Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
Use const pointers to ImageSaveOptions and ImageFormatData for API

Make a copy of ImageFormatData that contains the effective color management
settings, and pass that along to the various functions. This will make it
possible to add more complex logic later.
For compositing nodes, passing along view and display settings through
many functions made it harder to add additional settings, so just get those
from the scene now.

This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

This change will try to add meta data when using a multilayered open
exr file output node in the compositor. It adds the current scene meta
data and converts existing cryptomatte keys so it follows the
naming that is configured in the file output node.
This change supports the basic use-case where the compositor is
used to output cryptomatte layers with a different naming scheme to
support external compositors. In this case the Multilayered OpenEXR
files are used and the meta data is read from the render result.
Meta data is found when render layer node is connected with the
file output node without any other nodes in between. Redirects and empty
node groups are allowed.
The patch has been verified to work with external compositors.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading

Quite straightforward implementation -- all the conversion magic is
happening in IMB_exr_write_channels() and remained changes are only
needed to pass information whether channels is to be converted to
half float or not.
Regular file output will use full-float for Z pass, which matches
behavior of the single layer EXR files. But when saving happens
with File Output node then all the passes are respecting half float
settings because it's not possible to distinguish whether we're
saving Z pass or not.

============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View

This issue is because of a somewhat "special" behavior in old code, which got lost during rB09874df:
There was a variant of the `relinkConnections` function which would leave the socket completely unconnected. This is not a valid state really (given that each unconnected input must otherwise connected to a constant `Set` type node), but was used as a way to distinguish connected alpha/depth sockets in composite and viewer output nodes.
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/compositor/intern/COM_InputSocket.cpp;28a829893c702918afc5ac1945a06eaefa611594$69
After the large cleanup patch ({D309}) every socket is now automatically connected to a constant, such that `getInputSocketReader` will never return a NULL pointer. This breaks the previous test method, which needs to be replaced by more explicit flags. Luckily this was done only for very few output nodes (Composite, Viewer, Output-File). These now use the regular SetValueOperation default in case "use alpha" is disabled, but set this to an explicit 1.0 value instead of mapping to the node socket.
Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch
aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code
more transparent.
== Separating Nodes and Operations ==
Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have
very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the
compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for
nodes and for operations.
This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.)
and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear
at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can
use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and
fewer runtime sanity checks are needed.
== Simplified Node Conversion ==
Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e.
nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees,
then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard
to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid
states.
Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to
nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add
operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external"
links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping
instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and
result (operations graph) are cleanly separated.
== Removed Redundant Data Structures ==
A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the
SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph
construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly
sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common
pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little
performance improvement).
== Avoid virtual recursive functions ==
Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow
during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with
these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core
function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if
needed). See for example NodeOperationBuilder::group_operations.
Issue was caused by file output node actually,
The thing here is, compositor output does have fixed
resolution and we could predict how to map coordinates
for border and cropping in that case.
But viewers and file output nodes are currently totally
depending on an input resolution. Could not see how
border could be applied reliably in this cases.
Disabling border option for file output node, so
now it shall behave the same way as it was before.
Discovered issues when using cropping to render border,
namely there's an offset in viewer nodes and previews,
but this is separate issue i guess (file output seems
to work fine). Will revisit this issue in next days.
Replace old color pipeline which was supporting linear/sRGB color spaces
only with OpenColorIO-based pipeline.
This introduces two configurable color spaces:
- Input color space for images and movie clips. This space is used to convert
images/movies from color space in which file is saved to Blender's linear
space (for float images, byte images are not internally converted, only input
space is stored for such images and used later).
This setting could be found in image/clip data block settings.
- Display color space which defines space in which particular display is working.
This settings could be found in scene's Color Management panel.
When render result is being displayed on the screen, apart from converting image
to display space, some additional conversions could happen.
This conversions are:
- View, which defines tone curve applying before display transformation.
These are different ways to view the image on the same display device.
For example it could be used to emulate film view on sRGB display.
- Exposure affects on image exposure before tone map is applied.
- Gamma is post-display gamma correction, could be used to match particular
display gamma.
- RGB curves are user-defined curves which are applying before display
transformation, could be used for different purposes.
All this settings by default are only applying on render result and does not
affect on other images. If some particular image needs to be affected by this
transformation, "View as Render" setting of image data block should be set to
truth. Movie clips are always affected by all display transformations.
This commit also introduces configurable color space in which sequencer is
working. This setting could be found in scene's Color Management panel and
it should be used if such stuff as grading needs to be done in color space
different from sRGB (i.e. when Film view on sRGB display is use, using VD16
space as sequencer's internal space would make grading working in space
which is close to the space using for display).
Some technical notes:
- Image buffer's float buffer is now always in linear space, even if it was
created from 16bit byte images.
- Space of byte buffer is stored in image buffer's rect_colorspace property.
- Profile of image buffer was removed since it's not longer meaningful.
- OpenGL and GLSL is supposed to always work in sRGB space. It is possible
to support other spaces, but it's quite large project which isn't so
much important.
- Legacy Color Management option disabled is emulated by using None display.
It could have some regressions, but there's no clear way to avoid them.
- If OpenColorIO is disabled on build time, it should make blender behaving
in the same way as previous release with color management enabled.
