For some we may add per object overrides, but for most we plan to keep them
strictly per viewport settings. Display settings from the mesh still need to
be moved here, only collections were done to remove that code.
Because:
- Less redundancy.
- Better suffixes.
Also a few modification to GPU_texture_create_* to simplify the API:
- make the format explicit to the texture creation process.
- remove the component count as it's specified in the GPUTextureFormat.
This refactor modernise the use of framebuffers.
It also touches a lot of files so breaking down changes we have:
- GPUTexture: Allow textures to be attached to more than one GPUFrameBuffer.
This allows to create and configure more FBO without the need to attach
and detach texture at drawing time.
- GPUFrameBuffer: The wrapper starts to mimic opengl a bit closer. This
allows to configure the framebuffer inside a context other than the one
that will be rendering the framebuffer. We do the actual configuration
when binding the FBO. We also Keep track of config validity and save
drawbuffers state in the FBO. We remove the different bind/unbind
functions. These make little sense now that we have separate contexts.
- DRWFrameBuffer: We replace DRW_framebuffer functions by GPU_framebuffer
ones to avoid another layer of abstraction. We move the DRW convenience
functions to GPUFramebuffer instead and even add new ones. The MACRO
GPU_framebuffer_ensure_config is pretty much all you need to create and
config a GPUFramebuffer.
- DRWTexture: Due to the removal of DRWFrameBuffer, we needed to create
functions to create textures for thoses framebuffers. Pool textures are
now using default texture parameters for the texture type asked.
- DRWManager: Make sure no framebuffer object is bound when doing cache
filling.
- GPUViewport: Add new color_only_fb and depth_only_fb along with FB API
usage update. This let draw engines render to color/depth only target
and without the need to attach/detach textures.
- WM_window: Assert when a framebuffer is bound when changing context.
This balance the fact we are not track ogl context inside GPUFramebuffer.
- Eevee, Clay, Mode engines: Update to new API. This comes with a lot of
code simplification.
This also come with some cleanups in some engine codes.
I tried to use real multisampling but the main problem is the outline detection that needs to have matching depth samples.
So adding FXAA instead. Always on for now, may add a parameter for it later.
One thing to note is that we need to copy the final output once again to the main color buffer because we cannot swap the dtxl textures (they can be referenced elsewhere like GPUOffscreen).
We could improve upon this and add TAA on top if viewport is still.
This means that rendering clay with AO only needs 1 geometry pass.
Thus greatly improving performance of poly heavy scene.
This also fix a self shadow issue in the AO, making low sample count
way better.
We also do not need to blit the depth anymore since we
are doing a fullscreen shading pass.
The constant cost of running the a deferred shading pass is negligeable.
This include quite a bit of code cleanup inside clay_engine.c.
The deferred pipeline is only enabled if at least one material needs it.
Multisampling is not supported yet.
Small hacks when doing deferred:
- We invert the normal before encoding it for precision.
- We put the facing direction into the sign of the mat_id.
- We dither the normal to fight the low bitdepth artifacts of the normal
buffer (which is 8bits per channel to reduce bandwidth usage).
For simplicity we choose to execute the rendering of Opengl engines in the main thread and block the interface.
This might be addressed in the future at least for video rendering.
A drawmanager wrapper (DRW_render_to_image) is called by the render pipeline to set up the Opengl state and then call the specific draw_engine->render_to_image function.
This optimisation only works if no material in the scene require the AO pass.
For this either set the AO distance to 0 or both Cavity and Edges factors to 0.
This double the performance of scenes with very high triangle count.
This is an improvement on the old spining quad method that was giving artifacts when the reflection ray was nearly aligned with the sphere center.
This might be a bit heavier but it's worth it.
This allows a duplicator (as known as dupli parent) to be in a visible
collection so its duplicated objects are visible, however while being
invisible for the final render.
An object that is a particle emitter is also considered a duplicator.
Many thanks for the reviewers for the extense feedback.

This replaces dedicated flag which wasn't clean who sets it and who clears it,
and which was also trying to re-implement existing functionality in a way.
Flushing is not currently very efficient but there are ways to speed this up
a lot, but needs more investigation.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

From GL spec :
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if mask contains GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT or GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT and the source and destination depth and stencil formats do not match.
So blitting framebuffer with depth or stencil require the SAME FORMAT.
This is in order to use the same texture on multiple sampler.
Also texture counter is reset after each shading group. This mimics the previous behaviour.
We generate a 3D lut to precompute the btdf intensity.
I decided to use a 64*64*16 (N dot V, ior, roughness) because the btdf varies less with roughness than with IOR.
We also remap the ior to better use the space in the LUT.
We still do it a few times, but that helps already. Related to T51718.
Note that it also reinforces the idea that any geometry datablock will
have a generated copy-on-write Mesh provided by Depsgraph.
Replace completly random noise by Blue noisen, giving a better aspect.
Also randomize the distance in the sample direction to cover the whole distance even with 1 sample. Using another blue noise for this.
Replace spiral samples (that had tendency to align if the number of samples was near the chosen constant) with Hammersley samples that have good coverage even for low number of samples.
Use a UBO instead of Texture (a bit less latency) making things a tiny bit faster.
Move the noise data to the SceneLayerData, because each render layer can have a different sample count.
