Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections).

When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Spreadsheet: breadcrumbs and node pinning This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access. The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances, the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context. This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at a specific node. The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an open spreadsheet editor. Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor. Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different nodes. The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now. This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

Curves: support deforming curves on surface Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode). The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like subdivision. The following features are added: * A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set in the properties panel. * A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked, a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes. * The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest position attribute is added to the surface. * A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To` (ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the surface object as parent. Limitations: * Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately. * The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into a node group. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14864

Geometry Nodes: viewport preview This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry" bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry. **Activation and deactivation of a viewer node** * A viewer node is activated by clicking on it. * Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and makes it active. * Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer. * When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated. * Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether its active or not. **Pinning** * The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before. When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even when it becomes inactive. * The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows the active viewer. **Attribute** * When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is displayed as an overlay in the viewport. * When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When necessary, the domain can be picked manually. * The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain that is selected in the Viewer node. * Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance. **Viewport Options** * The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node" setting in the overlays popover. * A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu. **Implementation Details** * The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that is used in more places now. * The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute. * A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer` attribute. * The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active viewer from there unless they are pinned. * The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set, the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator instead of the final evaluated geometry. * To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay. * The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make existing links to viewers active again. * The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the "preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one preferred domain, the fallback is used. Known limitations: * Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be added separately if necessary. * Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example, the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays. For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions. Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well. * There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: viewport preview This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry" bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry. **Activation and deactivation of a viewer node** * A viewer node is activated by clicking on it. * Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and makes it active. * Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer. * When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated. * Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether its active or not. **Pinning** * The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before. When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even when it becomes inactive. * The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows the active viewer. **Attribute** * When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is displayed as an overlay in the viewport. * When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When necessary, the domain can be picked manually. * The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain that is selected in the Viewer node. * Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance. **Viewport Options** * The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node" setting in the overlays popover. * A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu. **Implementation Details** * The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that is used in more places now. * The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute. * A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer` attribute. * The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active viewer from there unless they are pinned. * The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set, the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator instead of the final evaluated geometry. * To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay. * The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make existing links to viewers active again. * The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the "preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one preferred domain, the fallback is used. Known limitations: * Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be added separately if necessary. * Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example, the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays. For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions. Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well. * There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

#include "ED_viewer_path.hh"
Spreadsheet: breadcrumbs and node pinning This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access. The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances, the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context. This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at a specific node. The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an open spreadsheet editor. Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor. Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different nodes. The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now. This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

Curves: support deforming curves on surface Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode). The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like subdivision. The following features are added: * A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set in the properties panel. * A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked, a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes. * The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest position attribute is added to the surface. * A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To` (ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the surface object as parent. Limitations: * Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately. * The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into a node group. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14864

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: show "Show Texture in texture tab" button This enables the quick access button [to show the relevant Texture in the Properties Editor] for textures used in geometry nodes. This goes in line to what we do for other textures: - modifier textures have this button - particle textures have this button - brush textures will soon have it, too (see D9813) When outside of the Properties Editor, the button will always show (if a texture is actually assigned), but will be inactive if no suiting Properties Editor to show the texture in can be found. Note this also changes the behavior to not show the button if _no_ texture is assigned (as in: we are still showing the "New" button). Previously it was always there (e.g. for modifier textures), even if it would take us to an empty texture tab. (Sure, we could add a texture there then, but imho it makes more sense to just start showing it once a texture is already there) For this to work with geometry nodes, the following chages were done: - implement foreachTexLink for geonode modifiers - new buttons_texture_user_node_property_add() that stores prop as well as node - also use NODE_ACTIVE_TEXTURE flag in geometry nodetrees notes: - this still uses the first suiting (as in: pinning does not interfere) Properties Editor it finds, this should (maybe?) find the _closest_ Property Editor instead (see related feedback in D9813). - this will already show the button for brush textures as well (disabled), but there is another mandatory change in an upcomming commit to make it work there as well (see D9813) ref.

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Spreadsheet: breadcrumbs and node pinning This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access. The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances, the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context. This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at a specific node. The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an open spreadsheet editor. Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor. Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different nodes. The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now. This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Geometry Nodes: use lazy evaluation in repeat zone The goal is to make the evaluation of repeat zones more efficient by making use of the lazy-function evaluation system. Performance is improved in two ways: * Unnecessary nodes are not evaluated anymore. E.g. if a repeat zone outputs two geometries but only one of those is actually used, the other one will not be computed anymore. * Support evaluating different iteration indices at the same time on different threads. It is possible that some uses of repeat zones become slower with this refactor, especially when each iteration does very little work and there are a lot of iterations. The old implementation was not optimized for this use case either but now there is a bit more overhead constant overhead per iteration than before. On the bright side, this change can result in some very significant speedups when some computations can be skipped. See #112421 for some example setups. There is one todo comment for adding back-links for socket usages. Properly linking those up can result in better (shorter) life-times for anonymous attributes. Even without that, performance is already better than before. The implementation reuses the existing lazy-function graph system for the repeat zone, by building a dynamically sized graph based on the number of iterations. Building a lazy-function graph makes it possible to use the lazyness and multi-threading features of the lazy-function graph executor. This is much easier than reimplementing this behavior for repeat zones specifically (hence there was only single-threaded eager execution before).

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Geometry Nodes: viewport preview This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry" bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry. **Activation and deactivation of a viewer node** * A viewer node is activated by clicking on it. * Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and makes it active. * Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer. * When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated. * Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether its active or not. **Pinning** * The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before. When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even when it becomes inactive. * The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows the active viewer. **Attribute** * When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is displayed as an overlay in the viewport. * When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When necessary, the domain can be picked manually. * The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain that is selected in the Viewer node. * Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance. **Viewport Options** * The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node" setting in the overlays popover. * A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu. **Implementation Details** * The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that is used in more places now. * The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute. * A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer` attribute. * The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active viewer from there unless they are pinned. * The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set, the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator instead of the final evaluated geometry. * To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay. * The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make existing links to viewers active again. * The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the "preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one preferred domain, the fallback is used. Known limitations: * Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be added separately if necessary. * Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example, the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays. For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions. Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well. * There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`.

This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes.

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking.

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: add simulation support This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new `Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation state from one frame to the next. A new simulation zone can be added via the menu (`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search. The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently, field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets. The simulation nodes behave as follows: * On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the simulation zone is still evaluated. * On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it is cached and forwarded. * On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return the previously cached data directly. It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into the simulation zone without problems though. Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future, even if the simulation is in a nested node group. There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added separately. All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937 describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into the .blend file is not yet supported. The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but invalidated by user-changes. Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their `bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where "dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot.

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Geometry Nodes: refactor simulation storage and how simulation nodes access it Goals of the refactor: * Internal support for baking individual simulation zones (not exposed in the UI yet). * More well-defined access to simulation data in geometry nodes. Especially, it should be more obvious where data is modified. A similar approach should also work for the Bake node. Previously, there were a bunch of simulation specific properties in `GeoNodesModifierData` and then the simulation input and output nodes would have to figure out what to do with that data. Now, there is a new `GeoNodesSimulationParams` which controls the behavior of simulation zones. Contrary to before, different simulation zones can now be handled independently, even if that is not really used yet. `GeoNodesSimulationParams` has to be subclassed by a user of the geometry nodes API. The subclass controls what each simulation input and output node does. This some of the logic that was part of the node before, into the modifier. The way we store simulation data is "transposed". Previously, we stored zone data per frame, but now we store frame data per zone. This allows different zones to be more independent. Consequently, the way the simulation cache is accessed changed. I kept things simpler for now, avoiding many of the methods we had before, and directly accessing the data more often which is often simple enough. This change also makes it theoretically possible to store baked data for separate zones independently. A downside of this is, that existing baked data can't be read anymore. We don't really have compatibility guarantees for this format yet, so it's ok. Users will have to bake again. The bake folder for the modifier now contains an extra subfolder for every zone. Drawing the cached/baked frames in the timeline is less straight forward now. Currently, it just draws the state of one of the zones, which usually is identical to that of all other zones. This will change in the future though, and then the timeline drawing also needs some new UI work. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/111623

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all.

Nodes: Panels integration with blend files and UI Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272 Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API. This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group interface declarations in particular. The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts 1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit completes the integration by * enabling the new RNA API * using the new API in UI * read/write new interfaces from blend files * add versioning for backward compatibility * add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy is used. Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning (inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward compatibility of existing files. The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly. Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating will be added. A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items between different levels. This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a later PR (#108565).

Geometry Nodes: initial scattering and geometry nodes This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch. Nodes: * Attribute Math * Boolean * Edge Split * Float Compare * Object Info * Point Distribute * Point Instance * Random Attribute * Random Float * Subdivision Surface * Transform * Triangulate It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier. Notes on the Generic attribute access API The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits: * Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally. This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs such as vertex positions. * When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not actually implemented yet). Other possible improvements for later iterations include: * Actually implement interpolation between domains. * Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection. * Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors. It includes commits from: * Dalai Felinto * Hans Goudey * Jacques Lucke * Léo Depoix

Nodes: Panels integration with blend files and UI Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272 Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API. This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group interface declarations in particular. The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts 1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit completes the integration by * enabling the new RNA API * using the new API in UI * read/write new interfaces from blend files * add versioning for backward compatibility * add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy is used. Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning (inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward compatibility of existing files. The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly. Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating will be added. A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items between different levels. This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a later PR (#108565).

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Nodes: Panels integration with blend files and UI Part 3/3 of #109135, #110272 Switch to new node group interfaces and deprecate old DNA and API. This completes support for panels in node drawing and in node group interface declarations in particular. The new node group interface DNA and RNA code has been added in parts 1 and 2 (#110885, #110952) but has not be enabled yet. This commit completes the integration by * enabling the new RNA API * using the new API in UI * read/write new interfaces from blend files * add versioning for backward compatibility * add forward-compatible writing code to reconstruct old interfaces All places accessing node group interface declarations should now be using the new API. A runtime cache has been added that allows simple linear access to socket inputs and outputs even when a panel hierarchy is used. Old DNA has been deprecated and should only be accessed for versioning (inputs/outputs renamed to inputs_legacy/outputs_legacy to catch errors). Versioning code ensures both backward and forward compatibility of existing files. The API for old interfaces is removed. The new API is very similar but is defined on the `ntree.interface` instead of the `ntree` directly. Breaking change notifications and detailed instructions for migrating will be added. A python test has been added for the node group API functions. This includes new functionality such as creating panels and moving items between different levels. This patch does not yet contain panel representations in the modifier UI. This has been tested in a separate branch and will be added with a later PR (#108565).

Geometry Nodes: new evaluation system This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the user are expected. At a high level the goals are: * Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier. * Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation. * Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes. * Support doing preprocessing on node groups. For more details see T98492. There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview for how it works now: * There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation. Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can again be used in a graph etc. * Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation. To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are no longer inlined into their parents. Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all. This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge node tree anymore. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15914

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data. While writing back to original data is something we do in some cases already, the situation here is different, because we are actually creating new relations between data-blocks. This also means that we'll have to do user-counting. Since user counts in data-blocks are *not* atomic, we can't do that from multiple threads at the same time. Also, under some circumstances, it may be necessary to trigger depsgraph evaluation again after the write-back because it actually affects the result. To solve this, a small new API is added in `DEG_depsgraph_writeback_sync.hh`. It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation. Therefore, the used data-blocks have to referenced in a different way at run-time. This is solved by adding `std::unique_ptr<bake::BakeMaterialsList>` to the run-time data of various geometry data-blocks. If the data-block is cached over a longer period of time (such that material pointers can't be used directly), it stores the material name (+ library name) used by each material slot. When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking. The user can change what data-block a specific name is mapped to. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/117043

Geometry Nodes: new Bake node This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries. Typical use cases we want address with this currently are: * Bake some data for use with a render engine. * Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance. For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format. It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames. The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation wise). Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: support baking data block references With this patch, materials are kept intact in simulation zones and bake nodes without any additional user action. This implements the design proposed in #108410 to support referencing data-blocks (only materials for now) in the baked data. The task also describes why this is not a trivial issue. A previous attempt was implemented in #109703 but it didn't work well-enough. The solution is to have an explicit `name (+ library name) -> data-block` mapping that is stored in the modifier for each bake node and simulation zone. The `library name` is necessary for it to be unique within a .blend file. Note that this refers to the name of the `Library` data-block and not a file path. The baked data only contains the names of the used data-blocks. When the baked data is loaded, the correct material data-block is looked up from the mapping. ### Automatic Mapping Generation The most tricky aspect of this approach is to make it feel mostly automatic. From the user point-of-view, it should just work. Therefore, we don't want the user to have to create the mapping manually in the majority of cases. Creating the mapping automatically is difficult because the data-blocks that should become part of the mapping are only known during depsgraph evaluation. So we somehow have to gather the missing data blocks during evaluation and then write the new mappings back to the original data.

It allows gathering tasks which write back to original data in a synchronous way which may also require a reevaluation. ### Accessing the Mapping A new `BakeDataBlockMap` is passed to geometry nodes evaluation by the modifier. This map allows getting the `ID` pointer that should be used for a specific data-block name that is stored in baked data. It's also used to gather all the missing data mappings during evaluation. ### Weak ID References The baked/cached geometries may have references to other data-blocks (currently only materials, but in the future also e.g. instanced objects/collections). However, the pointers of these data-blocks are not stable over time. That is especially true when storing/loading the data from disk, but also just when playing back the animation.

When the geometry is used again, the material pointers are restored using these weak name references and the `BakeDataBlockMap`. ### Manual Mapping Management There is a new `Data-Blocks` panel in the bake settings in the node editor sidebar that allows inspecting and modifying the data-blocks that are used when baking.

Major differences are: * The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode. * The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching. Implementation details: * Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also makes sense for non-zones. * The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and `BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data. * For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output. * Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using `DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the `DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches which shouldn't happen here. * Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though. * The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the code easier to follow compared to the previous nested `ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure. * The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly). * The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and `Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes). * The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes. For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected. * Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes. Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations): * Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation. * Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo. * Improve error handling when baked data is not found. * Show bake node in link drag search. * Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Geometry Nodes: initial scattering and geometry nodes This is the initial merge from the geometry-nodes branch. Nodes: * Attribute Math * Boolean * Edge Split * Float Compare * Object Info * Point Distribute * Point Instance * Random Attribute * Random Float * Subdivision Surface * Transform * Triangulate It includes the initial evaluation of geometry node groups in the Geometry Nodes modifier. Notes on the Generic attribute access API The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits: * Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally. This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs such as vertex positions. * When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not actually implemented yet). Other possible improvements for later iterations include: * Actually implement interpolation between domains. * Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection. * Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
