generator with a local one. It's not thread safe and will not give repeatable
results, so in most cases it should not be used.
Also fixes#34992 where the noise texture of a displacement modifier was not
properly random in opengl animation render, because the seed got reset to a
fixed value by an unrelated function while for final render it changed each
frame.
Code is added to restrict the pixel size of strands in cycles. It works best with ribbon primitives and a preset for these is included. It uses distance dependent expansion of the strands and then stochastic strand removal to give a fading. To prevent a slowdown for triangle mesh objects in the BVH an extra visibility flag has been added. It is also only applied for camera rays.
The strand width settings are also changed, so that the particle size is not included in the width calculation. Instead there is a separate particle system parameter for width scaling.
active image texture node in the material, now this is removed and the image in
the image editor is decoupled and not changed upon entering edit mode.
This system caused more confusion then it's worth, changing or removing textures
would modify the material but users would often not be aware of this.
this matches closer to convention from existing functions - angle_v3v3() angle_normalized_v3v3().
also added assert to ensure argument given to axis_angle_normalized_to_mat3() is in fact normalized.
To achieve this, some code (callbacks and search button creation) was moved from wm_operators.c to interface/interface.c, and a new UI function was added, uiDefSearchButO_ptr.
Note: This new code uses the fact that uiButHandleFunc callbacks get executed before operator when one of its arg is the button itself!
Many thanks to Campbell who helped me a lot with this patch!
Cleanup: also removed two unused pointers from uiBut struct.
It has much better rotation and avoids the compression effect that old
twist brushes have. Also twisting is now non periodic, meaning you can
twist beyond 180 degrees. The amount of twist is also calculated
relative to the angle formed after first translating the mouse away from
the brush center.
render of objects could slow things down when redrawing the view each time a new
sample is displayed.
Now it does a partial redraw of the viewport with only the render border area,
skipping OpenGL object drawing while the render is refining.
The latest ffmpeg versions include a workaround to deal with a certain
pecularity in Canon DSLR footage: instead of decoding pictures with the
proper resolution of 1920x1080 they decode it with 1920x1088 and add a
black bar at the bottom.
Needless to say, that this screws up things in a lot of areas within blender
(proxy indices, mask animations etc.)
Since all blender versions besides Linux x86 32bit seem still to include
older ffmpeg versions which still contain this bug, this patch adds
a workaround for older versions until we have all versions on all platforms
up to date.

Robustness: Avoid translating the stencil outside the active area. Helps
to avoid losing the stencil somewhere in bitspace.
Usability: Take image repeat mapping and scaling into account when
fitting stencil aspect. Togglable by operator properties.
Freestyle edge marks were messed up with Collision and other physics mesh modifiers.
The issue was due to copied Vlak instances without resetting edge marks to proper values.
Also made minor changes for avoiding unnecessary hash table lookups, and added an
assertion to check potential buffer overrun.
Option to draw mesh vertex-weights in editmode, available from the 'Mesh Display' panel.
TODO: get this to work when modifiers are applied in solid mode (texface-solidmode is working).
As some people have already noticed, the "Add" menu for nodes is a bit messy since pynodes merge. The reason for this is that the order of nodes in submenus (categories) was previously defined by the order in which all nodes are registered (at the bottom of blenkernel/intern/node.c). For the dynamic registration of node types now possible this system of defining node order along with registration is no longer viable: while it would still sort of work for C nodes, it is completely meaningless for dynamic (python) nodes, which are basically registered automatically in whatever order modules and addons are loaded, with the added complexity of unloading and reloading.
To fix this problem and add a bunch of desirable features this commit replaces the C menu with a python implementation. The new menu does not rely on any particular order of types in the node registry, but instead uses a simple explicit list of all the available nodes, grouped by categories (in scripts/nodeitems_builtins.py).
There are a number of additional features that become possible with this implementation:
1) Node Toolbar can be populated!
The list of nodes is used to create 2 UI items for each node: 1 entry in a submenu of "Add" menu and 1 item in a node toolbar panel with basically the same functionality. Clicking a button in the toolbar will add a new node of this type, just like selecting an item in the menu. The toolbar has the advantage of having collapsible panels for each category, so users can decide if they don't need certain nodes categories and have the rest more easily accessible.
2) Each node item is a true operator call.
The old Add menu is a pretty old piece of C code which doesn't even use proper operator buttons. Now there is a generic node_add operator which can be used very flexibly for adding any of the available nodes.
3) Node Items support additional settings.
Each "NodeItem" consists of the basic node type plus an optional list of initial settings that shall be applied to a new instance. This gives additional flexibility for creating variants of the same node or for defining preferred initial settings. E.g. it has been requested to disable previews for all nodes except inputs, this would be simple change in the py code and much less intrusive than in C.
4) Node items can be generated with a function.
A callback can be used in any category instead of the fixed list, which generates a set of items based on the context (much like dynamic enum items in bpy.props). Originally this was implemented for group nodes, because these nodes only make sense when linked to a node tree from the library data. This principle could come in handy for a number of other nodes, e.g. Image nodes could provide a similar list of node variants based on images in the library - no need to first add node, then select an image.
WARNING: pynodes scripters will have to rework their "draw_add_menu" callback in node tree types, this has been removed now! It was already pretty redundant, since one can add draw functions to the Add menu just like for any other menu. In the future i'd like to improve the categories system further so scripters can use it for custom node systems too, for now just make a draw callback and attach it to the Add menu.
If you have two windows, each with different scene, the render output for a window
would go to the other, if it was already drawing a render for the other scene.
Now you can have renders draw correct in two windows for two scenes.
