Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.
Implemented Features
--------------------
* Clay Render Engine, following the new API, to be used as reference for
future engines
* A more complete Matcap customization with more options
* Per-Collection render engine settings
* New Ground Truth AO - not enabled
Missing Features
----------------
* Finish object edit mode
- Fix shaders to use new matrix
- Fix artifacts when edge does off screen
- Fix depth issue
- Selection sillhouette
- Mesh wires
- Use mesh normals (for higher quality matcap)
- Non-Mesh objects drawing
- Widget drawing
- Performance issues
* Finish mesh edit mode
- Derived-Mesh-less edit mode API (mesh_rende.c)
* General edit mode
- Per-collection edit mode settings
* General engines
- Per-collection engine settings
(they are their, but they still need to be flushed by depsgraph, and
used by the drawing code)

User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This splits `interp_weights_face_v3` into `interp_weights_tri_v3` and
`interp_weights_quad_v3`, in order to properly handle three sided polygons
without needing a useless extra index in your weight array. This also
improves clarity and consistency with other math_geom functions, thus
reducing potential future errors.

Other than implementing a `mid_v3_v3_array` function, this removes
`cent_tri_v3` and `cent_quad_v3` in favor of `mid_v3_v3v3v3` and
`mid_v3_v3v3v3v3` respectively.

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
Lamp Data node requires shadow sample array which is only enabled when
Shadows are enabled in the shading settings.
This commit prevents crash but might not give expected render results
in such a configuration.
For some reason (which I can't recall), backing was doing backface
culling. Since Cycles itself doesn't ignore them (nor does Blender
Internal), they should be visible.
The idea is to have a dedicated thread which is responsive for all the
file writing to a separate thread, so slow disk will not slow down
OpenGL itself.
Gives really nice speedup around 1.5x when exporting barber shop layout
file to h264 video.
Suspicious conditional found by PVS-Studio T48917
Original code (from Blender’s initial open-source commit!) looks like
it’s testing inputs to atan2f, to avoid undefined function values.
Passing xn=0 does *not* always evaluate to 0 though… I’m not sure if
this is a coding error or was done for a desired visual result.
Also changed xn==0 to xn>=0 to avoid function call in more cases.
Good description and visualization of atan2f function:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/math/atan2
Checking a condition right after we’ve checked it (and it hasn’t
changed). Most of these are trivial to understand.
split_quads in convertblender.c:
It seems quads should be processed and triangles should be marked as
not needing split. So I removed the outer vlr->v4 check.
Found with PVS-Studio T48917
This commit contains all the changes required for most optimal maximum threads
number bump. This is needed to avoid possibly unneeded initialization or data
allocation on systems with lower threads count.
TODO: Still need to review arrays in render data structures from render_types.h,
P.S. We might remove actual bump of max threads from this patch, so when we'll
be applying the patch we can do all the preparation work and then do actual
bump of max threads.

This patch fixes shortcoming of D2046.
The original behavior without world_space_shading flag is that Texture node expects the reflected vector in view space. But with world_space_shading it should be in world space.
In attached file you will see a simple material setup and a node material analogue.
Simple material must have the same behavior regardless world_space_shading flag.
