Fix of conversion identity quaternion to axis angle. Basically,
if the length of the imaginary part-vector is zero, it is
incorrect to normalize it. Simple identity should be returned.

Fixed a crash when dynamic topology is active on multires displacement smear brush
Added a check for this case at the start of the brush stroke, with a user visible error message
and cancels the operator early so no topology is modified either.

Originally this would replace scripts that come bundled with Blender,
but it's unclear how this is useful.
Searching for this online mainly leads to people asking how they can
use it to add scripts. For example in a studio environment you might
want to deploy add-ons and startup scripts for all users.
Even if you wanted to use it for replacement though, it wasn't really
doing that and inconsistent for different types of scripts:
* startup: ignored
* modules: replaces bundled scripts
* presets: adds to bundled scripts
* addons (in 4.1): ignored
* addons_core (in 4.2): ignored
* startup/bl_app_templates_system: replaces bundled scripts
This change makes it add scripts from this path for all. This is a
breaking change, though arguably this feature was just broken to
begin with and not used much in practice because of that.
The alternative would be add a new set of environment variables to
avoid breaking existing behavior. But that also means keeping around the
broken behavior or fixing it in another way.
Supporting multiple paths may be used too, but for now just support
a single one as doing this for all BLENDER_SYSTEM variables is
non-trivial. The main use case for that would be add-ons anyway, and
those will mainly be handled through upcoming
BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS instead.

This PR changes the temporary viewers created in node groups by Connect to Output in two ways:
- Rename it, as it is currently called "tmp_viewer", which stands out
as strange and code-like. It is renamed to "(Viewer)", which can be
translated.
- Use the actual connected socket type.
Currently the viewer uses hardcoded socket types (Geometry for Geometry
Nodes, Shader for shader nodes). While in GN we can only connect
geometry to the output, in shader nodes other types can be inspected.
This change allows the tmp_viewer to use the type of the actual socket
being inspected, to have a better idea of what it contains from
outside the group.
It can be especially useful if a group is used in multiple materials
and different sockets are being previewed in each one.
It also does some cleanup, details in the commits.

Update .glb / .gltf extension
Part of #122783
Still remaining the change of default (grayed) value if user didn't set filepath yet
But not sure this can be accessible from python API
Additional requirement is to have OpenImageDenoiser, and the devices
should not support OIDN denoiser.
Reproduced here in the studio with a system on Linux with either double
Quadro GP100 cards, and Limnux with Quadro 6000 + Quadro 6000 ADA.
The reason for the crash is that the find_best_device() might return
nullptr, and it was never checked.

When a file is created with pre- 4.2 version, but is open with 4.2 version:
We can now detect the automatically created node setup
Wrong for the exact value of the cutoff, but better than nothing to get it detected
A bit on shaky ground here, but it looks like we actually dont want to
execute the hovered buttons value/op if we chose another item in the pie
menu. This can be achieved by using the **onfree** arg to
`button_activate_exit` called on the active(hovered) button.
Not sure if this is the correct solution tbh (but maybe it demonstrates
where the bug of #122526 can be located).
I have tested pie menus with this patch and they seems to behave
normally (even nested ones).

Based on feedback in !122727, include previously built-in add-ons
in the built-in extensions panel even if there is no support for
adding it back via the extensions repository.
The translation extraction goes through each keyconfig preset file and
activates it in order to extract its messages. This change makes it
restore the original config, otherwise it would end up switching to
Industry Compatible.

Since import images as mesh planes operator was added recently in core
Blender, it is now easy to also support converting image empties to mesh
planes by reusing the same code.
This results in a fast workflow where you can use Blender's drag & drop
& align feature for reference images, and quickly turn them into meshes
without registering second file handler and clicking anything before
import is finished.

Previously, Cycles would render up to 4SPP during viewport navigation when
using reduced resolution, even when the overall number of samples was set
lower.
This causes problems with the blue-noise pattern, so ensure that the
number of samples is always clamped to the configured maximum.
Seems to be dependent on specific compiler/cmake version.
Is a typical mixture of missing dependencies between libraries,
object files which do not get referenced from other files in the
target, and whole-archive linking of the blender_test target.

Allows to import multiple alembic files in single operator call.
When importing multiple alembic files as background job, import progress
will be divided by all files, so if `5` files are imported, each file
will make progress of `20%`. This can be improved if the job text can be
customized to display for example `Import Alembic 1/5` and using 100%
progress status display for each file, but that is out of the scope of
this pr.
The Scene min and max frame are set based on the minimum/maximum frame
ranges detected from all files.

This change adds the ability to export MaterialX networks into the resulting
USD layer.
Details:
A new export option has been added to the USD export to enable MaterialX
export. It is off by default currently due to reasons in the caveats
section.
When enabled, it exports the MaterialX shading network alongside the
UsdPreviewSurface network, on the same USD Material. This allows the same
material to be used by renderers that don't support MaterialX, using the
USDPreviewSurface as a fallback. This is similar to setups in other DCC
packages, and matches the format we've used in our Reality Composer Pro
asset library.
It uses the existing MaterialX framework used to generate MaterialX
documents for rendering, to act as the basis for the USD graph. In this
process it also re-uses the existing texture export code as well if provided
and necessary.
Once the MaterialX document is created, use usdMtlx to generate a USD
shading network. Unfortunately, usdMtlx generates a graph that is unlike
what other DCCs that support MaterialX-embedded-in-USD generates. It
generates several extra prim hierarchies, and externalizes all shader
inputs, making them difficult to edit in other MaterialX graph editors.
To workaround this, generate the MaterialX shading network onto a
temporary stage, where we then run various pre-processing steps to prevent
prim collisions and to reflow the paths once they're converted.
The PrimSpecs are then copied over to their new path. The resulting prim
hierarchy matches what many artists we've worked with prefer to work with.
Caveats:
The Export MaterialX check is off by default. When using the Principled
BSDF, the resulting graph is very usable. However, when using some of the
other BSDFs, the shading networks generated by the existing MaterialX
framework in Blender generate some shading graphs that are difficult for
usdview and other DCC's to understand. The graph is still correct, but
because we're trying to prioritize compatibility, the default is off.
In future PRs we can aim to make the graphs for those other BSDFs play
better with other DCCs.
Other Implementation Details:
As part of this commit we've also done the following:
* Place some of the materialx graphs inside a passthrough nodegraph to
avoid node conflicts.
* Better handle some shader output types , and better handle some
conflict cases.
* Moved the ExportTextureFunction to materials.h due to some difficult
to resolve header ordering issues. This has no effect on any runtime code.
* There is a test for the MaterialX export that does some basic checking to
make sure we get an export out the other end that matches our expectations

This PR is based on an earlier implementation by Brecht van Lommel , as well

This is the first commit of the several required to support
subprocess-based parallel compilation on OpenGL.
This provides the base API and implementation, and exposes the max
subprocesses setting on the UI, but it's not used by any code yet.
More information and the rest of the code can be found in #121925.
This one includes:
- A new `GPU_shader_batch` API that allows requesting the compilation
of multiple shaders at once, allowing GPU backed to compile them in
parallel and asynchronously without blocking the Blender UI.
- A virtual `ShaderCompiler` class that backends can use to add their
own implementation.
- A `ShaderCompilerGeneric` class that implements synchronous/blocking
compilation of batches for backends that don't have their own
implementation yet.
- A `GLShaderCompiler` that supports parallel compilation using
subprocesses.
- A new `BLI_subprocess` API, including IPC (required for the
`GLShaderCompiler` implementation).
- The implementation of the subprocess program in
`GPU_compilation_subprocess`.
- A new `Max Shader Compilation Subprocesses` option in
`Preferences > System > Memory & Limits` to enable parallel shader
compilation and the max number of subprocesses to allocate (each
subprocess has a relatively high memory footprint).
Implementation Overview:
There's a single `GLShaderCompiler` shared by all OpenGL contexts.
This class stores a pool of up to `GCaps.max_parallel_compilations`
subprocesses that can be used for compilation.
Each subprocess has a shared memory pool used for sending the shader
source code from the main Blender process and for receiving the already
compiled shader binary from the subprocess. This is synchronized using
a series of shared semaphores.
The subprocesses maintain a shader cache on disk inside a
`BLENDER_SHADER_CACHE` folder at the OS temporary folder.
Shaders that fail to compile are tried to be compiled again locally for
proper error reports.
Hanged subprocesses are currently detected using a timeout of 30s.

There is a mechanism to store config files in the same folder as the
Blender executable. The typical use case is putting Blender on a USB
drive and taking the config with you.
However the problem is that this is using the 4.2/ folder, which is fine
for config/ but with e.g. addons, studiolights and now extensions this
is mixing user and system files. This requires exceptions, doesn't
work well in some cases and is just generally not great design.
Instead use a folder named portable/ that is separate.

This was caused by float imprecision in the NDF computation when
alpha was very close to 0. The alpha clamping threshold for the
eval function needs to be higher than the one for the sampling
function.
Fix#118997
With two viewports, and one viewport with overlays turned off, one viewport
first requests positions without calculating loose geometry, then the second
viewport can request the loose geometry index buffer. In that case the
previously-calculated positions VBO has the wrong size.
To fix this, always calculate loose geometry when the positions are requested.
That's required because we no simple way of checking whether the previously
uploaded positions included loose geometry. That was the state before recent
refactors in this area anyway.
This makes it clear that the optimization to not calculate loose geometry is
meaningless, because the positions buffer will always be requested at some
point when drawing a mesh.
It seems that when ensure_nodetree_previews calls duplicate_material,
ntreeLocalize removes the muted node from the copy of the nodetree,
so later in ensure_nodetree_previews nodeFindNodebyName can't find it
and therefore parent is NULL.
With this change, the muted node just doesn't get its preview updated.

This fixes a number of issue with the pixel radius calculation.
- Fix factor of 2 being in the wrong place.
- `narrowing` is removed as this is not what we want
to compute (see comment).
- The `lod_min` is not the actual minimum LOD. Clamp by
both `clipmap_lod_min` and `clipmap_lod_max`.
The Film-like curve mapping option in the RGB Curves node in the
compositor produces bad results when editing its RGB curves. That's
because Film-like curve mapping only works with the combined curve by
definition, since it is a hue preserving mapping. Furthermore, the
Film-like option ignored the white balancing step altogether.
To fix this, we hide the current curve option for the File-like option
and only allow editing the combined curve, handing the same case for
versioning and RNA updates. Further, we port the implementation from the
realtime compositor which is both correct and takes white balancing into
account.

This is a proper fix for the issue worked around in 11d311e300.
Previously, an incorrect condition adjustment of the device info
was done for a preferred device. Now, this change reverts that
condition, and the adjustment is done correctly and unconditionally.
This was caused by #122706 which moved the
versioning after linking where the engine is
already changed to EEVEE-Next. This made the
versioning never run.

Both these operators would quite often put the framed strips offscreen.
This was in part due to the padding need to make sure that the strips
were not going to be obscured by the scrub area or overlays not being
applied or calculated correctly.
In addition to that, the view positioning logic was not in sync with the
vertical clamping code. This lead to the operators positioning the view
into a forbidden state. So the clamping logic would adjust the view
afterwards and thus put some of the framed strips offscreen.
This patch unifies the logic used by the "frame X" operators and the
clamping code, making them play nice with each other.
