Grab active vertex snaps the maximum strength of the grab brush to the highlighted active vertex, making it easier to manipulate low poly models or meshes with subdivision surfaces.
Dynamic Mesh Preview generates a list of connected vertices from the active vertex and draws them from the cursor code. This helps to visualize the real geometry the user is manipulating from sculpt mode when there are active modifiers.

This operator is a combined version of mask expand and mask by normal from the sculpt branch. It can be used to quickly isolate parts of a model based on topology or curvature.
- Shift + A starts the operator in topology mode from the active vertex
- Shift + Alt + A starts the operator in curvature mode from the active vertex

This brush lets the user pose a model simulating an armature-like deformation. The pivot point for rotation is calculated automatically based on the radius of the brush and the topology of the model.

The sculpt automasking feature assigns a factor to each vertex before starting the stroke. This can be used for isolating disconnected meshes, masking cavities, mesh boundary edges or creating topological falloffs.
This commit implements automasking in all brushes and topology automasking without topology falloff.

The mask filter operator modifies the whole paint mask. In includes multiple operations like smooth, grow or contrast accessible from a pie menu.
The dirty mask generator is similar to Dirty Vertex Colors, but it generates a paint mask. It can be used to mask cavities in the sculpt.

The mesh filter tool applies a deformation to all vertices in the mesh at the same time. It includes multiple deformation modes and the option to lock the deformation axis.
This commit also includes the FilterCache, which is needed in some new operators and tools.

This patch implements the paper "Regularized Kelvinlets: Sculpting Brushes based on Fundamental Solutions of Elasticity" https://graphics.pixar.com/library/Kelvinlets/paper.pdf
It includes grab, biscale grab, triscale grab, scale and twist.
All deformation modes are accessible under the same tool. This helps to keep the code organized and it should not make any difference to the user when a better brush management system is implemented.

This brush is similar to the draw brush but it deforms the mesh from the original coordinates. When used with the sharper curve presets it has a much more pleasant crease/cut behavior than any of the other brushes. This is useful for creating cloth wrinkles, stylized hair or hard surface edges.

This commit includes the new brush cursor, active vertex updates and the normal radius brush property for all sculpt brushes.
-The new brush cursor previews the real stroke radius over the mesh and the sampled sculpt normal.
-The active vertex is used in sculpt tools and brushes as a starting point for an operation, similar to a preselection. It is also mirrored following the enabled symmetry options to preview the stroke symmetry.
-The normal radius brush property limits the radius that is going to be used to sample the sculpt normal and area center. It controls how closely the cursor follows the surface and it improves the behavior of most brushes, making them suitable for hard surface sculpting.

These functions make possible porting the tools from the sculpt branch, making them compatible with PBVH_FACES and PBVH_BMESH without duplicating the code. They can also help to simplify some existing code.
These functions should not be used when working with PBVH_GRIDS data in SculptSession. PBVH_GRIDS needs to be removed from the sculpt code and converted to PBVH_FACES to be compatible with this API.

The voxel remesher introduces a new workflow for sculpting without any of the limitations of Dyntopo (no geometry errors or performance penalty when blocking shapes). It is also useful for simulations and 3D printing.
This commit includes:
- Voxel remesh operator, voxel size mesh property and general remesh flags.
- Paint mask reprojection.
- Geometry undo/redo for sculpt mode. This should support remesh operations as well as future tools that modify the topology of the sculpt in a single step, like trimming tools or mesh insert brushes.
- UI changes in the sculpt topbar and the mesh properties pannel.

While these aren't currently used, its strange to have
extended versions of a function without the non-extended versions
it also avoids callers needing to add them back if they need -
or duplicating the same boiler plate when calling the '_ex' versions.
Reverts 11da3b132a, 11da3b132a, adds depsgraph argument
so the caller is responsible for the evaluation state.
This change ensures that operators which needs access to evaluated data
first makes sure there is a dependency graph.
Other accesses to the dependency graph made it more explicit about
whether they just need a valid dependency graph pointer or whether they
expect the graph to be already evaluated.
This replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA which is now removed.
Some general rules about usage of accessors:
- Drawing is expected to happen from a fully evaluated dependency graph.
There is now a function to access it, which will in the future control
that dependency graph is actually evaluated.
This check is not yet done because there are some things to be taken
care about first: for example, post-update hooks might leave scene in
a state where something is still tagged for update.
- All operators which needs to access evaluated state must use
CTX_data_ensure_evaluated_depsgraph().
This function replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA.
The call is generally to be done in the very beginning of the
operator, prior other logic (unless this is some comprehensive
operator which might or might not need access to an evaluated state).
This call is never to be used from a loop.
If some utility function requires evaluated state of dependency graph
the graph is to be passed as an explicit argument. This way it is
clear that no evaluation happens in a loop or something like this.
- All cases which needs to know dependency graph pointer, but which
doesn't want to actually evaluate it can use old-style function
CTX_data_depsgraph_pointer(), assuming that underlying code will
ensure dependency graph is evaluated prior to accessing it.
- The new functions are replacing OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA, so now it is
explicit and local about where dependency graph is being ensured.
This commit also contains some fixes of wrong usage of evaluation
functions on original objects. Ideally should be split out, but in
reality with all the APIs being renamed is quite tricky.
Fixes T67454: Blender crash on rapid undo and select
Speculation here is that sometimes undo and selection operators are
sometimes handled in the same event loop iteration, which leaves
non-evaluated dependency graph.

This patch introduces the same presets that are used for proportional editing in the brush falloff menu. The user can select any of these presets or use the regular custom falloff curve. The presets are hardcoded formulas, so the falloff curve is not used when they are active.
This change improves the general feeling of the brushes and it is more convenient and simpler to use. The CUSTOM curve option should now be used in the case that an unusual deformation is needed, in other cases, the hardcoded curve presets should be the default.
The smooth curve presets is a must in the grab brush, as it fixes the deformation issue with the current custom curve setting. The user may try to adjust the deformation by tweaking the curve, but it is nearly impossible to replicate this desired behavior.
{F7636217}
Other brushes that are included in the sculpt branch also rely on this as they need specific hardcoded falloffs to produce the desired effect.

The PBVHs raycast function calls `isect_ray_tri_epsilon_v3` with epsilon `0.1` which is inaccurate and may result in the problem presented in T65620.
The solution is to use `isect_ray_tri_watertight_v3` instead `isect_ray_tri_epsilon_v3`.
This can positively affect other areas as well.

Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
It may be good to move the normals update out of the drawing code. But it was
already there for the non-multires sculpt cases, and does not have an obvious
place since we bypass the depsgraph and want to avoid the cost of updating the
normals multiple times when multiple events are handled before a redraw.
Centralize logic for when to use the PBVH for drawing, fix missing tests in
mask drawing, fix missing tests for multiple windows, only do more expensive
update for all viewports at end of the stroke.
Make sure object is properly evaluated to the new state when
it is expected to.
