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/
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
The attribute node already allows accessing attributes associated
with objects and meshes, which allows changing the behavior of the
same material between different objects or instances. The same idea
can be extended to an even more global level of layers and scenes.
Currently view layers provide an option to replace all materials
with a different one. However, since the same material will be applied
to all objects in the layer, varying the behavior between layers while
preserving distinct materials requires duplicating objects.
Providing access to properties of layers and scenes via the attribute
node enables making materials with built-in switches or settings that
can be controlled globally at the view layer level. This is probably
most useful for complex NPR shading and compositing. Like with objects,
the node can also access built-in scene properties, like render resolution
or FOV of the active camera. Lookup is also attempted in World, similar
to how the Object mode checks the Mesh datablock.
In Cycles this mode is implemented by replacing the attribute node with
the attribute value during sync, allowing constant folding to take the
values into account. This means however that materials that use this
feature have to be re-synced upon any changes to scene, world or camera.
The Eevee version uses a new uniform buffer containing a sorted array
mapping name hashes to values, with binary search lookup. The array
is limited to 512 entries, which is effectively limitless even
considering it is shared by all materials in the scene; it is also
just 16KB of memory so no point trying to optimize further.
The buffer has to be rebuilt when new attributes are detected in a
material, so the draw engine keeps a table of recently seen attribute
names to minimize the chance of extra rebuilds mid-draw.

This commit removes all EEVEE specific code from the `gpu_shader_material*.glsl`
files. It defines a clear interface to evaluate the closure nodes leaving
more flexibility to the render engine.
Some of the long standing workaround are fixed:
- bump mapping support is no longer duplicating a lot of node and is instead
compiled into a function call.
- bump rewiring to Normal socket is no longer needed as we now use a global
`g_data.N` for that.
Closure sampling with upstread weight eval is now supported if the engine needs
it.
This also makes all the material GLSL sources use `GPUSource` for better
debugging experience. The `GPUFunction` parsing now happens in `GPUSource`
creation.
The whole `GPUCodegen` now uses the `ShaderCreateInfo` and is object type
agnostic. Is has also been rewritten in C++.
This patch changes a view behavior for EEVEE:
- Mix shader node factor imput is now clamped.
- Tangent Vector displacement behavior is now matching cycles.
- The chosen BSDF used for SSR might change.
- Hair shading may have very small changes on very large hairs when using hair
polygon stripes.
- ShaderToRGB node will remove any SSR and SSS form a shader.
- SSS radius input now is no longer a scaling factor but defines an average
radius. The SSS kernel "shape" (radii) are still defined by the socket default
values.
Appart from the listed changes no other regressions are expected.
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.

This patch allows the user to type a property name into the
Attribute node, which will then output the value of the property
for each individual object, allowing to e.g. customize shaders
by object without duplicating the shader.
In order to make supporting this easier for Eevee, it is necessary
to explicitly choose whether the attribute is varying or uniform
via a dropdown option of the Attribute node. The dropdown also
allows choosing whether instancing should be taken into account.
The Cycles design treats all attributes as one common namespace,
so the Blender interface converts the enum to a name prefix that
can't be entered using keyboard.
In Eevee, the attributes are provided to the shader via a UBO indexed
with resource_id, similar to the existing Object Info data. Unlike it,
however, it is necessary to maintain a separate buffer for every
requested combination of attributes.
This is done using a hash table with the attribute set as the key,
as it is expected that technically different but similar materials
may use the same set of attributes. In addition, in order to minimize
wasted memory, a sparse UBO pool is implemented, so that chunks that
don't contain any data don't have to be allocated.
The back-end Cycles code is already refactored and committed by Brecht.

- Use the syntactic wrap/unwrap method to make code more readable.
- Update comment about hidden struct behind opaque types.
- Cleanup GPUDrawList type.
This is in preparation of vulkan backend. We move all opengl
functionnalities behind an abstract class.
This also cleansup the "dynamic" ubo create and rename it to
`GPU_uniformbuf_from_list()`
Contains, no functional change.
Part of T68990 Vulkan support.
This follows the GPU module naming of other buffers.
We pass name to distinguish each GPUUniformBuf in debug mode.
Also remove DRW_uniform_buffer interface.
