Absorption and Dispersion parameters now only visible when 'Ray Transp'
enabled. WardIso specular amount scale to match Blender output.
Updated halo spotlight 'samples' to use new yafray syntax.
Quick addition for access to another yafray feature:
When using HDR backgrounds for lighting ('SkyDome' of 'Full' GI methods),
it is currently not always possible to get smooth lighting results.
Especially HDR images with small lightsource can be very noisy,
because currently yafray still relies on brute force random sampling.
As a temporary simple solution (better options will be available in the
'next generation' yafray), yafray can do some processing on the
image to smooth out all (or most) noise.
Besides smooth lighting, this also has
the advantage that AA will have less work to do,
GI quality can be set to the lowest level and still get reasonably
good results. Disadvantage however is that shadow definition is lost.
To switch on this option, set the world image texture filter parameter
to any value greater than 1.0
When 'filter' is 1.0 or less, normal hdr sampling is done as before.
So, current fastest possible render settings for IBL:
set texture image filter parameter of the background image to any value
greater than 1.0, set GI to 'SkyDome' type, enable 'Cache',
(possibly enable 'NoBump' when scene uses lots of bumpmapping),
set 'Quality' menu to 'Use Blender AO settings',
make sure AO is enabled in blender World buttons and set there the number
of AO samples to 1.
Should at least be good enough for previews.
Ortho render didn't correct texture/shadow coordinates for subpixel
position. Caused small errors where faces intersect each other.
Also found texture subpixel error in unified (using jitter table not
correctly). This also caused errors with z value comparing.
Fixes:
- naming of Transform instead of Shape node
X3D exporter: line 431 and 432
VRML exporter: line 430 and 433
- wrong import of modules in the X3D exporter
line 72
Now triangles and quads of _any_ shape collide nicly with softbodies.
Some tricks don't work in a non euclidian geometry !
Had to brush up that dusty knowlege a bit :)
thanks efbie & ton
Modified bFTGL so the bitmaps supplied by the font itself aren't used.
Patch originally supplied by Shizu, somehow this was never added to
FTGL.
Be sure to build binaries with bFTGL, not the provided ftgl.lib from the
lib dir. (this one can be deleted afaic)
ESC during alt+a playback.
Solved in the 'proper' way, which is not abusing the (while render)
ESC callback for UI draw of stars, this confused everything. Means;
you cannot esc stars drawing anymore. Nice feature, bad hack...
When drawing many stars (or for certain slow gfx cards) you can press ESC
to stop it from drawing. The variable set for this escape was not reset,
causing a first F12 render to not work. (Ancient bug!).
Added: redraw event for "Stars" button in worldbuttons.
((me->flag&ME_SUBSURF) && me->subdiv)
In build_mesh_data(). This because meshes with subdiv==0 were calling a
MakeDisplist() for each redraw otherwise, disabling for example the
posemode "delay deform" feature. (bug #2700)
Daniel; it would help if you would add comments in the code, for example
to understand the difference between;
mesh_get_base_derived()
mesh_get_derived()
and how it relates to
build_mesh_data()
I realize most of the mess is in displist code... and confusing use
of features while editing, posemode, & render. Nevertheless, it's not
clear at first sight which parts of derivedmesh is design, and which
part reflects the hacks to make it work. :)
An alternative fix - last one broke stuff that I only discovered
*after* committing! Go figure!
Basically, gave B_REDR events for the sliders -- I still think
there is a bigger underlying issue here, but it is best left for
Ton the interface guru! ;)
Sliders (and potentially other buttons) with no retval were not breaking the ui_do_block() loop, which caused events to propagate to other panels!
(The effect could also be seen by dragging from AO sliders into the
World name textbox.)
Numpad Minus can now be used all the time to type negative numbers, without interfering with PET.
WARNING Behavior change: PET area of effect is not resized with Alt-Num+ and Alt-Num- (in addition to the scrollwheel)
WARNING testing needed: it's late and the laptop here has a funny emulated numpad, so better be tested on a real keyboard by someone who is not coding past midnight.
This because the used integer+float division could result in a
9.999999e-01 value, which is for acos() to return 3.452670e-04.
Converted the division to use doubles instead.
alone with the following flags :
-Wall -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-missing-braces.
the only one still worrying me is in rand.c line 57 :
rand.c:57: integer constant is too large for "long" type
but i have no clue about how correct cross-compiler and 32/64 bits friendly
see also my mail to commiter list for signed/unsigned issues
Area light soft shadow now renders transparant shadow as well.
ALso: found error in correct threadsafe use of soft shadow tables. Caused
dither/noise not to look as well as it could.
Appending from files also set the string for "last loaded file". That's
a real bad one... so you can save over accidentally libraries.
Another fix: appending from files that have dynamic other files linked
with relative paths didn't work. (Yah, now it should all work!)
renderconverter change is just a more clear comment.
When number of OSA samples is larger than number of AO samples, the AO
loop doesn't function well. Since rendering 16 OSA samples with only 9
AO samples isn't very useful, I've made the AO render level to become
at least equal or larger than amount of OSA samples.
Is first bug in 2.37 that worked in 2.36...
Thread render with using Area lights was not fully thread safe yet. I
thought I had a smart method to trick threads, but apparently it can best
(and only) be done with Mutexes...
The bugfix for linking recursively from files worked, but there was another
bug hidden... only showed up when actually *using* the recursive feature,
and not with only testing the bugfix. :) Famous coder error, but yah, we
got luckily users to test it!
I'v asked the reporter to give it more extensive testing!
sqeeze in a minor bugfix.
I wouln't be surprised it is too late,
but since it really is sort of minor, it doesn't matter really.
I had mistakenly put the export of dispersion and absorption parameters in the
ray_mirror block instead of ray_transp, which means that both dispersion and
absorption can only be used if both ray mirror and ray transp are enabled.
Anyway, I don't want to make everyone recompile release builds if already
done, it is minor, but users should take this into account at least.
- Ipokeys didnt have 'selected' flag, so were not included in center
calculus
- Multiple keys transform didn't apply this center even...
ALso took extra work time to add credits in splash. Frédéric Van der Essen!
