The Studio lights are now loaded from disk. The location is
`datafiles/studiolights` they need to be JPG for now. JPG cannot store
HDRI color range but they are clamped inside the Workbench
engine for speed reason. I didn't select JP2K as it might not be
enabled.
Users can add upto 20 HDRI files. This limitation is inside the
RNA_space.c Currently the icons are calculated when you first open the
selection box for the HDRI's. We could add them to a background
rendering later.
I added 2 test files a sky texture rendered in Cycles and an HDRI from
cloud.blender.org.
We can not rely on edit->psys, it is not set for particle edit,
and there is some logic deeper inside which does different things
dependent on that.
We need to replace those checks with some some HAIR vs. PARTICLES
flag and always set psys pointer.
This modifier still has issues that are not related to this port:
- While editing the deformation mesh, the deformed mesh doesn't update.
This update only happens after exiting edit mode, making editing
cumbersome.
- Binding doesn't work yet. It works fine when binding in master and
loading pre-bound in 2.8. This was also an issue before this port, and
will be investigated separately.
Scroll-bars are now hidden unless the cursor approaches them, in which case they
smoothly grow and become more & more visible. Note that since 0d309144020168e55,
scroll-bars are drawn on top of editor contents. There's no more jumping of
buttons when scroll-bars appear.
Technical notes:
* AZones are used to adjust scrollbars based on mouse movements
We may want to support screen level AZones if we want scrollbars to also
smoothly appear when approaching them from a different area.
I also plan to make further changes to AZones to clean up stuff a bit.
* Had to move AZone handling to a post ARegion init stage, since we need the
updated View2D data from there.
* View2D masks and scroller rectangles are now updated on every redraw. It's
cheap to do that though.
Scroll-bars used to draw in a little extra space in the editor, causing
buttons to jump a bit when they appeared/disappeared. Now they draw on
top of the buttons, just small enough to avoid bigger overlaps. Followup commits
will do further adjustments.
With this we can get rid of a hack that was calling the (often Python
defined) panel definition - the panel 'draw' callback - twice.
This matches the new convention for left-handed mode selectors,
however we're still undecided on exactly how this should work.
For now test this out as a convention for all space types.
Dynamically sized regions in the topbar were flickering due to only updating
their size after redraws. Now there is an optional layout() callback for
all regions in an area to do UI layout first, then refresh the region layout,
and then do the actual drawing for each region.
Task T54753
For Blender 2.8 we had to be compatible with very old OpenGL versions, and
triple buffer was designed to work without offscreen rendering, by copying
the the backbuffer to a texture right before swapping. This way we could
avoid redrawing unchanged regions by copying them from this texture on the
next redraws. Triple buffer used to suffer from poor performance and driver
bugs on specific cards, so alternative draw methods remained available.
Now that we require newer OpenGL, we can have just a single draw method
that draw each region into an offscreen buffer, and then draws those to
the screen. This has some advantages:
* Poor 3D view performance when using Region Overlap should be solved now,
since we can also cache overlapping regions in offscreen buffers.
* Page flip, anaglyph and interlace stereo drawing can be a little faster
by avoiding a copy to an intermediate texture.
* The new 3D view drawing already writes to an offscreen buffer, which we
can draw from directly instead of duplicating it to another buffer.
* Eventually we will be able to remove depth and stencil buffers from the
window and save memory, though at the moment there are still some tools
using it so it's not possible yet.
* This also fixes a bug with Eevee sampling not progressing with stereo
drawing in the 3D viewport.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3061
* Draw the frame/time number box over the scrollbar instead of above it,
to reduce the clutter/clashes with markers.
* Draw the box centered around the line instead of off to one side,
making it clearer that the frame shown is the one being affected.
* Make the box larger than the scrollbar + use white text to make it
stand out from the neighbouring frame numbers (otherwise, it's easy
to misread that it's just another one of those)
This makes easier to distinguish between different editors
(as oppose to an editor and its regions).
Note action zones look a bit strange with this. I recommend we do next:
* Make sure all 4 corners can be used as action zones.
* Remove their drawing code (or show them only on mouse hover).

A single panel

Expands all panels matching args.
Currently used in the topbar for redo and paint options.
This commit removes all references to the old timeline editor.
Unfortuantely, the removal of the Timeline spacetype defining
functions has ended up breaking the version patching code I'd
been working on earlier (as now, the editor gets marked as
"unknown/info" before we get a chance to patch it!)
This uses the global scene range, with styling matching the sequencer's start/end
frame drawing.
(The graph editor's "drivers" mode is exempt, as that doesn't really display time
in a linear way, so the start/end frames don't apply)
