The billboard particles were only used by Blender Internal. So until it is
supported by Cycles of Eevee there is no reason to keep it in the code and
UI.
Fix T61695 Billboard particles not displaying in Eevee viewport, render
Confusing to call a menu a panel when subclasses need to define
panel specific variables.
Avoid having bl_ui depend on bl_operator module too.
Since this isn't an operator, add utils modules for shared types.
In keeping with convention to match code & UI naming.
- No user visible changes.
- Include 'menu' in the name since context is an overloaded term.
- While a few of these are panels, from a user perspective they are
still context menus.
Some properties were accidentally hidden for particle fluids.
- Made sure we show the Forces and Integration
sub-panels for particle fluids.
- Slightly re-ordered the sub-panels here, so that the same sub-panels
are at the top for Newtonian and Fluid particles.
- Separated the Fluid Interaction sub-panel so we can give it a unique
name.
- Removed lingering unnecessary 'Keys' label in the Keyed physics.
Render-type panels are only shown when the relevant type is active anyway.
Saves a click especially when using object or collection as render, since
you _have_ to set an object or collection to use it.
* Icons in specials menu (Copy and the new Duplicate icon)
* Remove redundant "Settings" label next to ID template widget.
* Remove "Type" label and expand dropdown, since it only has 2 options (emitter/hair), saves 1 click.
* Move "Seed" to and "Hair Segments" to Emission panel
* Rename "Duplicate Particle Systems" to "Duplicate Particle System", since it
only duplicates one (the active one) at a time.
Misleading name since it's between 0..1.
Use as a keyword argument to prepare for keyword only args.
Also document that leaving unset has special behavior.
This is intended for quick renders for previsualization, animation previews
or sequencer previews. It provides the same settings as found in the 3D view
Shading popover in solid display mode, but in the scene render properties.
The "Workbench" engine was removed, and this name no longer appears in the
user interface, it's purely an internal name. We might come up with a better
name for this OpenGL engine still, but it's good to be consistent with the
OpenGL Render operator name since this has a similar purpose.
There is now a manual refresh button on the panel to update the list
of objects in case it changes, and it also gets refreshed when changing
the collection or toggling the use count option.
This is a bit more manual but the previous code of refreshing the
list while evaluating the depsgraph was unreliable.
This also fixes it to take properly take into account visibility, and
to work with linked collections for which index writing was missing.
Force Fields and Falloff are now simpler and more compact
by removing unnecesary labels (there was a text label just for one option)
Particle Force Fields Falloff is now a sub-panel of each effector type,
rather than just as a section with label.
Moves the preset into a menu for the panel header, so it can be changed
without opening the panel and takes up less space. Two remaining issues:
* For long lists the add new preset button can be scrolled off screen.
* We should support showing the name of the chosen preset in the panel
header, but the current preset system does not support detecting which
preset is used.

The ClayEngine was introduced to test the blender2.8 architecture during
development. As currently we have the wanted features implemented with
matcaps we are going to remove the clay engine as it was never intended
to be an official releasable engine
Note: The test cases are never run. But when enabled will be skipped as
they were implemented over the Clay Engine
Hair Particles shape properties are ported from cycles. Thoses properties
have the same defaults and have a do_version of their own. Cycles will use
theses properties instead of its custom ones.
Some realtime engine specific settings are also added to scene->r because
it's much easier to control as global values.
Bumping Version number so cycles can do its own do_version on top of the
default settings.
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.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
For correct results these must have been set already when the depsgraph was
created and evaluated, so all dependencies have appropriate resolutions too.
For particle we no longer backup and restore the viewport particles to avoid
overwriting them during render, as copy-on-write solves this for us. Even
without COW particles seem to work ok.
This also removes the particle simplification options based on camera. This
was never used much and only available in Blender Internal.
