Basically this commit gets rid of most of the derived mesh immediate mode
drawing (cases such as subsurf excluded). Even when VBO is turned off
in user preferences, we still use vertex arrays, which are very similar to
VBOs but memory is client side. Vertex arrays are OpenGL 1.1 so compatibility
is not an issue here.

This is added in the spirit of the general cycles GLSL system
which is pretty much WIP still.
This will only work on cycles at the moment but generating for blender
internal is possible too of course though it will be done in a separate
commit.
This hasn't been tested with all and every node in cycles, but
environment and regular textures with texture coordinates work.
There is some difference between the way cycles treats some coordinates,
which is in world space and the way GLSL treats them, which is in view
space.
We might want to explore and improve this further in the future.
...also </drumroll>
commits.
Basically, we don't set a draw buffer until draw time comes. Also add
explicit validation function to validate after all textures have been
attached (could be done automatically at bind time too probably, but
left out for now)
* read buffers are set at texture binding time
* change naming when setting a texture as framebuffer
* add function to set slot of framebuffer as current target instead of
texture.
* Binding a buffer reuses the dimensions of the texture at bind time
(can use viewport to set to arbitrary range later)
* Removed offscreen buffer width/height, use the generated texture
dimensions instead. Those were supposed to be checked to see if
generated texture had the requested size but were never actually changed
to the texture dimensions (and it's redundant to store twice).
The solution is to do the multiplication with the energy in the shader
after texture application.
We might be able to avoid setting dyncol completely, but this needs
better investigation. Some shader paths also look a bit redundant.
Also, texture mapping is not supported very well for light lamps, might
also need investigation.
Attempt to select closest bones when possible.
Occlusion query selection does't support this well because we can't
really derive depth information from occlusion tests. May be possible to
improve this somewhat in the future.
Bring back shading in texture painting.
This works now but it uses 3 texture units instead of two. Most GPUs of
DirectX 8 (OpenGL 1.4 should cover that) functionality even should have
those, but some old GPUs might not work with that. In any case, I hope
we will be moving to OpenGL 2.1 requirement soon anyway where 4-8
texture units are usually the norm.
This was a little difficult to track down, basically it was a missing
escape sequence that only manifested itself when GPU did not support
bicubic filtering.
Extra:
* Fix memory leaks when an error occurs in shader compilation
* Display full shader when a compilation error occurs. Makes it easier
to diagnose if problem is caused by a syntax or compatibility error.
There were a few issues to fix here:
* We did not really unpremultiply float image dabs prior to sending them
to the GPU. That made float and byte image result different in texture
painting and undoing could change the result.
* To make textures nicely composited over the mesh, I used decal mode in
OpenGL texture environment for the texture unit. This uses the texture's
alpha channel with a nice over operator.
* Texture creation used to override the alpha setting due to the display
restrictions. Not so anymore, people can now create transparent byte
images.
Also, made alpha zero default for new textures now, since it has such a
nice effect here.
This patch creates an interface for selection mechanisms in opengl. This
makes it possible to switch between occlusion query based or select
rendermode based selection transparently.
This is really useful on graphics drivers that do not accelerate the
select rendermode path (some ATI cards are notorious for this, and the
new path is used by default there), since occlusion queries are always
hardware accelerated due to their use in games.
The option can be found under system - selection. Auto just enables
occlusion queries for ATI users while the rest of the options enforce
one of the two methods always.
There is just one known change, previous code enforced nearest bone to
always get selected, even when mouse selecting near the same position, I
couldn't replicate the behaviour though.
patch by me with edits and review by Campbell.
Thanks!
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.
For full list of features see:

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
ATIs.
This is actually a test to see if this can be enabled on ATI cards.
According to various sources, newer ATI cards supporting GLSL 3.0
support gl_ClippingDistance in shaders, which is the forward compatible
way to do custom clipping.
This fix will bind 6 additional varying variables on ATIs, which may
lead to some shaders not compiling due to limiting out of those
variables, or to performance degradation. Also I do not have an ATI
handy to test.
Having those in mind, this commit may well be reverted later.
Clipping planes are usually 4 (6 is for cube clipping), but making
shaders depend on viewport state is really bad, and would lead to
recompilation, so I took the worst case here to avoid that.
Hopefully driver does some optimization there.
Issue here is most likely sampler uniforms and textures not being
updated properly when zero binding is created. Solution for now is to
allow zero binding but when this happens use sexy pink invalid texture
instead :p.
Using layer visibility in active render layer makes more accurate
preview but can cause problems in some cases:
https://developer.blender.org/rB1973b17fce65a4dfececb45b19abec37898c1ab5#comment-1
GLSL lamps now ignore layer visibility if lock_camera_and_layers is
OFF or game engine is running. The material lamp group still works
unconditionally though.
Avoid filling up buffers when total buffer triangles are zero.
Better still would be to tag a node as hidden when doing recreation of
the PBVH tree by checking for any visible elements. Original bug report
probably has to do with OpenGL doing something funky but hidden nodes
should be tagged as hidden to completely avoid iterating for painting.
This is to be done in a later commit.
Also some naming cleanup for consistency, GPU_build_pbvh_mesh_buffers to
GPU_build_mesh_pbvh_buffers.
This change makes lighting in GLSL preview more accurate, though it still
doesn't support material's "Exclusive" option.
Technical note: Changes in view3d_draw.c are not essential, these avoid
preparing unused shadow buffers.
