During drawing, the depsgrah was tagged to update and this produced a full copy of the datablock. This tag was done in order to get the right data in drawing engine, but this added a great overhead while drawing and the response of the pen was not good.
Now, the depsgraph is not tagged and the drawing engine uses the original copy data of the buffer datablock. This is not a problem because only can draw in one window at time.
There was an issue caused by Antialiasing being done after DoF. Move TAA
after DOF and Motion Blur.
Also certain pixel with lower CoC would be spread all over the background
because the neighbooring pixel have higher CoC. So we need to apply some
bilateral filtering when downsampling. Currently we limit the influence of
neighbor pixels with a CoC inside the range [MaxCoC-2, MaxCoC].
This commit adds a new armature modifier for grease pencil. The deformations are done reusing the mesh deform routines.
There is also a new operator in weight paint mode to help the artist to generate weights base on armatures. This operator is required because 2D animation workflow is not equal to meshes when parent an object to armatures.
In the drawing engine has been added the option to handle the Fade object parameter used in armatures to see the strokes while move the bones.
When rename bones, all related data of grease pencil is renamed too. This not only affect new armature code, but also layers parented and hook modifiers.
Thanks @aligorith for his review and help.
Before, the weight data array was created always, but now only is added when a weight value is assigned.
This change was suggested by algorithm, and both agreed it was good idea.
As the polygon drawing is handled using a buffer that is converted to stroke inmediately, the drawing engine was not drawing the buffer stroke because it was empty, and the stoke was not visible becaus eit was in fast drawing mode.
Now there is a special flag to indicate the polygon mode is enabled and force the drawing engine to draw strokes and disable fast drawing.
This make the workbench draw everything in the background routine just like
eevee. This is because the workbench uses floating point buffers too and
rendering background to this buffer makes it incorrect without proper
color management.
This could be improved because in xray the background is not blended but
dithered as it's drawn after the main pass.
OpenGL rendering only implemented the deferred renderer. This commit
will add the forward renderer. The forward renderer is used when XRay
mode is enabled
