This brings some data structure changes.
Shared shadow data are stored in ShadowData (in glsl) (aka EEVEE_Shadow in C).
This structure contains the array indices of the first shadow element of this shadow "object".
It also contains how many shadow to evaluate (to be used for Multiple shadow maps).
The filtering is noisy and needs improvement.
Re-use operator return flags for manipulator modal & invoke,
this means manipulators can allow navigation or other events to be
handled as they run - see T52499
This exposes 2 methods for manipulators:
- new_custom_shape
- draw_custom_shape
This can be used for script authors to create and re-use shapes
without dealing with lower level API's.
It's purpose is to limit the amount of light that spread across the screen.
Not entierly sure if it's very usefull, but it sure help to avoid to drown the screen in bloom.
Since we started supporting the (Cycles) Material Output old files
stopped working. There is no reason to keep the original Eevee material
otuput anymore.
It includes doversion for old files.
This includes big improvement:
- The horizon search is decoupled from the BSDF evaluation. This means using multiple BSDF nodes have a much lower impact when enbaling AO.
- The horizon search is optimized by splitting the search into 4 corners searching similar directions to help which GPU cache coherence.
- The AO options are now uniforms and do not trigger shader recompilation (aka. freeze UI).
- Include a quality slider similar to the SSR one.
- Add a switch for disabling bounce light approximation.
- Fix problem with Bent Normals when occlusion get very dark.
- Add a denoise option to that takes the neighbors pixel values via glsl derivatives. This reduces noise but exhibit 2x2 blocky artifacts.
The downside : Separating the horizon search uses more memory (~3MB for each samples on HD viewport). We could lower the bit depth to 4bit per horizon but it produce noticeable banding (might be fixed with some dithering).
This patch adds "Pixel Size" to the performance options, which allows to render
in a smaller resolution, which is especially useful for displays with high DPI.

Own previous fix (rBd5d626df236b) was not valid, curves are actually
supported by SoftBodies. It was rather a mere UI bug, which was not
including Surfaces and Font obect types in those valid for softbody UI.
Thanks to @brecht for the head up!
Also, fix safe for 2.79, btw.
Adds thin/default/thick modes to add -1/0/1 to the auto detected line width,
while leaving the overall UI scale unchanged.
Also tweaks the default line width threshold, so thicker lines start from
slightly high UI scales.
