Unfortunately this does break compatibility in that the viewport will look a
bit different depending on the settings, but the old behavior was simply not
usable for higher distances.
Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

Selection loop would draw the selection ignoring xray.
Now draw in a separate pass after clearing the depth buffer,
as with regular drawing.
Also disable depth sorting,
caller can sort the hit-list by depth if needed.
Intended to replace legacy GL_SELECT, without the limitations of
sample queries which can't access depth information.
This commit adds VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_NEAREST and VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_ALL
which access the depth buffers to detect whats under the pointer,
so initial selection is always the closest item.
The performance of this method depends a lot on the OpenGL
implementations glReadPixels.
Since reading depth can be slow, buffers are cached for object picking
so selecting re-uses depth data, performing 1 draw instead of 3
(for 24, 18, 10 px regions, picking with many items under the pointer).
Occlusion queries draw twice when picking nearest,
so worst case 6x draw calls per selection.
Even with these improvements occlusion queries is faster on AMD hardware.
Depth selection is disabled by default, toggle option under select method.
May enable by default if this works well on different hardware.

This will make triple buffer used by default for such configuration.
Ideally we would switch to triple buffer on all platforms, but let's
do it in 2.8 branch and don't open can of worms in master now.
This should solve issues like T49945.
This is yet another debug option that allows to render an arbitrary
simulation field by using a color ramp to inspect its voxel values.
Note that when using this, fire rendering is turned off.

transparency.
The issue is that we are rendering to a 0..1 clamped sRGB buffer with
unpremultiplied alpha, where the correct thing to do would be to render
to an unclamped linear premultiplied alpha buffer. Then we would just
make fire purely emissive without affecting the alpha channel at all,
but that doesn't work here.
So for now, draw fire and smoke separately using different shaders and
blend modes, like it used to before the smoke programs were rewritten
(see rB0372b642).
Reduces noise from --debug-gpu so we can spot serious errors.
Blender 2.7x uses OpenGL 2.1, we don't care if features are deprecated.
I'll re-enable these warnings for blender2.8 after next merge.
When running blender --debug-gpu
Display which debug facilities are available. One of these, in order of preference:
- OpenGL 4.3
- KHR_debug
- ARB_debug_output
- AMD_debug_output
All messages are logged now, not just errors. Will probably turn some of these off later.
GL_DEBUG_OUTPUT_SYNCHRONOUS lets us break on errors and backtrace to the exact trouble spot.
Callers of GPU_string_marker no longer pass in a message length, just the message itself (null terminated).
Apple provides no GL debug logging features.
A bit work in progress, currently the following limitations:
- Texture shading only, Material shading will come later
- No UVs subdivision yet
- Always uses active UV and currently changing active UV will
not properly update the viewport.
Well, need to start somewhere :)
Two were actual bugs, though they existed only in unused code:
* In Freestyle it was unintentionally copying a scene rather than referencing it.
* In BLI_array_store_is_valid there was use of uninitialized memory.
Environment lighting (aka ambient) is a key component of any renderer.
It's implemented like the Environment lighting of BI render for Approximate Gather mode. It support "Sky Color" and "White" Environment lighting modes.
It would be great if the user could see actual lighting conditions right in the Blender viewport instead of waiting for the renderer to complete the final image, exporting for external renderer or for a game engine.

At the moment light shading in Blender is produced in viewspace. Apparently, that's why
shader nodes work with normals in camera space. But it is not convenient for artists.
The more convenient approach is implemented in Cycles where normals are represented in world space.
Blend4Web Team designed the engine keeping in mind shader parameters readability,
so normals are interpreted in world space as well. And now our users have to use some tweaks, like
empty node group with the name "Replace", which is replacing one input by another on the engine side
(replacing working configuration in Blender Viewport by the configuration that has the same behavior in the engine).
This patch adds the ability to switch to world space for normals and lamp vector in BI and Viewport.
This patch is very important to us and we crave to see this patch in Blender 2.7 because
it will significantly simplify Blend4Web material creation workflow.

That was a nice and funny hunt, albeit rather time consumming!
To summarize, so far code was using a static global gpu_buffer for pbvh vbo drawing
of 'grid' types (multires mostly?).
There were two issues here:
1) Global gpu buffer was assigned to GPU_PBVH_Buffers->index_buf, but then nearly no
check was done when freeing that buffer, to ensure we were not freeing the global one
(not totally sure this one was actually causing any issue, but was bad and unsafe anyway).
Was solved by adding a flag to GPU_PBVH_Buffers to indicate when we are using some
'common' buffer here, which freeing is handled separately.
2) Main issue: if several multires objects in sculpt mode with different grid size
were present simultaneously, the global gpu buffer had to be resized for each object draw
(i.e., freed and re-allocated), but then the pbvh nodes from other objects storing freed reference
to that global buffer had no way to know that it had been freed, which was causing the segfault & crash.
Was solved by getting rid of that global buffer, and instead allocating one 'grid_commmon_gpu_buffer' per pbvh.
Told ya baby, globals are *PURE EVIL*!
A bit tricky, need to pass additional information about what the attribute
is and how to deal with it.
BI path stays unchanged, just to make things simplier for now.
