Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.
*** use-case:
"I have 10 reference images that overlap each other and every time I want to see one, I need to change the transparency of all the others.
therefore it would be nice to have a little button by each menu to allow enable/disabling individual background images"
To avoid subversioning bump I created a define that is negative (DISABLED) and of course a rna that is a boolean_negative.
Talked with Campbell and he actually prefers this way over do_version, so there it goes.
This commit implements:
- Configurable settings for newly creating tracks
Now it's possible to set tracking algorithm and it's settings for
all newly creating tracks including manual tracks creation and
tracks creation by "Detect Features" operator.
- Moves margin, frames limit and adjust frame inside per-track
settings.
Was request from Francois for this.
- Adjust Frames replaced with menu called Pattern Match where it's
possible to choose between matching pattern from keyframe frame
or from previously tracked frame.
Didn't see somebody used adjust frames values differ from 0 and 1,
and this menu should make things more clear here/
This operator does needed changes to
- 3D viewport
- Scene settings
- World settings
- Compositor
- Scene objects
in a way scene becomes ready to be composited into footage.
Known issue: preview doesn't work "out-of-box" after running this script,
selecting View node and hitting Tab helps. Not sure it can be solved
in nicer way at this moment.
by Gaia Clary.
Rationale: the name was confusing and not always used consistently, and this
map itself is not something that can be layered, rather the map can be used
as texture coordinates in some layered setup.
The original intent was to indicate this contained more than just UV's, but
the game engine settings have already been moved out, and apparently users
didn't really get this from the name anyway.
- 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.
- Fixed incorrect memory access on distoritons more than 128 pixels
- Do not use UNDO operators flags for delete proxy operator (files can't be restored form disk),
and also do not use UNDO for set as background operator (background images are storing in
3d viewport which isn't getting re-loaded on undo which can lead to incorrect users count
of movie clip user).
This should fix an error with generated qtcreator projects.
also replace decoded bytes for unicode escape sequences in the VIEW3D_MT_edit_text_chars menu.
- Changed some names so now people who aren't really familiar with
motion tracking can understand what they exactly means
- Also cleaned up and rephraded some descriptions
- Changed behavior of operator which creates empty for 2d tracks:
now it operates on all selected tracks rather than active track only
- Added checkbox to enable/disable rotation stabilization
Submitted by Rainer Wahler
This patch adds the individual invert options for the turntable mode too. In turntable mode there are only the rotate and roll and no tilt axis to invert.
if a value other than 1/0 was given it would use an uninitialized pointer too (compiler warning, review should pick up this stuff).
also renamed some RNA attrs:
output_name --> output_name_a
output_name2 --> output_name_b
do_output1 --> use_output_a
do_output2 --> use_output_b
do_smudge --> use_smudge
max_velocity --> velocity_max
- 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.
- Add support for refining the camera's intrinsic parameters
during a solve. Currently, refining supports only the following
combinations of intrinsic parameters:
f
f, cx, cy
f, cx, cy, k1, k2
f, k1
f, k1, k2
This is not the same as autocalibration, since the user must
still make a reasonable initial guess about the focal length and
other parameters, whereas true autocalibration would eliminate
the need for the user specify intrinsic parameters at all.
However, the solver works well with only rough guesses for the
focal length, so perhaps full autocalibation is not that
important.
Adding support for the last two combinations, (f, k1) and (f,
k1, k2) required changes to the library libmv depends on for
bundle adjustment, SSBA. These changes should get ported
upstream not just to libmv but to SSBA as well.
- Improved the region of convergence for bundle adjustment by
increasing the number of Levenberg-Marquardt iterations from 50
to 500. This way, the solver is able to crawl out of the bad
local minima it gets stuck in when changing from, for example,
bundling k1 and k2 to just k1 and resetting k2 to 0.
- Add several new region tracker implementations. A region tracker
is a libmv concept, which refers to tracking a template image
pattern through frames. The impact to end users is that tracking
should "just work better". I am reserving a more detailed
writeup, and maybe a paper, for later.
- Other libmv tweaks, such as detecting that a tracker is headed
outside of the image bounds.
This includes several changes made directly to the libmv extern
code rather expecting to get those changes through normal libmv
channels, because I, the libmv BDFL, decided it was faster to work
on libmv directly in Blender, then later reverse-port the libmv
changes from Blender back into libmv trunk. The interesting part
is that I added a full Levenberg-Marquardt loop to the region
tracking code, which should lead to a more stable solutions. I
also added a hacky implementation of "Efficient Second-Order
Minimization" for tracking, which works nicely. A more detailed
quantitative evaluation will follow.
Original patch by Keir, cleaned a bit by myself.
* Changed the user interface for the Ocean modifier, to use less space and look better.
* Changed rna name cachepath to filepath for consistency (fluid cache path also uses "filepath")
* Renamed "Sharp" proximity falloff to "Constant".
* Added a new "Negate Volume" option for "Volume + Proximity" brush.
* Possible fix for random particle clipping errors.
* Code cleanup, changed some splits to row's, much nicer when you only use 2 properties in a row.
* if > elif
* Removed some duplicated code for an if/elif/else check
Did some minor separator() changes too.
to enable from python:
bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO', 'PRESET'}
from C:
ot->flag= OPTYPE_REGISTER|OPTYPE_UNDO|OPTYPE_PRESET;
- added context member 'active_operator'
- enable this for 'Add Torus' for testing.
* Expose 3D view camera zoom and offset, needed if you want to precisely
reconstruct camera parameters.
* Rename SpaceFileBrowser.operator to active_operator, to avoid conflict
with c++ keyword.
- Lock to selection and center to selection will now work fine with undistorted rendering
- Do not display pyramid for disabled tracks
- Corrected fix for wrong correlation_min property name
===========================
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.
This means that you don't need to have the view panel open all the
time, reducing the amount of scrolling required just to be able to
precisely position the 3D cursor at specific coordinates while
changing some other settings. While most of the settings in the View
panel are less likely to be frequently changed, the 3D cursor can in
some workflows end up needing to be accessed quite frequently.
incompatible, and unmaintainable Time Offset cruft.
- Slow Parenting lives another day (just), although it now carries
appropriate cautionary disclaimers. It's only really for the Game
Engine nowadays, as that's the only place where it can possibly work
with any reliability.
- "Animation Hacks" panel is now "Relations Extras". I could've merged
the two panels, though I figured these options weren't that frequently
used to justify taking up screen-space by default along with the panel
- Added support of variable size sensor width and height.
- Added presets for most common cameras, also new presets can be defined by user.
- Added option to control which dimension (vertical or horizontal) of sensor
size defines FOV. Old behavior of automatic FOV calculation is also kept.
- Renderer, viewport, game engine and collada importer/exporter should
deal fine with this changes. Other exporters would be updated soon.
from Troy Sobotka (sobotka), with edits
- remove Markers from Ctrl+L menu (was out of place here and was broken from recent changes to marker operators)
- further de-duplicte scripts by having all menus call the same function: marker_menu_generic().
this fixes bug [#29083] too.
* Scene.use_shading_nodes property to check if RenderEngine is using new shading
nodes system, and RenderEngine.bl_use_shading_nodes to set this.
* Add mechanism for tagging nodes as being compatible with the old/new system.
Changing tilt for 2D curves doesn't really hurt, just makes things not so
clear tosee what's going on because you're changing value which isn't used
at all for 2D curves. Disallwo to run TRANSFORM_OT_tilt operator for 2D curves.
Also made a correct fix for incorrect shortcut for tilt in 3D viewport toolbar,
it was really confusing to have almost the same operators (TRANSFORM_OT_tilt and
TRANSFORM_OT_transform with mode=tilt) in keymap. Better to use tilt operator
in toolbar.
* Redesigned alpha blending and paint drying algorithms. Now it gives much better results when using low brush alpha or when surface has initial color set.
* Fix: "Slow" dissolve/dry was scaled incorrect when using substeps. Also adjusted time to better match non-"slow" setting.
* Fixed possible issues when using image textured brush.
* Fix: particle brush panel was no longer visible since last commit.
* Adjusted default surface values.
* Some more code cleanup.
Some UI and code cleanup for the "Symmetry" panel in sculpt mode.
* Made X, Y, Z Buttons toggle buttons, as the other X,Y,Z in the "Options" panel above in sculpt mode, for consistency.
causes Blender 2.60 RC2 to crash
This commit just rolls back part of r.40868, which was causing crashes
when trying to treat id-property-groups as bpy.type.Property to access
a special "rna_type" attribute added as part of said commit.
The underlying Py-API voodoo here is far too evil (along with the
myriad of ways of creating custom props) to work out an API fix for,
but at least we don't get anymore crashes now. In tests here, this
check even seems redundant!
It now had issues when hiding menus with the - icon, space selector disappeared.
I am sorry for that, but I consider this a show stopper eventually. :(
This commit introduces the issue with narrowed verts/edge/face select in solid/edit mode again.
- added API examples for mathutils.Color/Euler/Quaternion/Matrix.
- corrected own bad spelling matricies --> matrices.
- minor pep8 edits.
- update CMake ignore file list.
There has been quite a bit of fuss about particle dupliobject rotation in 2.59, so here are some changes to make things work a bit more consistently and predictably in 2.60.
Much of the confusion has been about what the "Initial rotation" for particles actually means. Simply put it's just a vector that that the particles (and the dupliobjects) are aligned to and around which they can be rotated with the phase controls. I've now renamed these controls under a label "Rotation axis".
In 2.59 and previous versions the dupliobject's global x-axis was aligned to the particle rotation axis for non-hair particles. This meant that the object's own rotation (in addition to the particle rotation) could effect the dupliobjects' rotations. This old behavior can still be used with the "Rotation" option in the particle render panel when object/group is set as the visualization. This option is also activated automatically for old files to maintain backwards compatibility.
Now the default dupliobject rotations ignore the object's own rotation completely and align the object's tracking axis to the particle rotation axis. The tracking axis can be found under the Object tab -> Animation Hacks panel.
In 2.58 the way of calculating the rotation for hair didn't work as intended and enabled many non-functional combinations of options. For this reason I removed most of the rotation options for hair in 2.59. Now the options have been reimplemented better and the dupliobject's tracking axis is aligned to the hair direction by default (Rotation axis = Velocity / Hair). All the other axis options work too along with the phase controls.
* Vert/Edge/Face select buttons looked crappy when in EditMode and Wireframe shading. Fixed it.
This commit makes the View3D Template a bit narrower in general, but it's very minor, should be no problem.
This also fixes some weird increase/decrease of the 3D Mode selector menu when toggling between Textured/Solid and Wireframe/Boundbox shading.
- cmake/windows was installing locale & font when internationalization was disabled, twice when enabled.
- file selector was using the string size-1, where this isn't needed since string buttons expected this value to be the sizeof(), accounting for '\0'.
- use const char for extension checking funcs.
- minor pep8 edits
* Fix: Wave "timescale" also changed simulation behavior. Now different timescale values will lead to nearly identical results, just slower or faster.
* Added "Displace Factor" setting for vertex displace surfaces. You can use it to adjust final displace strength or use negative values to paint bumps.
* Added clamp/map value to wave image sequence output settings.
* RNA description tweaking.
* General code tweaking.
- Display running job template in all sequencer modes
It was displayed only for sequencer mode without preview.
- Fixed proxy rebuild progress indicator
It was alsways zero because of incorrect rounding.
- Fixed timecode saving on windows (and probably some other platforms)
It was caused by incorrect opening file for writting -- it should
be opened in binary format "wb". This error caused incorrect
movie duration detection on windows.
- Fixed movie resolution detection for some movies.
In file attached to report, Blender detected resolution 1920x1088
instead of 1920x1080. Not sure if this fix is correct or it's
issue in FFmpeg, but it's something what mplayer using: store
width/height before running avcodec_open().
- Fixed frame number calculation when building timecodes.
It was rounding error caused some frames be positioned incorrect
in several cases (that each 6th frame rendered as next frame
from report).
- 2 new navmesh operators, reset and clear navmesh data.
- rename operators to be more consistent with existing names.
- some minor edits to draw function, was getting the custom data for every index when it already had the array.
- add quick effects to object menu, these are too useful to hide in search menu.
- set/clear track/parent - expand the operators enums in submenus - no advantage in having a further popup after clicking on the menu item.
- move 'Join UVs' into Make links menu which is currently being abused to store some copy functions. Do this because the 'Object' menu is getting too big.
update signal for this was missing. Problem is that the operator properties
RNA update callback doesn't know the associated keymap item, worked around it
with UI template now.
from Bastien Montagne (mont29)
Only applied Sequencer Select Grouped functionality - similar to the one in object mode, select strips based on type, time, data etc.
* Brush ui still had references to old "Non-Closed" property.
Note that old Dynamic Paint saves no longer work in carrot revisions 40411 and later due to new modifiers that were added into trunk. :(
Summary:
========
The idea here is to move the texface options into the material panel.
For images with the change please visit:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2011/09/bge-material-texface-changes
1 - Some of the legacy problems 2.49 and 2.5x has with the texface system:
==========================================================================
1.1) Shadow, Bilboard and Halo are mutual exclusive (in the code), yet you can
select a face to be more than one mode.
1.2) Sort only works for blend Alpha yet it's an option regardless of the
Transparency Blend you pick.
1.3) Shared doesn't affect anything in BGE.
1.4) ObColor only works for Text objects (old bitmap texts) when using Texture
Face Materials. (not address yet, I so far ignored obcolor)
2 - Notes:
============
2.1) Now "Use Face Textures" in material Option panel will work in Multitexture
even if there is no texture channel.
2.2) In FaceTexture mode it will use TexFace all the time, even if you don't
check the "Use Texture Face" option in the UI. It's a matter of decision, since
the code for either way is there. I decided by the solution that makes the
creation of a material fast - in this mode the user doesn't need to mess with
textures or this "Use Texture Face" option at all. I'm not strong in my opinion
here. But I think if we don't have this then what is the point of the Texture
Face mode?
2.3) I kept references for tface only when we need the image, UV or the tiling
setting. It should help later when/if we split the Image and UV layers from the
tface struct (Campbell and Brecht proposal).
3 - Changes in a Nutshell:
==========================
3.1) "Texture Face" panel (in the Mesh/Object Data panel) no longer exists. Those settings are all part of the material properties, visible when Game Render is set.
3.2) "Texture Face" Shading mode (in the Render panel) is now called “Single Texture”, it needs a material for special settings (e.g. Billboard, Alpha Sort, …).
3.3) New options in the Material Panel
* Shadeless option in the Material panel is now supported for all three Shading modes.
* Physics is now toggleable, this is the old Collision option.
* Two Side (on) is now called Back Culling (off).
* Alpha Sort is one of the Alpha options, together (and mutually exclusive) to Alpha Blend, Alpha Clip, Add and Opaque (i.e. solid).
* Shadow, Billboard and Halo are grouped in the “Face Orientation” property.
* "Face Textures" and "Face Textures Alpha" (under Options) can be used for all but GLSL shading mode (to be supported in GLSL eventually).
* The backend in the game engine is still the same as before. The only changes are in the interface and in the way you need to think your materials. The bottomline is: It’s no longer possible to share materials between faces that do not share the same game properties.
4 - Acknowledgment:

Patch review and original documentation can be found here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Dfelinto/TexFacehttp://codereview.appspot.com/4289041/
- Use enum instead of back/front flags combinations.
- This flags behaves differently for 2d/3d curves so use different enums for them.
- This commit shouldn't change existing files.
- removed some unused functions.
- renamed vars to make more sense paint_vertex.c 'flags' --> 'lock_flags'
- some odd modifications were made in unrealted, commented code, copy these back from trunk.
- rename vertex_group_fix 'cp' property to 'accuracy'
- make style more consistant with trunk.
- remove 'Radish' comments.
- 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.
- merge object.vertex_group_lock_all / object.vertex_group_invert_locks / "object.vertex_group_unlock_all into one operator.
- change lock button from a checkbox to a lock icon.
- move get_selected_defgroups & count_selected_defgroups into blenkernel
- split calc_weightpaint_vert_color() logic so its more obvious whats default and multipaint behavior
* Enabled modifier "Apply" button since it can now be used to apply displacement or output layers to the mesh.
* Default surface output names are now unique in case canvas has multiple surfaces of same type.
* Merged "face aligned" and "non-closed" brush options to a single "Project" toggle, available for "Proximity" brushes.
* Added more icons to user interface selections.
* Increased default proximity distance.
* Set proximity falloff ramp to only affect alpha by default.
* Removed some no longer required render ext. functions.
* Fix: geometry node vertex alpha didn't work unless "Vertex Color Paint/Light" was enabled from material.
* The new NAVMESH Modifier did not show any buttons, console printed errors instead!
* Poll of "PHYSICS_PT_game_obstacles" panel caused errors as well, self instead of cls was used as argument.
* Check to show/hide buttons in "WORLD_PT_game_physics_obstacles" panel did not worked due to wrong ENUM identifier ('None' instead if 'NONE')
* Moved "SCENE_PT_navmesh" panel out of properties_scene.py into the properties_game.py where it belongs and renamed it. Also, don't use abreviations in Panel Headers (Navmesh > Navigaion Mesh)
* Code cleanup, removed unnescecary code.
* bpy.types.Panel > Panel
*Updated UI code (replaced “row columns” by splits ;) ).
*Clamped global influence to [0.0, 1.0] range!
*Added/edited some tooltips for Proximity.
*Proximity distance mapping can now be reversed by entering Lowest Dist > Highest Dist.
*Moved mapping before masking in Proximity, much more sensible this way!
- It's like sketch mode for lines, but you're specifying line knots
by clicking on position you want to add next knot.
- View can be navigated between knots creation.
- Holding LMB down and sliding mouse will lead to new segment preview
so it can be created more accurate.
Additional change: fixed GP->Bezier conversion. Last point used to
be ignored in this operator.
*Added Smooth/Sharp/Root/etc. mappings to WeightVGEdit modifier, in addition to custom curve one.
*Added Smooth/Sharp/Root/etc. mappings to WeightVGProximity modifier, without the custom curve one!
*Factorized the common mapping code into MOD_weightvg_util.
* Added "Initial Color" setting for surfaces. You can for example set color from UV mapped texture or from vertex colors.
* Added clamping option for "wave" brushes.
* Merged smudge and drip adjacency search code. This fixes some issues with drip effect and makes code easier to maintain.
* Some adjustments to the bounding box generation code.
* OpenMP is now completely disabled if no compile flag is set.
* Wetness values are now properly clamped on vertex surfaces. No more black dots on >1.0 wetness.
* Textured brushes now use same function calls as internal renderer, instead of modified duplicates.
* Moved operator code to editors/physics/.
* Re-enabled some particle brush optimizations.
* Fixed sometimes incorrect volume brush influence.
* Fixed possible crash when using a brush that uses "Voxel Data" texture simultaneously with material preview or render.
* Fixed texture mapping issues for "Object Center" brush.
* Fixed possible crash/corruption when duplicating brush object that uses color ramps.
* Other tweaking and code cleanup.
