Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
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.
sculpt shape key switch. All cases that called this function needed parameter
only_face_normals set to false, so changed it now.
Also fixed wrong user count for imported mesh from collada and simplified
previous fix for tesselated faces to polygons conversion.
Issue with multimaterial meshes and mface to mpoly conversion being before assignment of materials (which is done on meshobject instancing?).
Added explicit bmesh conversion to MeshImporter which is called from DocumentImporter::import.
- converting nurbs to mesh was casting the material to unsigned char.
- subsurf was casting to char, then int -> short in a loop.
- have material functions take & return shorts.

Patch by Brecht van Lommel
UV import code wasn't taking possible stride into account (always assuming stride==2), thus reading UV coords totally wrong.
Submitted by David Roy
Multiple nodes can reference the same geometry, and specify the same materials. This lead
to the import code overwriting material mappings of faces in a destructive way. Instead of
just writing the material bindings always we now keep book of what geometry+material mapping
we've already handled.
fix included in report from Martijn Berger (mberger)
made some small changes.
- use ints rather then unsigned long for printing, values are not likely to be very large.
- CMake remove strict flags from collada build dir since I had warnings in the collada headers.
- added xml2 to collada libraries else I couldnt get collada building.
Import unit_settings to scene.
Note: I use here RNA to do this, and I think I might slowly work on replacing low-level DNA usage with RNA where possible.
