Eevee does not yet support rendering point clouds, but an untested
implementation of this node was added for when it does.
Ref T92573
This implements the design detailed in T92696 to support virtual
filenames for UDIM textures. Currently, the following 2 substitution
tokens are supported:
| Token | Meaning |
| ----- | ---- |
| <UDIM> | 1001 + u-tile + v-tile * 10 |
| <UVTILE> | Equivalent to u<u-tile + 1>_v<v-tile + 1> |
Example for u-tile of 3 and v-tile of 1:
filename.<UDIM>_ver0023.png --> filename.1014_ver0023.png
filename.<UVTILE>_ver0023.png --> filename.u4_v2_ver0023.png
For image loading, the existing workflow is unchanged. A user can select
one or more image files, belonging to one or more UDIM tile sets, and
have Blender load them all as it does today. Now the <UVTILE> format is
"guessed" just as the <UDIM> format was guessed before.
If guessing fails, the user can simply go into the Image Editor and type
the proper substitution in the filename. Once typing is complete,
Blender will reload the files and correctly fill the tiles. This
workflow is new as attempting to fix the guessing in current versions
did not really work, and the user was often stuck with a confusing
situation.
For image saving, the existing workflow is changed slightly. Currently,
when saving, a user has to be sure to type the filename of the first
tile (e.g. filename.1001.png) to save the entire UDIM set. The number
could differ if they start at a different tile etc. This is confusing.
Now, the user should type a filename containing the appropriate
substitution token. By default Blender will fill in a default name using
the <UDIM> token but the user is free to save out images using <UVTILE>
if they wish.

This replaces lost functionality from the old GN Attribute Map Range node.
This also adds vector support to the shader version of the node.
Notes:
This breaks forward compatibility as this node now uses data storage.

Cycles preview rendering could free the image buffers being used by drawing in
another thread due to a race condition. This race condition was unlikely before,
but now that preview renders are started right before we draw the image in the
image editor or load it as a texture in the 3D viewport, it's likely to happen.
As we are close to release this is too risky to fix properly, just avoid freeing
the cache for preview renders instead and accept increased memory usage in some
cases.
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
