Includes the following fixes
- Fix smoke texture creation: data was interpreted as Byte instead of Floats.
- Fix Velocity texture not being free after draw: also was causing crashes.
- Fix display_thickness not being copied during COW.
- Fix Blending and general volume rendering algorithm.
- Add Volume Shadowing support.
Avoid accessing object mode via the view layer active object
when drawing since it's done everywhere we store the active object mode
in the draw-context.
This commit make the Xray option for the wireframe different from the other
shading mode. This makes it possible to rapidly switch between wireframe +
Xray and Solid mode without Xray.
Xray alpha is also decoupled.
Both variables are duplicated and exposed separately through RNA.
We now treat Xray as being the mode where Limit selection to visible is off.
If Xray is OFF, Limit selection to visible is considered ON.
To allow 'see through wires' with solid shading (not Xray shading) we still
draw solid shading if Xray is ON with Xray Alpha set to 1.0.
For this we need to add a bias depending on the viewing angle.
But increasing the hardness of the test make float precision issues in
the mesh transformation more prominent (actual geometry is far below the
surface). So to solve this issue we use a more subdivided grid mesh
8x8 quads instead of 1 triangle.
The core logic of this implementation comes from the drawobject.c from 2.7x.
I'm using `ts.colorGridAxisZ` for its color because of the legacy code:
```
UI_GetThemeColor3ubv(TH_GRID, col1);
UI_make_axis_color(col1, col2, 'Z');
glColor3ubv(col2);
```
There is nothing stopping us from adding this to the theme though, as it should
have been the case to start with.
The only difference from 2.7x is that we were using glLineWidth(2.0) before,
which is not supported reliably in the latest OpenGL.
Big thanks to Clément Foucault for helping with this, on the design as well as
debugging the implementation.
For the records, I'm creating and destroying batches for the path geometry at
every draw. The pipeline is as follows:
1. Create GPUBatch with all the points
2. Create new shgroup with simple shader
3. Add call with the gpubatch
4. Save it in a linked list in stl->g_data
5. Free it after all drawing is done
* Draw bundle names.
* Draw bundle shapes (but spheres).
* Draw custom colors for bundles.
* Support selecting bundles.
* Object bundles also fully tested.
Missing from this commit:
* Camera path.
* Spheres are not drawn as solid.
* Blue dashed line from camera to tracker objects.
The extension GL_ARB_texture_gather is reported to be supported and does
not trigger an error when enabled but the textureGater functions are not
defined.
Workaround is to disable the use of this extension on such systems.
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.
This does not fix the smokesim. It only port the drawing method.
The Object mode engine is in charge of rendering the velocity debugging.
Things left to do:
- Flame rendering.
- Color Ramp coloring of volume data.
- View facing slicing (for now it's only doing sampling starting from the
volume bounds which gives a squarish look)
- Add option to enable dithering (currently on by default.
