The actual sample count is rounded up to a multiple of 4 because we
sample 4 horizons directions.
Changing this setting forces the shader to recompile (because using a
GPU_constant).
The commit rB6f63417b500d that made exact boolean work on meshes
with holes (like Suzanne) unfortunately dramatically slowed things
down on other non-manifold meshes that don't have holes and didn't
need the per-triangle insideness test.
This adds a hole_tolerant parameter, false by default, that the user
can enable to get good results on non-manifold meshes with holes.
Using false for this parameter speeds up the time from 90 seconds
to 10 seconds on an example with 1.2M triangles.
This is a complete rewrite of the derived node tree data structure.
It is a much thinner abstraction about `NodeTreeRef` than before.
This gives the user of the derived node tree more control and allows
for greater introspection capabilities (e.g. before muted nodes were
completely abstracted away; this was convenient, but came with
limitations).
Another nice benefit of the new structure is that it is much cheaper
to build, because it does not inline all nodes and sockets in nested
node groups.

This attribute exposes mesh vertex normals as a `vertex_normal`
attribute for use with nodes. Since the normal vector stored in
vertices is only a cache of data computable from the surrounding faces,
the attribute is read-only. A proper error message for attempting to
write this attribute is part of T85749. A write-only normal attribute
will likely come later, most likely called `corner_normal`.
The normals are recomputed before reading if they are marked dirty.
This involves const write-access to the mesh, protected by the mutex
stored in `Mesh_Runtime`. This is essential for correct behavior after
nodes like "Edge Split" or nodes that adjust the position attribute.

Note that this still does not work when in the node group directly referenced
by the modifier, only in sub-node-groups. This limitation will be removed
at some point.
This commit exposes the strings used in the node error messages for
localization. It also changes the message tooltip creation to
automatically add the period at the end, to be more consistent with
the (arguably bad) design of other tooltips in Blender.
Calling `TIP_` directly in the node implementation files allows us to
continue using `std::string` concatenation instead of passing variadic
arguments. It's also more explicit about which part of the message is
translated and which isn't. The files already include the translation
header anyway.
The crash happened when the density in the Point Distribute node was
above zero but so small, that no point was generated. In this case, there
was a point cloud component, but the point cloud was empty, making some
attributes unavailable.
One could also make more attributes available in this case, but that can
be done separately if necessary.
I made an incorrect comment in patch review that "Location"
should be used instead of position. "Position" is more appropriate
here since it refers to generic data rather than an object origin.
"Position" is also the name we chose for the attribute for this reason.
Reflection
Anisotropic is not really supported in Eevee, but since code looks like
it is just intended to make it behave like glossy, it should function
like it too.
Seems like the internal calling from `node_bsdf_glossy` from
`node_bsdf_anisotropic` has swapped arguments.
Also: ssr_id is available for SH_NODE_BSDF_ANISOTROPIC as well (see
`ntree_tag_bsdf_cb`), so why not use it?

This patch adds an output field to the Attribute Proximity node and
renames the existing string socket from "Result" to "Distance".
- The "Distance" output contains distance to the closest position
on the Target geometry.
- The new "Location" output contains the coordinates of the closest
position on the Target geometry.
A basic use case for this data is a simple shrinkwrap operation.

An error doesn't make sense in these situations because we don't expect
to find attributes on empty geometry, and an empty geometry set is a
valid situation.
Note that we can't use `component.is_empty` here, because often the
component is visually "empty" but still has a point cloud with no
points or a mesh with no vertices.
This adds an approximation of inverted AO by reversing the max horizon
search (becoming a min horizon). The horizons are correctly clamped in
the reverse direction to the shading and geometric normals.
The arc integration is untouched as it seems to be symetrical.
The limitation of this technique is that since it is still screen-space
AO you don't get other hidden surfaces occlusion. This is more
problematic in the case of inverted AO than for normal AO but it's
better than no support AO.
Support of distance parameter was easy thanks to recent AO refactor.
This commit adds a simple string input node, intended for use in the
attribute workflow to make using the same attribute name in multiple
places easier. The node is function node similar to the existing vector
input node.

This makes the nodes look more consistent with the rest of the UI
by using the same split with right aligned labels as the property editor
and elsewhere. Additionally, for consistency, the "Type" part of some
dropdowns is removed. It already wasn't displayed everywhere, and
it gets redundant quite quickly.
Add the Simple subdivision option to Geometry nodes, as a new node
instead of part of the existing subdivision node because of future
backend changes to the Simple option. (See T85584)

If the axes are aligned in auto pivot mode then the rotation axis would be (0,0,0).
We now fall back to the x axis in this case. If that fails, we fall back to the y axis.

Previously, the density was set per point. That implies that when a
point has a non-zero weight, points might be distributed in all
connected polygons. By specifying the density per corner, this
limitation is removed. Note, per-point density maps (such as vertex
groups) can still be used. They will be adapted to the corner domain
without loss of information.

The integer mode still needs a random value in a 0 to 1 range, just like
floats. So slightly refactor to let the integer randomization use the
float implementation and then round to an int afterwards.
The `material_index` attribute can adjust which material in the list
will be applied to each face of the mesh. There are two new things
about this attribute that haven't been exposed by the attribute API yet.
Each comes with limitations:
1. Integer data type: Most attribute nodes are currently written to use
float data types. This means that they can't write to this attribute
because they can't change the type of a built-in attribute.
2. Polygon domain: This is our first attribute using the polygon domain,
meaning until some of the interpolations are implemented, some
operations may not work as expected.
Currently the two nodes that work with this attribute are Attribute Fill
and Attribute Randomize.

This patch adds icons to the right side of nodes when they encounter a
a problem. When hovered, a tooltip displays describing the encountered
while evaluating the node.
Some examples are: attribute doesn't exist, mesh has no faces,
incorrect attribute type, etc. Exposing more messages to the system
will be an ongoing process. Multiple warnings per node are supported.
The system is implemented somewhat generically so that the basic
structure can also be used to store more information from evaluation
for the interface, like a list of available attributes.
Currently the messages are just button tooltips. They could be styled
differently in the future. Another limitation is that every instance of
a node group in a parent node tree will have the same error messages,
the "evaluation context" used to decide when to display the tooltips
must be extended to support node tree paths.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D10290
Since the derived node tree is already build for the evaluation system,
it's simpler to pass a derived node to the params struct. This will also
allow context lookups in nested node groups for node error messages,
since the derived node has that information readily accessible.
The vertex weights were actually interpolated correctly. The issue was that
vertex group names were removed from the output geometry set. We have
to keep track of these names separately from the mesh, for legacy reasons.
Vertex group names are not stored on meshes but objects instead.
In an upcoming commit I'll also move the make-instances-real functionality
to this file. This code is not essential to working with geometry sets in general,
so it makes sense to move it to a separate header.
