It's usefull in some scenario to tweak the specular intensity of a light
without modifying the diffuse contribution.
Cycles allows it via lamps material which we currently not support in Eevee.
This is a good workaround for now.
The asserts were introduced on rB5f6c45498c92 (top-bar).
Although the asserts are technically correct, they would fail even in master.
And the commit simply added the asserts without fixing the situation itself
(as you can see in the report, it is really simple to reproduce this issue).
I propose we remove the asserts and bring them back only when the situation
itself is fixed. It doesn't make sense to introduce asserts that would fail
with the current state of the code.
This was a hard to reproduce bug, but it happens often enough.
Basically the tooltip of the active tool was been invoked when
context had no valid ScrArea which would lead to a crash.
We now just return no tooltip in these cases.
There are various values which depends on context in there, for example
current driver value and original DNA value f-curve is applied for.
This partially fixes issue with not being able to tweak keyed values
when material preview is open.
The material preview is not being currently updated against non-keyed
changes since every tweak of material property does full preview scene
depsgraph evaluation.
Now they are properly converted to Linear space before interpolation.
Since the only way to get vertex color in eevee and cycles is via the
attribute node with the CD_AUTO_FROM_NAME flag, we have to know at binding
time which type of buffer will be connected to this auto input.
We store this information inside the batch cache (together with the according
uniform name) and pass it as uniform to the shader which does conversion if
needed. The same shader can then be reused to draw another mesh with
different auto layers configuration.
This introduces `BKE_mesh_to_bmesh_ex()`, which exposes all of the
`BMeshFromMeshParams` parameters to the caller. This is required to enable
the `calc_face_normal` flag, which is required for the Bevel modifier.
This also introduces `BKE_bmesh_to_mesh()`, which allocates a new `Mesh`,
converts the `BMesh` to it, and returns it. The returned mesh is owned by
the caller.
- ability to switch between Single Color, Object Color, Material Color
and Random Color
- fixed Shading and Lighting popover
- Renamed Solid -> Single Color
Note: As already commented in the code, the ideal solution would
be to pass select mode as parameter to ED_view3D_backbuf_validate.
Without that we have to resort to the hack solution of writing to
evaluation data.
This matches the new convention for left-handed mode selectors,
however we're still undecided on exactly how this should work.
For now test this out as a convention for all space types.
The contents of the ModifierEvalContext struct are constant while iterating
over the modifier stack. The struct thus should be only created once, outside
any loop over the modifiers.
