This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
Now they are properly converted to Linear space before interpolation.
Since the only way to get vertex color in eevee and cycles is via the
attribute node with the CD_AUTO_FROM_NAME flag, we have to know at binding
time which type of buffer will be connected to this auto input.
We store this information inside the batch cache (together with the according
uniform name) and pass it as uniform to the shader which does conversion if
needed. The same shader can then be reused to draw another mesh with
different auto layers configuration.
Because:
- Less redundancy.
- Better suffixes.
Also a few modification to GPU_texture_create_* to simplify the API:
- make the format explicit to the texture creation process.
- remove the component count as it's specified in the GPUTextureFormat.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
This is mostly to avoid re-compilation when using undo/redo operators.
This also has the benefit to reuse the same GPUShader for multiple materials using the same nodetree configuration.
The cache stores GPUPasses that already contains the shader code and a hash to test for matches.
We use refcounts to know when a GPUPass is not used anymore.
I had to move the GPUInput list from GPUPass to GPUMaterial because it's containing references to the material nodetree and cannot be reused.
A garbage collection is hardcoded to run every 60 seconds to free every unused GPUPass.
ntree_shader_relink_displacement is creating a transient node that does not have a correct original to point to.
In this case we revert to constant uniform.
It should behave like cycles.
Even if not efficient at all, we still do the same create - draw - free process that was done in the old viewport to save vram (maybe not really the case now) and not care about simulation's GPU texture state sync.
For users that means you can tweak shaders in the nodetree and things
are way faster. This is a huge improvement, particularly in
systems that have no shader cache.
From the code perspective it means we are no longer re-compiling the
shader every time a value is tweaked in the UI. We are using uniforms
for those values.
It would be slow to add that many uniforms for all the shaders. So
instead we are using UBO (Uniform Buffer Objects).
This fixes the main issue of T51467. However GWN_shaderinterface_create() still
needs to be improvedi. When opening a .blend all shaders are compiled once, so
optimizing it will bring a measurable impact.
========================================================================
NOTE: This breaks update of Cycles material upon nodetree nodes
tweaking. It will be fixed separately by depsgraph, once tackling T51925
(Animated Eevee values slowdown).
The idea is to make Depsgraph update more granular. The XXX TODO in
rna_nodetree.c will be tackled at that time as well.

This allow specialized shaders to redefine the closure interface to fit their needs.
For instance, Volumetric closure needs to pass more than one vec4 (absorption vec3, scattering vec3, anisotropy float).
- code_generate_fragment : Making sure that shaders uses the new uniforms.
- code_generate_vertex_new : create require attribute based on their names and not their id (see draw_cache_impl_mesh.c).
- add support for ramp textures.
- Unify GPUMaterial creation (world/mesh).
- Support for multiple shader variations (not used for now).
- Convert GPUInputs to DRWUniforms to be used with the draw manager.
- Nodetree Update is not supported. The only way to refresh the shaders is to change render engine.
- Cleanup in GPUPass.
- Add new temporary Node Compatibility type. Compatibility types should be removed in the future.
Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

See gpu_shader.c for the main changes.
EXT_geometry_shader4 brought this feature to GL versions < 3.2, but now it's just cluttering up our code.
Soon all platforms will be on version 3.3 so we won't even have to check support at runtime!
- use in/out instead of attribute/varying
- use named output instead of gl_FragColor
- use texture() instead of the multitude of older texture sampling functions
The #if __VERSION__ == 120 paths (needed on Mac) will be removed after we switch to 3.3 core profile.
Part of T49165 (general OpenGL upgrade)
Builtin names staring with gl_ will not be available in core profile. Same with the ftransform function. New matrix API provides the same names minus the gl_ prefix.
Part of T49450
-Remove NPOT check as it should be supported by default with OGL 3.3
-All custom texture creation follow the same path now
-Now explicit texture format is required when creating a custom texture (Non RGBA8)
-Support for arrays of textures

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
A bit work in progress, currently the following limitations:
- Texture shading only, Material shading will come later
- No UVs subdivision yet
- Always uses active UV and currently changing active UV will
not properly update the viewport.
Well, need to start somewhere :)
