This automasking option protects the open boundary edges of the mesh from the brush deformation. This is needed to sculpt cloths and it works nicely with the cloth brush.
It has a Propagation Steps property that controls the falloff of the mask from the edge.
Limitations:
- The automask is recalculated at the beginning of each stroke, creating a little bit of lag in high poly meshes, but it is not necessary. This can be fixed in the future by caching the edge distances, increasing a little bit the complexity of the code.
- The boundary vertex detection in meshes is not ideal and it fails with triangulated geometry, but it is the same as in the smooth brush. After fixing this, we should refactor the smooth brush to use the API and let the automasking option manually control the affected vertices.
- It does not work in Multires (it needs to be implemented in the API). The smooth brush in Multires is also not making boundary vertices.
- The falloff has a visible line artifact on grid patterns. We can smooth the final automasking factors several iterations, but it will make the initialization much slower. This can also be added in the future if we decided to cache the distances.

Since hair collisions were integrated with the cloth solver
(rBd42a7bbd6ea5), there are a couple of relevant settings which were not
exposed to the User:
- Collision Quality
- Minimum Distance (this was reported in T73842, default of 0.015m was
still limiting in certain scenarios - this can now be made smaller)
- Impulse clamping
- Collision collection
This will add a 'Collisions' panel to Hair Dynamics with those settings
Note: in contrast to 'real' cloth, self-collisions are not supported for
hair

Face Sets are the new system to control the visibility state of the mesh in sculpt and paint modes. They are designed to work in modes where brushes are the primary way of interaction and they provide much more control when working with meshes with complex shapes and overlapping surfaces.
This initial commit includes:
- Sculpt Face Sets data structures and PBVH rendering.
- Face Set overlay and opacity controls.
- Sculpt Undo support.
- Remesher reprojection support. The visibility state of the mesh is also preserved when remeshing.
- Automasking and Mesh filter support.
- Mask expand operator mode to expand Face Sets (Shift + W) and flood fill areas by connectivity (press Ctrl while expanding).
- Sculpt Mode Face Sets and Visibility API.
- Sculpt Face Sets creation and visibility management operators.
- Operator to randomize the Face Sets colors.
- Draw Face Sets brush tool to create and edit the Face Sets. Drawing on the mesh creates a new Face Set. Pressing Ctrl before drawing modifies the Face Set under the brush at the beginning of the stroke.
- Updated keymap and menu to work with Face Sets from Sculpt Mode (H to toggle visibility, Alt + H to show all, Shit + H to hide).
- Pie menu on the W key with Face common Sets operations.
Know limitations:
- Multires support. The Face Sets and Visibility API needs to be implemented for Multires.

This was raised in T74017, the issue being that we point to `/dev`

Instead of manually updating the URL every release we can do this.

When running with debug enabled ('-d' argument),
warnings are printed for add-ons which are not yet updated.
Reminder to name things based on what they do,
not the technologies they use :)
The hardness property moves the brush falloff towards the edges, making
the brush sharper.
This should be the intended way to control the brush falloff instead of
tweaking the falloff curve manually, as it can be mapped to pressure to
make the falloff variable during the stroke.
It is also a good idea to show in the UI that the custom curves is an
advance features and it should almost never be modified when sculpting/
painting unless you want to create some advanced effects. By modifying
the curves freely it is really easy to break the brushes and make them
produce artifacts. This needs to be done in a later after merging the
pending projects to reorganize all the brush properties accordingly.

This brush has a simple physics solver that helps when sculpting cloth.
- The mass and the damping properties of the simulation are properties of the brush.
- It has two additional radius control to limit the influence and falloff of the simulation.
- Masked vertices are pinned in the simulation, and it applies the sculpt gravity directly in the solver.
- The Cloth Brush has 7 deformation modes with 2 falloff types (radial and plane).
The brush can create the constraints only on the required PBVH nodes, so the simulation is isolated on high poly meshes. As long
as the brush size is not too big it should be possible to keep it real time.
Known issues:
- The way constraints are created is extremely basic and it creates repeated constraints. Maybe there is another way to create fewer constraints while keeping the simulation quality decent. This part can also be multithreaded. (As it is it works ok, but it could be better)

UI
Main issue is that the UI doesn not respect the Unified Weight/Strength
setting (but instead alwasy shows the brushes weight/strength)
Was working before, but somewhat missed in rBfb74dcc5d69d.
See discussion in T74025 on why the Gradient Tool in its current state
is not very user friendly in general, what I think we should do though
is at least have the values in the UI respect Unified Weight / Unified
Strength since this is what the tool will use internally...

This is using the GGX probe as background. This has the drawback of
having the resolution choosed in the indirect lighting setting.
The blurring is not really high-quality.
The pros is that it has a simple implementation and is fast to evaluate.

default background color in the correct color space. Removing one colorspace
