Details

Description

This project includes the graph editor, dopespheet editor, NLA editor, keyframes, drivers, constraints, armatures, and more.

Status
The module is currently in "Polish++" mode. Existing features of Blender are being polished, and smaller new features are added. The module is quite lively with forthnightly meetings (see below).

Workboard Columns

The workboard is split up into the following columns:

ColumnDescription
BacklogDefault column for new tasks. These tasks were not yet assigned to a column.
Short TermTasks that were chosen to be performed in a short term (ca. 2 weeks) during a module meeting.
BugsBug reports that are intended to be fixed within 6 months.
TODOsConcrete tasks that have been approved and can be picked up by anyone to work on. A maximum of 10 such tasks will be enforced soon.
Known IssuesBug reports that have been confirmed, but which are not actively worked on or expected to be fixed within 6 months.
DesignTasks that have conceptually been approved by the module and need design discussions for UI/UX and code. Such tasks can either be converted to a TODO or spawn one or more TODO sub-tasks. See Ingredients of a Patch, as that list could also help in writing design tasks.
Design done, Low priorityDesign tasks that are pretty much done, but don’t have high priority when it comes to implementing them.
Needs Investigationfor tasks that need investigation to come to a decision whether to actually continue with it or not. This is mostly meant for already-existing tasks that look interesting, but that need an actual time investment before a decision can be made.
Responsibility of Other ModuleTasks that are related to Animation & Rigging, but are expected to be handled by a different module.

Yes, cleaning up/hiding stuff so it doesn't show up when it can't be or doesn't make sense to edit would be good.

So. Much. Better this way.

Just a few inline notes, which don't need any reuploading of the patch. One thing I'm curious about is the parentheses thing. Do you prefer

return (nla_panel_context(C, &ptr, NULL, &strip_ptr) && (ptr.data != NULL) && (ptr.owner_id != strip_ptr.owner_id));

or

return nla_panel_context(C, &ptr, NULL, &strip_ptr) && ptr.data != NULL && ptr.owner_id != strip_ptr.owner_id;

@RedMser (RedMser) would you be willing to go over the operators' redo panels and see how they behave & streamline those a bit? That would then be for a followup patch, and I think it'll be good to then create a task for it to track the work.

Sybren A. Stüvel (sybren) updated subscribers of D14960: Animation: Add redo panel to Dopesheet and NLA.

Conceptually I think this is very good to have. It does expose redo panels that were previously hidden (which is the point), which may not work properly. For example, try pushing down an Action on the NLA stack and then tweaking the channel number -- it'll cause an error popup.

In T97477#1357928, @Amélie Fondevilla (afonde) wrote:

Maybe the solution is to have different behavior within the channels of the ANIMCONT_DOPESHEETto filter channels that dont have F-curves. It seems like it was already discussed as I see some commented code mentioning an ANIMFILTER_CURVESONLY (e.g. transform_convert_action.c:779) which could be used to filter such channel, but it does not seem to be implemented.

My main question is, in order to get this bug fixed, should I go on with this and try to implement this filter

Brad Clark (RiggingDojo) accepted D14964: remove action edited tab from NLA strip select.

Yeah having it removed I think is the right thing, the way I am seeing it work in the video feels good an removes the risk of mistakes of ending up on the wrong tab and trying to fix things that are not strip related.
Approved from the artist side of things.
