gabio · Post by **gabio** » Mon Dec 27, 2004 10:38 pm

Fresh tree, ready to be hacked, Tuhopuu is ready to live again!
*note* all previous feature is now lost as this is the 2.36 source.*
---------------------------
Relevant feature:
-New Transform commit
-the new GLEW stuff by kester
-Shear for new Transform
-Proportionnal Edition for all current transformation.

Commit:
-theeth
Log:
New Transform commit

To enable, uncomment the following line in source/blender/src/transform.h

#define NEWTRANSFORM

This replaces grab, scale and rotate with the new code and add To Sphere with the hotkeys Ctrl-Shift-S

The following page in the wiki highlights the progression of the code.

Log Message:
Import GLEW 1.2.5

-theeth
Log:
Shear for new Transform. Really basic, works like the old one except that the no change value is 0 now, not 1 (1 didn't made much sense anyway).
No constraints yet, trying to figure out how that could work (you need to define two axis).

Shear has a new global (object and edit) hotkey: Ctrl-Alt-Skey. Old edit mode Ctrl-S still works.
(All those new hotkeys WILL change, they're there for easy testing only).

Log:
Some fun proof of concept coding again!

Proportionnal Edition for all current transformation.

Even better, the implementation is generic, so it will work regardless of edit mode/object mode.
For now, it only works for object mode because that's the transData conversion code I know the best (since I did it from the ground up) and because I thought this would be the best proof.
Others should follow shortly.

Since the PET is now accessible in object mode, I had to mode the Subsurf toggle to another hotkey (now Ctrl-Okey) to have Shift-Okey for the proportional mode toggle.
---------------------------
a new build is available.

cool !
I have to say that i don't like so much the way the new transform works :
The grab method to select the transformation axis confused me for a little time, but when i got used i didn't find that it gave significative improvements. Why change if it doesn't improve something ? Maybe i can't see the reason of this behaviour now. Secret feature planned ?

This new system has what seems to be a bug : it is extremely difficult to select the a deformation axis : further the selected thing is from the origin, further i have to move it to grab the axis.

The way it selects an axis right now is no good, I'll have to recode it. It will select the axis closest to the mouse cursor (unlike what it does now) and interactively highlight the nearest axis to show which one would be selected.

For now the changes aren't really visible to the user (except if they try the new To Sphere). The code is pretty much all new and neatly split to leave a lot of room for improvability.

Secret feature planned ?

Lots...

I like the sound of this.

bug in 'to sphere'?
add a cube, ctrl+shift+s, move the mouse, the number is changed but the cube is still a box even when lmb is pressed.

Try a random clicked polygon.
The "sphere" shape of a cube is a cube (all 8 verteces on same distance from the center).

the RMB cancel button don't always work. If I want to cancel with RMB while i'm moving sometime the transforme get accepted.

Just as an aside, To Sphere is not limitted to mesh. It's not even limited to edit mode.

I think i'm falling in love with your new transform code

I made a mistake, the 'to sphere' works only in editmode.

I don't see the Tuhopuu interactive edgeloop cutting features anymore. I only use Tuhopuu for my character modeling and modeling details with the interactive loop cutting features. I must be able to rotate my models while I cut details across the mesh faces. Well, I hope to see these features back in Tuhopuu.

Blend on!

I've also noticed a lot of tuhopuu features have disappeared, as the merge-loop (or something like that), the softbodies, the bridge tool... All of the features actually (except the cool 'ToSphere')

. Hope they'll be back!

Ok for the poeple not following: Fresh tree.
This mean new and empty.
in fact Hos just copied the 2.36 source over.
it's the responsability of the code owner to port the code, i suppose

theeth · Post by **theeth** » Wed Dec 29, 2004 11:10 pm

Just commited Shear. Remember, I plan to make every transformation works regardless of edit mode/object mode, if you get what I mean...

Gabio: I did some changes to the cancel checking, can you see if you can still reproduce your bug?

I'd be happy to try this. But all get is:

cvs server: Updating tuhopuu3/extern/glew
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/tuhopuu/tuhopuu3/extern/glew' (/cvsroot/tuhopuu/tuhopuu3/extern/glew/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/tuhopuu/tuhopuu3/extern/glew'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

huh?

It's the same (similar errors) with bf-blender/scripts

Thanks,
