This is BAD code, but the particle kinking does not make it easy to
write a non-local modifier that requires neighboring positions,
curvature, etc. The feature is needed for Gooseberry.
This adds another level of clumping on child hairs. When enabled, child
hairs chose a secondary clumping target using a Voronoi pattern. This
adds visual detail on a smaller scale, which is useful particularly when
the number of parents is relatively small.
Natural fibres behave in a similar way when they become sticky and
intertwined. Hairs close to each other form a first twisted strand, then
combine into larger strands. Similar features can be found in ropes:

Scope update is very slow for high resolutions, and currently blocks
the UI thread(!). This is especially terrible in paint modes, where
each stroke causes a scope update and unacceptable freezing.
The scopes update method tries to avoid this somewhat by skipping if the
toolbar is disabled, but this doesn't help when painting where brush
tools etc. are frequently needed. It's also a bad-level poll, with the
core system accessing a UI element.
Eventually scope updates should become a low-priority background job,
as well as becoming threaded. Until then this polling provides a usable
workaround to the most outrageous cases.
This is an alternative method to the current fixed function with a
clump factor and "shape" parameter. This function is quite limited and
does not give the desired result in many cases (e.g. long, parallel
rasta strands are problematic). So rather than trying to add more
parameters there is now a fully user-defined optional curve for setting
the tapering shape.
This is necessary because the hair dynamics settings are not part of the
ParticleSettings datablock, but part of the convoluted cloth modifier
inside the particle system struct. In the future this will be recoded
properly, but in the meantime presets provide a simple an unobtrusive
way to have reusable dynamics settings for hair.

This helps to create some variation in a hair system, which can
otherwise become very uniform and boring. It's yet another confusing
setting in a system that should have been nodified, but only option for
now (broken windows ...)

This allows setting a target density which the fluid simulation will
take into account as an additional term in the pressure Poisson
equation. Based on two papers
"Detail Preserving Continuum Simulation of Straight Hair" (McAdams et al. 2009)
and
"Two-way Coupled SPH and Particle Level Set Fluid Simulation" (Losasso et al. 2008)
Currently the target pressure is specified directly, but it will be
a lot more convenient to define this in terms of a geometric value such
as "number of hairs per area" (combined with hair "thickness").

This is a bit more awkward for artists to use, but necessary for
a stable solution of the hair continuum calculation. The grid size is
defined by the user, the extent of the grid is then calculated based on
the hair geometry. A hard upper limit prevents bad memory allocation
in case too small values are entered.

more intuitive.
Also removed a couple of unused or useless features from the UI:
* collider friction is unused and replaced in favor of true collision
* spring damping refers to structural springs (stretch), which is
not noticable in hair due to extreme stiffness atm.
* pressure factors are not sure since this feature is too unstable atm.

shape instead of a brush tool.
The brush cutting tool for hair, while useful, is not very accurate and
often requires rotating the model constantly to get the right trimming
on every side. This makes adjustments to a hair shape a very tedious
process.
On the other hand, making proxy meshes for hair shapes is a common
workflow. The new operator allows using such rough meshes as boundaries
for hair. All hairs that are outside the shape mesh are removed, while
those cutting it at some length are shortened accordingly.
The operator can be accessed in the particle edit mode toolbar via the
"Shape Cut" button. The "Shape Object" must be set first and stays
selected as a tool setting for repeatedly applying the shape.
Without this the particle system only shows the actual non-simulated
hairs ("guide hairs") during edit mode. These hairs are used for goals
as well, so showing them in the regular viewport is pretty important.
Also the usual hair curves are interpolated along the entire length,
which makes it very difficult to see exact vertex positions, unless
using exact powers of 2 for the segment number and match the display
steps.

This returns a general status (success/no-convergence/other) along with
basic statistics (min/max/average) for the error value and the number
of iterations. It allows some general estimation of the simulation
quality and detection of critical settings that could become a problem.
Better visualization and extended feedback can follow later.
This is part of the original method from "Volumetric Methods for
Simulation and Rendering of Hair". The current filter is a simple box
filter. Other energy-preserving filters such as gaussian filtering
can be implemented later.
The filter size is currently given as a cell count. This is not ideal,
rather it should use a geometrical length value, but this is too
abstract for proper artistical use. Eventually defining the whole grid
in terms of spatial size might work better (possibly using an external
object).
as forces, velocities, contact points etc.
This uses a hash table to store debug elements (dots, lines, vectors at
this point). The hash table allows continuous display of elements that
are generated only in certain time steps, e.g. contact points, while
avoiding massive memory allocation. In any case, this system is really
a development feature, but very helpful in finding issues with the
internal solver data.
on itself.
This uses the same voxel structure as the hair smoothing algorithm.
A slightly different method was suggested in the original paper
(Volumetric Methods for Simulation and Rendering of Hair), but this is
based on directing hair based on a target density, which is another
way of implementing global goals. Our own approach is to define a
pressure threshold above which the hair is repelled in the density
gradient direction to simulate internal pressure from collisions.
in the particle buttons list.
This is much more convenient than having to switch back and forth
between particle and modifier buttons. The modifier box for particles
does not contain anything useful other than these two toggles anyway.
This patch adds the option to set minimum/maximum latitude/longitude values for
the equirectangular panorama camera in Cycles, as discussed in T34400.
The separate functions in kernel_projection.h are needed because the regular
ones are also used as helper functions for environment map sampling.

Currently this is mainly useful for picking camera DOF depth.
- EKey over a distance field prompts you to pick a depth from the camera.
- WKey (Specials menu) to pick from the 3D view (when the active camera's selected).
This commit adds a new type of volume preservation mode to Spline IK
which makes it possible to set limits on the minimum and maximum
scaling of bone "fatness".
* The old volume preseving mode has been kept but renamed, to avoid
breaking old rigs. "Volume Presevation" uses the new method, while
"Inverse Preservation" is the old one.
* The code and settings for this new xz scale mode are directly lifted
from the improved Stretch To constraint
This time, it's a dedicated operator user has to run before saving the file.
And it recursively check all IDs linked from each scene, therefore rendering
materials etc. previews using a scene they are used in.
Note the renderengine issue is not completely addressed this way
(existing code for icon previews seems to ignore completely other engines,
and IDs not linked anywhere (fake-user ones) will be rendered with current scene's engine
as fallback, also you can get a material linked to an hidden object in a scene, etc.).

We can now use 'generic' data transfer instead.
Note new one is not an exact replacement, it should be able to do
everyting old op could do though, and more.
Not much to add, modifier uses same code as operator basically, only key difference
is that modifier will never create data layers itself, you have to use dedicated operator
for that.
This add code needed to map a CD data layout from source mesh towards destination one,
and code needed to actually transfer data, using BKE's mesh remap generated data.
This allows to transfer most CD layers (vgroups, vcols, uvs...) as well as fake, boolean ones
(like smooth/sharp edges/faces, etc.). Some types are not yet transferable, mainly
shape keys, this is known TODO.
Data transfer can also use some advanced mixing in some cases (mostly, vgroups and vcols).
Notes:
* New transfer operators transfer data from active object towards selected ones.
* Modifier will be committed separately.
* Old weight transfer code (for vgroups) is kept for now, mostly because it is the only
usable one in weightpaint mode (it transfers from selected object to active one,
this is not sensible in Object mode, but needed in WeightPaint one). This will be addressed soon.
Again, heavily reviewed and enhanced by Campbell, thanks!

This was a tricky commit that was not so straightforward to make work.
The information for bones is not easy to come by in the animation curves,
however we do have some string manipulation tricks to make it happen.
Testing in gooseberry worked for the rigs there, commiting to master now
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.
