Now the brushes have several new random settings and use curves to define the effect. The curves have been moved below the parameter to keep UI standards and extra curve panels have been removed.
{F8505387}
The new curves are:
* Hue.
* Saturation.
* Value.
New option to random at stroke level instead to random at point level for the following values:
* Thickness.
* Strength.
* UV.
* Hue.
* Saturation.
* Value.
Curves have been moved below the corresponding parameter and only are displayed in properties panel. Display the curves in the popover made it unusable.

Also, the Pressure random has been renamed to Radius because the old name was not clear enough.

If we parent with type `PAR_ARMATURE` (where vertexgroups are already
set up and named correctly according to the corresponding bones), we
still need an armature modifier. This just wasnt added.
In contrast to meshes [which add their armature modifier early in
`ED_object_parent_set`], grease pencil used to do this (adding the
armature modifier) in `ED_gpencil_add_armature_weights`.
Now split ED_gpencil_add_armature_weights in two:
- ED_gpencil_add_armature
- ED_gpencil_add_armature_weights (which calls ED_gpencil_add_armature)
- use ED_gpencil_add_armature for the PAR_ARMATURE case

Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
When using the samples, the interpolated points get abrupt steps because the system cannot receive all events in a short period of time.
This is more noticeable when the samples are set to 10 and the pen is moved very fast. The problem with post-processing smooth is that is applied to all stroke and this removes details.
The smart smooth is automatic and detect only the segments in the stroke where the system was unable to capture all movements and apply a smooth algorithm.
There was a fixed limit to the number of points available in a buffer stroke.
Now, the array is expanded as needed using a predefined number of points for each expansion, instead to add one by one. This is done to reduce the number of times the memory allocation is required.
As part of the fix, some variables have been renamed to reflect better their use.
This commit groups several options that were tested in grease pencil branch:
- Changes to fill algorithms and improves, specially in small areas and stroke corners.
New options has been added in order to define how the fill is working and internally there are optimizations in detect the small areas in the extremes.
Kudos to @charlie for coding this fill improvements.
- New 3D cursor view plane option.
Now it's possible to lock the drawing plane to the 3D cursor and use the 3D cursor orientation. This allows more flexibility when you are drawing and reduce the need to create geometry to draw over surfaces.
- Canvas Grid now can be locked to 3D cursor.
- New option to reproject stroke using 3D cursor.
- Small tweaks and fixes.
Changes reviewed by @pepeland and @mendio
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.
This commit groups a set of new tools that were tested in grease pencil object branch before moving to master. We decide to do all the development in a separated branch because it could break master during days or weeks before the new tools were ready to deploy.
The commit includes:
- New Cutter tool to trim strokes and help cleaning up drawings.
- New set of constraints and guides to draw different types of shapes. All the credits for this development goes to Charlie Jolly (@charlie), thanks for your help!
- Segment selection mode to select strokes between intersections.
- New operator to change strokes cap mode.
- New option to display only keyframed frames. This option is very important when fill strokes with color.
- Multiple small fixes and tweaks.
Thanks to @pepeland and @mendio for their ideas, tests, reviews and support.
Note: Still pending the final icons for Cutter in Toolbar and Segment Selection in Topbar. @billreynish could help us here?
The perspective effect deformed the stroke. Now when you are in camera view and the lock axis is not enabled, the stroke is reprojected flat over the view to remove any deformation.
Also fixed reproject operator to use the origin set in topbar and not cursor 3D always.
This commit adds a new armature modifier for grease pencil. The deformations are done reusing the mesh deform routines.
There is also a new operator in weight paint mode to help the artist to generate weights base on armatures. This operator is required because 2D animation workflow is not equal to meshes when parent an object to armatures.
In the drawing engine has been added the option to handle the Fade object parameter used in armatures to see the strokes while move the bones.
When rename bones, all related data of grease pencil is renamed too. This not only affect new armature code, but also layers parented and hook modifiers.
Thanks @aligorith for his review and help.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
