painting.
Also system added a brush every time it found no paint brush in the
system which is not what we would want.
Solution:
* Brush panel stays visible always, regardless of whether there is a
brush or not.
* We search for first available brush when we find no brush in paint
struct instead of always generating a new one.
* Generating and searching for a brush take a mode argument now. Needed
some refactoring to users of BKE_paint_init as well.
* Did some style cleanups for paint mode enums.
Patch is big but it's mostly argument refactoring.
Deprecate wrap (BRUSH_TORUS) option, we now have paint flags for tiling
and we can reuse those. Also allows seperate tiling in X/Y
direction for 2D painting now.
Only one tiling is allowed for now.
Options can be found in new "Tiling" panel under the tools tab.
For version patching, we just turn off brush wrapping,
to allow reuse of the flag in the future.
New option is paint mode wide instead of per brush so
a brush having the old wrap option will not enable it
for the whole mode in the version patch.
This commit mainly:
* Exposes PreviewImage struct in RNA, including ways for user to set images data.
* Adds a new kind of PreviewImage, using a file path and IMB_thumb to get image.
* Adds a new kind of custom icon using PreviewImage, unrelated to ID previews system.
* Adds a python API (utils.previews) to allow python scripts to access those custom previews/icons.
Note that loading image from files' thumbnails is done when needed (deferred loading), not
when defining the custom preview/icon.
WARNING: for release addons who would want to use this, please keep it to a strict minimum, really needed level.
We do not want our UI to explode under hundreds of different flashy icons!

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1255
Mask slot still depended on regular slot to check some capabilities.
Some angle capabilities now only depend on the texture slot, not the
brush, so separate them and use the slot where appropriate.
This commit includes a few things:
* It moves the Rake and Random flags from the brush to the MTex.
* The first change allows mask textures to have independent rake
support.
* Random rotation now has an angle value that controls the width of the
effect from the rake or default angle
* Rake and Random are now supported together.
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.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
do not use different stroke property names for different paint systems.
This was done due to different stroke sets being supported for each
system, but this lead to trouble if we changed the names (due to
different stroke sets being supported) and users created custom keymaps
with the old property name saved.
The first part of this fix addresses master. A similar commit will be
done to soc-2013-paint.
Turns out we didn't properly free node proxies that gravity did use and
strokes ended up accessing previous data. Also deactivated gravity when
a smooth brush is used. It is kind of distracting to get the mesh
gravitated while smoothing.
* Move symmetry options to the paint struct (where all paint systems can
make use of it)
* Rename draw_pressure to stroke_active. This is what is really checked
on those occasions that this is used. Also move turning on/off of this
option to the stroke level and avoid doing it on every stroke system.
* Rename BRUSH_RESTORE_MESH to BRUSH_DRAG_DOT. In image painting this
won't restore any mesh, so better have a name that is directly linked to
what the flag actually does.
attenuation that should really be optional. There's also a minor
performance penalty and all this only for one problematic case. In case
the tool flattens two surfaces, users can manually set the front face
only option. A better non-attenuating way to cull such vertices can be
added later.
Also flatten brush should calculate the flatten plane from the original
vertices or the flattening will not converge for planes offsets
different than zero.
Reported by Michalis Zissiou, thanks!
* Cleanup for previous commit and reduce some local variable referencing
* Add support for brushes that operate on frontfaces only and do not
show the option for those brushes. Currently only clay strips is in the
list but this may change according to artist feedback. This should take
care of the "sticky" surface problem completely.
* Change overlay alphas to 33 if not initialized. This should have been
done for 2.67 but better do it now to avoid frustration with overly
transparent overlays. For users that have set this low manually this
will reset the setting to 33 but I think it's less irritating than users
who unwillingly had the setting to 1 and saw nothing when activating the
overlay.
* Allow overlay alpha to be zero as well
* Reset old, now obsolete BRUSH_FIXED flag for brushes that still use
this. I am doing this here to avoid patching hell when the paint brush
is merged, since it's not possible to know the merged version
beforehand, and this flag will be used.
Allow separate control for tex/mask/cursor overlay. This commit implements
separate overlays for mask textures and cursor curves. The user can turn on
and off separate parts of the overlay by using the appropriate widgets.
The cursor overlay widgets are located at the tool selection panel
Also fixed alpha masks not getting correctly masked and mask texture mapping
not having the correct update callback
* Fix precision overflow issue with overlay previews,
* Expose alpha mask mapping to UI (still not functional but coming soon).
* More overlay refactoring:
Overlay now does minimal checking for texture refresh.
Instead, we now have invalidation flags to set an aspect of the brush
overlay as invalid. This is necessary because this way we will be able to
separate and preview different brush attributes on the overlays, using
different textures:
These attributes/aspects are:
Primary texture (main texture for sculpt, vertex, imapaint)
Secondary texture (mask/alpha texture for imapaint)
Cursor texture (cursor texture. It involves brush strength and curves)
Modified the relevant RNA property update functions and C update callback
functions to call the relevant cursor invalidation functions instead
of checking every frame for multiple properties.
Properties that affect this are:
Image changes, if image is used by current brush,
Texture slot changes, similarly
Curve changes,
Object mode change invalidates the cursor
Paint tool change invalidates the cursor.
These changes give slightly more invalidation cases than simply
comparing the relevant properties each frame, but these do not occur in
performance critical moments and it's a much more elegant system than
adding more variables to check per frame each time we add something on
the system.
* Shift-Rclick and holding right click, x or y will trigger constrained
scaling of overlay. Pressing again will revert to uniform scaling.
* Added operator, visible under the mapping drop menu, to fit stencil
aspect ratio to brush image aspect ratio.
* Made it possible to access stencil attributes from python as vec.x,
vec.y. Thanks to kgeogeo for pointing out!
* Using masking is determined only by the presence of the texture,
remove extraneous DNA flag (might cause issues later but in practice
brush options are not harmful)
* Overlay and angle sliders are active during stencil mapped brushes
* Only draw the overlay if there's a texture.
Stencil style texture mapping. Ready for field testing and user feedback.
This commit adds stencil like brushes, like those that existed on old ptex branch.
(with the exception of clip colour)
To control the position of the stencil, you use
Q: translation
Shift - Q: scaling
Ctrl - Q: rotation
There's extra work that has been done to make this work:
* Support for coloured overlay in vertex/texture painting
* Also made A button do stroke mode selection like in sculpt mode,
when mask painting is inactive.
There are some TODOs to work on during bcon3:
* Support tiled and stencil mode in 2D painting. Support alpha textures also.
* Tidy up overlay code. There's some confusion there due
to the way we use the primary brush texture sometimes for alpha, other times
for colour control.

sculptification commit. We have a drop menu to select the stroke mode
now. Jitter controls appear under stroke panel under all modes (As they
should! They stroke control options). Also enable jittering for all
modes. I really fail to see why not.
to brush size, and unlock icon to indicate absolute jitter untied to
brush size, in screen pixels. Also relative jitter now has soft UI limit
of 2.0 and a hard limit of 1000 times the size of the brush. Should be
enough for the most vivid imaginations...I hope!
absolute coordinates. This allows an artist to lower the brush radius
while keeping the spread of the brush constant. A toggle under the
jitter slider provides the option to switch between relative/absolute.
