- UV's were not being calculated if there were too many VColor layers.
- precalc (omd->size * omd->spatial_size) was being called in a loop.
- use vector functions to avoid pointer indrections on each access which the compiler wont optimize - eg: och->ibufs_disp[f]->rect_float[4*(res_x*j + i) + 1]
- dont call abs() on ints (converts to double and back to int in this case).
also unrelated render buttons change. move saving options directly under the file path since these were easy to confuse with image format options like zbuf, ycc, preview.. etc.
of copy/paste functionality. Instead of making a copy of the active
line set, now the settings of the active line set are copied to and
pasted from a buffer. This allows for copying and pasting line set
settings among different scenes and render layers.
that produces a blueprint using circular, elliptic, and square contour strokes.
Related changes and bug fixes were made as follows:
* The randomness in radius and center has been transformed into optional
parameters of the pyBluePrintCirclesShader and pyBluePrintEllipsesShader.
Also a new optional parameter to control the randomness of backbone
stretching has been added to the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
* A bug in the pyBluePrintSquaresShader that invisible stroke vertices at
corners of rectangular contour strokes were not properly drawn. The problem
was due to the changes of the / operator between Python 2.x to 3.x. Even
when the two operands of the division operator are integers, Python 3.x
gives a floating-point number when the quotient is not an integer. The fix
was just to replace the / operator by the // operator for integer division.
* An unpleasant discontinuity in circular and elliptical contour strokes
was fixed.
* The length parameter of the Backbone Stretcher geometry modifier has been
renamed to `backbone_length' in line with the parameter of the same name in
the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
In the Parameter Editor mode, each edge type check button in the Selection
by Edge Types has now an associated toggle button to exclude the edge type
from the feature edge selection. This allows you to select, for instance,
those edges that are silhouette lines but not external contours.
New "face marks" and "edge marks" have been introduced in mesh data
blocks. In the edit mode of a mesh object, face marks can be put
to selected faces by choosing Mesh >> Faces >> Mark Freestyle Face
from the menu of a 3D View window or Ctrl-F >> Mark Freestyle Face
from the context menu. Similarly, edge marks can be put to selected
edges by Mesh >> Edges >> Mark Freestyle Edge or Ctrl-E >> Mark
Freestyle Edge. These marks should work fine with the Subdivision
surface modifier.
Moreover, two new conditions for feature edge selection have been
added to the Parameter Editor mode as described below:
1. The Selection by Edge Types option has now the new Edge Mark type,
which can be used to (de)select feature edges having edge marks.
This option can be used to add to (or remove from) the view map
arbitrary edges of mesh objects.
2. Selection by Face Marks option has been newly introduced, in which
face marks are used for feature edge selection in two ways. One
option is called "One Face" which is to (de)select feature edges if
one of faces on the left and right of each feature edge has a face
mark. The other option is "Both Faces" to (de)select feature edges
if both faces on the left and right have a face mark.
New there are only two chaining types: plain and sketchy. Both chaining types
have the "same object" option. With this option enabled, only feature edges of
the same object are chained. The sketchy chaining also has the "rounds" option
to specify the number of rounds in a sketchy multiple touch.
Also removed a temporary workaround (implemented by means of a custom chaining
rule) for infinite straight lines, which has resulted in much cleaner strokes.
The default chaining option is now called "Natural", while the new chaining options
are "Sketchy: Topology Preserved" and "Sketchy: Topology broken". The latter two
options allow for generating chains of feature edges with a sketchy multiple touch.
The "Sketchy: Topology Preserved" option takes account of the topology of objects
in the view map, while the "Sketchy: Topology broken" ignores the edge topology.
The "rounds" option specifies the number of rounds in sketchy strokes.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.

Added a set of stroke geometry modifiers to the Geometry tab of line styles
in the Parameter Editor mode. Now the following stroke geometry modifiers are
available, each with a set of animateable parameters:
- Sampling: changes the resolution of stroke backbone polylines.
- Bezier Curve: replace stroke backbone with a Bezier approximation of the
stroke backbone.
- Sinus Displacement: add sinus displacement to stroke backbone.
- Spatial Noise: add spatial noise to stroke backbone.
- Perlin Noise 1D: add one-dimensional Perlin noise to stroke backbone.
- Perlin Noise 2D: add two-dimensional Perlin noise to stroke backbone.
- Backbone Stretcher: stretch the beginning and the end of strokes.
- Tip Remover: remove a piece of stroke at the beginning and the end of strokes.
To branch users: When you have a .blend file with Freestyle options specified,
you may want to add a Sampling modifier with the 'sampling' value set to 5.
This value specifies a resolution of polylines for line drawing in Freestyle.
If no sampling modifier is specified, your line drawing will result in coarse
polylines. Before geometry modifiers were introduced, this initial sampling
was automatically done. Now the initial sampling is a tunable parameter that
can be omitted, allowing better control on polyline resolution.
Implemented basic audio animation.
* AnimatableProperty: Propper cache writing and spline interpolation for reading (the solution for stair steps in audio animation)
* Animatable properties so far are: volume, pitch, panning
* Users note: Changing the pitch of a sound results in wrong seeking, due to the resulting playback length difference.
* Users note: Panning only works for mono sources, values are in the range [-2..2], this basically controls the angle of the sound, 0 is front, -1 left, 1 right and 2 and -2 are back. Typical stereo panning only supports [-1..1].
* Disabled animation of audio related ffmpeg output parameters.
* Scene Audio Panel: 3D Listener settings also for Renderer, new Volume property (animatable!), Update/Bake buttons for animation problems, moved sampling rate and channel count here
A mesh can consist out of multiple material. Take a character with clothing's. the skin can be a different material as the different clothing's. During compositing it is a common use-case to only do a part of the composit on only a specific material. Currently this can not be done.
In blender movies this feature is known to be implemented, but until now it never got integrated into trunk.
Proposal
With material index the Blender internal renderer will be capable of creating a buffer containing the material indexes of the first pixel-hit. This will be implemented in the same manner as the object index.
In the compositor the ID Mask node can be used to extract the information out of the Render pass.
Impact
User interface
On the properties-space the next changes will be done
Scene⇒Render layer⇒Passes⇒Material index will be added
Material⇒Options⇒Pass index will be added
DNA
Material struct will get an new field called “index”. this will be a short-type.
Material struct the field pad will be removed.
A new Render-layer pass will be added (bit 1«18)
RNA
Material RNA is updated (based on “pass index” from object)
Render layer RNA is updated (based on IndexOB)
Blender internal renderer
The Blender internal renderer will process the render pass as a copy of the Object index.
Blender compositor
The render layer input will get a new output socket called “IndexMA”
Usage
An example on how to use material index can be found at:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib/tests/compositing/composite_materialindex.blend
This is also example of a commit message longer than the commit itself :)
- Sequencer dynamics: Now it's possible to change the output channels and the resampling quality also increased (previously maximum quality was 44,1 kHz)
- Changed two buffers to use ffmpeg allocation, not sure if that helps somehow.
