Because of our release soon, feature has been added behind the Debug Menu.
CTRL+ALT+D and set it to -1. Or commandline --debug-value -1.
When debug set to -1, you can put the viewport to 'render' mode, just like
for Cycles. Notes for testers: (and please no bugs in tracker for this :)
- It renders without AA, MBlur, Panorama, Sequence, Composite
- Only active render layer gets rendered. Select another layer will re-render.
- But yes: it works for FreeStyle renders!
- Also does great for local view.
- BI is not well suited for incremental renders on view changes. This only
works for non-raytrace scenes, or zoom in ortho or camera mode, or for
Material changes. In most cases a full re-render is being done.
- ESC works to stop the preview render.
- Borders render as well. (CTRL+B)
- Force a refresh with arrow key left/right. A lot of settings don't trigger
re-render yet.
Tech notes:
- FreeStyle is adding a lot of temp objects/meshes in the Main database. This
caused DepsGraph to trigger changes (and redraws). I've prepended the names
for these temp objects with char number 27 (ESC), and made these names be
ignored for tag update checking.
- Fixed some bugs that were noticable with such excessive re-renders, like
for opening file window, quit during renders.
rotated close to 180 degrees and there were edges both below and above
the 180 degree threshhold. Separating and averaging the negative and
positive angles seems to solve the issue making the tool a bit more
robust ;)
mat4_decompose() is similar to mat4_to_loc_rot_size() but returns
rotation as quaternion.
mat4_to_loc_quat() just returns location and rotation without size.
impossible. In this case matrix inversion failed and didn't give a useful result.
Now it falls back to a pseudoinverse in that case, so that moving along the
other axes still works.
There may be other places that can benefit from this, but this is a place where
it has no significant performance impact, doing this in general for e.g. bone
matrices could be quite slow.
FLT_EPSILON was too small to use when checking if the edge collapse result is an error.
add invert_m3_m3_ex(), invert_m3_ex() functiosn which take an epsilon to check the determinant, saves calculating it twice per edge collapse.
Issue was caused by precision errors with floats.
Made internal grid drawing stuff using doubles and also added some
functions to multiply double vector by float matrix which also makes
all intermediate calculation in doubles.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
inconsistent with similar functions & math notation:
mul_m4_m4m4(R, B, A) => mult_m4_m4m4(R, A, B)
mul_m3_m3m4(R, B, A) => mult_m3_m3m4(R, A, B)
For branch maintainers, it should be relatively simple to fix things manually,
it's also possible run this script after merging to do automatic replacement:

Made Object Solver operator parent object to scene's camera. Behavior is pretty much
familiar to Child Of constraint -- it stores inverted transformation matrix which gives
constant offset in parent's space.
Current files would open incorrect, to make object aligned well again, just press
"Set Inverse" button in Object Solver constraint.
Fixed orientation operators so now they should work in all cases.
Also changed behavior of Set Origin operator which now sets origin to the median
point of all selected tracks/
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
