[Bf-committers] Subsurf + UVmap, an alternative solution

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Brecht,

Code for getting the subsurfed vertex coordinates of the original  
vertices is not that easy. You cannot use the callback getVertexCos()  
because it won't exist for subsurfs (the vertexco array then would be a  
mix of original and new vertices anyway).

Instead Daniel coded a callback system, I use that for example for  
weightpaint and vertexpaint like this function;

src/vpaint.c
static float *get_mapped_verts_nors(Object *ob, int totvert)

This can be copied for doing the LSCM as well.

Now we should also note that the API for derivedMesh is a bit unclear  
at the moment... the calls are too much low level, and not always clear  
what they do. Hopefully Daniel has some time later to clarify issues.  
:)
A call like I mention above could be in DerivedMesh.c, so it can be  
used by all calls in Blender needing these coords (particles need it  
too).
