The mask overlay wasn't part of the overlay engine. The reasoning nehind
this was that more editors used the mask overlay and most of them used
old drawing code. This patch adds the mask overlay drawing to the draw
overlay engine. This code path will only be used by the image editor
VSE, Compositor and Movie Clip editor will still use the previous
method.
During this patch some alternatives have been researched:
1. `ED_mask_draw_region`: this would lead to different code paths when
drawing in the image editor, and some hacks to retrieve the correct
framebuffer.
2. Add mask drawing to image engine: Would lead to incorrect color
management when viewing the mask.
3. Add mask drawing to image engine and overlay engine: Would lead to
duplicated code.
4. Add mask drawing to overlay engine and for combined overlay select
the correct framebuffer.
Option 4 was chosen as the exception (switching framebuffers) can be
done without hacks. The code stays clean.
When in edit mode, the edit lines for de-selected surfaces did not
show up.
The bug was caused by the is_gpencil bool which reused another flag.
Both grease pencil and nurbs surfaces use the edit_curve_handle shader.
A dedicated flag was added to make sure the is_gpencil bool is
set correctly.

This patch will add volumetric transmittance to the cryptomatte coverage
data of all samples when post processing the cryptomatte passes.
It was discussed with Cycles that this is desired, but tricky to
implement in Cycles.
In Cycles the volume transmittance is already composited into the color
passes. In Eevee the volume transmittance pass was separate and needed
to be composited in the compositor. This patch adds the volume
transmittance pass direct in the next render passes:
* Diffuse Color
* Specular Color
* Emission
* Environment
This patch includes the removal of the volume transmittance render pass.
It also renames the volume render passes to match Cycles. The setting
themselves aren't unified.

Cryptomatte is a standard to efficiently create mattes for compositing. The
renderer outputs the required render passes, which can then be used in the
compositor to create masks for specified objects. Unlike the Material and Object
Index passes, the objects to isolate are selected in compositing, and mattes
will be anti-aliased.
Cryptomatte was already available in Cycles this patch adds it to the EEVEE
render engine. Original specification can be found at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/master/specification/IDmattes_poster.pdf
**Accurate mode**
Following Cycles, there are two accuracy modes. The difference between the two
modes is the number of render samples they take into account to create the
render passes. When accurate mode is off the number of levels is used. When
accuracy mode is active, the number of render samples is used.
**Deviation from standard**
Cryptomatte specification is based on a path trace approach where samples and
coverage are calculated at the same time. In EEVEE a sample is an exact match on
top of a prepared depth buffer. Coverage is at that moment always 1. By sampling
multiple times the number of surface hits decides the actual surface coverage
for a matte per pixel.
**Implementation Overview**
When drawing to the cryptomatte GPU buffer the depth of the fragment is matched
to the active depth buffer. The hashes of each cryptomatte layer is written in
the GPU buffer. The exact layout depends on the active cryptomatte layers. The
GPU buffer is downloaded and integrated into an accumulation buffer (stored in
CPU RAM).
The accumulation buffer stores the hashes + weights for a number of levels,
layers per pixel. When a hash already exists the weight will be increased. When
the hash doesn't exists it will be added to the buffer.
After all the samples have been calculated the accumulation buffer is processed.
During this phase the total pixel weights of each layer is mapped to be in a
range between 0 and 1. The hashes are also sorted (highest weight first).
Blender Kernel now has a `BKE_cryptomatte` header that access to common
functions for cryptomatte. This will in the future be used by the API.
* Alpha blended materials aren't supported. Alpha blended materials support in
render passes needs research how to implement it in a maintainable way for any

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Selecting an object by clicking on its instances only worked,
when the object itself is visible. However, it is possible to hide
the object and still keep the instances visible.
The solution is to give every object the correct `select_id` in the

This change will use the image engine to draw the backdrop of the compositor. With this patch the alpha blending will be done in Linear Scene Reference space and shows pure emissive colors.
See differential for an example image.
**Technical changes**
As only the backdrop drawing is done using the draw manager there are some technical changes.
1. The overlay buffer is partly drawn outside the draw manager. When drawing the backdrop image the overlay buffer needs to be masked to simulate premultiplied alpha under.
2. The backdrop of the node editor is done in region pixel space. A `DRWView` is constructed with this space.
3. UDIM textures uses world position to generate the UV coordinates. This has been implemented more strict by the `IMAGE_DRAW_FLAG_USE_WORLD_POS`. When the flag isn't used the local coordinates are used to generate the UV coordinates what is image space.
4. The draw manager now checks the actual `eSpaceType` of the space data to use different code paths. In the future the movie clip editor will be added.
NOTE: The preview images in nodes are drawn in display space and cannot show pure emissive colors. As preview images are used on more locations it is best to fix this in a separate patch.
