Newly computed custom normals were forgotten during poly flipping, leading
to wrong custom normals being assigned to wrong loop...
Dead simple, but was tough to track down this one!
At the moment light shading in Blender is produced in viewspace. Apparently, that's why
shader nodes work with normals in camera space. But it is not convenient for artists.
The more convenient approach is implemented in Cycles where normals are represented in world space.
Blend4Web Team designed the engine keeping in mind shader parameters readability,
so normals are interpreted in world space as well. And now our users have to use some tweaks, like
empty node group with the name "Replace", which is replacing one input by another on the engine side
(replacing working configuration in Blender Viewport by the configuration that has the same behavior in the engine).
This patch adds the ability to switch to world space for normals and lamp vector in BI and Viewport.
This patch is very important to us and we crave to see this patch in Blender 2.7 because
it will significantly simplify Blend4Web material creation workflow.

Was using O(n^2) lookup on ID's with undo.
This caused undo to hang with 1000's of data-blocks
(especially with heavy scenes & outliner-space, which doesn't even need to be visible to cause a slow-down).
Internally this uses a ghash per id-type, which is lazy-initialized.
Each key uses the name and library since there may be name collisions between libraries.
Developer Notes:
- Adds small `BKE_main_idmap_*` API.
- Needed to change linking order for this to build.
Makes behavior of proxy_from backlink working similar to the old dependency graph.
it's nasty, but needed here in the studio to get proxies fixes ASAP.
FCurve evaluation depended on FCurve.curval, which isn't threadsafe.
Now only use this value for debug display,
and pass the value instead of storing in the FCurve for all but debug-display.
That was a nice and funny hunt, albeit rather time consumming!
To summarize, so far code was using a static global gpu_buffer for pbvh vbo drawing
of 'grid' types (multires mostly?).
There were two issues here:
1) Global gpu buffer was assigned to GPU_PBVH_Buffers->index_buf, but then nearly no
check was done when freeing that buffer, to ensure we were not freeing the global one
(not totally sure this one was actually causing any issue, but was bad and unsafe anyway).
Was solved by adding a flag to GPU_PBVH_Buffers to indicate when we are using some
'common' buffer here, which freeing is handled separately.
2) Main issue: if several multires objects in sculpt mode with different grid size
were present simultaneously, the global gpu buffer had to be resized for each object draw
(i.e., freed and re-allocated), but then the pbvh nodes from other objects storing freed reference
to that global buffer had no way to know that it had been freed, which was causing the segfault & crash.
Was solved by getting rid of that global buffer, and instead allocating one 'grid_commmon_gpu_buffer' per pbvh.
Told ya baby, globals are *PURE EVIL*!
This seems to be illegal and not productive anyway. Do it ahead of
a time now, which solves shading issues in edit mode and prevents
assert from happening.
A bit tricky, need to pass additional information about what the attribute
is and how to deal with it.
BI path stays unchanged, just to make things simplier for now.
Fixes T48555: Cycles GLSL- Incorrect Vertex Color results from Attribute node
Not replacing with some BLI_task_stuff here, tests show this is pointless
(in absolute best case - i.e. single huge mesh in scene - parallelizing here switches
from 0.8ms to 0.5ms for that piece of code - with something like 750ms per frame update...).
Gives over 50% faster scope update (from 4.5ms to 2.2ms here with SD shot)!
Probably mostly due to more clever usage of thread-local data (which avoids any lock,
when OMP code had a rather stupid critical section for minmax)...
The title says it all actually.
Added special custom data type, because we don't know in advance
whether we're referencing UV or Color layer. Also made it so vertex
attributes are normalized.
TODO: Border render in viewport ignores the normalization of the
attribute array for some reason, will be looked into still.

This commit makes Dynamicpaint modifier evaluation (during playback) a few percents quicker.
However, it makes dynapaint's 'image sequence' baking about 33% quicker (from 119 to 77 seconds
in own heavy test), partly due to switch to BLI_task itself (about 20%), and partly due to
optimizations (remaining ~13%).
As usual, did a lot of tests here to ensure nothing is broken, but a lot more users' testing would definitively
be welcome too! ;)
Note that some quite meaningless omp forloops have been removed (parallelizing thousands of vec copy does
make it two or three times quicker, but the few hundreds of microseconds gained do not make any difference
in a hundreds millisecond process).
Also, this code could still use a lot more cleanup (naming etc.), the way it (tries to) handle malloc faults
is also totally flacky and makes the code horribly verbose and convoluted in some places - without actually
catching all possible faults (memarena could make it more easy to handle here), etc.
Gives 3-4% speedup in pre-bake step (from 112 to 108 seconds with own heavy test file).
Note that here we have a huge potential performance boost if we replace the flat
`Bounds2D *faceBB` array of UV tris bounding boxes by a real 2D AABB tree (right now,
we can loop over all UV triangles times the number of pixels of the surface times 5...).
In addition to the original bug report, I've gone through cleaning up a range of
related bugs which only became clear when hunting around the code...
* Custom Handle References weren't getting cleared when the bones they used got
deleted. But, neither was the custom bone shape location/transform reference.
* Various places where posebone settings are copied around were also missing code
to handle the new Bendy Bone properties.
(WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY VARIATIONS OF COPYING POSE DATA!?!?)
* If duplicating a Bendy Bone with custom references, and the custom references
are also selected/duplicated, the new Bendy Bones will use the corresponding
duplicated bones
This commit adds Peak Memory to the stamp options, the value is the same one that is already shown in the image viewer.

Was not so far, because this effect is not modifying its 'own' PaintPoint, which means
it's not threadsafe. Since a global lock (mutex or spinlock) would not be much efficient
(we need to lock a given point pretty much all the computaion cycle), and since locking
a same PaintPOint from different threads at the same time is *very* unlikely,
solution here is to use an 'array of locks', one for each PaintPoint (same thing as BLI_bitmap,
using atomic ops to set/clear bits).
Here in own test (complex dynapaint over a huge sphere combining all dynapaint types), it gives
20% speedup of the whole dynapaint simulation!
Note: maybe we'd want to move that kind of bitlock into BLI lib some day - not totally sure how,
so let's keep it local for now...
Vertex's normal is always normalized - and its conversion from short to float should not change that!
On the other hand, linear interpolation of three normals **does not give a normalized vector**
(unless all three inputs are exactly the same).
Also, minor optimization, avoid recomputing that interpolated normal twice for each PaintUVPoint.
It was totally useless to multiply diffuse color with the vertex color
when doing texture painting. It was masking actual texture and only was
forcing artists to create an empty vertex color layer to work this around.
The idea of pole merge is to fade interocular distance after a certain
altitude to zero when altitude goes closer to a pole. This should prevent
annoyances looking up in the sky or down to the bottom.
Works for both panorama and perspective cameras when Spherical Stereo
is enabled.

This commit/patch/branch brings a bunch of powerful new options for B-Bones and
for working with B-Bones, making it easier for animators to create their own
rigs, using fewer bones (which also means hopefully lighter + faster rigs ;)
This functionality was first demoed by Daniel at BConf15
Some highlights from this patch include:
* You can now directly control the shape of B-Bones using a series of properties
instead of being restricted to trying to indirectly control them through the
neighbouring bones. See the "Bendy Bones" panel...
* B-Bones can be shaped in EditMode to define a "curved rest pose" for the bone.
This is useful for things like eyebrows and mouths/eyelids
* You can now make B-Bones use custom bones as their reference bone handles,
instead of only using the parent/child bones. To do so, enable the
"Use Custom Reference Handles" toggle. If none are specified, then the BBone will
only use the Bendy Bone properties.
* Constraints Head/Tail option can now slide along the B-Bone shape, instead of
just linearly interpolating between the endpoints of the bone.
