* Brush editor tab now defaults to old
interface, with two options:
- Advanced, which shows more options
- Edit Mode, which shows workspace visibility buttons
* Hard edge mode (which forcibly sets face set slide to 0
and enables preserve faceset boundarys) now works again.
* Smooth_strength_factor is now a brush channel with
inheritance set to true.
* Alt-smooth now restores the hard edge mode and
smooth_strength_factor from the active brush context.
While both are default inherited from toolsetting defaults,
it can be quite confusing if either have inheritance unset
by the user in the Smooth brush.
* Fixed a particularly nasty memory leak
where the entire process of entering sculpt
mode was being done twice.
* Discovered that range tree is extremely slow.
Got the alternative freelist version up and running,
and replace a usage of GSet with a bitmap. However
the new code is disabled pending further testing.
Literally an order of magnutude improvement.
* Cleaned up the SculptCustomLayer API that is
used for custom data.
* Various SculptCustomLayer references are now maintained
in ss->custom_layers and are updated automatically when
the CD layout changes.
* PBVH_GRIDS now forcibly allocate custom layers in simple_array
mode (i.e. they don't allocated real customdata layers at all).
* SculptCustomLayers can optionally be preserved in the final mesh.
* Fixed handling of CD_TEMPORARY which was broken.
* The layer brush can now split the pbvh during use.
* Persistent base data is now saved as permanent CD layers (except
for PBVH_GRIDS). This is necessary for undo, if we want we can
add special code to remove them on exising sculpt mode.
* The layer brush now uses the SculptCustomLayer API instead of
having seperate bmesh and faces/grids implementations.
* In unrelated changes, fixed curve presets for clay brushes.
- Still need to implement stabilized input mappings, which the
clay thumb brush needs.
* BrushChannelSet is now a pure collection. This
eliminated the annoying brush.channels.channels
paths, and also makes library overriding work.
* Now sure I've done this correctly. Struct extended
collection properties are a bit confusing.
* Move more dyntopo settings to brush channels
* Implemented the unprojected radius hack in
the new brush system. I'm not really happy
with it, but doing it properly is going to
take some thought.
* Added a new curve brush channel type
* Added a BKE_brush_curve_strength_ex method
that just takes preset and curve as arguments,
instead of pulling them from Brush.
* Autosmooth and topology rake now have their
own falloff curves.
* Moved brush settings (in sculpt mode) to
(for now) a new properties editor tab.
* Brush settings can now be individually configured
to show up in the workspace buttons.
* Brush settings can also be reordered.
* The new brush tab has a "preview" subpanel
to preview the workspace settings layout.
This is where settings are reordered.
* Sculpt now has an API to get brush channel settings.
If a sculpt cache exists it will use the channels there
(ss->cache->channels_final), otherwise it pulls them
from a brush and Sculpt toolsettings. Exampes:
float f = SCULPT_get_float(ss, "setting", sd, brush);
itn i = SCULPT_get_int(ss, "setting", sd, brush);
* Improved the UI a bit
* The input device curves for brush channels
now use a copy on write mechanism.
+ It's based on a global cache of curves.
The alternative is to reference count
BrushChannels, which I also implemented
then abandoned.
+ Profiling showed that copying CurveMapping
instances was actually a problem.
* Lots of small fixes to the old<-> new brush setting
conversion code;
* Brush commands can now, sortof, have individual
spacing. The default brush spacing still acts
as a minimum though.
* Added a BLI_ghash_lookup_p_ex method that
returns the key ptr inside the ghash (it
returns the actual key, not a pointer to
Entry.key).
* Added a general 1d CurveMapping preset operator
that uses an RNA path to get the curve.
BrushChannels are now stored in linked lists
instead of simple arrays. This helps to
avoid memory corruption.
I had originally wanted to be able to pass
BrushChannels by value, but that doesn't really
work since they heap allocd data (the input
mapping curves).
- Show "Lasso Select" in menus (along with Box & Circle select)
- Show "Extrude to Cursor" (along with other extrude actions).
- Rename operators that add/extrude on Ctrl-Click
since their names were inconsistent.
This is mainly for discoverability.
While the screenshot operator showed an "Area" option,
it wasn't usable from the main menu (unless accessed via menu search).
Split screenshot area into an operator that depends on cursor.
"App" is a name reserved for the application templates at the moment.
It may become its own term in the near future if Templates are separated
from "Apps".
So since this is a name not exposed to the users we should renamed it
sooner than later.
Note that this will require scripts to update since the name of the
class is renamed here.
This also requires an update in the User Manual.

This breaks API compatibility. However we are now grouping this setting
in the proper section (preferences.apps), so scripts had to update anyways.
So they may as well do it for the final name.
The reason to remove from the UI is that this is intended for app setup,
and as such it should not be exposed to final users until we have apps
better presented (for 3.1 hopefully).

Seperate enabling PBVH_BMESH from enabling DynTopo:
* Created a new option to globally disabled
DynTopo.
* The DynTopo panel header now reads "Dynamic Mode",
to hopefully signal that turning on PBVH_BMESH is
a seperate step from enabling or disabling DynTopo
itself.
* The first checkbox in the panel is "DynTopo" so it
should be clear enough (it's on by default, with multiple
layers of file versioning checks).
PBVH_BMesh's undo system:
* CD_MESH_ID layers are now permanently saved once
they are created (by default they are not). This
fixed a *lot* of bugs:
Before this the undo system had to save maps between
mesh indices and mesh IDs on transitioning
between sculpt and global undo steps. This was
extremely error prone, and it simply wasn't possible
to cover all of the corner cases
* Note that there is still an odd bug where the first
global undo push after a sculpt step gets ignored,
I dunno what's up with this.
* Dyntopo undo should be nearly (hopefully completely)
bug-free after this commit.
C++20
* Made a few small changes to get blender to compile
with c++20. std::result_of was removed, had to
replace a couple of usages of it with std::invoke_result.
* I'm planning to do some design studies on rewriting
sculpt into C++.
* I strongly suspect we are going to need C++20'a new
concepts feature if we move sculpt into C++.
I'm planning to do some design studies on how
that might work.
With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

Mistake in {rB459974896228}.
To use Object Fonts, (vertex) instancing needs to be enabled.
So bring back the instancing panel and improve the instancing choice
(similar to rB6c0c766bcaa0) by just giving the 'Vertex' choice (or
'None') and explain this is only used for Object Fonts on characters.

* Collapse now uses code from decimate to detect
degenerate cases.
* Remaining, unknown (and rare) degenerate cases
are now detected (via presence of duplicate verts
in faces) and fixed.
* DynTopo fills in undo size properly now,
so undo memory limiting works.
The panning angle allows a more intuitive panning when the output is
surround sound. It sets the angle on the horizontal plane around the
listener. 0 degrees is to the front, negative values go to the left and
positive ones to the right. +/-180 degrees is directly from the back.
Technical detail: the panning value is linear with the panning angle
with a factor of 90 degrees. For stereo this means that -1 is left and
+1 right, since the speakers are exactly 90 degrees to either side.

I remember when we originally decided on the Dimensions panel,
one of the reasons we combined time and image size properties in the same panel,
was simply because the 2.49 and previous UIs used fixed-size panels,
so we often put two categories of properties inside a panel, using two columns.
Now that we no longer do this, we could clarify and simplify some panels
by splitting them, such as the Output > Dimensions panel

Allow the UDIM grid to be shown and adjusted when there are images
loaded in UV edit mode. Right now the grid feature disappears once an
image is loaded and many have found this to be confusing.
Based on community and artist feedback, there was support to change this
behavior[1]
This patch does the following:
- Allows the grid to be shown even when images are present
- The max allowable dimensions for the grid has been increased from
10x10 to 10x100 to match the underlying maximum UDIM range that blender
supports
Note: This should not affect other Image editor modes like Paint/Mask or
the Render Result viewer etc. Future work in this area is currently
documented in a dedicated design task[2]
