Currently when importing a USD file, some of the camera properties are
ignored, or the units are not converted correctly from USD world units.
On import we currently set the focal length, but not the camera sensor
size (horizontal and vertical aperture), so the camera field of view
is wrong. The sensor size information is in the USD file, but is ignored
for perspective cameras.
USD uses "tenth of a world unit" scale for some physical camera properties
like focal length and aperture.
https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/release/api/class_usd_geom_camera.html#UsdGeom_CameraUnits
I have added the UsdStage's metersPerUnit parameter to the ImportSettings
so the camera can do the required conversion on import. This will convert from
the USD file's world units to millimeters for Blender's camera settings.

The default Blender USD export currently produces files that trigger
errors in the usdchecker that ships with USD 22.11.
The changes are:
- Set the defaultPrim if no defaultPrim is set. This sets it to the
first prim in the hierarchy which matches the behaviour of Pixar's
referencing (where referencing a USD layer without a defaultPrim will
pick the first prim) as well as matches the logic in Pixar's Maya USD
exporter code.
- Applies the MaterialBindingAPI to prims with material binding
attributes. This is a relatively new requirement for USD as it will
help for efficiency with upcoming changes to Hydra.
- Removes the preview scope in the USD shader hierarchy, because it
is no longer valid for shaders to have any non-container ancestors in
their hierarchy up until the enclosing Material prim.

This addressed feature request T99811.
Added the following features to fully support importing USDZ archives:
- Added .usdz to the list of supported extensions.
- Added new USD import options to copy textures from USDZ archives. The
textures may be imported as packed data (the default) or to a directory
on disk.
- Extended the USD material import logic to handle package-relative texture
assets paths by invoking the USD asset resolver to copy the textures from
the USDZ archive to a directory on disk. When importing in Packed mode,
the textures are first saved to Blender's temporary session directory
prior to packing.
The new USD import options are
- Import Textures: Behavior when importing textures from a USDZ archive
- Textures Directory: Path to the directory where imported textures will
be copied
- File Name Collision: Behavior when the name of an imported texture file
conflicts with an existing file
Import Textures menu options:
- None: Don't import textures
- Packed: Import textures as packed data (the default)
- Copy: Copy files to Textures Directory
File Name Collision menu options:
- Use Existing: If a file with the same name already exists, use that
instead of copying (the default)
- Overwrite: Overwrite existing files

Currently you can retrieve a mutable array from a const CustomData.
That makes code unsafe since the compiler can't check for correctness
itself. Fix that by introducing a separate function to retrieve mutable
arrays from CustomData. The new functions have the `_for_write`
suffix that make the code's intention clearer.
Because it makes retrieving write access an explicit step, this change
also makes proper copy-on-write possible for attributes.
Notes:
- The previous "duplicate referenced layer" functions are redundant
with retrieving layers with write access
- The custom data functions that give a specific index only have
`for_write` to simplify the API

Currently the `MLoopUV` struct stores UV coordinates and flags related
to editing UV maps in the UV editor. This patch changes the coordinates
to use the generic 2D vector type, and moves the flags into three
separate boolean attributes. This follows the design in T95965, with
the ultimate intention of simplifying code and improving performance.
Importantly, the change allows exporters and renderers to use UVs
"touched" by geometry nodes, which only creates generic attributes.
It also allows geometry nodes to create "proper" UV maps from scratch,
though only with the Store Named Attribute node for now.
The new design considers any 2D vector attribute on the corner domain
to be a UV map. In the future, they might be distinguished from regular
2D vectors with attribute metadata, which may be helpful because they
are often interpolated differently.
Most of the code changes deal with passing around UV BMesh custom data
offsets and tracking the boolean "sublayers". The boolean layers are
use the following prefixes for attribute names: vert selection: `.vs.`,
edge selection: `.es.`, pinning: `.pn.`. Currently these are short to
avoid using up the maximum length of attribute names. To accommodate
for these 4 extra characters, the name length limit is enlarged to 68
bytes, while the maximum user settable name length is still 64 bytes.
Unfortunately Python/RNA API access to the UV flag data becomes slower.
Accessing the boolean layers directly is be better for performance in
general.
Like the other mesh SoA refactors, backward and forward compatibility
aren't affected, and won't be changed until 4.0. We pay for that by
making mesh reading and writing more expensive with conversions.
Resolves T85962
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14365
**Changes**
As described in T93602, this patch removes all use of the `MVert`
struct, replacing it with a generic named attribute with the name
`"position"`, consistent with other geometry types.
Variable names have been changed from `verts` to `positions`, to align
with the attribute name and the more generic design (positions are not
vertices, they are just an attribute stored on the point domain).
This change is made possible by previous commits that moved all other
data out of `MVert` to runtime data or other generic attributes. What
remains is mostly a simple type change. Though, the type still shows up
859 times, so the patch is quite large.
One compromise is that now `CD_MASK_BAREMESH` now contains
`CD_PROP_FLOAT3`. With the general move towards generic attributes
over custom data types, we are removing use of these type masks anyway.
**Benefits**
The most obvious benefit is reduced memory usage and the benefits
that brings in memory-bound situations. `float3` is only 3 bytes, in
comparison to `MVert` which was 4. When there are millions of vertices
this starts to matter more.
The other benefits come from using a more generic type. Instead of
writing algorithms specifically for `MVert`, code can just use arrays
of vectors. This will allow eliminating many temporary arrays or
wrappers used to extract positions.
Many possible improvements aren't implemented in this patch, though
I did switch simplify or remove the process of creating temporary
position arrays in a few places.
The design clarity that "positions are just another attribute" brings
allows removing explicit copying of vertices in some procedural
operations-- they are just processed like most other attributes.
**Performance**
This touches so many areas that it's hard to benchmark exhaustively,
but I observed some areas as examples.
* The mesh line node with 4 million count was 1.5x (8ms to 12ms) faster.
* The Spring splash screen went from ~4.3 to ~4.5 fps.
* The subdivision surface modifier/node was slightly faster
RNA access through Python may be slightly slower, since now we need
a name lookup instead of just a custom data type lookup for each index.
**Future Improvements**
* Remove uses of "vert_coords" functions:
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_alloc`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_get`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_apply{_with_mat4}`
* Remove more hidden copying of positions
* General simplification now possible in many areas
* Convert more code to C++ to use `float3` instead of `float[3]`
* Currently `reinterpret_cast` is used for those C-API functions

On linux a man page is generated before the
scripts are installed, this lead to USD getting
a null pointer for it's pluging path and crashing
the process.
Make the `Object *` and `Mesh *` parameter of `USD_mesh_topology_changed()`
`const`. This function only inspects them, and doesn't need to modify
them.
No functional changes.
The executable would get boost python linking in when not needed, and even when
linking to Python libraries there were still unresolved symbols. Instead split
off boost python libraries and link them only where needed.
Shared libraries and USD plugins will be placed in the same folder, where USD
already looks for plugins.
This means that specifying the path to the plugins will no longer be needed
once the new libraries are available for all platforms. For now the code was
refactored to support both cases.
Ref T99618
These were redundant for one of a few reasons:
- A call to `BKE_mesh_tag_coords_changed` was correct instead
- A mesh has dirty normals when created from scratch anyway
- The call was redundant with `BKE_mesh_runtime_clear_geometry`
Updated the code to use the UsdGeomPrimvarsAPI class to read
and write mesh primvars instead of the now deprecated primvars
accessors in UsdGeomImageable. This will be required to build
with USD 22.11 in the future, where the deprecated functions
have been removed.
UsdImagingCapsuleAdapter static functions GetMeshPoints() and
GetTopology() have been removed in USD 22.11. In anticipation
of this upcoming change, I've updated the test code to call
the corresponding virtual functions instead.
Using varargs had the disadvantages, replace with a macro which has
some advantages.
- Arguments are type checked.
- Less verbose.
- Unintended NULL arguments would silently terminate joining paths.
- Passing in a NULL argument warns with GCC.
Part of T101073: after the view layer sync was made lazy (D15885), the
BKE_layer_collection_resync_forbid and BKE_layer_collection_resync_allow
in Alembic/USD/OBJ importers is no longer needed, as long as they do
view layer dependent operations (selecting new objects) in a separate
loop after creating all the objects.
Verified that this does not regress import times for 26k objects OBJ
scene (Blender 3.0 splash) and 250k objects USD scene (Moana).
This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

This is already the case for most CMake usage.
Although some find modules are an exception to this, as they were
originally maintained externally they use some different conventions.
Also corrected bad indentation in: intern/cycles/CMakeLists.txt
When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.
