#4742 exported normals are now correct
#4821 & 4956 for complex movements in/outflows can now also
use the animated mesh option
- new features
* isosurface subdivision: directly
creates a finer surface mesh from the simulation data.
this increases simulation time and harddisk usage, though, so
be careful - usually values of 2-4 should be enough.
* fluidsim particles: extended model for particle
simulation and generation. When isosurface subdivision is enabled,
the particles are now included in the surface generation,
giving a better impression of a single connected surface.
Note - the particles are only included in the final surface
mesh, so the preview surface shows none of the particle
effects.
* particle loading: different types of particles can now be selected for
display: drops, floats and tracers. This is a bit obsolete
due to the extensions mentioned above, but might still be useful.
Floats are just particles floating on the fluid surface, could
be used for e.g. foam.
* moving objects impact factor: this is another tweaking option,
as the handling of moving objects is still not conserving
mass. setting this to zero simply deletes the fluid, 1 is
the default, while larger values cause a stronger
impact. For tweaking the simulation: if fluid disappears, try
increasing this value, and if too much is appearing reduce it.
You can even use negative values for some strange results :)
- more code cleanup, e.g. removed config file writing in fluidsim.c,
added additional safety checks for particles & fluidsim domains (these
currently dont work together). I also removed the "build particles"
debug message in effects.c (seemed to be unnecessary?).
Some more info on the new features:
Here are two test animations showing the difference between
using the particle generation with isosurface subdivision.
This is how it would look with the old solver version:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_1noparts.mpg
and this with the new one:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_fl6manc4_2wparts.mpg
Both simulations use a resolution of 64, however, the version with particles
takes significantly longer (almost twice as long).
The .blend file for a similar setup can be found here:
http://www10.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~sinithue/blender/fluid6_testmanc4.blend
(Minor Tips for this file: dont enable subdivions of characters until rendering,
thus leave off for simulation, as it uses the rendering settings! For making
nice pictures switch on subdivion, and OSA.)
And here's a picture of old vs. new (for webpage or so):

Boolean crashed when using vertexcolors or UVs. The fix is disputable... it
just always returns a valid char * for "face vertex material", whatever
that may be... this fix seems not to break anything.
Also moved the report to Todo tracker, with message:
-> Need new Boolean maintainer!
problems reported by klockwork.com who was very nice and has offered to
provide free source code analisys for us.
This one deals with freeing memory for an object when there is an
error. (The function allocated memory intending to return it but
then ran into problems, and was forgetting to free it before it returned
NULL)

* Add WITH_BF_YAFRAY, which per default is 'true', so no visible changes for developers (and users).
Set WITH_BF_YAFRAY to 'false', and you'll save some major compile time :) Also handy if you're strapped for memory and compilation fails on yafray compilation due
to this.
- this commit also has a few whitespace changes and
- made BF_NO_ELBEEM a proper BoolOption. This will be renamed to WITH_BF_ELBEEM in the near future...
maintenance work:
- added missing files in blenkernel
- updated Bullet in extern
- Python: SurfNurb.c
- removed compile and dependency of PHY_Ode
- made blenderplayer compile again (had to add pthreads lib)
Experimental boolean tool optimization: for very large meshes a significant
amount of time is spend performing linear searches of edges. This patch
implements a "hash" table (really more of a bucket table) to narrow the
search space.
If someone should need to disable this, just remove the "#define HASH" at
the beginning of BOP_Mesh.h
module itself, replacing the special MEM_mallocT/MEM_freeT functions.
Mutex locking is only enabled when threads are running.
There was no good reason to have these separate, it just led to ugly
hacks when calling functions with non-threadsafe malloc from threads.
of the fluidsim can now be disabled with the
flag: BF_NO_ELBEEM='true', e.g. for irix systems.
(The number of ifdefs from the original
patch was reduced, and the defines are now
only necessary when elbeem is switched off.)
- particle generation option is available again
open the tablet and friends up....
Basically the issue this fixes is this. On my linux machine at
work someone setup a generic xorg.conf file that defines all
kinds of devices (a tablet and other stuff) which are not on my
machine. So blender was exiting when it tried to open the tablet
and failed. Now it doesn't.... :)
I also did some very minor reformatting... (replaced parts that had spaces
with tabs)

This is 'ported' from Nicholas Bishop's sculpting GSoC tree. I'm bringing it
over now so a) it can be there for when lukep does his GHOST refactor b) it's
something that GHOST should have anyway, particularly now there's interest in
painting tools and c) it's missing support in Windows, so hopefully now some
enterprising Windows coder can add that more easily in the main bf tree.
Right now X11 and Mac OS X are supported. I added and can maintain the Mac OS X
part, but I'm not familiar with the Xinput stuff, which Nicholas wrote. Both
X11 and Mac are collecting active device and pressure, and Mac is also
collecting x and y tilt data. Up to coders how they want to use this info! :)
Although the data's coming in, I haven't actually made this do anything. I
thought it best to leave it to brecht to figure out what he wants to do with the
painting stuff, and I wonder what other interesting uses there could be for it
(proportional edit?). I'll write implementation details in a separate mail to
the committers list.
- patch from Douglas with endian fixes
- Makefile adds static libiconv.a from lib/
- this version will use OpenEXR libs from lib/ too, and is latest release
with threading support
- openAL is missing, added it as default to not include it
- Assert was causing blender to crash on non-manifold meshes with a decimation
modifier. Even in a debug build, there's no reason to crash blender then,
because the modifier handles this ok and displays a warning message.
Part of the problem is NDEBUG not being set in scons/linux for release builds,
but always enabled for makefiles even in debug builds.
"Swaps left and right bytes of small cursors for Carbon on Intel."
This fixes garbled cursors on Intel Mac builds. Tested on my G4 too and it works fine.
Adding back some code to booleans that got lost in the Orange merge.
I've also added back the code which checked that meshes were solid
("manifolds") but have the actual check in
intern/boolop/intern/BOP_Interface.cpp, since from my testing it was
not causing crashes or hangs. It *can* give odd results depending on
what you're trying to intersect, but seems useful. Additionally, since
existing bugs in the current code can create non-solid/non-manifold
meshes, seems hypocritical to create a mesh that can't later be used in
another boolean operation.
Previous patch for "problems with STL iterators/vectors that only show up under
Visual Studio 2005" could cause a crash when object used as a boolean modifier
was changed (for example, flipping all the normals). The problem is that result
of boolean operations (apparently) can result in empty meshes. Patched to
use the vector::size operator to check for empty vectors before trying to
check the iterator.
Bug "fix" for #3932, and possibly for #3799. Booleans can get into an endless loop (at least until memory runs out); through triangulation somehow a face is repeatedly added to the list of faces to triangulate. This patch checks the face list for duplicates prior to a list add and aborts if a dup is found.
The real issue is why the triangulation is creating the face in the first place, but that will take a more thorough (and longer) examination of the code. If I can fix that issue that prior to the 2.42 release, then this code can be removed.
Used F11 and friends for its special keys Stop,again etc..
So this little patch enables F11 and F12 to work as expected
following link has documentation on it:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4734408
also from /usr/include/X11/Sunkeysym.h
#define SunXK_F36 0x1005FF10 // Labeled F11
#define SunXK_F37 0x1005FF11 // Labeled F12
I also added a comment explaning why the heck its there...
What this means is XK_F11 and XK_F12 do not line up with the F11 and F12
keys on sun keyboards. So I've added special cases to correct the issue.
Doing a quick grep for XK_F shows there are some files in the
gameengine that use them when they probably shouldn't, but I'm not going to
attempt to fix them, Files that should be looked at are:
gameengine/BlenderRoutines/KX_BlenderInputDevice.h
gameengine/Converter/KX_ConvertSensors.cpp
gameengine/GameLogic/SCA_IInputDevice.h
gameengine/GamePlayer/common/unix/GPU_KeyboardDevice.cpp
gameengine/GamePlayer/common/windows/GPW_KeyboardDevice.cpp
gameengine/GamePlayer/ghost/GPG_KeyboardDevice.cpp
gameengine/Ketsji/KX_PythonInit.cpp

This should bring the projectfiles upto date for msvc7.
Moving these to version 7.1 so that the version 8 people don't have such a hard time importing into 2005.
Build intern.sln, extern.sln and then blender.sln. Enjoy. :p
variable blah at a higher scope is already defined...
(one of these was introduced by me when I moved a variable declaration
to the top of the function.)
