enter weight paint, hopefully fully fixed this time
* The texture selector for brushes wasn't updating. Seems that preview
images have two sizes, small (icon) and big, but it was only
updating if the icon size was set to update. Now both are checked.
* Also changed the previewimage arrays to use the already-existing
PREVIEW_MIPMAPS define, makes it a little clearer what the arrays
are for.
paint
A couple underlying issues:
* Paint icon was looking only at the object mode to determine what the
"current" mode is, but that gave problems when the object mode was
anything other than texpaint, but 2D image paint was turned on. Fix
was to also look at what space is being drawn, and only if it's in
the 3D view does it look at the ob mode.
* The brushes lists weren't getting filtered correctly in the same
case where 2D image paint was on but a different object mode is
enabled. Fixed by changing the brush rna poll to look at the paint
source, rather than the object mode.
Added new option for applyong modifiers on splines' points. This moves
tesselation point and path would be affected by modifiers which are applied on
splines' points.
These were markers which belonged to an action instead of the scene,
and are used by PoseLib to keep track of where poses are.
To restore this, I've made this only available in Action/Shapekey
Editor modes, and only when an action is being shown and the "Show
Pose Markers" option in the Markers menu has been enabled. Other than
that, all the standard marker operators apply now (instead of using a
separate set of special operators).
* Viscoelastic springs between the fluid particles can simulate all kinds
of viscous and elastic substances, such as jelly and honey. This is
achieved by creating springs dynamically between neighboring particles
and adjusting their rest length based on stretching/compression.
* This nearly completes the currently intended functionality for particle
fluids. The last missing thing is a surfacing extraction algorithm,
which is needed for a proper representation of a sph fluid.
* I also cleaned up and renamed some of the fluid parameters to make the
ui a bit easier to understand.
* One addition to the patch is an option to use "initial rest length" for
the springs, which uses the lengths between the particles at the time of
spring creation as the spring rest lengths instead of interaction radius/2.
This makes the fluid keep it's original shape better (good for very
viscoelastic materials), but can create large density differences inside
the fluid (not really physically correct for a fluid).
* Viscoelastic springs are stored in point cache as extra data.
* Not strictly necessary right now, but better for future.
* Struct data (only boids at the moment) is now written as structs (with dna) so they work between 64 and 32 bit machines too.
* I've getting bad feelings about the point cache index_array for a while (cause for this bug too), so from now on memory cache uses a simple binary search directly on the index data to handle queries to specific data points.
* This is a bit slower than just checking from a dedicated array, but it's much less error prone, uses less memory and makes the code more readable too, so it's not a tough choice.
Many thanks to them!
For comparison, see here:

This fixes bugs:
#24591: Artefacts/strange normal mapping when anti-aliasing is on
#24735: Error at the Normal function.
#24962: Normals are not calculated correctly if anti-aliasing is off
#25103: Weird artefacts in Normal
This will break render compatibility a bit, but fixing this bugs would have also
done that, so in this case it should be acceptable.
Patch committed with these modifications:
* Bump method Old/3-Tap/5-Tap option in UI, 3-Tap is default
* Only compute normal perturbation vectors when needed
* Fix some middle of block variable definitions for MSVC
* Renamed children to "simple" and "interpolated" as this is
easier to explain and more descriptive than "from particles"
and "from faces".
* Also shuffled the child ui around a bit to make it clearer.
* Child seed parameter allows to change the seed for children
independent of the main seed value.
* Long hair mode for interpolated children:
- Making even haircuts was impossible before as the child
strand lengths were even, but their root coordinates were
not similar in relation to the parent strands.
- The "long hair" option uses the tips of the parent strands
to calculate the child strand tips.
* Hair parting options:
- Hair parting can now be calculated dynamically on the fly
when in 2.49 there was a cumbersome way of using emitter mesh
seams to define parting lines.
- For long hair parting can be created by a tip distance/root
distance threshold. For example setting the minimum threshold
to 2.0 creates partings between children belonging to parents
with tip distance of three times the root distance
((1+2)*root distance).
- For short hair the parting thresholds are used as angles
between the root directions.
* New kink parameters:
- Kink flatness calculates kink into a shape that would have
been achieved with an actual curling iron.
- Kink amplitude clump determines how much the main clump value
effects the kink amplitude.
- The beginning of kink is now smoothed to make the hair look
more natural close to the roots.
* Some bugs fixed along the way too:
- Child parent's were not determined correctly in some cases.
- Children didn't always look correct in particle mode.
- Changing child parameters caused actual particles to be
recalculated.
* Also cleaned up some deprecated code.
All in all there should be no real changes to how old files look
(except perhaps a bit better!), but the new options should make
hair/fur creation a bit more enjoyable. I'll try to make a video
demonstrating the new stuff shortly.
Object color option now is incorporated in preview render, and
in display in 3D window.
Note that Object-color is "modulating" the render result, it just
multiplies... which is very limited for practical use. This was
added for Apricot game project. The original meaning however was
to replace diffuse only... so specular and light work still correct.
ALso made header for properties editor start on top, to reflect
default (report in tracker).
DNA reconstruct now terminates strings, when the new string
in a file is longer than in current definition. This will
enable a safer ID and other name lengthening, keeping at
least some forward compitability.
Use object's displists for storing deformed tesselated curve. Was unable to
totally get rid of curve's displist because of how texture space is calculating.
Due to popular request and usability considerations, this commit
reintroduces functionality similar to 2.4's "Draw Mode" for Grease
Pencil.
In the toolbar under the Draw/Line/Eraser buttons, you can find the
"Use Sketching Sessions" toggle, which enables this feature. This is a
per-scene setting, and defaults to off, so that the current 2.5
behaviour is still the default (i.e. the Grease Pencil operator will
only do a single stroke at a time).
With this option enabled, drawing with Grease Pencil will enter a
semi-modal state where you can draw multiple strokes without needing
to keep holding the DKEY throughout (though you'll still need to do so
to start the strokes, unless you use some toolbar buttons), while
still being able to manipulate the viewport. Header help-text prints
show the appropriate keybindings (i.e. press ESCKEY or ENTER to end
the sketching session).
Notes:
- To aid maintainability of the 3D-View toolbar code, I've taken the
liberty to factor out the groups of widgets which commonly occur in
most of the toolbars into separate functions (namely "Repeat" and
"Grease Pencil"). Perhaps it might make it slightly harder to newbies
to the toolbar code to grasp, though the physics panels are far worse
;)
- I've reshuffled some code in the Grease Pencil code to separate out
the various states of operation again more clearly, though some more
work is still needed there (TODO)
- There can now be only one Grease Pencil operator running at a time
- Redoing Grease Pencil operations where sketching sessions was
enabled still needs work. Namely, a way of delimiting the set of
points recorded into strokes is still needed (TODO)
- Ultimately, it should be possible to switch tools midway through a
session. Currently sessions are limited to only being able to be used
with a single drawing mode (TODO)
- After ending a drawing session, the titlebar contols may not work on
Windows without manually making the main window lose focus and then
regain (i.e. click on some other window in toolbar, then come back).
This may be related to (bug #25480)
Drag/drop now has a User preset for dragging threshold.
Noticed this was set to 3 pixels even, made it 5 as default.
Tablet owners can put it larger too :)
Note: the tweak-threshold (3d win) is 10 pixels now, I think
this needs another preset too, leave this for now.
Also: fixed crash in filewindow: drag .blend icon and drop it.
You can't test anything in Blender or you get a bug :)
* Massive reorganization of pointcache code, things are now cleaner than ever.
* For all but smoke the cache is first written to memory when using disk cache and after that written to disk in one operation. This allows less disk operations and the possibility to compress the data before writing it to disk.
* Previously only smoke cache could be compressed, now the same options exist for other physics types too (when using disk cache). For now the default compression option is still "no compression", but if there aren't any problems this can be set to "light compression" as it's actually faster than no compression in most cases since there's less data to write to the disk. Based on quick tests heavy compression can reduce the file size down to 1/3rd of the original size, but is really slow compared to other options, so it should be used only if file size is critical!
* The pointcache code wasn't really 64bit compatible (for disk cache) until now, so this update should fix some crashes on 64bit builds too. Now all integer data that's saved to disk uses 32 bit unsigned integers, so simulations done on 64bit should load fine on 32bit machines and vice versa. (Important disk cache simulations made on 64bit builds should be converted to memory cache in a revision before this commit).
* There are also the beginnings of extradata handling code in pointcache in anticipation of adding the dynamic springs for particle fluids (the springs need to be stored as extradata into point cache).
* Particles were being read from the cache with a slightly wrong framerate. In most cases this probably wasn't noticeable, but none the less the code is now correct in every way.
* Small other fixes here and there & some cosmetic changes to cache panel, but over all there should be no functional changes other than the new disk cache compression options.
* This whole re-organization also seems to fix bug #25436 and hopefully shouldn't introduce any new ones!
* Argh my bad, sorry about this!
* Now only the actual data array is saved to avoid constant re-allocations, but no relations to active data are kept.
* Also reverted Ton's quick fix for the crash as it's not needed anymore.
- Adding drivers from the UI (not from py-scripts though) will now
automatically add a "Transform Channel" driver variable to the newly
created drivers. This makes setting up drivers a bit more convenient
for the most commonly used case.
- Drivers now report their errors using the Reports system instead of
writing these directly to the console.
- Clarified some comments to be more insightful about the "why's" of
some design decisions, and related formatting/cleanup tweaks
- Reduced scope of "path" vars to just the scope they're required in
- Removed some unused defines from a failed experiment in the original
Keying Sets code ("templates" and "template flags") which was
superseeded by the more flexible + nicer "Builtin KeyingSets"
Since 2.5x blender has been using CD_MASK_BAREMESH for updating objects since object_handle_update() no longer has access to G.curscreen to calculate the mask from viewports.
The problem with this is after an initial calculation, CD_MASK_MTFACE may be required on draw, so it would recalculate the modifier stack multiple times per frame.
One case which caused this is armature animated mesh with texface in a dupligroup.
Fix this by having customdata_mask member in the scene, this isn't great design but at least fixes the bug and only changes a few files.
view rotate precision was lost over time, make view3d rotate normalize rv3d->viewquat.
note, this no longer crashes blender, just prints.
also commented some RegionView3D struct members.
* Timeline didn't listen to file read notifier, so the pointcache frames indicator didn't get updated.
* Also added listens to particle & modifier (cloth, sb & smoke) notifiers as changes that cleared a pointcache weren't shown directly in the timeline either.
* The timeline display was also always one frame behind the actual state, since the notifiers are handled before the actual dynamics are calculated.
** This is now fixed too, by creating the actual drawn data always at drawtime.
ED_curve_updateAnimPaths now updates fcurves from animation data rather than
from local copy of curves: nurb and point index from keyIndex data gets
updated in this function and for correct handling undo stuff copy of
fcurves is stored in UndoCurve.
Additional changes:
- Revert of rev33640 and more proper fix: do not copy remained
spline-related rna fcurves after renaming pathes but all the rest
fcurves woulddbe copied back to animation data
- Refresh graph and dopesheet editor after updating animation data
- made theme colors for mesh edge len & face angle/area display.
- use %g rather then %f for float display, trims unneeded zeros.
- store cached 2d and 3d text color as bytes rather then floats, compare when drawing to avoid setting the context.
- use unsigned char for more color functions, avoids casting to glColorubv().
Makes adding new flags give ambiguous results and also makes it less easy to tell whats intended.
In some places it looks like OB_RECALC_TIME should be left out too.
Was another problem caused by each brush being allowed in more than
one paint mode.
Added a new field to the brush struct to indicate what mode the icon
was last set for; if it's changed then reset it. Not sure if it's
really worth it to cache this, could remove it for simplicity.
* New option to "Regrow hair" for each frame.
* This was perhaps more a feature request, but there was a similar useful feature called "animated hair" in particles at some point.
* The previous behavior for hair growing was inconsistent to say the least, so this is a nice option to have.
This allows manual (point by point) animation of their control verts,
although many other settings cannot really be animated with any
visible effects yet. Interestingly, lattices also had IPO block
pointers, though they were never really used (AFAIK).
Todo:
- Animation Editor support has yet to be added. I've got a few other
things to add to, so will group those changes together.
Remove pose channel select, this is for internal use on read/write only.
Its possible to have a convenience attribute but rather not fake bone data being in the pose channel. just access pose_bone.bone.select
- active is no longer assumed to be selected.
this fixes a simple bug - eg: Adding a new armature, entering pose mode and toggling selection failed.
- outliner editbone selection now works like object and pose mode.
- mouse selection sets the bone active even when the tip is selected.
- active, unselected bones draw as wire color with a 15% tint of the selected color.
* Particle age can now be used as the texture x-coordinate, and location in a particle trail as the y-coordinate.
* This finally enables particles in 2.5 to change their color (or any other texturable material property) by their age.
* In 2.4x this was accomplished with the "100 frames == particle age", but this was both non-intuitive and slow as the animation system had to be recalculated for every particle.
* Currently these are 2d coordinates (age/lifetime == x-coordinate, trail particle index/number of trail particles == y-coordinate), but other particle properties or possibly even a user definable property can be added as coordinates in the future.
* On the code side this uses the same coordinate definition number (for halo materials) as strand coordinates (for surface materials). This is also nice as they intuitively mean nearly the same thing, i.e. along strand or during particle life.
===================
Update fcurves RNA pathes after making changes to curve topology, so
animation will no longer lost after edit and wouldn't lead to crash.
Will be very useful for RotoBezier addon.
Also NodeKeyIndex renamed to CVNodeIndex due to node is an entity from
another module and better not used in others.
- Object actuator rotation was being scaled by: (1/0.02)*2*PI/360 == 0.872, since revision 2.
- Remove scaling and use do_versions to adjust existing files.
- loop over sequencer plugin and texture voxel paths.
- fix leak in python bpy.utils.blend_path() and use PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() to ensure correct paths with different encodings.
- operators to make paths absolute & relative now redraw the view.
only tags the ID and does the actual flush/update delayed, before the next
redraw. For objects the update was already delayed, just flushing wasn't
yet.
This should help performance in python and animation editors, by making
calls to RNA property update quicker. Still need to add calls in a few
places where this was previously avoided due to bad performance.
Particle cache reading: crash when loading .blend on a different
endian system, code was dumping arrays in .blend without DNA.
General warning for devs: avoid generic write_data and dynamic
arrays in DNA.
* Separate caches were causing quite a lot of problems both in principle and practice.
* For example it doesn't really make sense to have different frame ranges for normal and high resolution smoke, but this was fully possible before.
* Also to fully bake the smoke you had to do a "Bake All Dynamics", which completely defeats the whole point of the feature!
* As a result of this change the smoke cache usage is much much simpler and less error prone.
* This is quite a big change, but hopefully there should be less rather than more problems as a result :)
Some other related changes:
* Changing the cache name now works for disk caches properly too, it now just renames the cache files so should be faster too!
* Smoke is now always forced to disk cache with step 1 on file load as there were some strange cases where smoke was trying to use memory cache.
* Disabled smoke debug prints from console.
* Disabled changing smoke parameters when smoke is baked.
Note to users: The unfortunate side effect of this is that old high resolution simulations have to be baked again, but in return you get much better and more logical functionality. Sorry none the less!
- commented unused View3D->flag's
- popup dialog now centers over the mouse
- only overwrite image alpha with render settings on save if saving the render result.
This fixes Orig Dimension display (mostly).
* orx, ory both didn't get calculated, if dimension already matched
* putting them into Strip instead of StripData ment, that using images
of different dimensions in one strip could lead to incorrect results
Still TODO: on file open, timeline display happens before preview
display which means: orig_width and height are calculated after the
first draw of N-keys dialog. You have to hit refresh (or scrub one
frame) to get the right values displayed.
(userpref->system), with a great help from brecht (its been way too long
for me).
However as brecht pointed out that the non-AA text is slightly lareger
then AA'ed Text :S, i did not do anything about this as this commit was
just the option not the text drawing.
this commit also makes it possible to do all kinds of UI textrender options
we were using SENSOR_RAY for the radar sensor axis. However the Ray axis is inverted (God knows why) so I created a set of defines only for radar sensor.
Also I thought it was a good idea to replace some hardcoded values in Radar and Ray codes by their defines in DNA_sensor_types.h (similar to what Benoit did for Armature Sensor, so I see no problem on that).
- Reading 2.4x files could cause print "missing region type".
Appeared the 2.50 do_versions patch differed from default region
definitions
- Sometimes editors showed wrong button for type browsing.
Was because variable wasn't correctly reset on saves.
- incorrect range check broke ZYX euler rotations, use MIN/MAX constants so this doesn't happen again.
- BGE Armature PyAPI also wasn't using correct min/max with rotation modes.
- clamp on file read rather then when calling the rotation functions, so developers don't use invalid args without realizing it.
- added assert() checks for debug builds so invalid axis constants don't slip through.
Ton will work on moving the File menu out of the Info space before release.
notes.
- reply Operator isn't working anymore.
- UI for reports is commented out so its not mixed with the file menu.
By just removing these vars (commenting them out), we were getting alignment errors which were causing crashes when loading old files with armatures (crash in armature drawing code).
Fortunately I happen to be working on a little project right now, and caught this :)
Issue: in user preferences window, using file selecting caused the
the userpref window to be saved, and not closing.
Reason: design error (by me) in using screen->full tag for denoting
a temporarily screen (like file window). Fixed by using a new
screen->temp variable for it.
System remained unstable though, noticed another issue with freeing
temp screens in wrong places. Seems nice stable now! Will check on
the wiki for relarted issues now.
disallow cloud depth over 30, it causes a lot of floating point exceptions (and nan value pixels), because of hitting the int limit with 1<<(oct+1) in BLI_gTurbulence
This commit restores the ability to reorder channels in the animation editors (DopeSheet/Action/etc., Graph/Drivers, NLA). The hotkeys for this are:
- Shift-PageUp = Move Up
- Shift-PageDown = Move Down
- Ctrl-Shift-PageUp = Move to Top of List
- Ctrl-Shift-PageDown = Move to Bottom of List
Do note that only animation data can get reordered using this.
So, do not expect to be able to change the object order (that is actually taken from the order that Blender actually evaluates them per update/frame).
---
In the process, I've fixed a couple of other bugs:
* Removed 'optimisation step' check in anim_filter.c for dopesheet with no filtering options modified, since this meant that the ANIMFILTER_ANIMDATA data filter was not getting processed (and potentially there were other maintenance problems with that).
* Made NLA Editor's channel list not totally duplicate the basic Animation Channels keymap. Instead, the "NLA Channels" keymap now only defines the parts that are different, and this then gets specified before the standard one so that these different parts will override the standard ones.
* Attempted to fix BorderSelect on NLA Channels list. Still not totally working correctly yet though.
* Moved "Euler Discontinuity" menu entry from "Channels" to "Keys". It really belongs in the latter, since it affects the keyframe values, rather than some aspect of the channel (i.e. ordering of channels or how they're displayed)
Added two user preferences for filebrowser:
1. Hide Recent Locations
Requested by Kernon Dillon. Reason: People doing video tutorials might not want to expose the name of other projects they are working on.
2. Open Filebrowser in thumbnail view for images and movies
Requested by Sebastian König at the Blender Conference. Reason: In the past (and most likely still) some corrupt images or movies could crash the filebrowser when generating thumbnails. (crashes in ffmpeg, libtiff, libjpg). While many of those were solved, artists in a production environment might want to use this setting to prevent any crashes.
NOTE: the second setting should probably be set next time we create a new default startup.blend. Until then users need to switch this on manually in the User Preferences.
the brush system matches the brush mode with the object mode, but this doesn't work for 2D image view paint.
since the poll() function doesnt have access to the context, for now just check if no paint modes are active, default to texture paint.
Patch by Dan Eicher. In 3dview properties you can enable this. Rotating view then uses cursor as pivot point. Note that with this option enabled just relocating the 3d cursor also changes the 3dview.
Sebastian König: "Now the 3d cursor is actually useful" (sitting next to me while applying patch at bconf hostel)
Fix for one of the causes of crashing.
Applying armature deform wasn't thread safe since the pose bones had deform data written into them when deforming a mesh.
This fixes crashing immediately, on every render for me but blender still crashes calculating the subsurf sometimes.
- open operator was incorrectly checking if the font path was set.
- rna ID editable check was also incorrect, checking the ID name rather then the filename.
- use define FO_BUILTIN_NAME rather then "<builtin>".
Fixed bug #24111, "Mirror clipping not working while sculpting a mirrored mesh"
* Mirror modifiers can handle multiple-axis mirroring, updated sculpt to work with that
* Marked the "axis" field of MirrorModifierData deprecated, since it looks like bitflags are supposed to be used now
==========
Main changes:
- lines could be partially shown when they starts somewhere behind the upper
boundary of area but because of word-wrapping some part of line will be show
- fixed caret navigatiog in area when tabs aren't replaced by spaces
- highlight the whole current line not only it's wrapped segment with caret
- when you're in replace mode cursor would be as long as the tab's width if it's under tab symbol
This fixes:
#22399: Text Editor: word-wrapped lines prevent navigating through text with up-arrow.
#21163: Text editor scrollbar problem with word wrap
* The existence of cached frames was checked each frame causing hundreds of disk operations per frame update.
* Pointcache now keeps an updated array of the cached frames for fast "frame exists in cache" queries.
* This fix also speeds up some other pointcache operations nicely.
modified the patch to store the string internally rather then an array of allocated string pointers, less hassle with memory allocation.
changed to use fnmatch, so *.foo is needed (not .foo as with the patch)
- set_frame() --> frame_set()
- set_context_pointer() --> context_pointer_set()
material adding works for curves and metaballs, new function to remove materials.
materials.link() didnt well fit how this is used elsewhere
- order matters
- it can be linked more than once.
- remove(material), isnt that useful since you need to manage indicies.
... use list style functions instead. materials.append(mat) / materials.pop(index)
Contributed by Imran Syed (freakabcd)
Adds a field where the user can put in name/nickname that exporters
then can use to write authoring information, where possible.
- also fixes a problem where xray+transp+alpha1.0 objects wouldnt draw at all.
- the patch worked by adding twice but this leaked memory.
- solve by adding the xraytransp object to the xray list if the alpha is 1.0
file->relname was being edited when its length allocated at the size of the original name, realloc'ing failed because the old string was still used by a button.
- rename TextLine.line -> body, ConsoleLine.line -> body
- minor speedups when setting the body text, also re-allocate console lines if they are < half the length.
- added option to highlight current line in the text editor.
This fixes: [#23184] Problems with speed control effect strip in the
video sequence editor
Also: got rid of tstripdata caches in DNA.
Fixes some potential crashes in SEQ_IMAGE rendering (s_elem wasn't
checked for NULL).
- re-arranged UI in a way that gave far too much vert scrolling.
- was added all over for simple things like making text="", layout engine should handle this.
- Ton and Brecht are ok with removing this now. Ton would like to work on the layout engine to make it better support these cases.
more of a request then a bug but shows up a strange limitation with curve deform modifier,
The mesh bounding box would set the deform axis start/end to map the deformation of the curve to. This means it ignored offset in the object location and object data location (you could use a dummy vertex to trick it).
Old files wont change, added an option (next to stretch), called 'Bounds Clamp', old files have this behavior but newly made curves have it disabled.
Double checked this gives useful results with stretch on/off and negative axis.
- remove brush array for each Paint struct, just use a single brush pointer.
- removed rna function based template filtering.
- filter brushes using a flag on the brush and the pointer poll function.
- set the brushes using a new operator WM_OT_context_set_id().
TODO
- remake startup.blend, currently brush groupings are lost.
- rewrite WM_OT_context_set_id() to use rna introspection.
Fixed brush icons loading slowly
* Changed brush icon property from an enum to a flag that toggles whether a custom file is used for the brush icon
* Changed get_brush_icon to only handle loading external icons, built-ins are handled through the regular icon system
* Modified preview icon drawing to allow built-in icons
* When not using a custom icon, a default icon is selected based on the current tool
TODO:
* Allowing preview to show built-in icons makes the brush texture selector look ugly when nothing is selected. As discussed on IRC though, the nothing-selected state needs to be clarified anyway; I'll address this in another commit
* Use image browser when selecting a custom icon
* Selecting the default icon is ugly (uses the active object's mode), this can be fixed by making brushes know which paint mode they are part of
Fix#21498: Edit curve Shape key /252_r 27318
Added full support of shape keys for curves and nurbs surfaces including
topology changing in edit mode, undo stuff, updating relative keys when
working under basis and so on.
