This continues the cmake modernization effort and introduces support for allowing our optional dependencies to integrate properly. TBB is added here as it's proven troublesome to maintain correctly. Currently the only Blender project which uses the TBB headers directly is `blenlib`. However, all downstream projects which require blenlib as their dependency, and wish to properly make use of its threading facilities, needed to define various TBB items in their CMake files. Not only is this unnecessary and arcane, but several projects didn't do this and ended up not using threading as well as producing ODR violations along the way[1]. This PR makes TBB a modern dependency and exposes it PUBLIC'ly from `blenlib`. All downstream projects which depend on blenlib will now receive everything they require from TBB automatically. This includes the `WITH_TBB` define, the headers, and the library itself. [1] blender/blender@05241f47f5 Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/124916
Mantaflow
Mantaflow is an open-source framework targeted at fluid simulation research in Computer Graphics. Its parallelized C++ solver core, python scene definition interface and plugin system allow for quickly prototyping and testing new algorithms.
In addition, it provides a toolbox of examples for deep learning experiments with fluids. E.g., it contains examples how to build convolutional neural network setups in conjunction with the tensorflow framework.
