wouldn't be calculated
when Render Result image is not visible on the screen.
This makes compositor tree editing more friendly and
faster.
Also, if there's no viewer image visible on the screen
viewer nodes wouldn't be handled.
Final rendering keeps unchanged for now.
This solves issues when for performance artists are
disconnecting compo output node before tweaking values
in compositor and forgets to attach compo output
node before sending file to the farm.
This makes compositing as fast as it's possible in this case.
The only thing is border render+crop will still give funcy
results. This is the next thing to be solved in compositor.
Pretty much straightforward change, made in the same way as
texture input node.
Shall not be any regressions or crashes when mixing usage
of 2.66 and current trunk.
PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

This node and operations are not useful in background mode anyway,
but calculating them could be really time-consuming especially
when working on 4K frames.
This will print memory usage, mapped memory usage, memory peak,
compositing tree name and number of finished tiles to stdout
when blender is rendering in background mode.
This makes compositor a less blackbox and should help trouble
shooting issues happening during 4K ToS project.
Issue was caused by calling ensureDelta from initexecution, which will
read pixels from an input and it could read from non-initialized
operations.
Issue was originally introduced in svn rev54235 which added ensureDelta
to translate's initExecution, but since rev54349 this call seems to be
doing nothing.
Issue was caused by the fix for #33650 which changed way to check whether
operation resolution is set or not from checking dimensions are zero to
setResolution was ever called.
Such change lead to conflict with MixBase operation (used for Mix node) which
uses temporary zero resolution to check whether input socket resolution is
known. This leads to zero resolution setting to that branch of tree. After this
resolution will never set to it's actual value.
For now solved by changing logic how MixBase operation detects resolution.
Namely instead of using trick with temporary zero resolution and calling
determineResolution for all inputs, and then call base class's method to
determine resolution just once again, check whether input socket is connected
and if so use it's resolution.
Shall not be regressions for real-life trees, but keeping an eye on this and
doing more tests is for sure welcome.
Viewer operations shall be aware of border as well, otherwise
CPU would be busy for a while full compo isn't done for just
a small preview image in a node.
This adds border option to compositor, which affects on
a backdrop and viewer nodes, which is useful for faster
previews and tweaks.
Final compositing still happens for the whole frame, but
if it'll be needed it's not so difficult to support it
as well.
To use border there's Ctrl-B shortcut in the compositor
editor, which i used to define region you want to restrict
compositing to. There's also "Viewer Border" option in
the N-panel in case you'll want to disable border
compositing.
Some areas could be cleaned a bit, like ideally it shall
not be viewer image clearing in viewer_border_update RNA
callback, but currently it's not so much clear how to
make it the same fast as simple memset and glue it
somehow to compositor. Will think of nicer solution a
bit later.
Made Texture compositor input node single-threaded since
texture trees are not thread-safe.
Also fixed texture being flipped horizontally and vertically.
Why nobody noticed this for 3 releases already??
Added compatibility option "Straight Alpha Output" to image input node
When this option is enabled, image input node will convert float buffer
to straight alpha.
This is not what you'll usually want with new alpha pipeline, nit this
is needed to preserve compatibility with older files saved in 2.65.
In that version byte image are resulting with straight alpha passing
to the compositor and alpha-overing required extra premultiplication
of inputs.
So, that's why Straight Alpha Output is needed -- it's set in versioning
code for byte node images so they'll still output straight alpha.
This option is currently only available in N-panel.
Additional change: added Alpha Mode for image input node to N-panel.
Calculate dependent area based on distortion model rather than
using 15% of image resolution for this.
Some assumptions here:
- We're assuming real-life camera calibration is used here
- Maximal undistortion delta would be achieved on frame boundary
- Distortion fully goes inside frame
This makes it possible to approximate margin for distortion by
checking undistortion delta across frame boundary and use it
for dependent area of interest.
We do not use any formula-based equation here because we're likely
support other distortion models and in that case it'll be stupid
to try detecting formula here.
* added area of interest based on a radius around the input tile.
If someone can implement a correct formula (based on K1, K2 and K3) and send it to me, I will be happy to apply it!
- At Mind -
Justa cluster did not have enough memory to handle all Mango 4k scenes.
Option is default disabled and can be enabled in the performance panel.
- At Mind -
is straight or not (premultiplied is default).
This is useful in cases when you want to check on output of such nodes
as keying which does have straight alpha output.
Also added missing do_version code to previous compo do_versions.
makes it possible to specify an offset relative to the render resolution (so 0.5
is half the image rather than giving the number of pixels). It's a bit late but
it's a trivial change and needed for 4k mango render.
Added additional buffers - new subtree - for groupnodes.
One needs to be aware of how groupnodes should be created.
Having translate & scale nodes, with the translate inside the groupnode and the scale node outside, causes artefacts.
Both should be inside or outside the groupnode. Same holds for other distort nodes.
This modules does not depend on any blender-specific data
structures or algorithms and due to our policy better be
placed to intern/
Shall be no functional changes, tested CMake and SCons on
Linux, hopefully other platforms will work as well.
P.S. SVN history shall be preserved for the files.
