* Hide Modifier and Contraint Panel header, this gives a bit space.
As it's the only panel in these context tabs it does not make sense to close them anyways.
While looking at a bug report, I found that the current GUI for the Action
Constraint actually didn't make sense, mixing up settings so that it wasn't
clear which settings corresponded to which others. This commit cleans up the
layout into a clearer two-column design to have a "from" -> "to" layout, making
all the
relationships between things clear.

If this object is defined, object with Follow Track constraint would be
projected into surface of this depth object.
If object is not set or there's no projection onto it, projection plane
calculated based on original object position would be used.
This allows to make cheap facial mocap.
Object used to be parented to active camera which isn't very convenient when
working with witness cameras.
Now parent camera can be specified in constraint (if it's not specified, active camera is used)
- Bundles selection is now available for object's bundles
- If bundles selection wasn't changed in 3D viewport, fallback to regular
object selection, so objects behind bundles can be selected
- Snap cursor to selection now respects object's bundle selection
- Object and rack name now can be selected from list in constraint settings
- Added preset for tracks used for object tracking
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 commit implements basis stuff needed for object tracking,
use case isn't perfect now, interface also should be cleaned a bit.
- Added list of objects to be tracked. Default there's only one object called
"Camera" which is used for solving camera motion. Other objects can be added
and each of them will have it;s own list of tracks. Only one object can be used
for camera solving at this moment.
- Added new constraint called "Object Tracking" which makes oriented object be
moving in the save way as solved object motion.
- Scene orientation tools can be used for orienting object to bundles.
- All tools which works with list of tracks or reconstruction data now
gets that lists from active editing object.
- All objects and their tracking data are available via python api.
- Move tracking-related constraints to own section in list
Currently there are only two constraints, so can look a bit odd,
but it'll be other constraints like "Object Solver" and so.
- Move motion-tracking parameters from 3D viewport Display panel
to it's own panel.
- Get rid of "Bundle" in 3d viewport. It's quite obvious that it's
a 3D representation of tracks is used in 3D viewport and it shouldn't
be so confusing for artists now.
- Also get rid of "Bundle" in Follow Track constraint.
Old files can change a bit because of changes in DNA.
- Also get rid of "Bundles" in operator which creates vertices cloud
from 3D position of tracks.
- Rename "Principal Point" to "Optical Center" in the interface.
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.
More details about this project can be found on this page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2011
Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
- 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.
The Limit Distance Constraint now has a "For Transform" option just
like all the other Limit constraints. This option controls whether the
constraint gets applied to interactive transforms in the 3D View too,
preventing controllers from getting large values without the animator
knowing.
Additional code changes:
* Split code to get constraint targets and grab their matrices for
solving out to a separate helper function:
get_constraint_targets_for_solving()
* Fixed a bug where "found constraint ...." prints would appear in the
console. Looks like some warning print that was forgotten
TODO:
* While coding this, I noticed potential division by zero bugs with
the Limit Distance constraint. Looking into these after this commit.
Committing here a patch by Bastien Montagne (mont29), a more understandable Translation Constraint UI.
Before: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12578
Now http://www.pasteall.org/pic/12258
From the description:
"When you set “X” under the Destination’s “Z”, it does not mean that the Z transform of the source should affect the X transform of the destination, but rather that the X transform of the source should affect the Z transform of the destination…"
The new UI should make it a bit more clear.
ui/ --> startup/bl_ui
op/ --> startup/bl_operators
scripts/startup/ is now the only auto-loading script dir which gives some speedup for blender loading too.
~/.blender/2.56/scripts/startup works for auto-loading scripts too.
