This check box alters how weights are displayed and painted,
similar to Multi Paint, but in a different way. Specifically,
weights are presented as if all locked vertex groups were
deleted, and the remaining deform groups normalized.
The new feature is intended for use when balancing weights within
a group of bones while all others are locked. Enabling the option
presents weight as if the locked bones didn't exist, and their
weight was proportionally redistributed to the editable bones.
Conversely, the Multi-Paint feature allows balancing a group of
bones as a whole against all unselected bones, while ignoring
weight distribution within the selected group.
This mode also allows temporarily viewing non-normalized weights
as if they were normalized, without actually changing the values.

NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)
This project started as a Google Summer of Code 2019 project - "Core Support of
Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR" (see

RE_engine_register_pass is sometimes in the headers with type
as an integer parameter, sometimes as eNodeSocketDatatype.
This caused warnings, the root cause was makesrna was not able
to generate the proper type for enums and defaulted to int.
makesrna has been extended with the RNA_def_property_enum_native_type
that allows telling makesrna the native type of an enum, if set it
will be used otherwise it will still fall back to int.

The initial code from earlier from today didn't really work reliable
since it is not possible to apply virtual modifiers but not the real
multires one (in a situation like mesh with shapekeys and multires).
New code uses less memory and has better performance for the case
when there are actual modifiers leading the multires. The case when
there is only multires will not be as performant as possible at this
moment.
The parenting was using the old logic, but with new engine the draw is done using eval data.
Fixed the depsgraph relationship missing with bones to get an update when the bone is transformed.
Also fixed Snap cursor to Selected
BKE_ocean.h uses the bool type without including stdbool.h
counting on someone else including that before it.
With D6811 enabling automatic sorting of the includes
this can no longer be counted on. This changes includes
stdbool.h in BKE_ocean.h so it can build without being
depended on others including the right headers before it.
Fix crash when the operator search is used while no active object exists. The cause of the issue is an attempt to dereference `ob` when it is `NULL`. Therefore this patch checks the return value of `SCULPT_mode_poll()` first, to ensure that `ob` isn't `NULL`.

The code would have break the first (deform only) modifiers
once the index is reached, but it will not prevent second
loop (over remaining modifiers) from run.
This was applying deform modifier twice in some conditions:
having single deform modifier and calculating deformed mesh
up to the first modifier (index=0).
Use full argument name.
Also order arguments in the generosity order: from depsgraph
(which has everything) to object (which contains multires)
specific multires modifier.
The feature is hidden behind an experimental option, you'll have to
enable it in the preferences to try it.
This feature is not yet considered fully stable, crashes may happen, as
well as .blend file corruptions (very unlikely, but still possible).
In a nutshell, the ideas behind this code are to:
* Detect unchanged IDs across an undo step.
* Reuse as much as possible existing IDs memory, even when its content
did change.
* Re-use existing depsgraphs instead of building new ones from scratch.
* Store accumulated recalc flags, to avoid needless re-compute of things
that did not change, when the ID itself is detected as modified.
See T60695 and D6580 for more technical details.
Unreported Crash. When hidden faces are active (retopology) the depth
test could fail as the default framebuffers aren't set. This patch will
check if we are rendering a depth only and skip the clearing of the
buffer.
With this change baking jobs will be aborted faster. The user will not have to wait for the current frame to finish baking. The bake job will exit early and discard the incomplete frame.
This option existed already and was just hidden in the UI. With the new fluids system though, it will only be used for rendering - and not to optimize the cache.
Extract will steal all depsgraphs currently stored in given bmain, and
restore will put them back in place, using scene and viewlayers as keys.
Preliminary work for undo-speedup.
Part of T60695/D6580.
Mask extract modifies the topology when adding the boundary loop, so
previous face sets may not be correct in the new mesh. Remove the face
sets datalayer and let sculpt mode rebuild it when entering sculpt mode
in the new object.

The previous behaivour didn't make sense as sculpt mode was still active
when switching to the new object, so it was rendering inconrrectly.

Small UX fix. When hidding everything but the active face set with H,
the last stroke lotation center can be in a part of the model that is
hidden, so viewport navigation becomes confusing until you start a new
stroke on the visible face set. Now the viewport navigation rotation
center is updated to the active vertex when using a visibility operation
that uses it, so it always rotates using the visible face set as the
origin.

`ANIM_animdata_update()` did not sort grease pencil frames. A
pre-existing comment stated this wouldn't be necessary as
`posttrans_gpd_clean()` already does this. However, this is only
applicable when the change is performed via the transform system. The
mirror operator doesn't call `posttrans_gpd_clean()`, invalidating the
assumption in the comment.
I moved the sorting code into `BKE_gpencil_layer_frames_sort()`, which
is now called from both `ANIM_animdata_update()` and
`posttrans_gpd_clean()`.
This patch fixes various problems of alignment and element backdrops for
the animation channels drawing, mainly in the Graph editor but also for
grease pencil and mask layers in the Dope Sheet.
