Fix outliner related crashes. Basically in some functions bContext was
not passed around, so CTX_data_scene_layer(C) was crashing.
Right now we still rely on ob->flag SELECT in some places. In order to use the base flag we will need to bring back the Bases to the outliner.
(and replace more instances of BaseLegacy/scene->base with Base/sl->object_bases)
Still need mouse selection, box selection, and menu selection
Also, there is still a problem with BA_WAS_SEL, at the moment only the
objects centers are highlighted.
Speedup is mainly gained by multi-threading. Gives about 3x
fps gain on an edit shot file.
There is still some room for improvements, will happen in one
of the upcoming commits.
Every time:
* A collection settings is set
* A collection visibility changes
* An object is added/removed/ ...
We need to recalculate the "accumulated" CollectionEngineSettings that
the render engine should use for an object.
This is to be handled by the depsgraph. Meanwhile this code should allow
us to start using those settings in the render engines.
Note: We are storing this in the objects, which means we can only have
one active calculated option every time.
This is intended to get the conversation with the Depsgraph department
going.
Derived mesh for particles did not include tessellated faces when it
was expected to. Now added explicit function to copy CDDM with tess
faces without need to re-tessellate the result.
Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.
Implemented Features
--------------------
* Clay Render Engine, following the new API, to be used as reference for
future engines
* A more complete Matcap customization with more options
* Per-Collection render engine settings
* New Ground Truth AO - not enabled
Missing Features
----------------
* Finish object edit mode
- Fix shaders to use new matrix
- Fix artifacts when edge does off screen
- Fix depth issue
- Selection sillhouette
- Mesh wires
- Use mesh normals (for higher quality matcap)

* Finish mesh edit mode
- Derived-Mesh-less edit mode API (mesh_rende.c)
* General edit mode
- Per-collection edit mode settings

- Per-collection engine settings
(they are their, but they still need to be flushed by depsgraph, and
used by the drawing code)
Design Documents
----------------

* https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Source/DataDesignRevised
User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

No reason to not make this private to this file, and it gave conflict
when using bpy as module and loading it in a GLib application (which
also has a g_atexit var).
Instead of reference the vertex first and test the bitmap afterwards. Test the bitmap first and reference the vertex after.
In a mesh with 31146 vertices and the entire bitmap disabled, the loop time is 243% faster
With all bitmap enabled, the time becomes 463473% faster!!!
One possible reason for this huge difference in peformance is that maybe the compiler is not putting the function "BM_vert_at_index" inline (I dont know if buildbot do this, but it's good to investigate).
BKE_lamp_free was somehow missing the refactor of datablocks handling
(which, among other things, completely separated ID refcounting and
linking management from ID freeing itself).
Either forgot during development, or lost during merge...
Tricky issue caused by CDDM_copy() coying MFACE array but not MTFACE which
confused logic later on.
Now we don't copy ANY tessellation unless it is requested to.
Thanks Bastien for help and review!
Better to have clear way to tell whether flag is parameter for
BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), parameter for its callback function, or
return value from this callback function.
The previous solution took arbitrary values to determine if the mouse was near or not to the Bound Box (it simply scaled the Bound Box).
Now the same function that detected the distance from the BVHTree nodes to the mouse is used in the Bound Box
Use new Main->relations ID usages mapping in BKE_library_make_local().
This allows a noticeable simplification in code, and can be up to twice
quicker as previous code (Make Local: All from 2 to 1 minute e.g. in a
huge production file with thousands of linked data-blocks).
Note that new code has been successfuly tested with several complex cases
(production files from Agent327), as well as some testcases from recent
bug reports related to that function. But as always, nothing beats real
usage by real users, so please check this before we release 2.79. ;)
Main areas that would be affected: Make Local operations (L shortcut in
3DView), and append from libraries.
Use Main->relations in BKE_library_foreach_ID_link(), when possible
(i.e. IDWALK_READONLY is set), and if the data is available of course.
This is quite minor optimization, no sensible improvements are expected,
but does not hurt either to avoid potentially tens of looping over e.g.
objects constraints and modifiers, or heap of drivers...
The new MainIDRelations stores two mappings, one from ID users to ID
used, the other vice-versa.
That data is assumed to be short-living runtime, code creating it is
responsible to clear it asap. It will be much useful in places where we
handle relations between IDs for a lot of them at once.
Note: This commit is not fully functional, that is, the infamous, ugly,
PoS non-ID nodetrees will not be handled correctly when building relations.
Fix needed here is a bit noisy, so will be done in next own commit.
Note: when in edit mode this depsgraph update is not being called. We are using DerivedMesh in those cases, so it is fine. I would like to investigate this though
The freestyle data was never freed when removing a renderlayer.
```
blender -b --factory-startup --debug-memory --python-expr "import bpy;bpy.ops.scene.render_layer_add();bpy.context.scene.render.layers.active_index=0;bpy.ops.scene.render_layer_remove()"
```
This includes a few fixes in the MBC_ api.
The idea here is for this to be the only interface the render engines
will deal with for the meshes.
If we need to expose special options for sculpting engine we refactor
this accordingly. But for now we are shaping this in a per-case base.
Note:
* We still need to hook up to the depsgraph to force clear/update of
batch_cache when mesh changes
(I'm waiting for Sergey Sharybin's depsgraph update for this though)
* Also ideally we could/should use BMesh directly instead of
DerivedMesh, but this will do for now.
Note 2:
In the end I renamed the `BKE_mesh_render` functions to `static
mesh_render`. We can re-expose them as BKE_* later once we need it.
