This commit makes uses of the new OpenVDB IO in Mantaflow (introduced in 781f783a66ac).
From now on, fluid cache files in OpenVDB format will contain a list of grids per frame (before: one .vdb file per grid per frame). Besides regular grids, particle systems are also stored using OpenVDBs PointGrid data structures.
All older cache formats will remain fully functional:
- Uni caches (.uni) files are still available from the UI and can be used as before
- Raw caches (.raw) are no longer available from the UI, but loading them is still possible
- Old OpenVDB caches (one .vdb per grid) can no longer be baked either, but loading them is still possible.
It is also no longer possible to choose file formats for 'Noise' and 'Particles'. Instead there are now options to set the file format for 'Volumetric' and for 'Mesh' data.
Known issues (planned to be resolved soon):
- OpenVDB files are currently not taking into consideration the clipping value (FluidDomainSettings). Empty cells are therefore being written too. Depending on the scene, this can make file sizes unnecessarily large.
- Domains are not being exported at their world position. Instead they are always clipped to the origin.
Sculpt Vertex Colors is a painting system that runs inside sculpt mode, reusing all its tools and optimizations. This provides much better performance, easier to maintain code and more advanced features (new brush engine, filters, symmetry options, masks and face sets compatibility...). This is also the initial step for future features like vertex painting in Multires and brushes that can sculpt and paint at the same time.
This commit includes:
- SCULPT_UNDO_COLOR for undo support in sculpt mode
- SCULPT_UPDATE_COLOR and PBVH flags and rendering
- Sculpt Color API functions
- Sculpt capability for sculpt tools (only enabled in the Paint Brush for now)
- Rendering support in workbench (default to Sculpt Vertex Colors except in Vertex Paint)
- Conversion operator between MPropCol (Sculpt Vertex Colors) and MLoopCol (Vertex Paint)
- Remesher reprojection in the Voxel Remehser
- Paint Brush and Smear Brush with color smoothing in alt-smooth mode
- Parameters for the new brush engine (density, opacity, flow, wet paint mixing, tip scale) implemented in Sculpt Vertex Colors
- Color Filter
- Color picker (uses S shortcut, replaces smooth)
- Color selector in the top bar

This revisit the render pipeline to support time slicing for better motion
blur.
We support accumulation with or without the Post-process motion blur.
If using the post-process, we reuse last step next motion data to avoid
another scene reevaluation.
This also adds support for hair motion blur which is handled in a similar
way as mesh motion blur.
The total number of samples is distributed evenly accross all timesteps to
avoid sampling weighting issues. For this reason, the sample count is
(internally) rounded up to the next multiple of the step count.
Only FX Motion BLur: {F8632258}
FX Motion Blur + 4 time steps: {F8632260}

* `use_new_particle_system`: Enables the point cloud type and the simulation editor.
* `use_new_hair_type`: Only displays the add-operator in the add menu for now.
Note, in the current state you can't do anything productive with the new particle

This will allow the easier addition of a constant radius mode in the
future and some changes in the UI to mirror the recent similar change
from "Only Vertices" to the "Affect" enum.
View2DScrollers used the memory manager to allocate memory. This isn't a
problem but in a upcoming change the scrollers will be drawn more often
than it used to (See {D8066}). To limit the number of allocations and

The layouts are also updated to use subpanels and the a more organized

This adds object motion blur vectors for EEVEE as well as better noise
reduction for it.
For TAA reprojection we just compute the motion vector on the fly based on
camera motion and depth buffer. This makes possible to store another motion
vector only for the blurring which is not useful for TAA history fetching.
Motion Data is saved per object & per geometry if using deformation blur.
We support deformation motion blur by saving previous VBO and modifying the
actual GPUBatch for the geometry to include theses VBOs.
We store Previous and Next frame motion in the same motion vector buffer
(RG for prev and BA for next). This makes non linear motion blur (like
rotating objects) less prone to outward/inward blur.
We also improve the motion blur post process to expand outside the objects
border. We use a tile base approach and the max size of the blur is set via
a new render setting.
We use a background reconstruction method that needs another setting
(Background Separation).
Sampling is done using a fixed 8 dithered samples per direction. The final
render samples will clear the noise like other stochastic effects.
One caveat is that hair particles are not yet supported. Support will
come in another patch.

Currently all force effectors can only act on cloth when the force is
perpendicular to the surface. This makes sense for wind, but not for
other forces; and the user may want even wind to have some friction.
This changes effector code to output two force vectors - although
you of course can pass the same pointer for both. The force is split
between the two outputs based on a new per-effector setting.

These changes aren't aligned with other timeline selection keymaps
(graph & action for e.g.).
Revert these changes, shortcuts to time-line editors
should take other similar spaces into account.
This operator is written in python it is inserting keyframes to create fade
effects.
Add Sequence.invalidate() python function to invalidate strip if it is
changed in python.
Perhaps I could implement cache invalidation to actual curve manipulation.
I guess it wouldn't be very hard to do but having means to invalidate form
python is useful as well.

This resolves T73673 by allowing delete hierarchy in all outliner view
modes. It also unifies the collection and object hierarchy delete into a
single operator like in rBae98a033c856. This makes it easier to delete
all selected collection and object hierarchies at once.
This also removes the old object delete hierarchy code in favor of the
batch delete code which has been default for over a year.

- Bake the mesh animation into grease pencil strokes.
Both are related and must be included in the same patch.

Notice: The conversion is done for mesh edges and it's not considering any visibility clipping. All edges are exported, no matters if it's visible or not.

The memory leak is noticeable when using custom bone shapes. When using custom
bone shapes objects could be extracted twice. Where the second extraction can
overwrite data created by the first extraction what causes the memory leak.
Options that have been checked:
1. Use two task graphs phases. One for normal extraction (DST.task_graph) and
the other one will handle extractions that require blocking threads.
2. Keep a list of all objects that needs extraction and only start extraction
when all objects have been populated.
The second would slow performance as the extraction only happens when all
objects have been populated. In the future we might want to go for the second
option when we have the capability to render multiple viewports with a single
populate. As this design isn't clear this patch will implement the first
option.

When a fluid is put under influence of gravity or acceleration, it
forms an internal pressure gradient, which causes observable effects
like buoyancy. Since now cloth has support for simulating pressure
changes caused by fluid compression or expansion, it makes sense to
also support the effects of gravity.
This is intended for better simulation of objects filled or
surrounded by fluids, especially when constrained by collisions
or pinned vertices, and should result in more realistic shapes.
Obviously, this doesn't actually simulate fluid dynamics; instead
it is assumed that the fluid immediately adapts to changes in the
shape or acceleration of the object without friction or turbulence,
and instantly reaches a new static equilibrium.
