Hashed Alpha transparency offers a noisy output but has the benefit of being correctly ordered. Noise can be attenuated with Multisampling / AntiAliasing.
Noisy change, but safe, and better do it sooner than later if we are to
rework copying code. Also, previous commit shows this *is* useful to
catch some mistakes.
TexFace complicates the now more popular shading pipeline by having
per-face images, see: T51382 for details.
To keep the ability to select a per-material edit-image
(used with UV-mapping workflow), the material now stores an image
which will be set when changing images in edit-mode.
This is used as a bake-target when not using Cycles too.
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)

Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.
Implemented Features
--------------------
* Clay Render Engine, following the new API, to be used as reference for
future engines
* A more complete Matcap customization with more options
* Per-Collection render engine settings
* New Ground Truth AO - not enabled
Missing Features
----------------
* Finish object edit mode
- Fix shaders to use new matrix
- Fix artifacts when edge does off screen
- Fix depth issue
- Selection sillhouette
- Mesh wires
- Use mesh normals (for higher quality matcap)
- Non-Mesh objects drawing
- Widget drawing
- Performance issues
* Finish mesh edit mode
- Derived-Mesh-less edit mode API (mesh_rende.c)
* General edit mode
- Per-collection edit mode settings
* General engines
- Per-collection engine settings
(they are their, but they still need to be flushed by depsgraph, and
used by the drawing code)
New dependency graph puts materials to the graph in order to deal with animation
assigned to them and things like that. This leads us to a requirement to update
relations when slots changes.
This fixes: T49075 Assignment of a keyframed material using the frame_change_pre handler
doesn't update the keyframe using the new dependency graph
Turns out most BKE_foo_make_local datablock-specific functions are actually doing
exactly the same thing, only two currently need special additional operations
(object and brush ones). So added a BKE_id_make_local_generic instead
of copying same code over and over.
Also, changed a bit how make_local works in case we are localizing a whole library.
We need to do the 'remap' step (from old linked ID to new local one) in the second loop,
otherwise we miss some dependencies. This fixes main part of T48907.
BKE_previewimg_copy() would simply copy PreviewImage's icon_id, without bothering about
ID one.
When we duplicate an ID, we want to reset its icon_id to zero (and regenerate it on-demand),
not keep same icon_id as original, so added new BKE_previewimg_id_copy helper to handle that.
Idea looked good, but we have too much custom situations here (some half-fake-sub-ID
being copied with their 'owner', animdata, etc.), let's let datablock copy functions
handle that themselves.
Also allows to safely call BKE_id_expand_local from all copy functions now (only when
copying linked data).
Now test_object_materials only handles one object. New test_all_objects_materials
checks the whole bmain->object list for cases where it is actually needed.
Should avoid some useless looping over all objects!
Idea is to replace hard-to-track (id->lib != NULL) 'is linked datablock' check everywhere in Blender
by a macro doing the same thing. This will allow to easily spot those checks in future, and more importantly,
to easily change it (see work done in asset-engine branch).
Note: did not touch to readfile.c, since there most of the time 'id->lib' check actually concerns the pointer,
and not a check whether ID is linked or not. Will have a closer look at it later.

This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.
This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

We have callbacks for that, they also do some checks and help ensure things are done
correctly. Only place where this is assumed not true is blenloader (since here we
may affect refcount of library IDs as well...).
Idea is, instead of ignoring completely missing linked datablocks, to
create void placeholders for them.
That way, you can work on your file, save it, and find again your missing data once
lib becomes available again. Or you can edit missing lib's path (in Outliner),
save and reload the file, and you are done.
Also, Outliner now shows broken libraries (and placeholders) with a 'broken lib' icon.
Future plans are also to be able to relocate missing libs and reload them at runtime.
Code notes:
- Placeholder ID is just a regular datablock of same type as expected linked one,
with 'default' data, and a LIB_MISSING bitflag set.
- To allow creation of such datablocks, creation of datablocks in BKE was split in two step:
+ Allocation of memory itself.
+ Setting of all internal data to default values.

The issue was in fact caused by both preview and viewport renderers affecting
on the default material, conflicting with each other.
Preview render doesn't really need default material, so we can safely skip it's
initialization in the render pipeline for preview rendering.
This commit mainly:
* Exposes PreviewImage struct in RNA, including ways for user to set images data.
* Adds a new kind of PreviewImage, using a file path and IMB_thumb to get image.
* Adds a new kind of custom icon using PreviewImage, unrelated to ID previews system.
* Adds a python API (utils.previews) to allow python scripts to access those custom previews/icons.
Note that loading image from files' thumbnails is done when needed (deferred loading), not
when defining the custom preview/icon.
WARNING: for release addons who would want to use this, please keep it to a strict minimum, really needed level.
We do not want our UI to explode under hundreds of different flashy icons!

Support UV Map nodes for determining active UV layer. Now when an image
node is enocuntered, the system will recursively search the node's input
sockets for any UV Map nodes. Obviously this won't fetch any coordinate
transforms into painting, and it will only choose the first UV Map node
encountered if more than one UV Map nodes are combined.
However it should allow custom UV setups per materials and tweaking of
the UV Map node's UV layer from the Slots panel.
Propper fix reverting most of rB60e70c0c6014e5, which was only partial specific fix.
This code uses generic `BKE_id_lib_local_paths()` func to handle all possible paths.

This is added in the spirit of the general cycles GLSL system
which is pretty much WIP still.
This will only work on cycles at the moment but generating for blender
internal is possible too of course though it will be done in a separate
commit.
This hasn't been tested with all and every node in cycles, but
environment and regular textures with texture coordinates work.
There is some difference between the way cycles treats some coordinates,
which is in world space and the way GLSL treats them, which is in view
space.
We might want to explore and improve this further in the future.
