Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
- Read-only access can often use EvaluationContext.object_mode
- Write access to go to WorkSpace.object_mode.
- Some TODO's remain (marked as "TODO/OBMODE")
- Add-ons will need updating
(context.active_object.mode -> context.workspace.object_mode)
- There will be small/medium issues that still need resolving
this does work on a basic level though.
See D3037
Brushes themselves are still affected by the mask, but the viewport is not
showing the mask. This way it's easier to see details while sculpting.

This commit introduces the following changes:
* Modified the poll callback on the "Update Paths" operator for bones
so that it only checks if there are bones that have motion paths
(instead of checking whether the active bone has paths).
This makes it easier to update paths without having to first select one
that has them - useful when the paths are all on hidden/hard-to-select bones.
* Add a readonly property, "has_motion_paths" to the animviz.motion_path
RNA struct, providing easier access to the internal flag used above.
This makes it possible for the UI to display the "Update" button without
having to check various bones for motion paths.
Notes:
* The flag being used in these changes already existed, and was only really
intended for internal use. However, since it was already used in many places
for determining if auto-update of all bone paths was needed (e.g. after certain
editing ops), it should be safe to use here too.
* The update_paths operator currently bakes all paths when activated, so there's
currently no loss of functionality with changing to not checking if the active
bone has any paths (e.g. we couldn't only update the active bone only either).
That is still listed as a todo in the code.
Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

This makes brush influence into a tube instead of a sphere.
It can be used along the outline of a mesh to adjust it's silhouette.
Note that all this takes advantage of changes from vertex paint,
from testing this seems useful so exposing from the brush options.
This secondary accumulation option accumulated brush falloff.
The same option in image painting accumulates color
as vertex paiht 'Spray' does.
Giving this option different behavior for vertex paint seems strange.
Also this is basically increasing falloff over time.
Remove the new code, expose existing 'Spray' as 'Accumulate'
to match other paint modes.
Notes:
- Changes in paint_vertex.c were simple to merge, mainly related on passing
evaluation context.
- Conflicts in EditDM and drawmesh.c are solved using code from blender2.8
branch. Those areas are deprecated and not to be used in final release.
However, it's possible that some reference code from master is lost, so
keep attention when adding alpha support for vertex painting.
This makes vertex paint match image painting more closely.
- Add falloff shape option sphere/circle
where sphere uses a 3D radius around the cursor and
circle uses a 2D radius (projected), like previous releases.
- Add normal angle option so you can control the falloff.
- Add Cull option, to paint onto faces pointing away.
Disabling normals, culling and using circle falloff
allows you to paint through the mesh.
GSOC 2017 by Darshan Kadu, see: D2859.
This is a partial merge of some of the features from
the soc-2017-vertex_paint branch.
- Alpha painting & drawing.
- 10 new color blending modes.
- Support for vertex select in vertex paint mode.
2016 GSOC project by @nathanvollmer, see D2150
- Mirrored painting and radial symmetry, like in sculpt mode.
- Volume based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices far away from the 3D brush location.
- Normal based splash prevention,
which avoids painting vertices with normals opposite the normal
at the 3D brush location.
- Blur mode now uses a nearest neighbor average.
- Average mode, which averages the color/weight
of the vertices within the brush
- Smudge mode, which pulls the colors/weights
along the direction of the brush
- RGB^2 color blending, which gives a more accurate
blend between two colors
- multithreading support. (PBVH leaves are painted in parallel.)
- Foreground/background color picker in vertex paint
In the future we should make these two buttons on one line
However because we need `gen_context = 'PAINT_STENCIL'`
this is a little hard and we need to find a proper solution.
One might be using `context_pointer_set`

Although this wasn't so obvious since it
only showed up for factory settings and in the preferences window.
Panel display order depends on registration order,
Sorry for the noise. On the bright side we no longer need to move
classes around to re-arrange panels.
