Blender Foundation: Status Update Week 41

jesterKing — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 16:12:17 +0000

Last week has been a bit of a hassle. Tuesday and wednesday I was out of development a lot, since I did some rebuilding of my ‘wardrobe’. I use an Ikea wardrobe to house my machines, but they stood there just as machines. Airflow was less than optimal, so I had to keep one door always open. I decided to do something about it. I removed the big plank in the middle and put a Elfa organiser system in place. I removed the casings from my computers and put the componenst into the organiser system. For cooling I got 4 large Noctua fans. The wardrobe is now much cooler, I can even leave the doors closed for long times. The system is not finished by a long shot. I still need to saw some good air vents at the top of the thing for outlet, and at the bottom for intake. Then install the fans properly, install silencer mats and so on. After that I’ve been working hard on getting back on track with time usage.

I’ve been working on COLLADA bugs that I thought would be quick to fix. It might have been quick, but I didn’t like the simple fixes, so I took time to devise a way for doing light export ‘properly’. I’ve been in contact with the author of Mitsuba renderer project (Jakob Wenzel) about the issue, and I think that the current way of doing export and import is now much better. Similar issues arise with camera export and import and so on – I continue working on them.

For Windows there was a difficult task in figuring out and fixing the problem of AltGr input in Text editor and Console editor.

Saturday I’ve added a simple version of the System Info script we used to have in 2.4x series. This can now be used by users to get good system info to be used in bug reports (the AltGr-problem became apparent when I tried scripting in Blender for this).

Last week I did 27 commits of which 7 were fixes. I closed 20 reports and I commented of a whole lot more.

Because of the AltGr-problem I put writing the graph scripts back (I use blender text editor exclusively for any Python 3.1.2 code, since it’s the only Python 3.1.2 interpreter I have on my system – ok, I admin, I do use gvim too when scripting in Blender), so the graphs look still unfinished, but here’s the pictures and numbers:

Blender Foundation: Status Update Week 40

jesterKing — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 21:28:57 +0000

Another week draws to an end. Our bug fixing efforts are still on-going. I haven’t been too active on the tracker this week though. I’ve been busy preparing the COLLADA code to build on in the coming time for the slew of bug reports that have been opened for it. Everything was in two huge files, which made it quite hard to work properly with the code. So instead of just diving straight into the bug fixing mode, I decided to refactor it into a number of files. Some nasty surprises were lying around (functors outside of structs or classes), but in the end I think I nailed most of it. The refactor for that is about completed (the odd class still not done), but it should be good now for continuing work on the COLLADA bugs in our tracker.

Apart from this I updated and/or rebuilt a number of dependencies: OpenEXR and IlmBase (debug libraries), OpenCOLLADA (my two patches for it were accepted upstream) and I built lcms libraries, enabling lcms support for Windows in our CMake and SCons build systems. Today I also quickly enabled CXX_GUARDEDALLOC support through SCons, which was available only for CMake users before.

For OpenCOLLADA builders should be advised that current dependencies in lib/windows and lib/win64 mean that COLLADA support can be built only with compilers that have unordered_map and unordered_hash support (TR1). This means for MSVS 2008 that you’ll probably need the VC++ 2008 Feature Pack installed if you already haven’t. I think VC++ 2010 already has this, but I’m not sure, as I have only MSVS 2008 Professional. So for those who use the VC++ 2008 express version, I’m afraid that won’t work too well for building COLLADA support – I heard that installing the VC++ 2008 Feature Pack doesn’t work for it.

Numbers and graphs (due to COLLADA work I’ve not continued the work on the scripts as I promised previous week):

Blender Foundation: Status Update Week 39

jesterKing — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 09:27:27 +0000

And another week has gone by, full of bug fixing and report tending. I closed over 30 reports of which 5 I fixed, the rest were either duplicates, todos or rejected. I fixed some unreported bugs too.

I cleaned out the trunk from the project files, and I fixed our CMake for Windows project files to properly copy the correct Python DLL and modules. For this I also committed the Python modules unpacked to our dependencies directories.

I enabled multilayer EXR files as textures.

I am slowly taking more ownership over our COLLADA code too. I fixed camera import and export and the odd crash that could happen when exporting uvlayers with image textures that didn’t have images set. I also fixed our COLLADA import to name the uvlayers as per semantic; for this I patched OpenCOLLADA and submitted the patch: here. The Windows libraries have been updated, Linux and OSX users need to patch themselves until committed. Test builds for Windows have been updated too, for that see the right sidebar.

I started changing yesterday the graph creation scripts, so until that’s done I now give just the numbers:

Arystan Dyussenov has finally managed to merge the GSoC COLLADA branch to trunk. I have been fighting with a broken-ish build environment and the OpenCOLLADA libraries since then.

First, many days were wasted in figuring out why during linking of the first library of OpenCOLLADA the build process would go in an eternal loop, issueing linking commands for the same library over and over again. After having tried different SCons versions, and several futile hacks of the SCons-files of the project, I took a harder look at my own environment.

We have had some talk about having ie. gstreamer as a replacement for FFMPEG. This means some new dependencies that traditionally are pretty hard to build on Windows (ignore FFMPEG here, it’s even harder). I found the OAH project. I decided to give it a spin – after some fiddling around, no good luck. I forgot about it. So yesterday I finally looked at my environment and noticed that the OAH linker would always somehow be used. After uninstalling the thing, I finally got through to linking and beyond! Then it was just a matter of doing some small fixes and picking the right settings for the libraries.

Last night I uploaded all libraries and their headers, necessary for Blender 2.5 to build with COLLADA support on Windows (32bit). I have uploaded the binary release of my build on Graphicall.org as build 1159.

Give the build a spin and report any problems with it to our bug tracker.

At least it now imports Sketchup-files (note: get the COLLADA format, not .skp)! For instance, below a model from Google 3D Warehouse:
