This option prevent from automatically blurring the albedo color applied to the SSS.
While this is great for preserving details it can bleed more light onto the nearby objects since the blurring will be done on pure "white" irradiance.
This issue is to be tackled in a separate commit.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

This patch moves all the functionality previously in SceneRenderLayer to SceneLayer.
If we want to rename some of these structs now would be a good time to do it, before they are in SceneLayer.
Everything should be working, though I will test things further tomorrow. Once this is committed depsgraph can get
rid of the workaround added in rna_Main_meshes_new_from_object and finish whatever this patch was preventing from being finished.
This patch also adds a few placeholders for the overrides (samples, ...). These are obviously not working, so some unittests that rely on 'lay', and 'zmask' will fail.
This patch does not addressed the change of moving samples to ViewRender (I have this as a separate patch and needs some separate discussion).
Following next is the individual note of the individual parts that were committed.
Note 1: It is up to Cycles to still get rid of exclude_layer internally.
Note 2: Cycles still need to handle its own doversion for the use_layer_samples cases and
(1) Remove the override as it is
(2) Add a new override (scene.cycles.samples) if scene.cycles.use_layer_samples != IGNORE
Respecting the expected behaviour when scene.cycles.use_layer_samples == BOUNDED.
Note 3: Cycles still need to implement the per-object holdout
(similar to how we do shadow catcher).
Note 4: There are parts of the old (Blender Internal) rendering pipeline that is still
using lay, e.g., in shi->lay.
Honestly it will be easier to purge the entire Blender Internal code away instead of taking things from it bit by bit.

This adds the possibility to simulate things like red ears with strong backlight or material with high scattering distances.
To enable it you need to turn on the "Subsurface Translucency" option in the "Options" tab of the Material Panel (and of course to have "regular" SSS enabled in both render settings and material options).
Since the effect is adding another overhead I prefer to make it optional. But this is open to discussion.
Be aware that the effect only works for direct lights (so no indirect/world lighting) that have shadowmaps, and is affected by the "softness" of the shadowmap and resolution.
Technical notes:
This is inspired by http://www.iryoku.com/translucency/ but goes a bit beyond that.
We do not use a sum of gaussian to apply in regards to the object thickness but we precompute a 1D kernel texture.
This texture stores the light transmited to a point at the back of an infinite slab of material of variying thickness.
We make the assumption that the slab is perpendicular to the light so that no fresnel or diffusion term is taken into account.
The light is considered constant.
If the setup is similar to the one assume during the profile baking, the realtime render matches cycles reference.
Due to these assumptions the computed transmitted light is in most cases too bright for curvy objects.
Finally we jitter the shadow map sample per pixel so we can simulate dispersion inside the medium.
Radius of the dispersion is in world space and derived by from the "soft" shadowmap parameter.
Idea for this come from this presentation http://www.iryoku.com/stare-into-the-future (slide 164).
This commit introduces the following changes:
* Modified the poll callback on the "Update Paths" operator for bones
so that it only checks if there are bones that have motion paths
(instead of checking whether the active bone has paths).
This makes it easier to update paths without having to first select one
that has them - useful when the paths are all on hidden/hard-to-select bones.
* Add a readonly property, "has_motion_paths" to the animviz.motion_path
RNA struct, providing easier access to the internal flag used above.
This makes it possible for the UI to display the "Update" button without
having to check various bones for motion paths.
Notes:
* The flag being used in these changes already existed, and was only really
intended for internal use. However, since it was already used in many places
for determining if auto-update of all bone paths was needed (e.g. after certain
editing ops), it should be safe to use here too.
* The update_paths operator currently bakes all paths when activated, so there's
currently no loss of functionality with changing to not checking if the active
bone has any paths (e.g. we couldn't only update the active bone only either).
That is still listed as a todo in the code.
Samples : pretty self explanatory.
Jitter Threshold : Reduce cache misses and improve performance (greatly) by lowering this value. This settings let user decide how many samples should be jittered (rotated) to reduce banding artifacts.
How to use:
- Enable subsurface scattering in the render options.
- Add Subsurface BSDF to your shader.
- Check "Screen Space Subsurface Scattering" in the material panel options.
This initial implementation has a few limitations:
- only supports gaussian SSS.
- Does not support principled shader.
- The radius parameters is baked down to a number of samples and then put into an UBO. This means the radius input socket cannot be used. You need to tweak the default vector directly.
- The "texture blur" is considered as always set to 1
Add the 3D view ruler as a tool,
the modal operator remains for now
however it may be removed if we use the tool-system for 2.8.
Note that this does copy code from the operator,
its different enough not to attempt to de-duplicate.
The algorithm averages normals from nearby surfaces. It uses the same
sampling strategy as BSSRDFs, casting rays along the normal and two
orthogonal axes, and combining the samples with MIS.
The main concern here is that we are introducing raytracing inside
shader evaluation, which could be quite bad for GPU performance and
stack memory usage. In practice it doesn't seem so bad though.
Note that using this feature can easily slow down renders 20%, and
that if you care about performance then it's better to use a bevel
modifier. Mainly this is useful for baking, and for cases where the
mesh topology makes it difficult for the bevel modifier to work well.

This fix enables the usage of bbones easing parameters for edit and pose mode seperately. This allows animators to take advantage of the functionality and may eliminate confusion as the parameters now behave similar to other bbone parameters.
Note that splitting the parameters between the modes effectively creates a new parameter set. Blend files of previous versions do not contain this information and will have the values set to 0 on load. As it broke backwards compatibility for pose mode values anyway, I also took the liberty to rename the easing parameters in some places for consistency (which breaks edit mode values).

The system now uses several 3D textures in order to decouple every steps of the volumetric rendering.
See https://www.ea.com/frostbite/news/physically-based-unified-volumetric-rendering-in-frostbite for more details.
On the technical side, instead of using a compute shader to populate the 3D textures we use layered rendering with a geometry shader to render 1 fullscreen triangle per 3D texture slice.
This moves background images out of the 3D viewport,
to be used only as camera reference images.
For 3D viewport references,
background images can be used, see: D2827
Some work is still needed
(background option isn't working at the moment).
Tool for creating polygons, exact usage may change based on feedback.
LMB to add faces at boundaries (tris from edges, quads from verts).
- Ctrl splits edges
- Alt to dissolve edges/verts.
Works well with vertex snap & auto-merge.
This uses selection hover but isn't intended to introduce more widely
pre-selection highlighting, at least it will be restricted to this tool.
The tool-system it's self is primitive and may be changed.
Adding to 2.8 to develop operators and manipulators as tools.
Currently this is exposed in the toolbar, collapsed by default.
Work-flow remains unchanged if you don't change the active tool.
Placing the 3D cursor is now a Click instead of a Press event,
this allows tweak events to be mapped to tools such as border select,
keeping click for 3D cursor placement when selection tools are set.
