A common error when developing with Korman and Korlib is to forget to
recompile _korlib on changes in the upstream C++ code. This will prevent
the errors from being catastrophic and will revert the user to the
python reference implementation with a minimum of fuss.
This operator takes a file as an argument and builds a cubemap from it.
Valid options are to supply the output from Plasma's
Graphics.Renderer.GrabCubeMap console command. The operator will find
the other five files and generate a cubemap with the faces saved by
Plasma. Otherwise, any arbitrary image can be supplied. If the filenames
do not fit the expected format, any missing faces will be replaced by
the face specified in the file selector. This will generally result in a
cubemap with six identical faces.
Previously, we allowed OpenGL to generate all of the mip levels for us
in a mipmap. This was pretty doggone fast and worked reasonably well.
However, with cube maps, we will need to use images that are not always
backed in Blender... this is because Blender stores cube maps as one
single image instead of one image per face. So, we need to be able to
generate those mip levels, preferably without touching Blender's
`Image.pixels`, which is slower than Christmas...
Also of note... `Image.gl_load()` will actually scale the iamge to a POT
when Blender is using OpenGL ES... but not on other platforms. So, now,
we just ask Blender to load the image and deal with the POT-izing later.
The con here is that the pure python implementation of the image scaling
function is SLOOOOOOOW. We're talking ~40 seconds to process a 1024x1024
mipmap. No one should be using the reference implementation, however,
and the C++ implementation shows no noticable slowdown over the OpenGL
code.
Whew.
Previously, the C korlib used a custom buffer class to avoid a memcpy
operation. However, pyMipmap expects binary string (PyBytes) objects, so
this changes the code to use them. Future work would be to continue
using PyBytes and removing the copy. For now, there are bigger fish to
fry...
The export logger and export reporter have been merged together to form
an eventually much more powerful export analysis feature. For now, the
benefit is that general log messages don't have to be so fiddly with
print statements and string formatting. You're welcome.
This sound emitter modifier is almost as fully functional as PlasmaMAX's various sound emitter components. Additional functionality was added to C korlib so that artists can specify OGG Vorbis sound files. If korlib is not compiled, only WAVE sounds can be utilized in Korman. This fixes some of the more fiddly bugs related to exporting to CWE that were seen in PyPRP.
Sound nodes to be implemented...
This idiotic change was introduced in stealth mode from 2.76 to 2.77. It has something to do with 3d textures, supposedly. I think the person who made this change is simply an asshat...
Export all images right-side up. OpenGL flips them because fail, so we
have to do a bit of work to correct that. Thankfully, this operation is
not as slow as I thought.
NOTE TO SELF: remember, texture page updating would be nice to have...
Yeah, korlib was a bit faster than this implementation, but, honestly,
having a second python module made life more difficult than it needed to
be. This fixes that.
