This makes it possible for engines to ask for batches and only fill their
data after all engine populate functions have run.
This means that, when creating the batches data we already know all the
batches that are needed for this redraw and the needed data.
This allows for less redundant data preparation and better attrib masking.
Ideally, we should run all viewports populate function before executing
the batch construction but this is not the scope of this patch.
Conversion from the old request method will be progressive and both can
coexist (see uses of mesh_create_pos_and_nor()).
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
This only happens after a certain wireframe threshold.
We sort triangles into 2 bins (start and end of the buffer) based on a
threshold and just draw the first bin if the wireframe slider is low enough.
This optimization is disabled for deformed meshes when playback is active.
This optimization is only implemented for meshes object for now.
This should help resolve (to some extent) T58188.

Fixes T57931 Particle weight edit mode is not supported.
There is a bug that prevent refresh of the toolsettings on which is based
the weight / non-weight display selection (see T58086).
In 2.79 hiding works in paint modes with selection enabled,
so it is a missing feature. This implements it in texture
paint overlays and in workbench base shading.

This decouple the vertex display from the face+edges.
This is to reduce the number of triangles required to fix the edges
artifacts (aliasing) and increase viewport reactivity when not actively
navigating (ie. mouse scroll).
Also it makes all vertices visible (not cut-off) even when navigating.
However it makes the navigation drawing a bit slower because it has to
render twice.
Also add a depth bias to the wires to avoid depth fighting when previewing
final mesh (modifiers applied).
This adds existing behavior from calc_weightpaint_vert_array
that was missing from the new rendering code:
- No selected Vertex Group displays as a solid pink color.
- Zero weight displays as alert color depending on Options.
- Multipaint mode correctly displays collective weight.
In order to properly implement this variety, a data structure
holding all relevant parameters is introduced.

For this we need to add a bias depending on the viewing angle.
But increasing the hardness of the test make float precision issues in
the mesh transformation more prominent (actual geometry is far below the
surface). So to solve this issue we use a more subdivided grid mesh
8x8 quads instead of 1 triangle.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.

- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
This is intended for quick renders for previsualization, animation previews
or sequencer previews. It provides the same settings as found in the 3D view
Shading popover in solid display mode, but in the scene render properties.
The "Workbench" engine was removed, and this name no longer appears in the
user interface, it's purely an internal name. We might come up with a better
name for this OpenGL engine still, but it's good to be consistent with the
OpenGL Render operator name since this has a similar purpose.
This does not fix the smokesim. It only port the drawing method.
The Object mode engine is in charge of rendering the velocity debugging.
Things left to do:
- Flame rendering.
- Color Ramp coloring of volume data.
- View facing slicing (for now it's only doing sampling starting from the
volume bounds which gives a squarish look)
- Add option to enable dithering (currently on by default.
Note: Metaballs only support the first material slot. Splicing it per
material would create empty Batches. In order to overcome this we set
the batch for other materials to NULL. We added extra checks in EEVEE
and Workbench to not draw when the geom is NULL.
This make the limited wireframe not a performance problem anymore.
However, this does change the number of edges displayed as the threshold
is now computed per vertex instead of per edges.
For this reason we extended (internaly) the range of the slider so that the
users can hide more edge.
Only OB_MESH is supported for now.
Creates a simple index buffer with negative indices if the edges is not a
real edge.
Also create the buffer texture representation of this buffer along with the
pos_in_order buffer texture.
