We can not rely on edit->psys, it is not set for particle edit,
and there is some logic deeper inside which does different things
dependent on that.
We need to replace those checks with some some HAIR vs. PARTICLES
flag and always set psys pointer.
The idea is that edit mode structure is owned by original object,
and used for drawing. This is a bit confusing, especially since
path cache is also in that structure and needs evaluated object
to calculate cache.
In the future we should split edit data from visualization data,
but that's bigger refactor.
Bone selection overlay is only available in pose mode.
and when active overrules the selection buffer.
This is currently `tricked` by switching the draw engines, but this is
an exception. Not sure how to solve this in a better way.
After this is solved we can look at how to localize the dim effect to only the objects connected to the active armatures. Currently it dims the whole screen (including background).
@campbellbarton I added you as reviewer as it you have done a lot in the DRW_draw_select_loop

Gets edit more from the current object and displays it as a path.
this is how both hair and particle edit modes are supposed to work.
This only covers path itself, it doesn't do anything like keys
visualization or selection. However, it's already possible to
comb and such.
Only implements particle mode. There are also some settings to
do soft body and cloth. No idea yet what that all is about.
Copy-on-write is not supported either, this is due to some
edit mode ownership problems which are to be addressed from
dependency graph side.
Shading is dead-simple: uses tangent as a color. This is where
i hope to get some help from Clément.
The actual code is a bit convoluted but allows good and "pseudo efficient"
drawing. (pseudo efficient because rendering instances with that amount of
vertices is really inneficient. We should go full procedural but need to
have bufferTexture implemented first) But drawing speed is not a bottleneck
here and it's already a million time less crappy than the old (2.79) immediate
mode method.
Instead of drawing actual wires with different width we render a triangle
fan batch (containing 3 fans: bone, head, tail) which is then oriented in
screen space to the bone direction. We then interpolate a float value
accross vertices giving us a nice blend factor to blend the colors and
gives us really smooth interpolation inside the bone.
The outside edge still being geometry will be antialiased by MSAA if enabled.
In object mode, the axes are drawn like any other wire objects with
depth test and depth write. Thus enabling MSAA to work but not their xray
behaviour.
In edit armature/pose mode, draw smooth line without depth testing. This
produces wrong draw ordering problem but still gives the desired xray
behaviour. We do it outside of the MSAA pass since the xray behaviour is not
compatible with it. But we are drawing smoothed lines so no need for MSAA.
The lines are 2px thick and improve readability.
Now the axes are displayed correctly at the tip of the bone and with the
axes names.
I've made some modifications though:
- Axes are colored. (should not be in object mode but that's TODO)
- Axes ends are not flat arrows anymore. Replaced with a small diamond.
- Axes names are now scale by their respective axes instead of being
affected by other axes.
- Changed axes names "font" to be a bit more sexy.
This will enable us to do more nice stuff in future commits.
This commit is a temporary commit, it will compile but will crash if
trying to display any armature. Next commit does work.
For some we may add per object overrides, but for most we plan to keep them
strictly per viewport settings. Display settings from the mesh still need to
be moved here, only collections were done to remove that code.
The actual weighting calculation is not smooth as the bone display.
The bone itself can be smooth for esthetic purpose but the distance display
should match the underlying weighting formula.
Past shader was too slow and had bad artifacts. This method is much simpler
and eficient and only exhibit some popping when the raidus of the head/tail
is changed.
We now use a more pleasant and efficient way to display enveloppe bones
and their radius.
For this we use a capsule geometry that is displaced (in the vertex shader)
to a signed distance field that represents the bone shape.
The bone distance radius are now drawn in 3D using a "pseudo-fresnel" effect.
This gives a better understanding of what is inside the radius of influence.
When capsules are not needed, we switch to default raytraced points.
The capsules are not distorded by the bone's matrix (same as their actual
influence radius) and are correctly displayed even with complex scaled
parents hierarchy.
