Shadow focus let the user choose how hard are is the shadows transition.
Harder shadow transition can be used for stylistic effects or more uniform
shading.
Make shadow orientation respect the same orientation as the studio light
(view from +Y direction aka. front view). Make the default shadow direction
more similar to the default light position (the default light object, not
the default studio lighting).
This option is per viewport.
Having view space shading make sense when working on isolated objects like
if you were holding them in your hands. But for entire scene work, it is
better to have the lighting fixed to have a better spatial representation.
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
The old onion skinning used in 2.7x has been ported and converted to 2.8. Only basic features have been included. For more advanced onion skin features, use grease pencil objects.
Onion Skin is supported in View 3D and Sequencer.
This is in order to have more flexible ligthing presets in the future.
The diffuse lighting from hdris was nice but lacked the corresponding
specular information. This is an attempt to make it possible to customize
the lighting and have a cheap/easy/nice-looking pseudo-PBR workflow.
* Add cheap PBR to Workbench with fresnel and better roughness support.
This improves the look of the metallic surfaces and is easier to control.
* Add ambient light to studio lights settings: just a constant color added
to the shading.
* Add Smooth option to studio lights settings: This option fakes the
effect of making the light bigger making the lighting smoother for this
light. Smoother lights gets reflected like a background hdri.
* Change default light settings to include the smooth params.
* Remove specular highlights from flat shading. (could be added back but
how do we make it good looking?)
* If specular lighting is disabled, use base color without using metallic.
* Include a lot of code simplification/cleanup/confusion fix.
See T57857 for discussion. This reverts:
"Outliner: Do not gray out empty collections"

"Remove eye column from the outliner"
fd16b35997.
Fix/workaround issues in pose and edit mode"
6d2e2e30d5.
"Per view-layer collection visibility"
4de6a210c6.
We still control this in the viewport collections visibility menu. But
now we are actually changing the visibility of the collections, not of
the objects.
If a collection is indirectly invisible (because one of its parents are
invisible) we gray it out.
Also if you click directly in the collection names, it "isolates" the
collection by hiding all collections, and showing the direct parents and
all the children of the selected collection.
Development Note:
Right now I'm excluding the hidden collections from the depsgraph.
Thus the need for tagging relations to update.
If this proves to be too slow, we can change.
The approach is fairly simple, just apply an edge detection filter to the view normal and scale the brightness based on that.
The overlay is disabled at object boundaries to avoid dark lines around objects.
Generally, this implementation follows the proposal of @monio at https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/J9bbbc.
The changes are:
- Dynamic filter radius (on high-DPI displays, a radius of two is used)
- Options to reduce the strength of both ridges and valleys
- Tweaked function for the strength reduction (the original method actually had a local maximum, resulting in a brighter line inside valleys)
- Multiplication for blending instead of overlay, which doesn't work reliably with scene-referred intensities
- Renamed to point out the distinction between it and the SSAO-based cavity overlay

Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
- Z shows pie menu (removed wire/xray toggles).
- Alt-Z toggles x-ray.
- Shift-Z toggles wireframe.
- Shift-Alt-Z toggles overlays.
Note that toggle overlays had no binding for 2.7x,
this is likely not a heavily used option and could even be left out.
* Move type-specific options first.
Allows to get quicker access to settings like Shading Smooth/Flat
by pressing W -> S/F, or camera or light settings.
* Lights: Rename Strength to Energy
* Lights: Show Energy when using EEVEE
Right now we have a different behaviour whether users click on the name or on
the visibility eye.
When clicking on the eye, it is a toggle. When clicking in the name, you
are isolating this collection (unless you use shift).
As for the UI I tried using separator_spacer, but it was more work than
worth. A lot of sub panels, and LEFT/RIGHT alignment work just fine.
This brings the functionality currently in the H shortcut, to hide/show
individual collections.
In order to convey hierarchy, and to make justice to the originally
intended 1-10 shortcuts, we group the collections per siblings.
