Currently in fractal_noise functions, each subsequent octave doubles the
frequency and reduces the amplitude by half. This patch introduces Roughness
input to Noise and Wave nodes. This multiplier determines how quickly the
amplitudes of the subsequent octaves decrease.
Value of 0.5 will be the default, generating identical noise we had before.
Values above 0.5 will increase influence of each octave resulting in more
"rough" noise, most interesting pattern changes happen there. Values below
0.5 will result in more "smooth" noise.

This has no user visible impact yet since smoke volumes only support a fixed
set of attributes, but will become important with the new volume object.
For GPU shader compilation, volume grids are now handled separately from
image textures. They are somewhere between a vertex attribute and an image
texture, basically an attribute that is stored as a texture.

This is more in line with standard grids and means we don't have to make
many special exceptions in the upcoming change for arbitrary number of volume
grids support in Eevee.
The workbench shader was also changed to fix bugs where squared density was
used, and the smoke color would affect the density so that black smoke would
be invisible. This can change the look of smoke in workbench significantly.
When using the color grid when smoke has a constant color, the color grid
will no longer be premultiplied by the density. If the color is constant
we want to be able not to store a grid at all. This breaks one test for
Cycles and Eevee, but the setup in that test using a color without density
does not make sense. It suffers from artifacts since the unpremultiplied
color grid by itself will not have smooth boundaries.

Currently the link limit of sockets is stored in bNodeSocket->limit.
This allows for a lot of flexibility, but is also very redundant.
In every case I've had to deal with so far, it would have "more correct"
to set the link limit per socket type and not per socket. I did not enforce
this constraint yet, because the link limit is exposed in the Python API,
which I did not want to break here.
In the future it might even make sense to only support only three kinds of link limits:
a) no links, b) at most one link, c) an arbitrary number links links. The other link
limits usually don't work well with tools (e.g. which link should be removed when a new
one is connected?) and is not used in practice. However, that is for another day.
Eventually, I would like to get rid of bNodeSocket->limit completely and replace it
either with fixed link limits or a callback in bNodeSocketType.
This patch consists of three parts:
**1. Support defining link limit in socket type**
This introduces a new `nodeSocketLinkLimit` function that serves as an indirection to
hide where the link limit of a socket is defined.
**2. Define link limits for builtin sockets on socket type**
Data sockets: one input, many outputs
Virtual sockets: one input, one output
Undefined sockets: many inputs, many outputs (to avoid that links are removed when the type of the socket is not known)
**3. Remove `bNodeSocketTemplate->limit`**
This wasn't used anymore after the second commit. Removing it simplifies socket definitions
in hundreds of places and removes a lot of redundancy.

This further separates requested attributes and textures from the actual
node graph, that can be retained after the graph has been compiled and
freed. It makes it easier to add volume grids as a native concept, which
sits somewhere between an attribute and a texture.
It also adds explicit link types for UDIM tile mapping, rather than
relying on fairly hidden logic.
This patch provides an optimisation for Ease (Smoothstep) setting in the color ramp node.
This optimisation exists already for Constant and Linear modes.

Lacunarity parameter determines scaling of subsequent octaves in fractal
noises. For example, Noise node have this scaling hardcoded to 2.0. Each
octave have twice bigger scale than previous one, resulting in finer details.
By design fractal noises that generate octaves with same seed should not
have Lacunarity set to 1.0, since then it just stacks up identical noises.

Based on @fclem's suggestion in D6421, this commit implements support for
storing all tiles of a UDIM texture in a single 2D array texture on the GPU.
Previously, Eevee was binding one OpenGL texture per tile, quickly running
into hardware limits with nontrivial UDIM texture sets.
Workbench meanwhile had no UDIM support at all, as reusing the per-tile
approach would require splitting the mesh by tile as well as texture.
With this commit, both Workbench as well as Eevee now support huge numbers
of tiles, with the eventual limits being GPU memory and ultimately
GL_MAX_ARRAY_TEXTURE_LAYERS, which tends to be in the 1000s on modern GPUs.
Initially my plan was to have one array texture per unique size, but managing
the different textures and keeping everything consistent ended up being way
too complex.
Therefore, we now use a simpler version that allocates a texture that
is large enough to fit the largest tile and then packs all tiles into as many
layers as necessary.
As a result, each UDIM texture only binds two textures (one for the actual
images, one for metadata) regardless of how many tiles are used.
Note that this rolls back per-tile GPUTextures, meaning that we again have
per-Image GPUTextures like we did before the original UDIM commit,
but now with four instead of two types.

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.

This is only supposed to happen when copying nodes that are part of the user
editable database, not temporary copies for the dependency graph.
The LIB_ID_COPY_LOCALIZE test was wrong because it is a combination of multiple
bitflags as pointed out by Bastien, and was actually redundant anyway since
LIB_ID_CREATE_NO_MAIN is part of it.
Modes: Linear interpolation (default), stepped linear, smoothstep and smootherstep.
This also includes an additional option for the **Clamp node** to switch between **Min Max** (default) and **Range** mode.
This was needed to allow clamping when **To Max** is less than **To Min**.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.

Was caused by non-normalized coordinates (normals). Note this is not 100%
correct as the dFdx functions can be the same for packs of 4 pixels and the
derivated value can only be correct for one pixels.
This is because smoothed normals are a non-linear function (because of the
normalization).
The correct fix would be to do the dFdx offset BEFORE any normalization.
Was caused by the bump node not being evaluated because the other branch
was evaluated before.
To fix this, we use fromnode instead of tonode.
Also we fix a potential issue with recursiveness because
ntree_shader_copy_branch() also use nodeChainIterBackwards() which would
reset the iter_flag in the middle of the parent iteration. Use iter_flag
as a bitflag for each iteration to fix this.
