Remove the 'inflate' vertex attributs from the Mesh and file format, and replace that with a per-component 'inflate centers' (which are as of yet untested)
Correct VertexEffectQueue in the Mesh. There's no need to have a separate Queue in every component.
Progress making it possible to apply Vertex Effects only to some Components of a Mesh.
In library: allow a mixture of a deep and shallow copy of a Mesh ( mVertAttribs1 might be copied deeply or shallowly, mVertAttribs2 are always copied deeeply).Port RubikCube to the new library.
Change 'tag' to a more appropriate name - 'association'.
Introduce 'tags' (soon to be renamed to 'associations') to Mesh and VertexEffect.A 'tag' is a way to associate a Vertex Effect only to a subgroup of a given Mesh's vertices (more precisely, only to an arbitrary subset of its Components)
Have VERTEX_QUATERNION, VERTEX_ROTATE and VERTEX_SHEAR modify inflate vectors.Split Vertex attribute array into two (the one modified by preapply effects and the one not)
Progress with the Predeform app; deepCopy for the Meshes; various fixes.
A lot of changes.
1) main vertex shader: remove support for degree_object. This functionality will hopefully come back when we introduce other than circular regions.2) MeshBase: remove the need to set a Bounding box (this is the point of the whole thing - we wanted to get rid of this so that the advances in MeshJoined will be easier)...
Move the Effects.setStretch to Meshbase.setStretch
Move the 'pre-multiply mesh before applying any effects' thing from [(Xsize of texture, Ysize of texture) x Mesh's zFactor] to Effects.setStretch(sx,sy,sz)
Making the Dialogs more consistent.
Correct the Legal notice.
Rename all the classes that are not exported to application to 'Internal'
Fixes for some stuff discovered while making the Distort effect fully 3D:
- make MeshSphere's normal lengths be 1 (used to be 0.5)- make the Effect3D app display precise values of the Center and Region vars.
Progress with the Earth app.
Simplify MeshSphere by deriving it not from a regular icosahedron (which has a problem of a wiggly seam line at the 'change of date' in the back of the sphere) but something that at the back has a straight vertical border between triangles: a diamond-like 16-faced solid.
Sphere: map the texture a bit better around the seam and the poles.
Fix (hopefully the last!) probelm with texturing the Sphere: the seam in the back.
One more improvement with texturing the Sphere.
Still one problem with texturing remains.
Further fix for the Sphere. Now hopefully only the texture mapping is wrong.
Some fixes for Sphere; still not completely ok though.
Add support for MeshSphere (add ability to display it in the 'Effects3D' and 'Inflate' apps).Still a bit buggy!
