Based on an user feedback, previous implementation with providing
decoupled X and Y speeds didn't work in production at all: there
is no way to combine this speeds to an usable vector.
So now we're providing speed vector output instead, which provides
speed in an exactly the way Vector Blur node expects it to be:
first two components is a speed from the past, second two components
defines speed to the future.
Old behavior can be achieved by RGBA separating the speed output
and using first tow components.
Now this speed gives quite the same results as a speed pass, with
the only difference that track position speed uses "shutter" of
1 while pass uses shutter of 0.5 (and there's no way to affect on
that?).
It is handy when doing some roto work and it's required to blur some
mask or overaly before alpha-overing it on top of the footage.
Quite straightforward option with the only limitation that variable
size blur is not supported.

velocity is measured in pixels per frame. It is basically a coordinate
difference of track coordinate at current frame and previous one (no future
prediction happens).
It's not really most intuitive place for such a things, but historically the
node was called this way..
Track velocity could be used to face effects like motion blur bu piping it
to the vector blur node.

This appears to be really common workflow when you stabilize shot to make compo
easier (roto, some effects and so) and then re-introduce the motion back.
Surely it's doable with some magic nodes and manual network for transforming
but such workflow is too common in VFX to resist adding one small option in
single node for this.
This was introduced in the fix for T44336 .
The code is now what it should have been in the first place at the time
of multiview commit.
ImageUser->passtype is being removed in favour of bringing

This commit fixes issues with wrong socket type being added to the Cycles debug
pass compositor operation, which lead to crashes with non-value pass types.
This commit also reverts socket renaming thing because while it's was behaving
ok on runtime file reload might have loose the links which is annoying.
Currently only works correct with single float output, RGBA and vector are not
supported so if one need to use this passes he'll need to wait a bit still.
It is coming, don't worry.
Quite straightforward implementation -- all the conversion magic is
happening in IMB_exr_write_channels() and remained changes are only
needed to pass information whether channels is to be converted to
half float or not.
Regular file output will use full-float for Z pass, which matches
behavior of the single layer EXR files. But when saving happens
with File Output node then all the passes are respecting half float
settings because it's not possible to distinguish whether we're
saving Z pass or not.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

This way re-mapping scene nodes to EXR files becomes much easier,
no extra trickery with separate RGBA setups is needed.
Plus makes it more consistent with regular EXR files.
This uses EGBA pass to get alpha from.
Quite striaghtforward change, and in theory we can even try supporting motion
blur for the corner pin node (which is tricky because coordinates actually
coming from sockets, but with some black magic should be doable).
The compostor used a fixed size of 4 floats to hold pixel data. this
patch will select size of a pixel based on its type.
It uses 1 float for Value, 3 float for vector and 4 floats for color
data types.
When benchmarking on shots (opening shot of caminandes) we get a
reduction of memory of 30% and a tiny speedup as less data
transformations needs to take place (but these are negligable.

Thanks for Sergey for his indept review.
Pretty much straightforward change which gives around 30%
speedup on my laptop and around 2x speedup on desktop in
the BI (which uses gts580). Tested with huge blurs (like
10% of blur) which was rather common during Caminandes.
For now OpenCL is only limited for blur size more than
100 pixels.
This is a bit experimental still, feedback is welcome.

This allows adding a "fake" sun beam effect, simulating crepuscular rays
from light being scattered in a medium like the atmosphere or deep water.
Such effects can be created also by renderers using volumetric lighting,
but the compositor feature is a lot cheaper and is independent from 3D
rendering. This makes it ideally suited for motion graphics.
The implementation uses am optimized accumulation method for gathering
color values along a line segment. The inner buffer loop uses fixed
offset increments to avoid unnecessary multiplications and avoids
variables by using compile-time specialization (see inline comments
for further details).
Proxy operations from muted nodes would still create conversion
operations where the datatypes don't match, which creates unexpected
behavior. Arguably datatype conversion could still happen even when the
main operation is muted, but this would be a design change and so is
disabled now.
Viewers were activated both inside the active group as well as the top
level tree (the latter being a quick fix for getting a fallback viewer).
This caused a race condition on the shared viewer image.
Now the active viewer is defined at node conversion time in the converter
so that only one can be active at a time without each node having to
follow complicated rules for exclusion.
This commit pretty much reverts all the changes related on tile-ability
of the fast gaussian blur. It's not tilable by definition and would almost
always give you seams on the tile boundaries.
Atmind already met the issue and tried to solve it by increasing some
magic constant, which is pretty much likely simply made it so compositor
switched to full-frame calculation in that particular .blend file.
Fast gaussian is really not a production thing and need to be avoided.
We're to improve speed of normal gaussian blur instead.
This issue is because of a somewhat "special" behavior in old code, which got lost during rB09874df:
There was a variant of the `relinkConnections` function which would leave the socket completely unconnected. This is not a valid state really (given that each unconnected input must otherwise connected to a constant `Set` type node), but was used as a way to distinguish connected alpha/depth sockets in composite and viewer output nodes.
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/source/blender/compositor/intern/COM_InputSocket.cpp;28a829893c702918afc5ac1945a06eaefa611594$69
After the large cleanup patch ({D309}) every socket is now automatically connected to a constant, such that `getInputSocketReader` will never return a NULL pointer. This breaks the previous test method, which needs to be replaced by more explicit flags. Luckily this was done only for very few output nodes (Composite, Viewer, Output-File). These now use the regular SetValueOperation default in case "use alpha" is disabled, but set this to an explicit 1.0 value instead of mapping to the node socket.
Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch
aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code
more transparent.
== Separating Nodes and Operations ==
Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have
very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the
compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for
nodes and for operations.
This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.)
and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear
at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can
use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and
fewer runtime sanity checks are needed.
== Simplified Node Conversion ==
Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e.
nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees,
then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard
to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid
states.
Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to
nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add
operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external"
links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping
instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and
result (operations graph) are cleanly separated.
== Removed Redundant Data Structures ==
A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the
SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph
construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly
sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common
pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little
performance improvement).
== Avoid virtual recursive functions ==
Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow
during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with
these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core
function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if
needed). See for example NodeOperationBuilder::group_operations.
This was suggested by Christopher Barrett (terrachild). Corner pin is a common feature in compositing.
The corners for the plane warping can be defined by using vector node inputs to allow using perspective plane transformations without having to go via the MovieClip editor tracking data.
Uses the same math as the PlaneTrack node, but without the link to MovieClip and Object.
{F78199}
The code for PlaneTrack operations has been restructured a bit to share it with the CornerPin node.
* PlaneDistortCommonOperation.h/.cpp: Shared generic code for warping images based on 4 plane corners and a perspective matrix generated from these. Contains operation base classes for both the WarpImage and Mask operations.
* PlaneTrackOperation.h/.cpp: Current plane track node operations, based on the common code above. These add pointers to MovieClip and Object which define the track data from wich to read the corners.
* PlaneCornerPinOperation.h/.cpp: New corner pin variant, using explicit input sockets for the plane corners.
One downside of the current compositor design is that there is no concept of invariables (constants) that don't vary over the image space. This has already been an issue for Blur nodes (size input is usually constant except when "variable size" is enabled) and a few others. For the corner pin node it is necessary that the corner input sockets are also invariant. They have to be evaluated for each tile now, otherwise the data is not available. This in turn makes it necessary to make the operation "complex" and request full input buffers, which adds unnecessary overhead.
As discussed in T38340 the solution is to use the current scene from
context whenever feasible.
Composite does not use node->id at all now, the scene which owns the
compositing node tree is retrieved from context instead.
Defocus node->id is made editable by the user. By default it is not set,
which also will make it use the contextual scene and camera info.
The node->id pointer in Defocus is **not** cleared in older blend files.
This is done for backward compatibility: the node will then behave as
before in untouched scenes.
File Output nodes also don't store scene in node->id. This is only needed
when creating a new node for initializing the file format.

The area-of-interest calculation for that node didn't work reliably.
It tries to estimate the distorted rectangular area based on min/max
distortion and dispersion values, but this fails in some cases and
leaves uninitialized buffer chunks. So now simply use the full input
rect as the area, even though it may not be as efficient - at least it
works ...
Also cleaned up the code somewhat to make it understandable, using
separate functions for common stuff instead of cryptic walls of math.
This patch changes most of the reamining degrees usage in internal code into radians.
I let a few which I know off asside, for reasons explained below - and I'm not sure to have found out all of them.
WARNING: this introduces forward incompatibility, which means files saved from this version won't open 100% correctly
in previous versions (a few angle properties would use radians values as degrees...).
Details:
- Data:
-- Lamp.spotsize: Game engine exposed this setting in degrees, to not break the API here I kept it as such
(using getter/setter functions), still using radians internally.
-- Mesh.smoothresh: Didn't touch to this one, as we will hopefully replace it completely by loop normals currently in dev.
- Modifiers:
-- EdgeSplitModifierData.split_angle, BevelModifierData.bevel_angle: Done.
- Postprocessing:
-- WipeVars.angle (sequencer's effect), NodeBokehImage.angle, NodeBoxMask.rotation, NodeEllipseMask.rotation: Done.
- BGE:
-- bConstraintActuator: Orientation type done (the minloc[0] & maxloc[0] cases). Did not touch to 'limit location' type,
it can also limit rotation, but it exposes through RNA the same limit_min/limit_max, which hence
can be either distance or angle values, depending on the mode. Will leave this to BGE team.
-- bSoundActuator.cone_outer_angle_3d, bSoundActuator.cone_inner_angle_3d: Done (note I kept degrees in BGE itself,
as it seems this is the expected value here...).
-- bRadarSensor.angle: Done.
