At the moment light shading in Blender is produced in viewspace. Apparently, that's why
shader nodes work with normals in camera space. But it is not convenient for artists.
The more convenient approach is implemented in Cycles where normals are represented in world space.
Blend4Web Team designed the engine keeping in mind shader parameters readability,
so normals are interpreted in world space as well. And now our users have to use some tweaks, like
empty node group with the name "Replace", which is replacing one input by another on the engine side
(replacing working configuration in Blender Viewport by the configuration that has the same behavior in the engine).
This patch adds the ability to switch to world space for normals and lamp vector in BI and Viewport.
This patch is very important to us and we crave to see this patch in Blender 2.7 because
it will significantly simplify Blend4Web material creation workflow.

Was using O(n^2) lookup on ID's with undo.
This caused undo to hang with 1000's of data-blocks
(especially with heavy scenes & outliner-space, which doesn't even need to be visible to cause a slow-down).
Internally this uses a ghash per id-type, which is lazy-initialized.
Each key uses the name and library since there may be name collisions between libraries.
Developer Notes:
- Adds small `BKE_main_idmap_*` API.
- Needed to change linking order for this to build.
The original quad intersection test works by just testing against the two triangles that define the quad.
However, in this case it's actually faster to use the same test that's also used for portals: Determining
the distance to the plane in which the quad lies, calculating the hitpoint and checking whether it's in the
quad by projecting onto the sides.

Being granular means we need to re-build depsgraph a bit more often..
The issue was caused by rigidbody requiring some special nodes to
handle physics which were not created with just tagging object for
update.
The issue was caused by non-watertight nature of intersection, which is now addressed.
Hopefully it doesn't cause any regression caused by uninitialized precalculated storage.
Makes behavior of proxy_from backlink working similar to the old dependency graph.
it's nasty, but needed here in the studio to get proxies fixes ASAP.
In certain types of animation it's possible to have some objects
scaling to zero. In this case we can save render times by avoid
traversing such instances.
Better to do ti ahead of a time, so traversal stays simple.

Currently for windows only, this is an initial commit towards native
support of NUMA.
Current commit makes it so Cycles will use all logical processors on
Windows running on system with more than 64 threads.

FCurve evaluation depended on FCurve.curval, which isn't threadsafe.
Now only use this value for debug display,
and pass the value instead of storing in the FCurve for all but debug-display.
This covers the following workflow. Animator will disable Update All 3D views
in order to get quick playback in a particular 3D editor. However, it also
handy to see playback in all editors and image editors to see comparison of
animation and reference footage.
So the idea here is to refresh reasonable editors when playback is invoked
from animation editors.
Commit to make Hjalti happy.
Still not sure how to properly solve the issue, needs some trickery to get
actual optimized values from intersection function (using printf() avoids
some optimization and makes stuff render correct).
For the time being let's just simplify check.
- the name of the enumerator `SNAP_NOT_OBEDIT` was changed to `SNAP_NOT_ACTIVE`.
- the parameter `snap_to_flag` was moved to outside `SnapObjectParams`.
- the member `use_object_edit` was renamed to `use_object_edit_cage`.
- added the arg `params` in `ED_transform_snap_object_project_ray`.
- simplifications in the loop of the function `snapObjectsRay`.
That was a nice and funny hunt, albeit rather time consumming!
To summarize, so far code was using a static global gpu_buffer for pbvh vbo drawing
of 'grid' types (multires mostly?).
There were two issues here:
1) Global gpu buffer was assigned to GPU_PBVH_Buffers->index_buf, but then nearly no
check was done when freeing that buffer, to ensure we were not freeing the global one
(not totally sure this one was actually causing any issue, but was bad and unsafe anyway).
Was solved by adding a flag to GPU_PBVH_Buffers to indicate when we are using some
'common' buffer here, which freeing is handled separately.
2) Main issue: if several multires objects in sculpt mode with different grid size
were present simultaneously, the global gpu buffer had to be resized for each object draw
(i.e., freed and re-allocated), but then the pbvh nodes from other objects storing freed reference
to that global buffer had no way to know that it had been freed, which was causing the segfault & crash.
Was solved by getting rid of that global buffer, and instead allocating one 'grid_commmon_gpu_buffer' per pbvh.
Told ya baby, globals are *PURE EVIL*!
This seems to be illegal and not productive anyway. Do it ahead of
a time now, which solves shading issues in edit mode and prevents
assert from happening.
