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.
Note that due to RNA get/setters issue, that one may actually add some
G.main usages to the total... But at least it's not hidden anymore in a
very low-level, dark corner of BKE pointcache code!
Notes:
* Really need to address RNA setters case, end up adding way too much
G.main here these days... :/
* Added Main pointer into bAnimContext, helps a lot in anim code ;)
Switching the mode was being done per object,
where it should first check all pose bones from all objects.
This also removes code that changes the transform mode
from within the counting function.
This was only needed on transform initialization.
This commit fixes a problem the Spring team were having in the shot files 01_030/050 with
the camera rig, where when you tried grabbing/translating the bones of the camera rig,
they would only keep rotating/scaling instead.
The reason for this is that with the multi-object editing support added into the transform
system, this code would now get run for all the other objects that were being included
in Pose Mode, even if no bones from those armatures were selected. Since no valid translatable
bones were found in those other armatures, the transform mode would get reset upon
encountering one of those other bones.
Just as with my earlier fix for bones (0492e56fec),
here we're reading evaluated object values into the "i" versions of each transform
property, and using the original/non-evaluated data for the pointers.
XXX:
What's not clear though is what we should be doing with the "BKE_object_where_is_calc()"
calls here. They currently use ob, but that probably shouldn't happen... and ob_eval
should in theory have a more up-to-date version of what it would need to evaluate!
The transform code needed to use data from the "_eval" copy of the posebone
instead of the main-db version, otherwise the initial/reset value would be
wrong, causing the jumping.
When using copy on write, insert keyframe operators were reading from old
bmain data instead of COW data. This meant that inserting keyframes would
often read old/stale data, resulting in invalid keyframes getting created
(e.g. from last transform operation, instead of actual current state).
This commit makes it so that keyframing operators will ask depsgraph for
the evaluated copy of the data, so that it can read values from that. It
introduces a new function - `DEG_get_evaluated_rna_pointer()`, which when
working correctly/fully, should work just like the other `DEG_get_evaluated_*()`
functions, except it lets you pass in an RNA Pointer.
However, currently, this is only done for Pose Bones (as a dirty hack, since this
is an important/pivotal requirement for production) and/or datablock
properties directly (since we can just use the DEG_get_evaluated_id() directly).
on the datablock.
Committing to a branch for now as this all needs more testing. More work to come
later at a more sane time of day!
There are a few places where DerivedMesh is still used, most notably
when calling the (not yet ported) cloth simulation. There is also still
the use of Object.derivedDeform and Object.derivedFinal. Those places are
marked with a TODO.
Some functions in the editors module were copied to accept Mesh. Those
already had 'mesh' in the name; the copies are suffixed with '__real_mesh'
for easy renaming later when the DM-based functionality is removed.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3152
This adds initial multi-object editing support.
- Selected objects are used when entering edit & pose modes.
- Selection & tools work on all objects however many tools need porting
See: T54641 for remaining tasks.
Indentation will be done separately.
See patch: D3101
- Wasn't clear which functions handle edit-bones.
- Mixed both ebone and edit_bone in names.
- Didn't use ED_armature_* prefix for public API.
See P655 to apply to branches.
- Undo that changes modes currently asserts,
since undo is now screen data.
Most likely we will change how object mode and workspaces work
since it's not practical/maintainable at the moment.
- Removed view_layer from particle settings
(wasn't needed and complicated undo).
Regression caused by earlier commits to improve the automerge behaviour.
In this case, the problems only occurred when moving a selected keyframe
forwards in time to overlap an unselected keyframe.
