Derived mesh for particles did not include tessellated faces when it
was expected to. Now added explicit function to copy CDDM with tess
faces without need to re-tessellate the result.
Tricky issue caused by CDDM_copy() coying MFACE array but not MTFACE which
confused logic later on.
Now we don't copy ANY tessellation unless it is requested to.
Thanks Bastien for help and review!
All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/

Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
custom builds and compile fixes.

The purpose of the patch is to replace deprecated glShadeModel.
To decrease glShadeModel calls I've set GL_SMOOTH by default

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!
A bit tricky, need to pass additional information about what the attribute
is and how to deal with it.
BI path stays unchanged, just to make things simplier for now.
Fixes T48555: Cycles GLSL- Incorrect Vertex Color results from Attribute node
It was totally useless to multiply diffuse color with the vertex color
when doing texture painting. It was masking actual texture and only was
forcing artists to create an empty vertex color layer to work this around.
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.
That was the main issue (in both T46455 and T46690), solved by 'flattening' those chains (v1 -> v2 ->v3 etc.)
before calling `CDDM_merge_verts()`.
Also added note to `CDDM_merge_verts()` that it does not support chained mapping, along with
a basic assert that should catch most of those cases in future.
The logic of 'following mapping' was also rather broken, making a special case here when using
object-controlled offset is very weak. Further more, blindly following mapping in this case
was far from ideal, this could end to merging vertices rather far from each other.
To address this issue, we now always follow mapping, but only as long as 'final' vertex remains
close enough from mapped one.
Finally, the search of 'closest' vertex to merge with was also quite bad, would just pick the first
one matching distance limit, instead of using the actual closest one - could lead to rather ugly
geometry deformations in case one would use not-so-small merge threashold!
- Only do this if PBVH is not used for display, this should correspond
to whats' happening in sculpt.c now.
- No need to do such synchronization for solid drawing, it supports
optimal display from PBVH.
In fact, such synchronization is only needed in the following case:
Drawing callback does not support PBVH draw and sculpt session is
configured to use PBVH for display and related operations.
Regression in 4d33c37c9
Only copy normal arrays from sculpt to the DerivedMesh when the mesh is deformed.
Constructive modifiers calculate their own normals.
Also rearranged code here to not issue a draw call (explicit flush) per
face and not set shader per face either when stippled drawing is mixed
with regular drawing. Not good at all for performance.
The is intended to replace the deprecated glPolygonStipple() calls with a shader
based alternative, once we switch over to GLSL shaders.

GPUBuffer rendering is now done using vertex buffers.
Vertex arrays are completely removed from GL 3.2 core profile, so we'll
have to do this change at some point anyway.
This commit, though big, is not modifying blender in any way. Use should
be exactly as if the vetex buffer option is constantly on.
This fixes two issues:
* Normals were not being recalculated correctly when not using optimized
drawing for CDDerivedMesh (Multires actually handles that correctly).
* Loop normals (autosmooth option) were also not being calculated. Doing
this calculation is not desirable, since it can't be done correctly
without a severe performance hit. This is easy to test by doing a
dependency flush on the mesh after each scuplt stroke step. Instead they
are now disabled during sculpting.
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).

The generic tangent calculation relied on CDDM arrays which aren't available in edit-mode.
Add a tangent calculation callback, which has its own implementation for editmesh data.
Two issues here, normal update was not happening due to own sillyness in
viewport refactor, also normal update code still used triangles.
Now reused Campbell's poly normal recalculation code.
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 commit begins implementation of the idea about hidden face
separation outlined in
http://code.blender.org/2015/06/optimizing-blenders-real-time-mesh-
We split hidden and visible faces to different parts of the triangle
buffer.
Mapped drawing will now skip iterating through hidden polys.
Of course the final target, when all derived mesh types use
VBO sorting, is to skip checking for hide flag per face
completely. All faces will be pre-sorted anyway and we'll
be able to draw them with one draw call.
