Same as MEM_SAFE_FREE macro,
checks for NULL, runs free then sets NULL.
Blocks of code that do this many times are noisy and likely
errors here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
Also NULL's static vars which were being left set.
This removes MAX_STORAGE, MAX_BUFFERS, MAX_TEXTURES, MAX_PASSES limits.
Actual memory saving isn't so important, it just means we don't need to
manually bump these based on changes to engines.
Objects that were using the same lamp data were having the same display matrices.
This is fixed by allowing engine to store a memory block inside the object itself.
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2563
Removed infinite details and went for decreasing details with the distance instead (like the axis aligned ortho view auto sized grid).
Separate drawing of the Z axis into 2 pass (using shading group) to render ordered transparency with the main grid pass.
We render selected meshes into another buffer and use a screen space shader to expand the color out of the mesh silouhette.
Pros: only one additionnal render pass is needed (like old outline code), and we have occluded informations.
Cons: memory usage is a problem. This method needs 2 color buffer to ping pong when expanding the outline and 1 depth buffer to test occluded fragments. This gives a 88 bits/pix memory footprint.
Idea: Since we don't need all color range but only some uniform colors (theme colors) we could manipulate only the color ID instead of the whole color this could cut the color buffer size and lower the memory footprint to 58 bits/pix.
It also adds nice occluded silouhette information for selected objects that are behind visible objects.
This methods is really heavy because it needs to render the wires twices.
