This introduces asset shelves as a new standard UI element for accessing assets. Based on the current context (like the active mode and/or tool), they can provide assets for specific workflows/tasks. As such they are more limited in functionality than the asset browser, but a lot more efficient for certain tasks.

The asset shelf is developed as part of the brush assets project (#101895: Brush Asset Project), but is also meant to serve as the next version of the pose library UI.

Support for asset shelves can quite easily be added to different editor types, this PR does so for the 3D view. If an editor type supports asset shelves, add-ons can chose to register an asset shelf type for an editor with just a few lines of Python.

It should be possible to entirely remove UILayout.asset_view_template() once this is in use.

Some changes are to be expected still.

Initial technical documentation: https://developer.blender.org/docs/asset_system/user_interface/asset_shelf/

How to test

There are 3 easy ways to test the asset shelf - the experimental Asset Shelf option needs to be enabled:

Pose Library

  • Requires asset-shelf add-ons branch to be checked out, make update does this.
  • Open the Ellie Pose Library asset bundle (if you don't have a library set up with poses): https://www.blender.org/download/demo-files/#assets
  • Ensure you're in a 3D View in Pose Mode

Python Template

Brush Assets (Extended Asset Browser)

  • Requires the Extended Asset Browser experimental option to be enabled.
  • Enter sculpt mode in a 3D View.
  • Mark some brushes as assets.

Note that the work is still ongoing, but this should be ready to be merged into main soon, at least as experimental feature. See #107498 for the remaining pre-merge TODOs.

An "All" asset library can be selected in the Asset Browser and asset
view templates now, and that will load all assets from all asset
libraries. Preview loading, drag & drop and asset catalogs don't work
yet.
Now it actually loads data from all asset libraries when this is
selected. The asset representations still need to be loaded by the file
browser backend, this won't change for now.

This adds the concept of nested asset libraries, which I'd prefer to
keep as implementation detail and not expose in the API. But for now
it's needed (for the asset representation loading by the file browser
backend).
Together with the changes made in master, all this does is making sure
the assets are loaded and removed using the correct asset library nested
within the "All" library. Now full paths for the assets can be built
correctly from the asset identifier, which fixes preview loading and
drag & drop.
We actually don't have to do this, since we can just iterate over all
loaded libraries after calling the loading for the "All" asset library.
Merges the catalog definitions from all asset libraries in to the
storage of the "All" one, builds the catalog tree and refreshes data as
needed. This doesn't allow writing changes back to the catalog
definition files, so the UI probably shouldn't allow edits.
Code was manually building the add menu from all asset libraries, this
should be simpler now.
Code was manually building the search menu items from all asset
libraries, this is simpler now.
Loading the asset library will create a read-only catalog service. The
read-only nature is not dealt with much in the asset catalog code, the
using code (e.g. the UI) is responsible for respecting it.
Progress bar display the file reading (and other operations) is actually
broken in master for a while, so this won't actually be reported. Still
calculate it for once it's fixed.
Adds the necessary bits to be able to show an asset shelf template via
the pose library add-on.
The new region is empty, except of a dummy button.
The selected catalogs are currently listed as simple labels in the
footer, just for testing.
Essentially, I wanted to use a non-trivially-constructible C++ type
(`std::function`) inside `uiBut`. But this would mean we can't use
`MEM_cnew()` like allocation anymore.

Rather than writing worse code, allow non-trivial construction for
`uiBut`. Member-initializing all members is annoying since there are so
many, but rather safe than sorry. As we use more C++ types (e.g. convert
callbacks to use `std::function`), this should become less since they
initialize properly on default construction.

Also use proper C++ inheritance for `uiBut` subtypes, the old way to
allocate based on size isn't working anymore.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D17164
The tabs should be fully working themselves, however we don't filter
the asset shelf contents based on the active catalog (well, catalog
path) yet.

Includes the changes from D17164.

Add a per node type callback for creating node add search operations,
similar to the way link drag search is implemented (11be151d58).

Currently the searchable strings have to be separate items in the list.
In a separate step, we can look into adding invisible searchable text
to search items if that's still necessary.

Resolves #102118

Pull Request #104794
In the outliner, the icons for modifiers are tinted blue. This didn't
work for the geometry nodes modifier icon.

Defining the icon with the macro `DEF_ICON_MODIFIER` also
defines the appropriate theme color so it's now tinted blue
when drawn in the outliner like the other modifier icons.

Pull Request #104957
No functional changes.
Pull Request #104934
Remember that the null customdata layer index is -1,
not 0.
Added new function sculpt_mesh_filter_cancel in sculpt_filter_mesh.cc
for cancelling mesh filters. It currently is unused pending a
revamped modal map for mesh filter (see pull req 104718).
This adds saving and loading tests for our supported image formats.

**Saving - bf_imbuf_save.py**
There are 2 template images which are loaded anew for each file save
attempt.  One is an 8-bit RGBA image and the other 32-bit. This is
required as many formats use a variety of factors to determine which of
`ibuf->rect` or `ibuf->rectfloat` to use for processing.  The templates
are constructed to have alpha transparency as well as values > 1 (or
clamped to 1 for the case of the 8-bit template).

Test flow:
 - Load in an appropriate template image
 - Save it to the desired format with the desired set of options
 - Compare against the reference image

Notes:
 - 98 references are used totaling ~3.6MB
 - 10-12 second test runtime
 - Templates can be reconstructed with the create-templates.blend file

**Loading - bf_imbuf_load.py**
Test flow:
 - Load in each of the reference images
 - Save them back out as .exr
 - Save additional metadata to a secondary file (alpha mode, colorspace etc)
 - Compare the saved out .exr with another set of reference .exrs
 - Compare the saved out file metadata with set of reference metadata

Notes:
 - 98 exr references are used totaling ~10MB
 - 10-12 second test runtime as well

A HTML report is not implemented. The diff output organization is very
similar to the other tests so it should be somewhat easy to do in the
future if we want.

The standard set of environment variables are implemented for both:
BLENDER_TEST_UPDATE, BLENDER_VERBOSE, and BLENDER_TEST_COLOR

Pull Request #104442
This does 2 things to address the ARM64 failures:
- Increases the threshold to be inline with what Cycles uses
- Disables the 2 problematic WebP variations (#105006 will track)
Previously when markers were used, the newly introduced clamping code (#104516) would stop the last channel from being shown.

This patch fixes that by modifying the `v2d->tot.ymin` calculation.

This is a bit counterintuitive since the `v2d->tot` height is calculated in `action_draw.c`. But the advantage of doing it there is that it also works for the channels region.

Pull Request #104892
The active frame must be recovered using `BKE_gpencil_frame_retime_get`
Fixes the `-Winconsistent-missing-override` warning.

In theory the `virtual` is redundant in such case, but this is how
it is done in may other areas of USD code.

Pull Request #104977
This adds proper support for proportional editing for the Curves object.

Co-authored-by: Hans Goudey <h.goudey@me.com>
Pull Request #104620
This adds support for cursor snapping for the new curves object.

It implements a function `transverts_from_curves_positions_create` (to separate the logic from the `Curves` object type). That function is then C wrapped by `ED_curves_transverts_create` and finally used in `ED_transverts_create_from_obedit`.

For example, the pose library add-on can now register an asset shelf
like this:

```
class VIEW3D_AST_pose_library(bpy.types.AssetShelf):
    bl_space_type = "VIEW_3D"

    @classmethod
    def poll(cls, context: Context) -> bool:
        return PoseLibraryPanel.poll(context)
```

Filtering by ID type is not supported yet.

This replaces the hack of registering a header type and the asset shelf
template to draw into that.
Python defined asset shelfs can now define an `asset_poll__()` function
to determine if an asset should be visible or not, based on type
information. This isn't great and can probably be a performance issue in
bigger libraries. A proper solution would be to provide a set of asset
traits to filter by, but this is a bit tricky to implement. This is a
temporary solution so the brush assets project isn't held up by this.

Since we pass around a struct with a string, and multiple string-references
into this string, we have to make sure the memory address of the string buffer
never changes. It would seem that move semantics give this behavior, but it
wouldn't work for short strings. When moving a string, short string
optimization would still require the string to be copied, not moved, causing a
change in the memory address. GCC and Clang use different definitions of "short
string", causing differences in behavior.

Wrap the string in a unique pointer, so the string itself is never moved or
copied.

This is the main change needed to properly implement the asset shelf
main region. Loading, displaying, catalog based and type based filtering
work, custom drag & activation operators don't yet. There is no
paginated scrolling or so yet, but scrolling is vertical now (to be
evaulated).
Was only needed for the old asset shelf main region implementation, and
caused some issues (e.g. too small buttons in status bar).
A bit more space efficient this way, and looks better IMO.
Looks visually more appealing IMHO.
This just makes the UI feel more "stable" since things don't move around
as much anymore.
Set the default size later as part of regular area/region setup, when
DPI is available. Also use `uiStyle` paddings.
This means the view always scrolls by a full row, so that asset previews
are never partially in view.

The paginated scrolling is implemented as a standard View2D feature.
This doesn't work well with zooming yet, and it's tricky to get that to
work right.
We want to support different preview sizes, but the regular region
zooming makes things overly complicated (because of the pagination
and region size snapping mostly). Plus region zooming would usually zoom
text as well. So the preview size is better managed separately.
An offset was applied for transparent regions, so the hotspot is closer
to where the user expects (closer to the visual content). But this only
makes sense if the background is actually transparent or close to at
least.

Feedback is that this looks a bit odd, so rather keep it disabled.
Enables the triangle showing this popup was spawned from a button, uses
more padding (consistent with other popovers) and simplifies code.
View items now always display mouse hover highlight, regardless of the
embossing (might want to give more precise control for this though).

- Made the active state of items visible, so had to add a way to disable
  that.
- Had to make the view item mouse hover highlight work in popups.

AFAIK this doesn't work in master either. Issue is that the operator
relies on context that is only available in the asset shelf region (or
with the mouse over the asset-view template). So the correct region has
to be restored for redo to make this work.

It's now possible to have multiple asset shelf types registered for
different contexts (e.g. sculpt mode vs. texture paint mode vs. pose
mode) and the settings are kept separate. For this a proper concept of
an active asset shelf is introduced. Basically only one asset shelf can
be active at a time, but we keep multiple shelves in storage, so we can
switch between them while all settings are preserved.

If the dynamic_cast isn't meant to fail in some cases, it's probably better to use static_cast to avoid bloating the code with dynamic casting.

Also, class methods should generally be accessed with this->

Not a fan of using static_cast for down casting. It removes type safety for virtually (pun intended) no benefit. Sure it's unlikely to cause issues here, but if it does it's good to get an exception thrown. There's a language feature designed for this, so I rather use it.

Hard to argue with the code guidelines I guess.. Still though, I'd find it clearer to use static_cast, since dynamic_cast gives the impression that the author thinks the cast might fail. But using a reference for the variable negates that impression, making the whole thing confusing. Not a big deal though

I left some notes on the UI in #107881, and on the asset shelf types design in #102879.

The asset shelf implementation itself looks generally ok from a cursory look, but I have not reviewed in the detail.

The purpose of some of the changes to other UI code are unclear to me, and as mentioned before would be good to have as separate PRs so we can understand better what each one does.

No user visible changes expected.

Rather than relying on a C-style function pointer with void pointer
arguments, allow storing a `std::function` object, which can hold
arbitrary data in a type safe way. This can be conveniently used with
lambdas, e.g. from #104831:
```
UI_but_func_set(but, [&shelf_settings](bContext &C) {
  shelf::settings_set_all_catalog_active(shelf_settings);
  shelf::send_redraw_notifier(C);
});
```

This is not used yet, but will be with #104831 merged. Replacing the
existing C-style callback with this can be done separately.
Rather assert that these are initialized as expected.

Previously the calculations to skip building the layout for invisible

While this was initially meant as temporary design, I think it's fine to keep this callback in the API. It adds more flexibility in deciding which assets should be shown in the shelf, so you don't have to rely purely on traits.
Plus it's unclear if we can get the necessary Python API syntax to work before the release (the bl_asset_traits = {{"Object", "Mesh"}, {"Material"}} kind of syntax), so I prefer not relying on that. Should we get it to work, the API can still be changed before the release.

Changed the code now so this is a regular (non-temporary) API callback.

It's unclear to me why this exists instead of using RGN_TYPE_TEMPORARY, or really just a regular popover like we have for e.g. shading and overlay settings in the 3D viewport.

Is it because you want list scrolling to be persistent or something like that?

It's a bit of a strange precedent to have a region specifically for a popover.

This isn't for the popover, it's for the part of the shelf with the tabs, catalog selector, search button etc. This needs a different kind of root layout, and needs to be independently scrollable. That's why it's a separate region.

I used to call it footer when it was still at the bottom, but thought it makes sense to make it position independent. But fair enough if we can avoid confusion this way.

Why does this exist rather than storing everything in ARegion.regiondata? If it's in the regiondata it doesn't need to get added to every space type, and is more self contained and generic.

I'm also not sure how to interpret the term "hook" in this context.

Also find the term hook awkward, hooks are often used in the context of callbacks, it might make sense if the data stored in hooks was a way to hook into data used elsewhere. Where as this looks like a collection. So it could be AssetShelfCollection or AssetShelfStore... or similar (personally prefer "Store" as it's not confused with Object Collections).

Am fine with another name. Just kept it consistent with WorkSpaceHook (not that this is a great name either).

Using regiondata for storage didn't cross my mind, especially since there are two asset shelf regions. But we can still let the main asset shelf region keep the storage. Might simplify things a bit. I will look into it.

Just to note since this isn't obvious: One main reason there's a dedicated AssetShelfHook struct is so that can be reused easily in different editors, e.g. to support asset shelves in the Node Editor, Image Editor (e.g. for brushes), etc.

The meaning of RGN_FLAG_DYNAMIC_SIZE changed a bit. I think it should be renamed to RGN_FLAG_SIZE_LAYOUT_BASED, since it indicates that the size is entirely determined by the layout. The asset shelf region does use a self-controlled size (so it's dynamically sized in a sense), but it's not exactly determined by the layout. It can't use the RGN_FLAG_DYNAMIC_SIZE, which disables region resizing for example.

I think for the logic here it makes sense to not consider the flag. If the region is too small but it has a layout function, execute that so it can change the size. It must still be tagged for redraw anyway.

This is a fairly verbose part of nodes RNA, which defines the base
NodeSocket and NodeSocketInterface types as well as all the subtypes
required for showing correct properties based on socket type.

The RNA for this part of nodes is quite self-contained, so moving it
to a separate files works well and reduces the overall size of
rna_nodetree.cc considerably (~1700 LoC). This does not include any
functional changes.

Moving this to a separate file will make it easier to improve the node

- When switching between viewports the world didn't get updates

Fix the layout of Python API documents of bpy.types.Object.
This symmetrizes selection and vertex positions like any other operator.

Pull Request #105421
Since the operator affects shape keys rather than current mesh
coordinates, this only symmetrizes the selection.

Pull Request #105421
"Flip" option in mirror modifier is only effective for when "Bisect" is
enabled, thus grey out the flip option when it's ineffective to avoid
confusion on the user interface.

Pull Request: #110191
The Realtime GPU compositor crashes when muting output or viewer nodes.

This happens because output nodes are scheduled regardless of their
muted statued, however, the initial reference count takes the muted
status into account, resulting in a use after free error, hence the
crash.

To fix this, we simply do not schedule muted output nodes.
Shader write must be correctly specified where required for
shaders which perform direct image and buffer writing operations.

Pull Request: #110219
Enum popups don't set an active button so accelerator keys didn't work.
Always use accelerator keys in popups because these are typically
launched from non-menus (the redo popup for e.g.) where it doesn't
make sense to pass the event to the parent.

Did a number of changes, including:

  • Did some refactors/cleanups in main which help improving the patch
  • Merged some further changes into main directly.
  • Renamed AssetShelfHook to RegionAssetShelf. We wanted a better name and this is now region-data, so that name made sense (consistent with RegionView3D).

While this was initially meant as temporary design, I think it's fine to
keep this. It adds more flexibility in removing unwanted assets from the
listing. Plus it's unclear if we can get the necessary Python API syntax
to work before the release, so I prefer not relying on that. Should we
get it to work, the API can still be changed before the release.

Looks fine overall to me now, certainly on the level of an experimental feature with the data design in good shape.

Tested it a bit. I'm getting crashes when disabling asset names and when changing the size slider.

Smaller nitpicks (Not necessaryily related to this PR):

  • Toggling the asset shelf has a brief delay and the arrow icons for a closed region glitching (Would be nice if the asset shelf has a sliding animation like the tool/sidebars)
  • It's very awkward when the header and tool settings are at the bottom with the asset shelf
  • Files saved with an old version of this patch will still use an older version of the asset shelf.
  • The region toggle pie menu rearranges awkwardly when the header is at the bottom. I'd say the "Header" options should always be at the top, even if it's bottom aligned in the editor.

Thanks for the feedback @JulienKaspar!

Tested it a bit. I'm getting crashes when disabling asset names and when changing the size slider.

Which commit are you on? Sounds like a crash that I fixed earlier.

Smaller nitpicks (Not necessaryily related to this PR):

  • Toggling the asset shelf has a brief delay and the arrow icons for a closed region glitching (Would be nice if the asset shelf has a sliding animation like the tool/sidebars)

Hmm, I don't really see that delay here. Something we can look at. And I'm also not sure why there's no sliding animation, from the code I think it should do it already.

  • It's very awkward when the header and tool settings are at the bottom with the asset shelf

For the header I find it fine, but indeed with the tool settings at the bottom it's awkward indeed. Do people have both at the bottom even? (Took me a moment to find the Flip to Bottom for it. You have to click close to a button or on one, then go into the Header [?!] submenu, ...)

  • Files saved with an old version of this patch will still use an older version of the asset shelf.

Yeah I used to have a workaround for that in code, but not too nice to merge that into main (trivial to bring back though). If you recreate the 3D View from scratch, that is create an entirely new area that never contained a 3D view before, it should be fine :)


BTW I also did some brief performance tests, to make sure the asset shelf doesn't slow down animation playback especially. Seems all fine, couldn't spot any issues.

Hmm, I don't really see that delay here. Something we can look at. And I'm also not sure why there's no sliding animation, from the code I think it should do it already.

Ah I think it's because of the aggressive region size snapping the asset shelf does. The animation changes the size, but because of the snapping you don't really see the intermediate states. That would also make it seem laggy (although it doesn't feel like that to me, interestingly..). I guess the region snapping should be skipped during the animation.

Latest commit. I built it on my machine.

Do people have both at the bottom even?

There's a preference for it. Even some at the Studio are using it to set all headers to the bottom:
Interface -> Editors -> "Header Position"

But they also tend to not use the tool settings, so maybe it's ok.
