This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.
Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.
As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.
There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

A point of confusion about this node is that it doesn't work on the
output of the mesh circle primitive node. This patch adds a warning to
help with that. This avoids adding a warning when the geometry set
input has no mesh.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D11771
As noted in a comment now, these functions only update a cache, so they
don't change the logical state of the mesh, which is "it will have the
data when necessary." Using a const argument will help const correctness
when accessing an object's evaluated mesh.
This node has two modes: the first mode computes a circle from three
locations and a resolution. The second takes radius and resolution.
The first mode also outputs the center of the computed circle as
a vector.

Creates a Curve with 1 Bezier Spline from four positions (start,
start handle, end handle, end) and a resolution. The handles are
aligned and mirrored automatically. An "Offset" mode is also included
to allow specifying the handles relative to the control points.
The default settings recreate the existing default Bezier Curve in the
3D viewport add menu.

This node creates a curve spline and gives control for the number of
rotations, the number of points per rotation, start and end radius,
height, and direction. The "Reverse" input produces a visual change,
it doesn't just change the order of the control points.

The node is a basic star pattern node that outputs a poly spline.

* Reduce code duplication.
* Give methods more standardized names (e.g. `move_to_initialized` -> `move_assign`).
* Support wrapping arbitrary C++ types, even those that e.g. are not copyable.
Make the virtual functions protected and simpler, so that the logic is
better contained in the base class's implementation. Also introduce a
`copy_without_attributes` method to be used for realizing instances.
`src` and `dst` are perfectly clear, and avoid repeating unecessary
characters when writing the variables many times, allowing more space
for everything else.
This commit optimizes the node for the case where it works on many
splines by allowing it to generate mesh data from their combinations
in parallel. By itself, this made the node around twice as fast in my
test file with a result of 20 million vertices, around 600ms instead of
1.2s before.
That isn't actually a very good result; it reveals another bottleneck,
a single threaded loop over all face corners in the mesh normal
calculation code. As a simple change that might improve performance
in some situations, this commit moves normal calculation out of this
node, so at least the work isn't wasted if the mesh is changed later
on in the node tree anyway.
The //Raycast// node intersects rays from one geometry onto another.
It computes hit points on the target mesh and returns normals, distances
and any surface attribute specified by the user.
A ray starts on each point of the input //Geometry//. Rays continue
in the //Ray Direction// until they either hit the //Target Geometry//
or reach the //Ray Length// limit. If the target is hit, the value of the
//Is Hit// attribute in the output mesh will be true. //Hit Position//,
//Hit Normal//, //Hit Distance// and //Hit Index// are the properties of the
target mesh at the intersection point. In addition, a //Target Attribute//
can be specified that is interpolated at the hit point and the result
stored in //Hit Attribute//.

This node creates splines with more control points in between the
existing control points. The point is to give the splines more
definition for further tweaking like randomization with white noise,
instead of deforming a resampled poly spline with a noise texture.
For poly splines and NURBS, the node simply interpolates new values
between the existing control points. However, for Bezier splines,
the result follows the existing evaluated shape of the curve, changing
the handle positions and handle types to make that possible.
The number of "cuts" can be controlled by an integer input, or an
attribute can be used. Both spline and point domain attributes are
supported, so the number of cuts can vary using the value from the
point at the start of each segment.
Dynamic curve attributes are interpolated to the result with linear
interpolation.

- BKE_mesh_copy_parameters is a general function for copying parameters

This namespace groups threading related functions/classes. This avoids
adding more threading related stuff to the blender namespace. Also it
makes naming a bit easier, e.g. the c++ version of BLI_task_isolate could
become blender::threading::isolate_task or something similar.

Implementation of T86970. This node takes a geometry input with
multiple components and outputs them by component type. Meshes,
Curves, and Point Clouds support combining multiple input instances,
while volumes will only output the first volume component input until
suitable instance realization for multiple volumes is finished.
When direct geometry instancing is implemented it will be possible to
avoid realizing instances in this node.

Just like the way we often have a choice between an attribute input and
a single float, this adds the ability to choose between attribute and
integer input sockets, useful for D11421.
This commit lets the join geometry node transfer dynamic attributes
to the result, the same way that point cloud and mesh attributes are
joined. The implementation is different though, because of an
optimization implemented for curves to avoid copying splines.
The result attribute is added with the highest priority domain (points
over splines), and the highest complexity data type. If one curve had
the attribute on the spline domain but not others, the point domain
values will be used.
Generally this is a bit lower level than I would have liked this code
to be, but should be efficient, and it's really not too complicated.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D11491
Instead of building a set and then determining the final domain and
type for every attribute separately in the loop, construct a map with
the necessary data in the first place. This is simpler and should be
slightly more efficient.
Split from D11491
This is an implementation of T88722. It accepts a curve object and
for each spline, reverses the order of the points and all attributes.
This is more of a foundational node to support other nodes in the
future (like curve deform)
Selection takes spline domain attributes to determine which splines
are selected. If no selection is present all splines are reversed.

This node implements the second option of T87429, creating points
along the input splines with the necessary evaluated information
for instancing: `tangent`, `normal`, and `rotation` attributes.
All generic curve point and spline attributes are copied to the
result points as well.
The "Count" and "Length" methods are just like the current options
in the resample node, but the output is points instead of a curve.
The "Evaluated" method uses the points you see on the curve directly,
and therefore should be the fastest.
The rotation data is retrieved from a transform matrix built with the
same method that the curve to mesh node uses. The radius attribute is
divided by 10 so the points don't look absurdly huge in the viewport.
In the future that could be an option.
For the implementation, one thing that could use an improvement
is the amount of temporary allocations while resampling to evaluated
points before the final points. I expect that reusing a buffer for
each thread would give a nice improvement.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D11539
While this preprocessing does take some time upfront,
it avoids longer lookup later on, especially as nodes get
more sockets.
It's probably possible to make this more efficient in some cases
but this is good enough for now.
Prepare node for conversion to Geometry Nodes.
There should be no functional changes.

First, expand on the interpolation to evaluated points with a templated
helper function, and a function that takes a GSPan. Next, add a set of
functions to `Spline` for interpolating at arbitrary intervals between
the evaluated points. The code for doing that isn't that complicated
anyway, but it's nice to avoid repeating, and it might make it easier
to unroll the special cases for the first and last points if we require
the index factors to be sorted.
This commit adds a node to output the convex hull of any input geometry
as a mesh, which is an enclosing geometry around a set of points.
All geometry types are supported, besides volumes.
The code supports operating on instances to avoid copying all input
geometry before the operation. The implementation uses the same backend
as the operation in edit mode, but uses Mesh directly instead of BMesh.
Attribute transfer is not supported currently, but would be a point of
improvement for the future if it can work in a predictable way on
different geometry input types.
