- Layout changes
- Use panels instead of boxes resulting in a more compact UI,
more suitable to the drag-and-drop UI.
- Make all enum options to drop-down menus.
- Rename the title of `Position` box to `Transform`.
- Remove sub-headers `Plane dimensions`,
`Orientation` under Transform box.
- Move offset related options to the bottom. Importing a single
plane would be more common use case.
- Rename "Animate Image Sequences" to "Detect Image Sequences".
- Rename several labels and option names. Since drop-down allows more
space, make some option names verbose.
- Remove the warning `'Opaque' does not support alpha`. It should be
obvious from usual Blender usage, and doesn't need a special warning
from the add-on.
- Disable Alpha Mode options instead of hiding it when use alpha is
unchecked.
- Hide Track Camera option instead of disabling it when supported
align modes are selected.
- Fix or rewrite several tool-tips.
Original PR by Sun Kim: blender/blender-addons!104936
Ref: !122345
Co-authored-by: Sun Kim <perplexing.sun@gmail.com>
This PR adds the *Polyline Mask*, *Polyline Face Set*, and
*Polyline Trim* tools.
## Limitations
* *Polyline Face Set* is not added to either of the *Sculpt*
or *Face Sets* menu as none of the other face set gestures are in
either.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122248
This PR adds the `Line Face Set` tool and adds it to the following
location:
* Sculpt Mode toolbar
## Limitations
None of the existing Face Set gesture operators exist in either the
Sculpt dropdown or the Face Set dropdown, this PR does not add the Line
Face set tool in either location as well.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122245
This PR adds a new operator: `PAINT_OT_visibility_edit` to support
iteratively expanding or shrinking the visibility of a mesh, similar to
the *Grow / Shrink Mask* actions and the *Grow / Shrink Face Set*
options. This operator is exposed via two new entries in the *Sculpt*
toolbar entry as *Show More* and *Show Less* and have also been
assigned to Page Up and Page Down in the default Blender keybinds for
Sculpt Mode.
### Technical Details
Each of the PBVH types is solved slightly differently, though the
general principle for each is as follows:
1. Make a copy of the current mesh visibility state
2. Iterate over elements (faces & corners if available, otherwise
vertices) to look at adjacency information
3. Apply appropriate visibility change to vertices
4. Sync face visibility
### Limitations
* Currently, like all other operators in the `paint_hide.cc` file. This
new operator is limited to Sculpt mode only.
Based off of [this](https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/pz4y/)
RCS request.

As Node Wrangler add-on is moving to extensions platform and maybe isn't shipped
with Blender from 4.2 onwards, some of it's more important functionalities which are
crucial for Blender UX can be ported inside core. Also see #121749.
This PR ports "Preview Node" operator from add-on inside `scripts/startup/bl_operators`.
When Shift-Ctrl (or Shift-Alt) clicked on the node operator connects output socket of the
node to active Output node in the tree (group, material, light, or world output). For Geometry
Nodes this is just handy operator, but in Shader Nodes, because Viewer Node isn't
implemented, this has always been the only way to quickly preview nodes by connecting
it to Material Output.
Changes made from Node Wrangler version:
- Renamed operator from "Preview Node" to "**Connect to Output**", because node previews
already mean a different thing in context of compositor and shader editor, and viewer node
is used for previewing in geometry nodes. Connect to Output is correct name because in every
context it's called that's what it does.
- Assigned shortcut Shift-Alt-Click in shader editor as well. Even though Shift-Ctrl click already
works, it's good to have consistency with geometry nodes, so that users can use same shortcut
in both contexts.
Operator doesn't work in compositor. It's not clear if that's wanted (to connect to Composite node),
and if it is it'll be added in separate PR.

This node allows replacing the transformation of every instance by providing a matrix.
Before, this was only possible by using the Store Named Attribute node. It's more common
in Blender to have specialized built-in nodes for built-in attributes (e.g. Set Position, and Set ID).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/121473
While easier to understand, the conventionnal global
scene thickness parameter have some downside:
- It doesn't scale with larger scenes since the
distant samples have small thickness
- It doesn't handle fine geometric variation in
foreground.
The proposed angular thicknes makes all sample
have the same angular span. This makes it
distance independant and capture different occluder
thickness with less artifacts. The downside is
that the occluders have the same angular span
at any distance which makes the same occluder inflate
with distance.
A downside is that the geometry near the shading point is
under-represented. Leaving light leaking or lack of AO
at contact points. To fix this, we introduce back a
geometric thickness parameter.

When importing images as planes, on Size Mode update, this error would
be raised in the console because the update tried to assign a value to
a nonexistent member of the class:
Ref: !122343
Extract
- Add to Quick Favorites tooltip.
- "Mask", the name of a newly created mask (DATA_).
- "New" in the context of the new mask ID button.
- A few strings using BLI_STR_UTF8_ defines were not extracted.
Take the special characters out of the translation macros.
- "External" menu items from the filebrowser's Files context
menu (right-click on a file). These items were already extracted,
but not translated.
Improve
- Separate formatted error message "%s is not compatible with
["the specified", "any"] 'refresh' options" into two messages.
Disambiguate
- Use Action context for new F-modifiers' names. This is already used
for the "type" operator prop.
- Translate ImportHelper's default confirmation text using the
Operator context, as it uses the operator name which is extracted
with this context.
- "Scale" can be a noun, the scale of something, or a verb, to scale
something. The latter mostly uses the Operator context, so apply
this context to verbs, and the default contexts to nouns.
- "Scale Influence" can mean "Influence on Scale" (tracking
stabilization) and "to Scale the Influence" (dynamic paint canvas).
- "Object Line Art" as type of Line Art to add, as opposed to the
active object's Line Art settings.
- Float to Integer node: use NodeTree context for the node label, as
this is already extracted and used for the enum.
Do not translate
- Sequencer labels containing only a string formatting field.
Some issues reported by Gabriel Gazzán and Ye Gui.

This new `Method` property allows to replace Diffuse GI
by simple ambient occlusion. This can be desirable for
performance or look.
This doesn't add the memory savings but there are already
some performance gain by using this option.
Implementation of the proposal in: #121535
When drawing with "project to surface" turned on, it is now possible to restrict the projection to only the selected objects.
This is really useful for drawing onto surfaces that has a lot of detail meshes that you don't want to project onto.
Add the operator from the io_import_images_as_planes add-on,
making it a built-in operator.
The main differences with the add-on are:
- Compositor integration has been removed.
- The file handler for dropping images has been removed
to avoid a popup whenever images are dropped onto Blender.
There were also changes to follow Blender's core scripts more closely:
- Defer imports where possible.
- Use `str.format`.
- Use double-quotes for non-enum strings.
- Remove or "_" prefix unused arguments.
- Avoid unnecessary use back-slashes for wrapping lines.
Otherwise all other functionality has been kept.

This allow to reduce the amount of noise and reduce
the lost energy caused by low thickness and large
stride (low sample count).
Actual number of rays is twice the UI count.
The reasonning is that we already have a resolution limit
slider per light.
The global shadow resolution scale is usefull as a quick
speedup option to reduce shadow cost for viewport regular
work or for quick rendering. For final render, the per
light resolution limit is more suited than a LOD scale
since it doesn't modify the filtering of based on distance
from the camera.
This feature is really not hard to add back if there is
a compelling use case for it.
Though the whole modifier menu could use a reorganization, it probably doesn't
make sense to do that before we have a builtin library of node group assets.
We already have the "Normals" category though, so these two modifiers make
more sense there.

In a recent module meeting
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/2024-05-21-grease-pencil-module-meeting/34755
it was proposed to to make "Delete Group" delete everything
(the group with children) and use "Ungroup"
for just deleting the group while keeping the children.
This implements the suggested change that was agreed upon.
The "Whole Character" keying set might fail to insert keys
when a property cannot be resolved.
This occurred on the Ellie rig from the Blender Studio.
The failing property was called "bone gizmo".
The fix is to check if `rna_property` exists.

Add a preference to "Work Offline" system preference as well as command
line options `--offline-mode` & `--online-mode`
(which overrides the preference).
This option is displayed in the initial setup screen too.
This is currently respected by:
- Check for updates on startup
- Disables running an update when enabling extensions.
When Blender is launched with `--offline-mode` the option cannot be
enabled in the preferences. This is intended for environments
where internet access is intentionally disallowed.
Background: with Blender supporting access to online-repositories
as well as 3rd party extensions themselves potentially accessing the
internet. This setting provides a way for users to disable online
functionality.
This prevents error messages when online access fails in environments
without internet access as well as the ability for users who prefer
Blender doesn't access the internet to have one place to turn this off.
While it does not enforce limitations on add-ons, 3rd party scripts
are expected to respect this setting using `bpy.app.internet_offline`.
The details for this will be handled along with other policies scripts
are expected to follow.

Split single keymap definition into timeline and preview as well as LCS
and RCS definitions.
This improves readability of keymap code.
Tweak and Box Select tools will now use "Sequencer Timeline Tool",
or "Sequencer Preview Tool" entries instead of "Sequencer Tool", so
custom keymaps or scripts have to be updated.

This introduce a new "secret" per-repository property of type password
as described by #121856.
A token or secret may be used by some non blender.org repositories.
This only shows for remote repositories and is shown in the
"Add Remote Repository" popup.
This commit doesn't implement sending to token to the server which will
be implemented separately.

- Replace f-string with str.format
- Comment type annotations.
- Use double-quote for non-enum strings.
- Use single instead of double-underscores for private functions.
This pull request adds an "Active Element" node that exposes the active
vertex, edge, or face index to the geometry node tool context. The
presence of an active element is available as a boolean.
This node enables the creation of "active-to-selected" style operators.

No functional changes.
- Remove unnecessary variable declarations.
- Declare wm & prefs at the function beginning
to prevent noisy patches in case they're used elsewhere in the future.
- Correct invalid comment.
Jittered Soft Shadows support.
Improves soft shadow quality at the cost of re-rendering shadow maps every sample.
Disabled by default in the viewport unless enabled in the Scene settings.

Tracing-only is the method used by default in EEVEE-Next.
Jitter-only is the method used by EEVEE-Legacy Soft Shadows.
Jitter+Over-blur combines both.

Add-ons which were enabled but not found warn on startup
and were shown under "Missing scripts", where they can be ignored
(the user can choose to restore the paths) or disabled them to suppress
the warnings in future.
This is now available again, with a minor refactor.
