Reported by Andy Goralczyk (@eyecandy) over IRC, thanks!
Simply nuke all that poor broken custom one-by-one handling in
object_relations.c code, and use highly complex but powerful and
well-tested BKE_library_make_local() in all cases of MakeLocal!
ID management, especially related to linking, is very hairy matters,
better to have as few as possible core functions managing all the dirty
details. ;)
Edge collapse was using bounding box center as the point to collapse to.
When collapsing multiple adjacent edges together, this caused
inconsistencies in placement of the collapsed point, depending on the
orientation of the edges in relation to the space axis.
This makes edge collapse use the mean point instead.
The previous outlier heuristic only checked whether the pixel is more than
twice as bright compared to the 75% quantile of the 5x5 neighborhood.
While this detected fireflies robustly, it also incorrectly marked a lot of
legitimate small highlights as outliers and filtered them away.
This commit adds an additional condition for marking a pixel as a firefly:
In addition to being above the reference brightness, the lower end of the
3-sigma confidence interval has to be below it.
Since the lower end approximates how low the true value of the pixel might be,
this test separates pixels that are supposed to be very bright from pixels that
are very bright due to random fireflies.
Also, since there is now a reliable outlier filter as a preprocessing step,
the additional confidence interval test in the reconstruction kernel is no
longer needed.
The problem was that the strokes in the copy-paste buffer could be keeping
dangling pointers to colors that were already freed. Therefore, this commit
makes it so that when copying the strokes, we now make copies of the colors
and put them in a hashtable beside the stroke buffer. This is convenient,
as it saves us having to look up what colours need to be copied over each
time when pasting.
The problem was that newly pasted strokes were still using colours from
the original datablock. As a result, you'd either get an immediate crash,
or if you managed to save the file before it crashed, each stroke would get
reloaded with a dummy colour.
This commit fixes makes it possible to copy/paste strokes between datablocks
again. However, there are still problems when trying to paste across file
boundaries (i.e. copy strokes in one file, paste in another), which the next
commit will address.
faces.
This was requested by script writers. Especially needed if beveling
wire edges with vertex_only.
Should be backward compatible as just adds two new keys to returned
dict in python ('edges' and 'verts').
Was internally a no-op operation, which only caused extra work
to be done during depsgrpah traversal and evaluation, without
making any measurable improvement.
This is a minor update add more information on how Blender handles modal
operators. The existing docs provide a good overview, but might not be
as helpful to those unfamiliar with modal programming. This patch also
corrects a few small grammar issues.
It was never actually used apart from being stored at a construciton time.
This caused some redundancy and ncertanty about which relation type to use
during construciton (often existing types were not close enough to particular
use case).
