Geometry Nodes: viewport preview This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry" bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry. **Activation and deactivation of a viewer node** * A viewer node is activated by clicking on it. * Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and makes it active. * Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer. * When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated. * Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether its active or not. **Pinning** * The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before. When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even when it becomes inactive. * The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows the active viewer. **Attribute** * When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is displayed as an overlay in the viewport. * When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When necessary, the domain can be picked manually. * The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain that is selected in the Viewer node. * Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance. **Viewport Options** * The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node" setting in the overlays popover. * A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu. **Implementation Details** * The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that is used in more places now. * The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute. * A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer` attribute. * The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active viewer from there unless they are pinned. * The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set, the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator instead of the final evaluated geometry. * To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay. * The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make existing links to viewers active again. * The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the "preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one preferred domain, the fallback is used. Known limitations: * Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be added separately if necessary. * Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example, the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays. For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions. Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well. * There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

It always shows the active viewer. **Attribute** * When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is displayed as an overlay in the viewport. * When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When necessary, the domain can be picked manually. * The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain that is selected in the Viewer node. * Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance. **Viewport Options** * The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node" setting in the overlays popover. * A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu. **Implementation Details** * The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that is used in more places now. * The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute. * A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer` attribute. * The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active viewer from there unless they are pinned. * The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set, the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator instead of the final evaluated geometry. * To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay. * The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make existing links to viewers active again. * The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the "preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one preferred domain, the fallback is used. Known limitations: * Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be added separately if necessary. * Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example, the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays. For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions. Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well. * There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

Geometry Nodes: new Repeat Zone This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the Add > Utilities menu. The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will be worked on separately. Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is evaluated per frame. Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality will be built into the repeat zone in the future. For now, things are kept more simple. Remaining Todos after this first version: * Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection and the viewer. * Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager, meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not be required. Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/109164

Geometry Nodes: make evaluation and logging system aware of zones This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation. However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore. Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have. Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the simulation zone. The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately, correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs. The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger for showing inspection data. No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows "Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.
