Re: [Bf-committers] Blender tangent space calculation
Eugene,
the link Morten pointed you
tohttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Shading/Tangent_Space_Normal_Mapsexplains
that
the tangent space you created your normal maps in (in blender)
is generated by the implementation in
mikktspace.hhttps://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/intern/mikktspace/mikktspace.hand
mikktspace.chttps://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender/intern/mikktspace/mikktspace.c
.
you might want to use those in your app (check the licence inside).
cheers,
lmg

My problem not in generating a normal maps (a textures) in blender. Not at
all.
My problem is that I cannot fully correct render my already generated
normal maps in my app. Because, how I mentioned in the last mail, the usual
methods for this purpose (by UV coords) is not gives me desired results.
So I wanted to ask for help with information about methods blender uses for
generating tangents.
And yes, I had searched in google but unfortunately have't found something
helpful yet.
If someone can point me to that kind of info, I will be very grateful!

Hi.
I am sorry if I subscribe into a wrong place, I am new and I've not
actually planned to change or to debug the blender sources yet.
But I trying to write app that'll be render models with normal mapping
exported from blender, and I have a question about how exactly is
blender
calculates a tangent vectors when Unwrap operation in the editing mode
performs?
Calculating tangents in my app in usual manner (using UV coords and
verts
positions) gives me different tangents for each face of the same vertex
indexed from, and thus crumpled normal map looking.
Then by looking into blender sources (searching by 'tangent' keyword)
I've
found a couple of functions with tangents calculations, like:
float axis[3] = {0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f};
cross_v3_v3v3(tangent, normal, up);
normalize_v3(tangent);
After I tried same method in my program I've gotten almost perfect
looking
model, depending on what initial axis I've used.
To choose, which axis to use (0, 0, 1), (0, 1, 0) or (1, 0, 0) for each
normal, I calculate max dot product of tangent calculated by each axis
with
tangent calculated from UV coords.
But still it seems that in some rare vertices tangent is calculates
wrong,
maybe because of wrong initial axis.
So, can anyone please give me any information about tangents
calculation
formula that blender uses while generates UV coords or some advice
about
choosing initial axis.
Thanks for help.

Re: [Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [37394] branches/merwin-spacenav: SpaceNav works on Linux
hey Mike,
good to see you're makin' progress! :)
in order to get your branch compiled on linux with cmake, I had to tweak it
a bit.
* install the 'libspnav-dev' package
* added the NDOFManagerX11 files to ghosts CMakeLists.txt
* added CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_RELEASE -lspnav
ideally you'd add some cmake flag like WITH_SPACENAV that also does a
library check and add the proper compile and linking flags,
didn't know how to, so I went the bruteforce way. maybe some cmake guru can
help here?
running was straight forward after:
* run 'spacenavd' (had to run it sudo or it wouldn't create the .sock)
keep it up!
hth,
mario

Suggest to do this instead: * Add generic overlay presets like golden rule, center, diagonal lines? There could be 3-6 of these that can work like existing tile safe. * Rather then adding new code, use grease pencil for this feature, the only change needed is show a cameras grease pencil while in the camera view - irrespective of selection. * Modify the SVG importer to optionally load paths into grease pencil or import SVG and convert curves to grease pencil internally. --- (end implementation details) For users this can be made as simple as a button in camera panel: Load SVG to Camera Grease Pencil. This avoids adding DNA, rna api, editing tools etc. If people really like to make some detailed camera overlay that cant be drawn by hand in grease pencil they can use inkscape and import it. ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

There was probably a reason, even if it wasn't a good one, understanding why might be useful. We already know exactly what is going on. We know exactly how and why the channels have to be set. I promise you. It will conform to the standard that is most common. The old spaces didn't support a real binormal (meaning +/- sign was not maintained). It was rather broken as it was. It was almost luck whether you got one thing or another. This is also why it was essentially useless for exporting any normal map out of blender. A new system has already been put in place which replaces the generated tangent spaces. These support mirroring and a sign +/-1 to create a bitangent with the correct orientation. This is not something mindlessly thrown in at the last minute.

If I recall the results of the last mailing list conversation on this subject, the consensus was that there is no 'standard' on ways to do normal mapping so Blender's is as good as anybody else's, and is not technically 'wrong'. The problem is that most of the other apps have standardized in 'the other method'.

Your suggestions are good, I also think that it's better to just deactivate some controls. The material type radiobutton has been kept out of the pipeline panel because users might find it more convenient. Even if I find that it would be more logical to incorporate it into the panel. I updated the mock-up after a small user survey on the kino3d forum. Seems that the header icons doesn't appeal to everyone. The fact that the panels disappear, when a material node is not selected, seems to be enough of a hint. I also swapped the node-material field with the material type radiobutton. The point is that the choice changes drastically the node-tree, and as such it's better positioned directly under the material selector.

Even if it's not the perfect solution, I think it's a step in the right direction. A patch, an image and a py script to test directly in Blender are provided here: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=25939group_id=9atid=127 What the patch does: * Adds a new panel: Render Pipeline Options bringing together the material properties that belong to the pipeline level. Those are the properties not mixable in material nodes. * If use_nodes is enabled, it adds a new field under the material selector showing the selected material node, or a label telling you that none is selected. * If no node material is selected, it hides the panels containing the node material's properties * If use_node is enabled and a node material is selected, it adds a NODETREE icon in every header of panels containing node material's properties. The panels containing the base-material options remain unchanged Discussing in IRC I got positive feedback except for the last point. Icons in headers are a bit ugly, but the need remains for showing the user what properties are of basematerial and what of node material.

The difference is that it can be unique per objects sharing the same mesh and material. ObColor works and will keep working. The question I was bringing is the option ObColor in the TexFace. I would assume this option allows part of the mesh to use ObColor and part to ignore. However, as I said in the proposal, I couldn't make it work (user-wise). I either have the entire mesh with ObColor or without. - Maybe it is a bit more work to need materials for all faces which need a different Face Mode, since now it is easy, just select one or more faces, set Face Mode and then Copy Mode. The workflow with materials is similar. Add multiple materials for the obejct (in the material slot) select the material you want, select the faces you want and click assign. The option to Select the faces of a specific material is even better than with TexFace because you can actually see the faces that share the same properties (i.e. material).

Actually I consider this more to be a bug than a design. Brecht would know better. Have you consider adding this to the tracker?

The functionality it brought to the Blender Game Engine is still useful nowadays. However its design hasn't changed and it lacks integration with other parts of Blender. This proposal is centered on moving the working functionalities as sub-options for the Material and remove deprecated ones. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Dfelinto/TexFace Hi, for the most I can overlook now (its late here) I am fine with it. There are two points where I have some worries (maybe because I need to think a bit more): - ObColor: I think I used it mayn times for changing the Mesh color with the ObCol Ipo, even making things transparent worked this way. However, having the Texture Face Mode become more and more obsolete it is maybe not of much use nowadays? I think in Multitexture (not sure here) and GLSL it is possible to animate the color directly without ObCol. - Maybe it is a bit more work to need materials for all faces which need a different Face Mode, since now it is easy, just select one or more faces, set Face Mode and then Copy Mode. There is also another thing I always hated for GLSL Materials: It is much more complicated to have a Mesh with multiple textures than with Texture Face. In UV Image Editor you map several textures to several faces, in Multitexture or Texture Face they are shown in the BGE. In GLSL you need to assign several Materials to the several faces to get the same result as in the other modes. So I think it have to be possible to show all the textures in GLSL when following is meet: - Object has a Material, - Face Textures in Options-Panel is ON That would be a great help.

[Bf-committers] blender bumpmapping
hi list, first, a short disclaimer: while only being 'Pinky' in this grand scheme of bump domination, really 'The Brain' is M. S. Mikkelsen (sparky), doing all the math! I just happen to know blender, tiny parts of its code and how to compile it =) so we started to work on an improvement of the bumpmapping code aka 'newbump' and it turned out it has quite a bunch of flaws. 'oldbump' did a better job in some places, but wasn't all too physically correct. best you check this comparison of blender bumpmap variants: - http://kishalmi.servus.at/3D/bumpcode/ to avoid confusion, we named our code 'sparkybump', but it's probably going to replace 'newbump' in the long run. note1: oldbump looks much softer with a factor of -5.0 - too soft, if you ask me. I mean -5.0 !?... should result in one hell of a bump, given the image used - but sparkybump produces similar results with factors around -0.2 except its fade out is linear, rather than quadratic. note2: the row at the very bottom is using 5 taps for calculations, giving slightly better results at the cost of speed. it's disabled in the patch, but left for reference + testing. for further insight into this - read sparkys paper. you'll be glad to hear, that this also fixes some normal-related bugs: [#24591] Artefacts/strange normal mapping when anti-aliasing is on [#24735] Error at the Normal function. [#24962] Normals are not calculated correctly if anti-aliasing is off [#25103] Weird artefacts in Normal it still needs more testing, finetuning and cleaning up, but it basically works and for those of you that want to give it a spin, here's a WiP patch: - http://www.pasteall.org/17942/diff that's it. now let the feedback roll in! =) cheers, mario ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
