Note this was broken even in 2.7x.
We had a different logic for the plane wire, as for the plane itself.
And they were both wrong when changing the camera shift or the stereo
pivot.
Both of their logic is now unified and correct.
Also I had to create a new gpu batch for the quad wires, since there is
no state that allows me to filter out the geometry, and the square gpu
batch is quite different than the quad one (2d x 3d and orientation).
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This now only upload data per loops to the GPU, making use of index buffer
to draw polygon. This make use of the vertex cache, speed up renders
and saves a lot of vram.
Update performance is also slightly faster and can even be improved further
by updating only uvs or vcol independently.
This commits breaks texture paint batches. It will be added back in another
commit.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
This only happens after a certain threshold.
We sort triangles into 2 bins (start and end of the buffer) based on a
threshold and just draw the start bin if the wireframe slider is low enough.
This optimization is disabled for deformed meshes.
This should help resolve (to some extent) T58188.
Fixes T57931 Particle weight edit mode is not supported.
There is a bug that prevent refresh of the toolsettings on which is based
the weight / non-weight display selection (see T58086).
In 2.79 hiding works in paint modes with selection enabled,
so it is a missing feature. This implements it in texture
paint overlays and in workbench base shading.

This decouple the vertex display from the face+edges.
This is to reduce the number of triangles required to fix the edges
artifacts (aliasing) and increase viewport reactivity when not actively
navigating (ie. mouse scroll).
Also it makes all vertices visible (not cut-off) even when navigating.
However it makes the navigation drawing a bit slower because it has to
render twice.
Also add a depth bias to the wires to avoid depth fighting when previewing
final mesh (modifiers applied).
This adds existing behavior from calc_weightpaint_vert_array
that was missing from the new rendering code:
- No selected Vertex Group displays as a solid pink color.
- Zero weight displays as alert color depending on Options.
- Multipaint mode correctly displays collective weight.
In order to properly implement this variety, a data structure
holding all relevant parameters is introduced.

For this we need to add a bias depending on the viewing angle.
But increasing the hardness of the test make float precision issues in
the mesh transformation more prominent (actual geometry is far below the
surface). So to solve this issue we use a more subdivided grid mesh
8x8 quads instead of 1 triangle.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
This is intended for quick renders for previsualization, animation previews
or sequencer previews. It provides the same settings as found in the 3D view
Shading popover in solid display mode, but in the scene render properties.
The "Workbench" engine was removed, and this name no longer appears in the
user interface, it's purely an internal name. We might come up with a better
name for this OpenGL engine still, but it's good to be consistent with the
OpenGL Render operator name since this has a similar purpose.
This does not fix the smokesim. It only port the drawing method.
The Object mode engine is in charge of rendering the velocity debugging.
Things left to do:
- Flame rendering.
- Color Ramp coloring of volume data.
- View facing slicing (for now it's only doing sampling starting from the
volume bounds which gives a squarish look)
- Add option to enable dithering (currently on by default.
Note: Metaballs only support the first material slot. Splicing it per
material would create empty Batches. In order to overcome this we set
the batch for other materials to NULL. We added extra checks in EEVEE
and Workbench to not draw when the geom is NULL.
This make the limited wireframe not a performance problem anymore.
However, this does change the number of edges displayed as the threshold
is now computed per vertex instead of per edges.
For this reason we extended (internaly) the range of the slider so that the
users can hide more edge.
Only OB_MESH is supported for now.
Creates a simple index buffer with negative indices if the edges is not a
real edge.
Also create the buffer texture representation of this buffer along with the
pos_in_order buffer texture.
The implementation is pretty straightforward.
In Cycles, sampling the shapes is currently done w.r.t. area instead of solid angle.
There is a paper on solid angle sampling for disks [1], but the described algorithm is based on
simply sampling the enclosing square and rejecting samples outside of the disk, which is not exactly
great for Cycles' RNG (we'd need to setup a LCG for the repeated sampling) and for GPU divergence.
Even worse, the algorithm is only defined for disks. For ellipses, the basic idea still works, but a
way to analytically calculate the solid angle is required. This is technically possible [2], but the
calculation is extremely complex and still requires a lookup table for the Heuman Lambda function.
Therefore, I've decided to not implement that for now, we could still look into it later on.
In Eevee, the code uses the existing ltc_evaluate_disk to implement the lighting calculations.

This makes the shadows ~10 times faster in the general case.
This only create extrusion geometry on the outline edges. Also we increment
or decrement the stencil buffer by 2 for each manifold edge and only by 1
for non manifold. This make the algorithm robust yet less heavy than creating
one prism for each triangles.
We can not rely on edit->psys, it is not set for particle edit,
and there is some logic deeper inside which does different things
dependent on that.
We need to replace those checks with some some HAIR vs. PARTICLES
flag and always set psys pointer.
The idea is that edit mode structure is owned by original object,
and used for drawing. This is a bit confusing, especially since
path cache is also in that structure and needs evaluated object
to calculate cache.
In the future we should split edit data from visualization data,
but that's bigger refactor.
