This patch will use compute shaders to create the VBO for hair.
The previous implementation uses transform feedback.
Timings before: between 0.000069s and 0.000362s.
Timings after: between 0.000032s and 0.000092s.
Speedup isn't noticeable by end-users. The patch is used to test
the new compute shader pipeline and integrate it with the draw
manager. Allowing EEVEE, Workbench and other draw engines to
use compute shaders with the introduction of `DRW_shgroup_call_compute`

Future improvements are possible by generating the index buffer

NOTE: that compute shaders aren't supported by Apple and still use

This patch adds relatively small changes to the curve draw
cache implementation in order to draw the curve data in the
viewport. The dependency graph iterator is also modified
so that it iterates over the curve geometry component, which
is presented to users as `Curve` data with a pointer to the
`CurveEval`
The idea with the spline data type in geometry nodes is that
curve data itself is only the control points, and any evaluated
data with faces is a mesh. That is mostly expected elsewhere in
Blender anyway. This means it's only necessary to implement
wire edge drawing of `CurveEval` data.
Adding a `CurveEval` pointer to `Curve` is in line with changes
I'd like to make in the future like using `CurveEval` in more places
such as edit mode.
An alternate solution involves converting the curve wire data
to a mesh, however, that requires copying all of the data, and
since avoiding it is rather simple and is in-line with future plans
anyway, I think doing it this way is better.

Colors are often thought of as being 4 values that make up that can make any color.
But that is of course too limited. In C we didn’t spend time to annotate what we meant
when using colors.
Recently `BLI_color.hh` was made to facilitate color structures in CPP. CPP has possibilities to
enforce annotating structures during compilation and can adds conversions between them using
function overloading and explicit constructors.
The storage structs can hold 4 channels (r, g, b and a).
Usage:
Convert a theme byte color to a linearrgb premultiplied.
```
ColorTheme4b theme_color;
ColorSceneLinear4f<eAlpha::Premultiplied> linearrgb_color =
BLI_color_convert_to_scene_linear(theme_color).premultiply_alpha();
```
The API is structured to make most use of inlining. Most notable are space
conversions done via `BLI_color_convert_to*` functions.
- Conversions between spaces (theme <=> scene linear) should always be done by
invoking the `BLI_color_convert_to*` methods.
- Encoding colors (compressing to store colors inside a less precision storage)
should be done by invoking the `encode` and `decode` methods.
- Changing alpha association should be done by invoking `premultiply_alpha` or
`unpremultiply_alpha` methods.
# Encoding.
Color encoding is used to store colors with less precision as in using `uint8_t` in
stead of `float`. This encoding is supported for `eSpace::SceneLinear`.
To make this clear to the developer the `eSpace::SceneLinearByteEncoded`
space is added.
# Precision
Colors can be stored using `uint8_t` or `float` colors. The conversion
between the two precisions are available as methods. (`to_4b` and
`to_4f`).
# Alpha conversion
Alpha conversion is only supported in SceneLinear space.
Extending:

of rgb based colors. `ColorHsl4f<eSpace::SceneLinear, eAlpha::Premultiplied>`

This commit allows that the evaluated geometry of an object has
different materials from the original geometry. This is needed
for geometry nodes.
The main thing that changes for render engines and exporters
is that the number of material slots on an object and its geometry
might not match anymore. For original data, the slot counts are
still equal, but not for evaluated data.
Accessing material slots though rna stays the same. The behavior
adapts automatically depending on whether the object is evaluated.
When accessing materials of an object through `BKE_object_material_*`
one has to use a new api for evaluated objects:
`BKE_object_material_get_eval` and `BKE_object_material_count_eval`.
In the future, the different behavior might be hidden behind a more
general C api, but that would require quite a few more changes.
The ground truth for the number of materials is the number of materials
on the geometry now. This is important in the current design, because
Eevee needs to know the number of materials just based on the mesh in
`mesh_render_mat_len_get` and similar places.
In a few places I had to add a special case for mesh edit mode to get it
to work properly. This is unfortunate, but I don't see a way around that
for now.

Some discard of vertbuf were not correctly followed by discards of
the GPUBatches that were using them. This lead to a use-after-free

reference in the VAO (probably) preventing the VBO from being freed
by reference counting.

The problem was that you could getting write access to a grid from a
`const Volume *` without breaking const correctness. I encountered this
when working on support for volumes in the bounding box node. For
geometry nodes there is an important distinction between getting data
"for read" and "for write", with the former returning a `const` version
of the data.
Also, for volumes it was necessary to cast away const, since all of
the relevant functions in `volume.cc` didn't have const versions. This
patch adds `const` in these places, distinguising between "for read"
and "for write" versions of functions where necessary.
The downside is that loading and unloading in the global volume cache
needs const write-access to some member variables. I see that as an
inherent problem that comes up with caching that never has a beautiful
solution anyway.
Some of the const-ness could probably be propogated futher in EEVEE
code, but I'll leave that out, since there is another level of caching.

Before this change, you could have the new sculpt symmetry code and the

Now the specific weight paint symmetry code is an exclusive toggle so
the user can't accidentally mirror strokes and vertex groups at the same

- Fix noise/banding artifact on distant geometry.
- Fix overshadowing on un-occluded surfaces at grazing angle producing "fresnel"
like shadowing. Some of it still appears but this is caused to the low number
of horizons per pixel.
- Improve performance by using a fixed number of samples and fixing the
sampling area size. A better sampling pattern is planned to recover
the lost precision on large AO radius.
- Improved normal reconstruction for the AO pass.
- Improve Bent Normal reconstruction resulting in less faceted look on
smoothed geometry.
- Add Thickness heuristic to avoid overshadowing of thin objects.
Factor is currently hardcoded.
- Add bent normal support to Glossy reflections.
- Change Glossy occlusion to give less light leaks from lightprobes.
It can overshadow on smooth surface but this should be mitigated by
using SSR.
- Use Bent Normal for rough Glossy surfaces.
- Occlusion is now correctly evaluated for each BSDF. However this does make
everything slower. This is mitigated by the fact the search is a lot faster
than before.
This refactor was needed for some reasons:
- closure_lit_lib.glsl was unreadable and could not be easily extended to use new features.
- It was generating ~5K LOC for any shader. Slowing down compilation.
- Some calculations were incorrect and BSDF/Closure code had lots of workaround/hacks.
What this refactor does:
- Add some macros to define the light object loops / eval.
- Clear separation between each closures which now have separate files. Each closure implements the eval functions.
- Make principled BSDF a bit more correct in some cases (specular coloring, mix between glass and opaque).
- The BSDF term are applied outside of the eval function and on the whole lighting (was separated for lights before).
- Make light iteration last to avoid carrying more data than needed.
- Makes sure that all inputs are within correct ranges before evaluating the closures (use `safe_normalize` on normals).
- Making each BSDF isolated means that we might carry duplicated data (normals for instance) but this should be optimized by compilers.
- Makes Translucent BSDF its own closure type to avoid having to disable raytraced shadows using hacks.
- Separate transmission roughness is now working on Principled BSDF.
- Makes principled shader variations using constants. Removing a lot of duplicated code. This needed `const` keyword detection in `gpu_material_library.c`.
- SSR/SSS masking and data loading is a bit more consistent and defined outside of closure eval. The loading functions will act as accumulator if the lighting is not to be separated.
- SSR pass now do a full deferred lighting evaluation, including lights, in order to avoid interference with the closure eval code. However, it seems that the cost of having a global SSR toggle uniform is making the surface shader more expensive (which is already the case, by the way).
- Principle fully black specular tint now returns black instead of white.
- This fixed some artifact issue on my AMD computer on normal surfaces (which might have been some uninitialized variables).
- This touched the Ambient Occlusion because it needs to be evaluated for each closure. But to avoid the cost of this, we use another approach to just pass the result of the occlusion on interpolated normals and modify it using the bent normal for each Closure. This tends to reduce shadowing. I'm still looking into improving this but this is out of the scope of this patch.
- Performance might be a bit worse with this patch since it is more oriented towards code modularity. But not by a lot.
Render tests needs to be updated after this.

This is a complete refactor over the old system. The goal was to increase quality
first and then have something more flexible and optimised.
|{F9603145} | {F9603142}|{F9603147}|
This fixes issues we had with the old system which were:
- Too much overdraw (low performance).
- Not enough precision in render targets (hugly color banding/drifting).
- Poor resolution near in-focus regions.
- Wrong support of orthographic views.
- Missing alpha support in viewport.
- Missing bokeh shape inversion on foreground field.
- Issues on some GPUs. (see T72489) (But I'm sure this one will have other issues as well heh...)
- Fix T81092
I chose Unreal's Diaphragm DOF as a reference / goal implementation.
It is well described in the presentation "A Life of a Bokeh" by Guillaume Abadie.
You can check about it here https://epicgames.ent.box.com/s/s86j70iamxvsuu6j35pilypficznec04
Along side the main implementation we provide a way to increase the quality by jittering the
camera position for each sample (the ones specified under the Sampling tab).
The jittering is dividing the actual post processing dof radius so that it fills the undersampling.
The user can still add more overblur to have a noiseless image, but reducing bokeh shape sharpness.
Effect of overblur (left without, right with):
| {F9603122} | {F9603123}|
The actual implementation differs a bit:
- Foreground gather implementation uses the same "ring binning" accumulator as background
but uses a custom occlusion method. This gives the problem of inflating the foreground elements
when they are over background or in-focus regions.
This is was a hard decision but this was preferable to the other method that was giving poor
opacity masks for foreground and had other more noticeable issues. Do note it is possible
to improve this part in the future if a better alternative is found.
- Use occlusion texture for foreground. Presentation says it wasn't really needed for them.
- The TAA stabilisation pass is replace by a simple neighborhood clamping at the reduce copy
stage for simplicity.
- We don't do a brute-force in-focus separate gather pass. Instead we just do the brute force
pass during resolve. Using the separate pass could be a future optimization if needed but
might give less precise results.
- We don't use compute shaders at all so shader branching might not be optimal. But performance
is still way better than our previous implementation.
- We mainly rely on density change to fix all undersampling issues even for foreground (which
is something the reference implementation is not doing strangely).
Remaining issues (not considered blocking for me):
- Slight defocus stability: Due to slight defocus bruteforce gather using the bare scene color,
highlights are dilated and make convergence quite slow or imposible when using jittered DOF
(or gives )
- ~~Slight defocus inflating: There seems to be a 1px inflation discontinuity of the slight focus
convolution compared to the half resolution. This is not really noticeable if using jittered
camera.~~ Fixed
- Foreground occlusion approximation is a bit glitchy and gives incorrect result if the
a defocus foreground element overlaps a farther foreground element. Note that this is easily
mitigated using the jittered camera position.
|{F9603114}|{F9603115}|{F9603116}|
- Foreground is inflating, not revealing background. However this avoids some other bugs too
as discussed previously. Also mitigated with jittered camera position.
|{F9603130}|{F9603129}|
- Sensor vertical fit is still broken (does not match cycles).
- Scattred bokeh shapes can be a bit strange at polygon vertices. This is due to the distance field
stored in the Bokeh LUT which is not rounded at the edges. This is barely noticeable if the
shape does not rotate.
- ~~Sampling pattern of the jittered camera position is suboptimal. Could try something like hammersley
or poisson disc distribution.~~Used hexaweb sampling pattern which is not random but has better
stability and overall coverage.
- Very large bokeh (> 300 px) can exhibit undersampling artifact in gather pass and quite a bit of
bleeding. But at this size it is preferable to use jittered camera position.
Codewise the changes are pretty much self contained and each pass are well documented.
However the whole pipeline is quite complex to understand from bird's-eye view.
Notes:
- There is the possibility of using arbitrary bokeh texture with this implementation.
However implementation is a bit involved.
- Gathering max sample count is hardcoded to avoid to deal with shader variations. The actual
max sample count is already quite high but samples are not evenly distributed due to the
ring binning method.
- While this implementation does not need 32bit/channel textures to render correctly it does use
many other textures so actual VRAM usage is higher than previous method for viewport but less
for render. Textures are reused to avoid many allocations.
- Bokeh LUT computation is fast and done for each redraw because it can be animated. Also the
texture can be shared with other viewport with different camera settings.
