This build has been obsoleted by a newer build

The CVS-build for today:

[url=xxxx]http://www.letwory.net/cvsbuilds/bf_blender_windows_20040106.zip[/url]


This version has been built with Michel_'s created build system, SCons. It has TTF, International, Quicktime and OpenAL enabled, and of course including the preliminary Yafray export support, which really rocks already!

What is new?

* displacement map (working with texture mappings orco, sticky, global, obj and normal)
* splitting of non-flat quads for better displacement and less errors of subsurfaces while raytracing
* adaptive splitting of renderfaces improving smoothness without additional subdivide
* bug fix for previewrender with mapping type 'Cube'

See the thread for the windows build of yesterday (2004/01/05) for instruction on installing and configuring for Yafray.

Enjoy!

thanks, for your built but i was wondering
how does the displacement work?

The zip has been updated. All of the updates concern the yafray support.

* A file selector for the iYFexport path (in user settings) has been added. Win32 should have less problems now.
* reflection export scheme has changed so now blender's RayMir is used as yafray's min_refle and the amount of reflection is controled by the mir color. This seems more intuitive. And now IOR is exported also for reflection only, wich is needed for fresnel.

To use the new displacement:
* add a cube
* in edit mode subdivide it a few times
* add a material
* add a texture to the material (like clouds)
* in the material panels, for the texture in the map to panel hit the disp button.
* f12
* oooohh.

Quite nicely To get a result, make sure your object has UV coordinates, or else set "map input" to "nor". Set "Map to" to "disp", and make sure the mesh has enough vertices, preferably by setting it as a subsurf. Render

(this only works in Blender's renderer, not YafRay)

Breathtaking! Simply Breathtaking!


I found a bug though: the Bake function in the Action Window is not working. It doesn't work when I insert the strip in the NLA Editor...

Nice build.
I cant get the displacement to work at all atm though.

I will keep trying

[EDIT] Got it, i was being an idiot and forgot to Sub Divide

Is anyone experiencing the same armature problems as I am?

What used to be sticky feet are now not. If I grab the base of the spine on the previous pre-Yafray builds, and pull down, the character goes into a crouch. Now all he does is relocate completely.

This rig has worked in all the Blender versions up until now, could it just be a bug or bad rig design I wonder.

I noticed this as well, but it seems like a GL thing. It seems like the constraints are not being updated in the 3d window, keying the rigs, eg, spine with Ik legs, works in playback and rendering. I think this was an atempt to speed up the Armature system.

Don't you just love the new displacement mapping, some great work coders

As for the Displacement mapping fantastic work coders
I subdivded a plane, added a material with a cloud texture
and mapped it to the displacement then animated the offset
and this is what i got

Please supply an example blend.

Displacement seems to be coming out fine in the render, but it doesn't show up in the 3D view. After displacing an object, it appears in the 3D window, as no different than before i applied the displacement. Is it supposed to do this?

Yes. It is a render-time displacement.

oops missed the new one, because I arrived via link. Thanks for the builds.

I dont have server space to post unfortunately, but that character of yours that opens the filing cabinet. That one has the same problem.

Cheers

I don't know if it has been said before, as I cant find where to report bugs for bf, but Shadow only doesn't work with ray traced shadows.
