We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
Changes for 2.8x to use EvaluationContext caused some confusion
- Would use scene layer passed from snap context.
- Would generate duplis from Main eval context.
- Would take context argument and use it to create another eval context.
Adding context args all over and filling in a new eval-context
for every ray-cast test isn't ideal either.
Remove the context argument since the purpose of
SnapObjectContext is to avoid this kind of confusion.
Store the EvaluationContext once and re-use.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
See intern/gawain for the API change. Other files are updated to use the new name. Also updated every call site to the recommended style:
unsigned int foo = VertexFormat_add_attrib(format, "foo", COMP_ ... )

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

- the name of the enumerator `SNAP_NOT_OBEDIT` was changed to `SNAP_NOT_ACTIVE`.
- the parameter `snap_to_flag` was moved to outside `SnapObjectParams`.
- the member `use_object_edit` was renamed to `use_object_edit_cage`.
- added the arg `params` in `ED_transform_snap_object_project_ray`.
- simplifications in the loop of the function `snapObjectsRay`.
Take advantage of the efficiency provided by the snap_context.
Also fixes errors:
- volume snap fails based on view angle (T48394).
- multiple instances of dupli-objects break volume calculation.
Pass distance argument so its possible to limit the range we get all hits from.
Other changes:
- Use boundbox test before calling callback, avoids redundant calls.
- Remove meaningless return value.
- Add doc string, explaining purpose of this function.
Separate the creation of trees from EditMesh from the creation of trees from DerivedMesh.
This was meant to simplify the API, but didn't work out so well.
`bvhtree_from_mesh_*` actually is working as `bvhtree_from_derivedmesh_*`.
This is inconsistent with the trees created from EditMesh. Since for create them does not use the DerivedMesh.
In such cases the dm is being used only to cache the tree in the struct DerivedMesh. What is immediately released once
bvhtree is being used in functions that change(tag) the DM cleaning the cache.
- Use a filter function so users of SnapObjectContext can define how edit-mesh elements are handled.
- Remove em_evil.
- bvhtree of EditMesh is now really cached in the snap functions.
- Code becomes organized and easier to maintain.
This is an important patch for future improvements in snapping functions.
This introduces a snap-context that can be re-used for casting rays into the scene
(by operators such as walk-mode, ruler and transform code).
This can be used to cache data between calls too.
Same causes as when snapping to faces, so same solution: in case of ortho view,
offset start of ray to be just slightly outside of the target's bbox, to avoid
too much far away start point that generate floating point computation instability
in BVH raycasting.
Note that this lead to some refactoring, to avoid duplicating too much of code.
For now, edge snapping seems to behave OK (uses different logic), so not touched.
Based on patch by Germano Cavalcante (@mano-wii), thanks!
In some cases transform modes would use the custom-data pointer,
other times the transform conversion functions would.
However with some combinations (bone mirror + bend for eg),
both conversion & transform mode would use this pointer causing a crash.
Fix this by having 2 custom-data pointers:
one for the mode, another for the data-type.
This also simplifies time-slide which was conditionally mixing mode/type data in the one array.
Checking for 'Closest' here isn't needed since
TransSnap.snapTarget callback is already ensuring the selected target is the closest.
Also don't reuse the pre-calculated distance,
since its only valid to do this when there are no snap points
and this isn't a significant gain to avoid the extra calculation - run once per update.
We cannot use FLT_MAX as initi distance for raycast...
Renamed TRANSFORM_DIST_MAX_RAY to BVH_RAYCAST_DIST_MAX, moved it into BLI_kdopbvh,
and use in RNA raycast callbacks (and all other places using that API).
This was getting very hard to follow,
- mixing input/output args.
- mixing arg order between functions.
- arg names (mode, snap_mode) rename to (snap_to, snap_select)
Added a helper that ensures a bbox has some non-NULL dimension along all its axes.
Also, fixed some (rather unlikely) NULL dereference cases (though it should not in this context,
`BKE_object_boundbox_get()` can return NULL).
