This patch adds the ability to mute individual wires in the node editor.
This is invoked like the cut links operator but with a new shortcut.
Mute = Ctrl + Alt
Cut = Ctrl
Dragging over wires will toggle the mute state for that wire.
The muted wires are drawn in red with a bar across the center.
Red is used in the nodes context to indicate invalid links, muted links and internal links.
When a wire is muted it exposes the original node buttons which are normally hidden when a wire is connected.
Downstream and upstream links connected using reroute nodes are also muted.
Outside scope of patch:
- Add support for pynodes e.g. Animation Nodes
- Requires minor change to check for muted links using the `is_muted` link property or the `is_linked` socket property.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

There are two caveats of the current implementation which still need
to be resolved in a separate step:
* In theory the data on the original object can be editable in the spreadsheet.
* If a complex object is in edit mode, and its original data is displayed,
the drawing code can be slow, because the bmesh is converted to a mesh
every time. The proper solution is to draw the data from the bmesh directly.
This should become easier after an upcoming refactor.

This operator initializes mask values for the entire mesh. It supports
different modes for initializing those values, and more will be added in
the future.
The initial version supports generating a random mask per vertex, Face
Sets or loose parts. These masks are useful for introducing variations

There is no reason to hide the 'Scale' and 'Scale Randomness' options
for fluid particles that are rendered as 'Object'.
It is possible that hiding these options was just an oversight and
not intentional.
This implements the MVP for the new spreadsheet editor (T85879). The functionality
is still very limited, but it proved to be useful already. A more complete picture
of where we want to go with the new editor can be found in T86279.
Supported features:
* Show point attributes of evaluated meshes (no original data, no other domains,
no other geometry types, yet). Since only meshes are supported right now, the
output of the Point Distribute is not shown, because it is a point cloud.
* Only show data for selected vertices when the mesh is in edit mode.
Different parts of Blender keep track of selection state and original-indices with
varying degrees of success. Therefore, when the selected-only filter is used, the
result might be a bit confusing when using some modifiers or nodes. This will
be improved in the future.
* All data is readonly. Since only evaluated data is displayed currently, it has to
be readonly. However, this is not an inherent limitation of the spreadsheet editor.
In the future editable data will be displayed as well.
Some boilerplate code for the new editor has been committed before in
rB9cb5f0a2282a7a84f7f8636b43a32bdc04b51cd5.
It would be good to let the spreadsheet editor mature for a couple of weeks as part
of the geometry nodes project. Then other modules are invited to show their own data
in the new editor!

In {rBb279fef85d1a} the button that displays a texture in a Properties
Editor texture tab was added for geometry nodes.
Same commit will actually show them for Brush textures as well (but
disabled -- because the Texture users dont match).
This task is for finanlizing proper support for Brush textures as well.
There was originally a separate patch for this (see {D9813}) but most of
it was already implemented by above commit.
**what this solves**
from the default startup file:
- go to any sculpt or paint mode and add a texture to your brush
- observe the button to edit this texture in the Properties editor is
greyed out
{F9860470}
There are two possible solutions:
- [1] call the texture template for the brush `texture_slot` texture
(instead of the brush 'texture') from the python UI code, this is then
working in harmony how ButsTextureUser works for brushes
- [2] tweak the way `ButsTextureUser` works (dont rely on
`RNA_BrushTextureSlot` there)
This patch implements the first solution.
Since `brush.texture_slot` is `br->mtex` RNA wrapped and `brush.texture`
is `br->mtex.tex` RNA wrapped, this really comes down to doing the same
thing. I checked that creating a new texture and unlinking/deleting will
have the same results even though they take slightly different code
paths: assignment and NULLing the pointers are working on the same (see
above) and RNA update callbacks also do the same [even though in
different functions]:
- brush.texture will do rna_Brush_main_tex_update
- brush.texture_slot.texture will do rna_TextureSlotTexture_update /
rna_TextureSlot_update
(only difference here is an additional DEG relations update in the case
of texture_slot which should not do harm)

Ref T86279.
Add operator `FILE_OT_view_selected` to the file browser (and thus also
to the asset browser) that scrolls selected files into view.
This includes the active file, even though it is not selected. In
certain cases the active file can loose its selected state (clicking
next to it, or refreshing the asset browser), but then it's still shown
in the right-hand sidebar. Because of this, I found it important to take
it into account when scrolling.
This also includes a change to the keymaps:
- Blender default: {key NUMPAD_PERIOD} is removed from the "reload"
operator, and assigned to the new "view selected files" operator. The
reload operator was already doubly bound, and now {key R} is the only
remaining hotkey for it.
- Industry compatible: {key F} is assigned to the new "view selected
files" operator. This is consistent with the other "view selected"
operators in other editors.

The Purge operator to remove unused IDs can now also remove 'indirectly

It can also now only operate on linked, or on local data.
All those options are exposed in the `File -> Cleanup` main menu.
The behavior of the `Purge` button in the Outliner remains unchanged,
needs some UI/UX design task for that.
The colons are not necessary in these situations because it's clear
that the label applies to the next group of buttons anyway, and they
add unecessary visual complexity. Committing as part of D9924.

Following with the changes included to interpolate strokes of different number of points, a full review has been done in the interpolation tools.
* Interpolate now is a tool and not an operator. It was not logic to have this tool as a button.
* Interpolate tool parameters have been moved to topbar.
* Interpolate popover has been removed from topbar and interpolate `Sequence` operator has been moved to grease pencil menu.
* Interpolate Sequence now include a Redo panel.
* Interpolate tool now allows to select the strokes by pairs. This allows to interpolate any stroke with any stroke and not as before that it was only possible by drawing order. If no stroke is selected, the interpolation is done as before.
* Now is possible interpolate again if a previous keyframe exist. Before, it was impossible to interpolate two times in same frame and this made impossible to do the interpolation by groups of frames.
* New automatic option to `Flip strokes` if the stroke and end are not in the right position. Also the flip can be set manually for corner cases.
* Cleanup of menus related to interpolate.
* Fixed some bugs and removed parameters from scene because now all are tool or operator contained.
* Some code cleanup and function renames.

This is a complete refactor over the old system. The goal was to increase quality
first and then have something more flexible and optimised.
|{F9603145} | {F9603142}|{F9603147}|
This fixes issues we had with the old system which were:
- Too much overdraw (low performance).
- Not enough precision in render targets (hugly color banding/drifting).
- Poor resolution near in-focus regions.
- Wrong support of orthographic views.
- Missing alpha support in viewport.
- Missing bokeh shape inversion on foreground field.
- Issues on some GPUs. (see T72489) (But I'm sure this one will have other issues as well heh...)
- Fix T81092
I chose Unreal's Diaphragm DOF as a reference / goal implementation.
It is well described in the presentation "A Life of a Bokeh" by Guillaume Abadie.
You can check about it here https://epicgames.ent.box.com/s/s86j70iamxvsuu6j35pilypficznec04
Along side the main implementation we provide a way to increase the quality by jittering the
camera position for each sample (the ones specified under the Sampling tab).
The jittering is dividing the actual post processing dof radius so that it fills the undersampling.
The user can still add more overblur to have a noiseless image, but reducing bokeh shape sharpness.
Effect of overblur (left without, right with):
| {F9603122} | {F9603123}|
The actual implementation differs a bit:
- Foreground gather implementation uses the same "ring binning" accumulator as background
but uses a custom occlusion method. This gives the problem of inflating the foreground elements
when they are over background or in-focus regions.
This is was a hard decision but this was preferable to the other method that was giving poor
opacity masks for foreground and had other more noticeable issues. Do note it is possible
to improve this part in the future if a better alternative is found.
- Use occlusion texture for foreground. Presentation says it wasn't really needed for them.
- The TAA stabilisation pass is replace by a simple neighborhood clamping at the reduce copy
stage for simplicity.
- We don't do a brute-force in-focus separate gather pass. Instead we just do the brute force
pass during resolve. Using the separate pass could be a future optimization if needed but
might give less precise results.
- We don't use compute shaders at all so shader branching might not be optimal. But performance
is still way better than our previous implementation.
- We mainly rely on density change to fix all undersampling issues even for foreground (which
is something the reference implementation is not doing strangely).
Remaining issues (not considered blocking for me):
- Slight defocus stability: Due to slight defocus bruteforce gather using the bare scene color,
highlights are dilated and make convergence quite slow or imposible when using jittered DOF
(or gives )
- ~~Slight defocus inflating: There seems to be a 1px inflation discontinuity of the slight focus
convolution compared to the half resolution. This is not really noticeable if using jittered
camera.~~ Fixed
- Foreground occlusion approximation is a bit glitchy and gives incorrect result if the
a defocus foreground element overlaps a farther foreground element. Note that this is easily
mitigated using the jittered camera position.
|{F9603114}|{F9603115}|{F9603116}|
- Foreground is inflating, not revealing background. However this avoids some other bugs too
as discussed previously. Also mitigated with jittered camera position.
|{F9603130}|{F9603129}|
- Sensor vertical fit is still broken (does not match cycles).
- Scattred bokeh shapes can be a bit strange at polygon vertices. This is due to the distance field
stored in the Bokeh LUT which is not rounded at the edges. This is barely noticeable if the
shape does not rotate.
- ~~Sampling pattern of the jittered camera position is suboptimal. Could try something like hammersley
or poisson disc distribution.~~Used hexaweb sampling pattern which is not random but has better
stability and overall coverage.
- Very large bokeh (> 300 px) can exhibit undersampling artifact in gather pass and quite a bit of
bleeding. But at this size it is preferable to use jittered camera position.
Codewise the changes are pretty much self contained and each pass are well documented.
However the whole pipeline is quite complex to understand from bird's-eye view.
Notes:
- There is the possibility of using arbitrary bokeh texture with this implementation.
However implementation is a bit involved.
- Gathering max sample count is hardcoded to avoid to deal with shader variations. The actual
max sample count is already quite high but samples are not evenly distributed due to the
ring binning method.
- While this implementation does not need 32bit/channel textures to render correctly it does use
many other textures so actual VRAM usage is higher than previous method for viewport but less
for render. Textures are reused to avoid many allocations.
- Bokeh LUT computation is fast and done for each redraw because it can be animated. Also the
texture can be shared with other viewport with different camera settings.
This patch will share the AOV settings between Cycles and Eevee.
It enable using the AOV name conflict detection of Blender. This
means that unlike how Cycles used to work it isn't possible to add an
AOV with a similar name. Conflicts with internal render pass names will
be indicated with an Warning icon.
