- Derived-mesh drawing.
- All non UV members of TexFace structs.
MTexPoly is now redundant but keeping with a dummy member,
will check on complete removal later.
Previous method was based on face-area, giving un-even results
based on topology and gave issues with zero area faces.
This method gives matching results for concave ngons and the same geometry triangulated.
Was using some threaded queue on top of task pool, tssk...
Now using properly task pool directly to crunch chunks of smooth fans.
No noticable changes in speed.
Tried to completely get rid of the 'no threading with few loops' code,
but even just creating/freeing the task pool, without actually pushing
any task, is enough to make code 50% slower in worst case scenario (i.e.
few thousands of simple cube objects).
The root of the issue was in custom normal code, so far it assumed that
we could only have one cyclic smooth fan around each vertex, which is...
blatantly wrong (again, the two cones sharing same vertex tip e.g.).
This required a rather deep change in how smooth fans/clnor spaces are processed,
took me some time to find a 'good' solution.
Note that new code is slightly slower than previous one (maybe about 5%),
not much to be done here, am afraid.
Tested against all older report files I could find, seems OK.
Finding which loop should share its vertex with which others is not easy
with regular Mesh data (mostly due to lack of advanced topology info, as
opposed with BMesh case).
Custom loop normals computing already does that - and can return 'loop
normal spaces', which among other things contain definitions of 'smooth
fans' of loops around vertices.
Using those makes it easy to find vertices (and then edges) that needs
splitting.
This commit also adds support of non-autosmooth meshes, where we want to
split out flat faces from smooth ones.
Other than implementing a `mid_v3_v3_array` function, this removes
`cent_tri_v3` and `cent_quad_v3` in favor of `mid_v3_v3v3v3` and
`mid_v3_v3v3v3v3` respectively.

It was possible to have synchronization issues whe naccumulating smooth
normal to a vertex, causing shading artifacts during playback.
Bug found by Dalai, thanks!
(Re)-setting custom normals could cause some unwanted splitting of some of them, leading
to slightly different tangent space. Simply enlarged slightly the threshold detecting
similar normals as identical ones for now, afarid this is the kind of issue that cannot
get a full complete solution for until we drop floats...
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!
Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.
Those new functions invert the winding of polygons, effectively inverting their normals.
A helper was also added to allow swapping two items in customdata layers.
Being able to invert normals outside of BMesh area is very important in several places,
like IO scripts or customnormals modifiers...

Only concerns poly normals computing, have usual 10% speedup of affected code for OMP -> BLI_task switching.
Also parallelized the 'weighted accum' part (used when computing both polys and vertices normals,
when using modifiers e.g.), which gives nice 325% speedup (from 66ms to 20ms for a 500k poly monkey
with simple deform modifier e.g.). ;)
Title says pretty much everything, we now have BKE and RNA funcs to get vertex, poly and
loop normals of a given shapekey.
This will be used e.g. in FBX exporter (shapekeys need normal data too).

This was simply broken for vertex case (indexing loop normals with vert indices...).
Turns out to be rather verbose to replace on-the-fly zero normals by default ones correctly,
and do not want to make a full copy of the given custom normals array, so now this one is
editied in place (replacing zero vectors by correct default normals). Don't think this
could be a serious issue anyway.
The detection of needed sharp edges (based on given loop normals) would not fully work
on first run in case we started with a complete smooth cyclic loop fan (edge between
first and last loop of the fan would not get checked).
Notes:
* Code in rendering and in game engine will still convert
tangents to a tessface representation. Added code that
takes care of tangent layer only, might be removed
when BGE and rendering goes full mlooptri mode.
* Baking should work discovered some dead code while
I was working on the patch, also tangents are broken
when baking from multires (also in master), but those
are separate issues that can be fixed later.
This should fix T45491 as well
This stores loop indices into the loop array giving easier acess
to data such as vertex-colors and UV's,
removing the need to store an MFace duplicate of custom-data.
This doesn't yet move all internal code from MFace to LoopTri just yet.
Only applies to:
- opengl drawing
- sculpting (pbvh)
- vertex/weight paint
Thanks to @psy-fi for review, fixes and improvements to drawing!
Simply check and early return in case we have no source or destination items
(verts/edges/loops/polys) available...
Also, fix an assert in `BKE_mesh_calc_normals_poly()`, when called with no poly.
