This changes the roughness mapping to better utilize the mip chain resolution.
This improves glossy reflections with small roughness.
Lightcache version bumped because old data does not have the same roughness
mapping and cannot be used.
This is a complete refactor over the old system. The goal was to increase quality
first and then have something more flexible and optimised.
|{F9603145} | {F9603142}|{F9603147}|
This fixes issues we had with the old system which were:
- Too much overdraw (low performance).
- Not enough precision in render targets (hugly color banding/drifting).
- Poor resolution near in-focus regions.
- Wrong support of orthographic views.
- Missing alpha support in viewport.
- Missing bokeh shape inversion on foreground field.
- Issues on some GPUs. (see T72489) (But I'm sure this one will have other issues as well heh...)
- Fix T81092
I chose Unreal's Diaphragm DOF as a reference / goal implementation.
It is well described in the presentation "A Life of a Bokeh" by Guillaume Abadie.
You can check about it here https://epicgames.ent.box.com/s/s86j70iamxvsuu6j35pilypficznec04
Along side the main implementation we provide a way to increase the quality by jittering the
camera position for each sample (the ones specified under the Sampling tab).
The jittering is dividing the actual post processing dof radius so that it fills the undersampling.
The user can still add more overblur to have a noiseless image, but reducing bokeh shape sharpness.
Effect of overblur (left without, right with):
| {F9603122} | {F9603123}|
The actual implementation differs a bit:
- Foreground gather implementation uses the same "ring binning" accumulator as background
but uses a custom occlusion method. This gives the problem of inflating the foreground elements
when they are over background or in-focus regions.
This is was a hard decision but this was preferable to the other method that was giving poor
opacity masks for foreground and had other more noticeable issues. Do note it is possible
to improve this part in the future if a better alternative is found.
- Use occlusion texture for foreground. Presentation says it wasn't really needed for them.
- The TAA stabilisation pass is replace by a simple neighborhood clamping at the reduce copy
stage for simplicity.
- We don't do a brute-force in-focus separate gather pass. Instead we just do the brute force
pass during resolve. Using the separate pass could be a future optimization if needed but
might give less precise results.
- We don't use compute shaders at all so shader branching might not be optimal. But performance
is still way better than our previous implementation.
- We mainly rely on density change to fix all undersampling issues even for foreground (which
is something the reference implementation is not doing strangely).
Remaining issues (not considered blocking for me):
- Slight defocus stability: Due to slight defocus bruteforce gather using the bare scene color,
highlights are dilated and make convergence quite slow or imposible when using jittered DOF
(or gives )
- ~~Slight defocus inflating: There seems to be a 1px inflation discontinuity of the slight focus
convolution compared to the half resolution. This is not really noticeable if using jittered
camera.~~ Fixed
- Foreground occlusion approximation is a bit glitchy and gives incorrect result if the
a defocus foreground element overlaps a farther foreground element. Note that this is easily
mitigated using the jittered camera position.
|{F9603114}|{F9603115}|{F9603116}|
- Foreground is inflating, not revealing background. However this avoids some other bugs too
as discussed previously. Also mitigated with jittered camera position.
|{F9603130}|{F9603129}|
- Sensor vertical fit is still broken (does not match cycles).
- Scattred bokeh shapes can be a bit strange at polygon vertices. This is due to the distance field
stored in the Bokeh LUT which is not rounded at the edges. This is barely noticeable if the
shape does not rotate.
- ~~Sampling pattern of the jittered camera position is suboptimal. Could try something like hammersley
or poisson disc distribution.~~Used hexaweb sampling pattern which is not random but has better
stability and overall coverage.
- Very large bokeh (> 300 px) can exhibit undersampling artifact in gather pass and quite a bit of
bleeding. But at this size it is preferable to use jittered camera position.
Codewise the changes are pretty much self contained and each pass are well documented.
However the whole pipeline is quite complex to understand from bird's-eye view.
Notes:
- There is the possibility of using arbitrary bokeh texture with this implementation.
However implementation is a bit involved.
- Gathering max sample count is hardcoded to avoid to deal with shader variations. The actual
max sample count is already quite high but samples are not evenly distributed due to the
ring binning method.
- While this implementation does not need 32bit/channel textures to render correctly it does use
many other textures so actual VRAM usage is higher than previous method for viewport but less
for render. Textures are reused to avoid many allocations.
- Bokeh LUT computation is fast and done for each redraw because it can be animated. Also the
texture can be shared with other viewport with different camera settings.
This commit adds a drop-down to the attribute randomize node to support
a few operations on the values of existing attributes: "Replace/Create"
(the existing behavior), "Add", "Subtract", and "Multiply".
At this point, the operations are limited by what is simple to implement.
More could be added in the future, but there isn't a strong use case
for more complex operations anyway, and a second math node can be used.

This commit makes links connected to multi-input sockets spread verticaly
along the socket. Sockets grow if more links are connected and the node
layout updates accordingly. Links are sorted by their incoming angle
to avoid crossing links. Also, link picking is updated to work with
spread links and bezier links.
Currently the multi-input sockets are used in the join geometry node.
The mutli-input sockets look like a vertical rounded rectangle.
Currently they do not support the other custom socket shapes.

This potentially could fix some missed cases in dependency tagging (when
dealing with overrides hierarchies), since relying on tag in ID itself
is not a good idea to check whether an ID has been propcessed or not
(exterior code may have forced that tag on some IDs e.g., which would
prevent them from ever being processed properly).
After {rBa0867f05a48e2017a}, it is no longer necessary to pad
structs with 1 and 2 byte sizes. Most of these are geometry node

This commit is a refactor of the fill tool to solve several problems we had since the first version of the tool.
Changes:
* The filling speed has been improved for each step of the process with the optimization of each algorithm/function.
* New `AutoFit` option to fill areas outside of the viewport. When enable, the total size of the frame is calculated to fit the filling area.
* New support multiframe filling. Now it is possible to fill multiple similar frames in one go.
* New `Stroke Extension` option to create temporary closing strokes. These strokes can be displayed and adjusted dynamically using wheel mouse or PageUp/Down keys.
* Parameter `Resolution` now is named `Precision` and has been moved to topbar.
* `Resolution` now has decimals and can be lower than 1 to allow quick filling in storyboarding workflows. Maximum value has been set as 5.
* Parameter `Simplify` has been moved to Advanced panel.
* Improved fill outline detection. In some cases, the outline penetrated the area to be filled with unexpected results.
* Fixes some corner case bugs with infinite loops.
As a result of this refactor, also these new functionalities has been added.
* New support for multiframe in `Draw` mode. Any drawing in active frame is duplicated to all selected frame.
* New multiframe display mode. Keyframes before or after of the active frame are displayed using onion colors. This can be disable using Onion overlay options.
This patch will show textures in the image editor with the maximum
available resolution determined by the GPU Hardware/Driver.
Currently the size is limited by the user preference texture size limit.
An image user can set the `IMA_SHOW_MAX_RESOLUTION` flag to request
gpu textures in the max supported resolution. When this flag isn't
set the gpu texture is limited by the user preference setting.
When the gl resolution limit is disabled the GPU texture is always
created for the max supported resolution.

This avoids adding DNA_ID.h into other headers, recently changed in

Note that other enums could be moved too, this is a smaller change
to avoid indirectly including DNA_ID.h in many places.
These weren't used since ages. Comment out the DNA define (value shouldn't be
reused to avoid compatibility breakage) and remove icon code for the types.
We generally prefer using enums over precompiler defines. This adds an actual

Building IDs which are not covered by copy-on-write process was not
implemented, which was causing parameters block not present, and, hence
causing crashes in areas which expected parameters to present.
First part of this change is related on making it so Copy-on-Write is
optional for ID nodes in the dependency graph.
Second part is related on using a generic builder for all ID types
which were not covered by Copy-on-Write before.
The final part is related on making it so build_id() is properly
handling ParticleSettings and Grease Pencil Data. Before they were not
covered there at all, and they need special handling because they do
have own build functions.
Not sure it worth trying to split those parts, as they are related to
each other and are not really possible to be tested standalone. Open
for a second opinion though.
Possible nut-tightening is to re-organize build_id() function so
that every branch does return and have an assert at the end, so that
missing ID type in the switch statement is easier to spot even when
using compilers which do not report missing switch cases.
As for question "why not use default" the answer is: to make it more
explicit and clear what is a decision when adding new ID types. We do
not want to quietly fall-back to a non-copy-on-write case for a newly
added ID types.

The fix for the crash exposed design violation in the viewport shading updates,

First step towards a better handling of relationships between IDs in
override context, especially when a resync is needed.
First, introduce a new flag to override operations,
`IDOVERRIDE_LIBRARY_FLAG_IDPOINTER_MATCH_REFERENCE`, for ID pointers.
It keeps track of whether an RNA ID pointer has been kept to its
'natural overriden ID' (in override hierarchy context), or has actually
been re-assigned to some other data-block.
Second, refactor how we deal with relationships between IDs in override
hierarchy code, especially in resync case. This will fixe several cases
listed in T83811, especially the case where an ID pointer to an existing
override needs to be updated to a new one due to a matching change in
linked data.
The `image_get_gpu_texture` didn't use the iuser->view_index but
recalculated the requested view again. This lead to inconsistent
behavior when switching between multi view textures or stereo textures.
This has been fixed by ensuring that the `iuser->view_index` is always
used.
An Image has only place to store 2 view textures. This is done for
right/left eye compositing. A multi view texture can have more views.
This would lead to reading and writing to unallocated space.
When a multiview texture is requested that is larger than 1. It will
always be cached as being the first eye. The `gpu_view` of the Image is
also used as a cache key to check this.
