This patch adds a new user-configurable option to change at which sample viewport
denoising should kick in. Setting it to zero retains previous behavior (start immediately), while
other values will defer denoising until the particular sample has been reached. Default is now
at one, to avoid the weirdness that is AI denoising at small resolutions.

The node would render black in this case (but should use the
'active_render' layer choosen in the object data properties -- this is
now in line to how this is handled for e.g. UVs)
This introduces ATTR_STD_VERTEX_COLOR and uses this thoughout, if no

Rendering with multiple CUDA devices but denoising with OptiX caused parts of the image to go
missing at the start while the resolution was scaled. This is because the copy operation in
`MultiDevice::map_neighbor_tiles` which slices the copy across all devices would slice based on the
full resolution and not the scaled one and therefore copy incorrect data between devices.
Since this is not the recommended way of using viewport denoising anyway, simply avoid those
incorrect copies for now by disabling denoising while the resolution is scaled. Doing both rendering
and denoising with OptiX is not affected by this, since it avoids those copies altogether anyway.
* Direction mode X, Y and Z to align with axes rather than diagonal or
spherical as previously. X is the new default, existing files will
use diagonal or spherical for compatibility.
* Phase offset to offset the wave along its direction, for purposes like

Sometimes the viewport buffer size is zero for a frame, which caused the denoising task to also try to
launch CUDA kernels with a launch size of zero, which in turn failed with a CUDA error. This patch
prevents launches from occuring in this case, similar to how it is handled in `copy_to_display_buffer`.
There were to copies of stdosl.h one from stock OSL

The OptiX denoiser can be a great help when rendering in the viewport, since it is really fast
and needs few samples to produce convincing results. This patch therefore adds support for
using any Cycles denoiser in the viewport also (but only the OptiX one is selectable because
the NLM one is too slow to be usable currently). It also adds support for denoising on a
different device than rendering (so one can e.g. render with the CPU but denoise with OptiX).

Lacunarity parameter determines scaling of subsequent octaves in fractal
noises. For example, Noise node have this scaling hardcoded to 2.0. Each
octave have twice bigger scale than previous one, resulting in finer details.
By design fractal noises that generate octaves with same seed should not
have Lacunarity set to 1.0, since then it just stacks up identical noises.

Some code was removed to avoid storing the combined pass when viewport
rendering other passes. But we can keep this by default, Blender overrides
the list of passes entirely.
This is a more correct fix to the issue Brecht was fixing in D6600.
While the fix in that patch worked fine for linking it broke ASAN
runtime under some circumstances.
For example, `make full debug developer` would compile, but trying
to start blender will cause assert failure in ASAN (related on check
that ASAN is not running already).
Top-level idea: leave it to CMake to keep track of dependency graph.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that target like "blender" is
configured to use a lot of static libraries coming from Blender sources
and to use external static libraries. There is nothing which ensures
order between blender's and external libraries. Only order of blender
libraries is guaranteed.
It was possible that due to a cycle or other circumstances some of
blender libraries would have been passed to linker after libraries
it uses, causing linker errors.
For example, this order will likely fail:
libbf_blenfont.a libfreetype6.a libbf_blenfont.a
This change makes it so blender libraries are explicitly provided
their dependencies to an external libraries, which allows CMake to
ensure they are always linked against them.
General rule here: if bf_foo depends on an external library it is
to be provided to LIBS for bf_foo.
For example, if bf_blenkernel depends on opensubdiv then LIBS in
blenkernel's CMakeLists.txt is to include OPENSUBDIB_LIBRARIES.
The change is made based on searching for used include folders
such as OPENSUBDIV_INCLUDE_DIRS and adding corresponding libraries
to LIBS ion that CMakeLists.txt. Transitive dependencies are not
simplified by this approach, but I am not aware of any downside of
this: CMake should be smart enough to simplify them on its side.
And even if not, this shouldn't affect linking time.
Benefit of not relying on transitive dependencies is that build
system is more robust towards future changes. For example, if
bf_intern_opensubiv is no longer depends on OPENSUBDIV_LIBRARIES
and all such code is moved to bf_blenkernel this will not break
linking.
The not-so-trivial part is change to blender_add_lib (and its
version in Cycles). The complexity is caused by libraries being
provided as a single list argument which doesn't allow to use
different release and debug libraries on Windows. The idea is:
- Have every library prefixed as "optimized" or "debug" if
separation is needed (non-prefixed libraries will be considered
"generic").
- Loop through libraries passed to function and do simple parsing
which will look for "optimized" and "debug" words and specify
following library to corresponding category.
This isn't something particularly great. Alternative would be to
use target_link_libraries() directly, which sounds like more code
but which is more explicit and allows to have more flexibility
and control comparing to wrapper approach.
Tested the following configurations on Linux, macOS and Windows:
- make full debug developer
- make full release developer
- make lite debug developer
- make lite release developer
NOTE: Linux libraries needs to be compiled with D6641 applied,
otherwise, depending on configuration, it's possible to run into
duplicated zlib symbols error.

The problem is described in a comment in the change.
Short version: If a pass was used as a divide_type but also requested
explicitly (e.g. diffuse color), it was added to the passes list
twice because the names of the two requests didn't match.
Then, when searching for the pass to divide by, the wrong one (not
the one that the kernel was writing to) was picked.
The ImageTextureNode incorrectly used the tile slot encoding for box-
mapped textures as well. Since box-mapping always generates UVs that
lie in the 1001 tile, there's no need to support tiles here.
The code checked for the presence of more than one tile before
substituting the tile number into the filename, so if a one-tile
UDIM was used (or all but one tile were culled), the substitution
was skipped and as a result the file was not found.
With this change, the code explicitly tracks whether substitution
is required, avoiding this problem.
This also fixes another problem: The Environment texture never
does substitution since it doesn't support UDIMs, but before the
syncing code still inserted the placeholder into the filename if the
user selected a tiled background image.
This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images

With upcoming light group passes, for them to sum up correctly to the combined
pass the clamping must be more fine grained.
This also has the advantage that if one light is particularly noisy, it does
not diminish the contribution from other lights which do not need as much
clamping.
Clamp values on existing scenes will need to be tweaked to get similar results,
there is no automatic conversion possible which would give the same results as
before.

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
