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:
- This file can be extended with `ColorHex/Hsl/Hsv` for different representations
of rgb based colors. `ColorHsl4f<eSpace::SceneLinear, eAlpha::Premultiplied>`
- Add non RGB spaces/storages ColorXyz.

Previously, the signature of a `MultiFunction` was always embedded into the function.
There are two issues with that. First, `MFSignature` is relatively large, because it contains
multiple strings and vectors. Secondly, constructing it can add overhead that should not
be necessary, because often the same signature can be reused.
The solution is to only keep a pointer to a signature in `MultiFunction` that is set during
construction. Child classes are responsible for making sure that the signature lives
long enough. In most cases, the signature is either embedded into the child class or
it is allocated statically (and is only created once).
When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case
that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are
the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such
functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value
for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it
might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs
involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`.
It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods.
Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array
of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used
when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when
building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual
data structures before, but now they are more versatile.
I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of
geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used
independent of the function system.
One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`)
should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain
any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.
This patch adds the ability to mute individual wires in the node editor.
This is invoked like the cut links operator but with a new shortcut.
Mute = Ctrl + Alt
Cut = Ctrl
Dragging over wires will toggle the mute state for that wire.
The muted wires are drawn in red with a bar across the center.
Red is used in the nodes context to indicate invalid links, muted links and internal links.
When a wire is muted it exposes the original node buttons which are normally hidden when a wire is connected.
Downstream and upstream links connected using reroute nodes are also muted.
Outside scope of patch:
- Add support for pynodes e.g. Animation Nodes
- Requires minor change to check for muted links using the `is_muted` link property or the `is_linked` socket property.

The actual sample count is rounded up to a multiple of 4 because we
sample 4 horizons directions.
Changing this setting forces the shader to recompile (because using a
GPU_constant).
This is a complete rewrite of the derived node tree data structure.
It is a much thinner abstraction about `NodeTreeRef` than before.
This gives the user of the derived node tree more control and allows
for greater introspection capabilities (e.g. before muted nodes were
completely abstracted away; this was convenient, but came with
limitations).
Another nice benefit of the new structure is that it is much cheaper
to build, because it does not inline all nodes and sockets in nested
node groups.

Anisotropic is not really supported in Eevee, but since code looks like
it is just intended to make it behave like glossy, it should function

Seems like the internal calling from `node_bsdf_glossy` from

Also: ssr_id is available for SH_NODE_BSDF_ANISOTROPIC as well (see

This adds an approximation of inverted AO by reversing the max horizon
search (becoming a min horizon). The horizons are correctly clamped in
the reverse direction to the shading and geometric normals.
The arc integration is untouched as it seems to be symetrical.
The limitation of this technique is that since it is still screen-space
AO you don't get other hidden surfaces occlusion. This is more
problematic in the case of inverted AO than for normal AO but it's
better than no support AO.
Support of distance parameter was easy thanks to recent AO refactor.
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.

When the displacement space is set to SHD_SPACE_WORLD, the GLSL method
"node_displacement_world" is used instead of the "node_displacement_object" method. The two GLSL methods:
```
void node_displacement_object(
float height, float midlevel, float scale, vec3 N, mat4 obmat, out vec3 result)
{
N = (vec4(N, 0.0) * obmat).xyz;
result = (height - midlevel) * scale * normalize(N);
result = (obmat * vec4(result, 0.0)).xyz;
}
void node_displacement_world(float height, float midlevel, float scale, vec3 N, out vec3 result)
{
result = (height - midlevel) * scale * normalize(N);
}
```
In contrast to the "node_displacement_object" method, the "node_displacement_world"
does not require an "obmat" parameter. Attempting to still pass "GPU_builtin(GPU_OBJECT_MATRIX)"
as additional parameter will result in a memory leak. The "GPUNodeLink" allocated in
the "GPU_builtin" method will never get released.
Fixes T83941 Memory leak when using the Displacement shader node in Eevee with the displacement
space set to "World Space"
In glsl the clamp function has undefined behavior when min > max. For
the clamp node this resulted in differences between cycles and eevee.
This patch adds the expected implementation for minmax.
The old clamp function is still used in cases where we know for certain
that the input values are correct (math node clamp option). GPU uses
optimized code and silicon in these cases.
This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.
