Rewrite of the Workbench engine using C++ and the new Draw Manager API.
The new engine can be enabled in Blender `Preferences > Experimental > Workbench Next`.
After that, the engine can be selected in `Properties > Scene > Render Engine`.
When `Workbench Next` is the active engine, it also handles the `Solid` viewport mode rendering.
The rewrite aims to be functionally equivalent to the current Workbench engine, but it also includes some small fixes/tweaks:
- `In Front` rendered objects now work correctly with DoF and Shadows.
- The `Sampling > Viewport` setting is actually used when the viewport is in `Render Mode`.
- In `Texture` mode, textured materials also use the material properties. (Previously, only non textured materials would)
To do:
- Sculpt PBVH.
- Volume rendering.
- Hair rendering.
- Use the "no_geom" shader versions for shadow rendering.
- Decide the final API for custom visibility culling (Needed for shadows).
- Profile/optimize.
Known Issues:
- Matcaps are not loaded until they’re shown elsewhere. (e.g. when opening the `Viewort Shading` UI)
- Outlines are drawn between different materials of the same object. (Each material submesh has its own object handle)
