This is currently meant mainly for testing, when "Developer Extras" is
enabled. The goal is to make interactive Hydra export and USD file export
identical. We are not there yet, and having the ability to compare both
in the viewport and automated tests should help us get and stay there.
Ref #110765
This is a full rewrite of the raytracing denoise pipeline. It uses the
same principle as before but now uses compute shaders for every stages
and a tile base approach. More aggressive filtering is needed since we
are moving towards having no prefiltered screen radiance buffer. Thus
we introduce a temporal denoise and a bilateral denoise stage to the
denoising. These are optionnal and can be disabled.
Note that this patch does not include any tracing part and only samples
the reflection probes. It is focused on denoising only. Tracing will
come in another PR.
The motivation for this is that having hardware raytracing support
means we can't prefilter the radiance in screen space so we have to
have better denoising. Also this means we can have better surface
appearance with support for other BxDF model than GGX. Also GGX support
is improved.
Technically, the new denoising fixes some implementation mistake the
old pipeline did. It separates all 3 stages (spatial, temporal,
bilateral) and use random sampling for all stages hoping to create
a noisy enough (but still stable) output so that the TAA soaks the
remaining noise. However that's not always the case. Depending on the
nature of the scene, the input can be very high frequency and might
create lots of flickering. That why another solution needs to be found
for the higher roughness material as denoising them becomes expensive
and low quality.

Port Ambient Occlusion to EEVEE Next.
Add support for the AO Node and the AO RenderPass.
AO shading integration is still missing.
This also fixes the Shadow RenderPass.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
