Makes it possible to create tooltips for UI list rows, which can be
filled in .py scripts, similar to how they can extend other menus. This
is used by the (to be committed) Pose Library add-on to display pose
operations (selecting bones of a pose, blending a pose, etc).
It's important that the Python scripts check if the UI list is the
correct one by checking the list ID.
For this to work, a new `bpy.context.ui_list` can be checked. For
example, the Pose Library add-on does the following check:
```
def is_pose_asset_view() -> bool:
# Important: Must check context first, or the menu is added for every kind of list.
list = getattr(context, "ui_list", None)
if not list or list.bl_idname != "UI_UL_asset_view" or list.list_id != "pose_assets":
return False
if not context.asset_handle:
return False
return True
```
Add operator 'Open Blend File' to the Asset Browser. This operator:
- starts a new Blender process,
- opens the blend file containing the asset,
- monitors the new Blender process, and when it stops,
- reloads the assets to show any changes made.
It's useful to know where an asset is stored in, before this there was no way
to tell this. This could probably be displayed nicer in the UI but we're
currently unsure how. But at least the information is there now.
This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

The Pattern and Search display options in the Clip Editor display settings

This change makes the behavior consistent between shortcut and

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.

This constraint can be naturally viewed as a prototype for a future
4x4 matrix math node (or subset thereof), since its basic semantics
already is matrix assignment. Thus it makes sense to add math options
to this constraint to increase flexibility in the meantime.
This patch adds support for several operations that would be useful:
- An option to remove shear in the incoming target matrix.
Shear is known to cause issues for various mathematical operations,
so an option to remove it at key points is useful.
Constraints based on Euler like Copy Rotation and Limit Rotation
already have always enabled shear removal built in, because their
math doesn't work correctly with shear.
In the future node system shear removal would be a separate node
(and currently Limit Rotation can be used as a Remove Shear constraint).
However removing shear from the result of the target space conversion
before mixing (similar to Copy Rotation) has to be built into
Copy Transforms itself as an option.
- More ways to combine the target and owner matrices.
Similar to multiple Inherit Scale modes for parenting, there are
multiple ways one may want to combine matrices based on context.
This implements 3 variants for each of the Before/After modes
(one of them already existing).
- Full implements regular matrix multiplication as the most basic
option. The downside is the risk of creating shear.
- Aligned emulates the 'anti-shear' Aligned Inherit Scale mode,
and basically uses Full for location, and Split for rotation/scale.
(This choice already existed.)
- Split Channels combines location, rotation and scale separately.
Looking at D7547 there is demand for Split Channels in some cases,
so I think it makes sense to include it in Copy Transforms too, so that
the Mix menu items can be identical for it and the Action constraint.

Currently B-Bone scaling can only be controlled via their
properties, thus requiring up to 8 drivers per joint between
B-Bones to transfer scaling factors from the handle bone.
A Scale Easing option is added to multiply the easing value
by the Y scale channels to synchronize them - this produces a
natural scaling effect where both the shape of the curve and
the scale is affected.
In addition, four toggles are added for each handle, which
multiply each of the X, Y, Z and Ease values by the matching
Local Scale channel of the handle bone, thus replacing trivial
drivers. The Scale Easing option has no effect on this process
since it's easy to just enable both Length and Ease buttons.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D9870
In addition to the base bone transformation itself, B-Bones have
controls that affect transformation of its segments. For rotation
the features are quite complete, allowing to both reorient the
Bezier handles via properties, and to control them using custom
handle bones. However for scaling there are two deficiencies.
First, there are only X and Y scale factors (actually X and Z),
while lengthwise all segments have the same scaling. The ease
option merely affects the shape of the curve, and does not cause
actual scaling.
Second, scaling can only be controlled via properties, thus
requiring up to 6 drivers per joint between B-Bones to transfer
scaling factors from the handle bone. This is very inefficient.
Finally, the Z channels are confusingly called Y.
This commit adds a B-Bone Y Scale channel and extra B-Bone flag
fields to DNA with appropriate versioning (including for F-Curves
and drivers) in preparation to addressing these limitations.
Functionality is not changed, so the new fields are not used
until the following commits.

This moves the flash on mode transfer effect option from the overlays to
an operator property of the mode transfer operator.
- This effect is intended to show the target object when no overlays or
a minimal set of overlays is enabled. Making it part of the whole set of
overlays invalidates this use case.
- The effect is not intended to be configurable per viewport, it should
be a global option.
The effect is still implemented using the overlay engine (instead of a
draw modal callback) due to performance and drawing artifacts. Having it
implemented as an overlay with runtime timer data in the objects makes
also possible to run multiple animations at the same time without any

This overlay renders a flash animation on the target object when
transfering the mode to it using the mode transfer operator.
This provides visual feedback when switching between objects without
extra overlays that affect the general color and lighting in the scene.
Differences with the design task:
- This uses just a fade out animation instead of a fade in/out animation.
The code is ready for fade in/out, but as the rest of the overlays
(face sets, masks...) change instantly without animation, having a fade
in/out effect gives the impression that the object flashes twice (once
for the face sets, twice for the peak alpha of the flash animation).
- The rendering uses a flat color without fresnel for now, but this can
be improved in the future to make it look more like the shader in the
prototype.
- Not enabled by default (can be enabled in the overlays panel), maybe
the defaults can change for 3.0 to disable fade inactive and enable this
instead.

This patch adds the base code needed to make the full-frame system work for both current tiled/per-pixel implementation of operations and full-frame.
Two execution models:
- Tiled: Current implementation. Renders execution groups in tiles from outputs to input. Not all operations are buffered. Runs the tiled/per-pixel implementation.
- FullFrame: All operations are buffered. Fully renders operations from inputs to outputs. Runs full-frame implementation of operations if available otherwise the current tiled/per-pixel. Creates output buffers on first read and free them as soon as all its readers have finished, reducing peak memory usage of complex/long trees. Operations are multi-threaded but do not run in parallel as Tiled (will be done in another patch).
This should allow us to convert operations to full-frame in small steps with the system already working and solve the problem of high memory usage.
FullFrame breaking changes respect Tiled system, mainly:
- Translate, Rotate, Scale, and Transform take effect immediately instead of next buffered operation.
- Any sampling is always done over inputs instead of last buffered operation.
