This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
* Add new CCG function ccgSubSurf_setAllocMask(). Similar to to
ccgSubSurf_setCalcVertexNormals(), it sets whether the CCG elements
have a mask layer and what that layer's offset is. Unlike normals
however, it doesn't change any behavior during CCG calculation; it's
there only to give CCGKey information on the mask.
* Add a new flag to _getSubSurf(), CCG_ALLOC_MASK. If set, space for
an extra layer is allocated, but the number of CCG layers is not set
to include it. This is done because GridPaintMasks are absolute,
rather than being relative to the subdivided output (as MDisp
displacements are), so we skip subdividing paint masks here.
* Add a new flag to subsurf_make_derived_from_derived(),
SUBSURF_ALLOC_PAINT_MASK. This controls whether CCG_ALLOC_MASK is
set for _getSubSurf(). Related, masks are never loaded in during
ss_sync_from_derivedmesh(). After subdivision is finished, if the
alloc mask flag is set, the number of CCG layers is increase to 4
with ccgSubSurf_setNumLayers().
* Add a new flag to multires_make_from_derived(),
MULTIRES_ALLOC_PAINT_MASK. Not all multires functions need paint
mask data (e.g. multiresModifier_base_apply.) This flag is always
set in MOD_multires.c so that subdividing a mesh with a mask updates
properly even when not in sculpt mode.
* Update multiresModifier_disp_run() to apply, calculate, and add mask
elements. It's almost the same as the existing operations with xyz
coordinates, but treats masks as absolute rather than displacements
relative to subdivided values.
* Update multires_customdata_delete to free CD_GRID_PAINT_MASK in
addition to CD_MDISPS.
* Update multires_del_higher() to call the new function
multires_grid_paint_mask_downsample(), which allocates a
lower-resolution paint mask grid and copies values over from the
high-resolution grid.
Changed name to multires_make_derived_from_derived() and parameter
order to be more similar to subsurf_make_derived_from_derived().
Added MultiresFlags enum with flag values to replace the local_mmd and
useRenderParams parameters.
This idea is borrowed from the multires modifier, which already
checked if the object was in sculpt mode and, if so, created the
PBVH. That check is now moved higher up the chain into
mesh_build_data(), so that it occurs for CDDerivedMesh too.
This also replaces an assert in cdDM_getPBVH for tesselated mesh faces
with a call to create them if missing.
most local modifier,GPU,ImBuf and Interface functions are now static.
also fixed an error were the fluid modifier definition and the header didnt have the same number of args.
Used a crazyspace approach (like in edit mode), but only modifiers with
deformMatricies are allowed atm (currently shapekeys and armature modifiers only).
All the rest modifiers had an warning message that they aren't applied because
of sculpt mode. Deformation of multires is also unsupported.
With all this restictions users will always see the actual "layer" (or maybe
mesh state would be more correct word) they are sculpting on.
Internal changes:
- All modifiers could have deformMatricies callback (the same as deformMatriciesEM but
for non-edit mode usage)
- Added function to build crazyspace for sculpting (sculpt_get_deform_matrices), but it
could be generalized for usage in other painting modes (particle edit mode, i.e)
Todo:
- Implement crazyspace correction to support all kinds of deformation modifiers
- Maybe deformation of multires isn't so difficult?
- And maybe we could avoid extra bad-level-stub for ED_sculpt_modifiers_changed
without code duplicating?
When there are 2+ consecutive deform modifiers, the second modifier was getting incorrect normals, this only showed up for the displace modifier since its the only deform modifier that uses vertex normals.
It would have been easy to fix this by always calculating normals on deform modifiers, but slow.
To fix this I added a function to check if a deform modifier needs normals, so the normal calculation function only runs if there are 2 modifiers in a row and the second uses normals.
All sculpting used to disappear before. Save MDISPS if new mesh has got the same faces amount.
NOTE: maybe some other layers should be saved?
- Apply multires modififier if MDISPS was auto-created.
Multires's applyModifier used to return unchanged DM when MDISPS was auto-created.
- Set multires totlvl from MDISPS layer when new multires was added to mesh with existing MDISPS layer.
Fixed bug #23657, "Modifiers dosen't work when you select diffrent mesh for object"
Multires modifier now adds empty mdisps if they're missing, rather than displaying a warning
Switching an object's mesh will now check for a multires modifier; if found the modifier's total number of levels are reset to match the mesh's mdisps
Switching the mesh also forces a multires update so that sculpted changes aren't lost
Fixes various crashes and redraw problems, most noticeable new feature
is that you can now sculpt on a multires mesh with deforming modifiers
preceding it.
I've left out support for sculpting on multires with enabled modifiers
following it, in this case only the base mesh can be sculpted now. The
code changes needed to do this are just too ugly in my opinion, would
need a more torough redesign which I don't think we should try now. In
my opinion this is also not really an important case, since it's going
to be incredibly slow anyway to run a modifier on a high res mesh while
sculpting.
So, to summarize current state:
* Fastest sculpting: base mesh with no modifiers or multires with only
modifiers preceding it.
* Slower sculpting: base mesh with modifiers, depends on the speed of
the modifiers.
* Not supported: multires mesh with modifiers following it.
patch by Ben Batt (artificer)
Updated patch for 6 or so modifiers added since the patch was written.
- tested with CMake and SCons
- fixed one error were flags were being added to the fluids type.
- remove BKE_simple_deform.h, simple_deform.c, move functions into MOD_simpledeform.c since there were problems with circular deps.
- moved some fluid and boolean functions used by modifiers too.
