This is to make the codegen and shading nodes object type agnostic. This
is essential for flexibility of the engine to use the nodetree as it see
fits.
The essential volume attributes struct properties are moved to the
`GPUMaterialAttribute` which see its final input name set on creation.
The binding process is centralized into `draw_volume.cc` to avoid
duplicating the code between multiple engines. It mimics the hair attributes
process.
Volume object grid transforms and other per object uniforms are packed into
one UBO per object. The grid transform is now based on object which simplify
the matrix preparations.
This also gets rid of the double transforms and use object info orco factors
for volume objects.

Preserve multi socket link order when copying nodes or adding a new

This is done by also copying the `multi_input_socket_index` when

instead creates them on-demand in the `rna()` functions. They also

This commit changes the Curve to Mesh node to work with `Curves`
instead of `CurveEval`. The change ends up basically completely
rewriting the node, since the different attribute storage means that
the decisions made previously don't make much sense anymore.
The main loops are now "for each attribute: for each curve combination"
rather than the other way around, with the goal of taking advantage
of the locality of curve attributes. This improvement is quite
noticeable with many small curves; I measured a 4-5x improvement
(around 4-5s to <1s) when converting millions of curves to tens of
millions of faces. I didn't obverse any change in performance compared
to 3.1 with fewer curves though.
The changes also solve an algorithmic flaw where any interpolated
attributes would be evaluated for every curve combination instead
of just once per curve. This can be a large improvement when there
are many profile curves.
The code relies heavily on a function `foreach_curve_combination`
which calculates some basic information about each combination and
calls a templated function. I made assumptions about unnecessary reads
being removed by compiler optimizations. For further performance
improvements in the future that might be an area to investigate.
Another might be using a "for a group of curves: for each attribute:
for each curve" pattern to increase the locality of memory access.

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.
This adds a new node editor overlay that helps users to see where
named attributes are used. This is important, because named

Port the "Normal" and "Curve Tangent" nodes to the new curves data-block
to avoid the conversion to `CurveEval`. This should make them faster by
avoiding all that copying, but otherwise nothing else has changed.
This also includes a fix to move the normal mode as a built-in curve
attribute when converting to and from `CurveEval`. The attribute is
needed because the option is used implicitly in many nodes currently.

This patch adds color attributes to TexPaintSlot. This allows an easier selection
when painting color attributes.
Previously when selecting a paint tool the user had to start a stroke, before the
UI reflected the correct TexPaintSlot. Now when switching the slot the active
tool is checked and immediate the UI is drawn correctly.
In the future the canvas selector will also be used to select an image or image texture node
to paint on. Basic implementation has already been done inside this patch.
A limitation of this patch is that is isn't possible anymore to rename images directly from
the selection panel. This is currently allowed in master. But as CustomDataLayers
aren't ID fields and not owned by the material supporting this wouldn't be easy.

In the future we should update the create slot operator to also include color attributes.
Sources could also be extended to use other areas of the object that use image textures

Add "for_write" on function names that retrieve mutable data arrays.
Though this makes function names longer, it's likely worth it because
it allows more easily using the const functions in a non-const context,
and reduces cases of mistakenly retrieving with edit access.
In the long term, this situation might change more if we implement
attributes storage that is accessible directly on `CurvesGeometry`
without duplicating the attribute API on geometry components,
which is currently the rough plan.

Change uses of "Hair" in Render Settings UI in the property editor
and the "Hair Info" node to use the "Curves" name to reflect the
design described in T95355, where hair is just a use case of a more
general curves data type.
While these settings still affect the particle hair system,
the idea is that if we have to choose one naming scheme to align
with, we should choose the option that aligns with future plans
and current development efforts, especially since the particle
system is considered a legacy feature.
A few notes:
- "Principled Hair BSDF" is not affected since it's meant for hair.
- Python API property identifiers are not affected.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).

which is a separate patch, see:

This commit moves declarations that depend on `FN_field.hh` out of
`BKE_geometry_set.hh` into `BKE_geometry_fields.hh`. This helps to
reduce the number of areas that need to depend on the functions module,
which recently came in in review of D11591.
In the future we may have a library of standard field inputs in order to
make composing algorithms easier, so it makes sense to have a header
that could contain them and some basic related utilities relating the
concepts of geometry and fields.
Reducing use of unnecessary headers may also reduce compilation time.

This commit ports the "Set Handle Positions" and "Set Hanle Type"
nodes to use the new curves data-block. The nodes become simpler
and likely much faster too, though they're usually not the bottleneck
anyway.
Most of the code is ported from `BezierSpline` directly. The majority
of the complexity comes from the interaction between different
automatically calculated handle types. In comparison `BezierSpline`,
the calculation of auto handles is done eagerly-- mostly because it's
simpler. Eventually lazy calculation might be good to add.

It's better to use some local/stable identifiier to avoid relying on
the data not being freed in between creating the search menu and
the exec function. This is similar to c473b2ce8b.
This commit re-implements the resample curve node to use the new curves
type instead of CurveEval. The largest changes come from the need to
keep track of offsets into the point attribute arrays, and the fact
that the attributes for all curves are stored in a flat array.
Another difference is that a bit more of the logic is handled by
building of the field network inputs. The idea is to let the field
evaluator handle potential optimizations while making the rest of the
code simpler.
When resampling 1 million small poly curves,the node is about 6
times faster compared to 3.1 on my hardware (500ms to 80ms).

Currently there is a "calc_face_normal" argument to mesh to bmesh
conversion, but vertex normals had always implicitly inherited whatever
dirty state the mesh input's vertex normals were in. Probably they were
most often assumed to not be dirty, but this was never really correct in
the general case.
Ever since the refactor to move vertex normals out of mesh vertices,
cfa53e0fbe, the copying logic has been explicit: copy the
normals when they are not dirty. But it turns out that more control is
needed, and sometimes normals should be calculated for the resulting
BMesh.
This commit adds an option to the conversion to calculate vertex
normals, true by default. In almost all places except the decimate
and edge split modifiers, I just copied the value of the
"calc_face_normals" argument.
