While it might be handy to have type-less functionality which is
similar to how C++ math is implemented it can not be easily achieved
with just preprocessor in a way which does not have side-effects on
wrong usage.
There macros where often used on a non-trivial expression, and there
was at least one usage where it was causing an actual side effect/bug
on Windows (see change around square_f(sh[index++]) in studiolight.c).
For such cases it is handy to have a function which is guaranteed to
have zero side-effects. The motivation behind actually removing the
macros is that there is already a way to do similar calculation. Also,
not having such macros is a way to guarantee that its usage is not
changed in a way which have side-effects and that it's not used as an
inspiration for cases where it should not be used.

Code was originally added to test a different approach to calculate the
irradiance buffer. The approach was just to slow so we never used it.
This change will remove it from the code base
Studiolights that were just created didn't had the
`STUDIOLIGHT_SPECULAR_HIGHLIGHT_PASS` flag. Without this flag the
studiolight the viewport didn't show the specular highlights and it
wasn't possible to switch the highlights on/off in the popover. After
reloading the studio lights this was possible.
This patch will always set the flag for any newly created, or being
edited studiolight, so the workbench render engine is fed with the right
data.
With Blender 2.80 we introduced a more flexible matcap system. One
change we did was to multiply the matcap with the base color that was
shaded. As matcaps contains diffuse and specular lighting in a single
texture this lead to rendering artifacts. Artists were complaining that
everything looked to metalic.
We now support a separate `diffuse` and `specular` pass for matcaps.
`shaded_color = diffuse_light * base_color + specular_light`
For matcaps to support this feature they need to be multilayer openexr
files with 2 renderpasses (named `diffuse` and `specular`). In the future
we can change this to first pass/second pass in stead of this naming
convention.

It's closer to the default matcap now, but slightly less metallic and dark. The
reason to use studio lights as default is because the roughness and metallic
parameters of the material then have an effect, and because Texture color mode
does not work for matcaps.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
- Remove pathlib use
(was converting to/from string with no real advantage).
- Use user_resource(..., create=True) to ensure the path exists.
- Pass full path to BKE_studiolight_create, don't add extension after.
- Fix 'sl' filtering glob and move from ui code to operator.
- Fix string copy length.
There was a bug due to non-aligned struct in the DNA that prevented us
to increase the size of the userdef light array.
Since the studio lights are now presets and stored in external files,
there is no need to keep backward compatibility with theses lights.
Remove the old array and create a new one.
Add blue tint light for specular.
This changes a bit how the userprefs solid lights works. They are not
visible until enabling the "Edit Solid Light" checkbox. Once enabled the
current studiolight used for solid mode will be overwritten.
Once the lighting settings are tweaked, the user can click the
"Save as Studio light" button to save the current settings.
This makes it easy to create new lighting without messing the other
presets.
The studio lights are stored as ASCII files on the disk using a dead
simple custom format.
The UI/UX is not perfect and will be improved in other commits.
Also includes:
* Separate LookDev HDRI selection from Solid Lights
* Hide LookDev HDRIs from the Solid Lights selection list
* Less Lengthy enum/macro names.
* Optimize computation of Spherical Harmonics.
* Reduce radiance cubemap size a bit. Higher resolution is not necessary.
* Remove STUDIOLIGHT_LIGHT_DIRECTION_CALCULATED (was not used).
* Do windowing on each component separately instead of using luminance.
* Use ITER_PIXELS to iterate on each pixels, using pixel center coords.
* Remove gpu_matcap_3components as it is only needed when creating the gputex.
* Fix a lot of confusion in axis denomination/swizzle.
These changes should not affect functionallity.
This option is causing the texture to become full of nan(ind)s.
I don't know how it worked before.
Until this is resolved, this feature (which improves the quality of LOOKDEV's irradiance texture) will be disabled.
- Texture creation now requires explicit data type.
- GPU_texture_add_mipmap enable explicit mipmap upload.
- GPU_texture_get_mipmap_size can be used to get the size of a mipmap level
of an existing GPUTexture
- GPU_texture_read let you read back data from a gpu texture.
Added a compile directive in order to test SH4 in stead of SH2Win.
For now I disabled SH4, it is a bit more clear, but has a small
performance impact. Will check later for a better approach
In stead of a single refresh function that re-init the whole system. The
API now supports adding and removing. Which will be much faster and less
flickering of missing icons when adding/removing lights
