NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)
This project started as a Google Summer of Code 2019 project - "Core Support of
Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR" (see
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/).
Some further information, including ideas for further improvements can be found
in the final GSoC report:

In older versions the ms crt was only a few dlls, in recent versions
this jumped to over 40 leading to quite a bit of clutter in our
bin folder.
This change moves the CRT into its own folder.
For developers that generally already have the runtime globaly
available on their machine, there is a new cmake option
(WITH_WINDOWS_BUNDLE_CRT, default ON) that you can use to toggle
installing the runtime to the blender bin folder, and save some
time during the initial build, this option is off by default for
only the developer profile.

We had a manifest file, but it was seemingly not used, some
settings were done using linker pragmas, some of them visual
studio would set by default for us, others where not set at all.
This patch changes:
- Single manifest file where we can maintain all settings in
a single location, removal of any linker pragmas related to
the manifest.
- Compatibly settings for win vista - win10, without this any
call to any of the GetVersion and related functions (GetVersionEx,
VerifyVersionInfo, IsWindowsXxxx) will by default say we are
on vista and OS specific optimizations in external libraries may
be missed.
-Rather than having it in the .RC file in an #ifdef which may
or may not trigger depending on the build tool used, we tell
cmake to treat it as a source file and it will do the right
thing for both the ninja and visual studio generators.

Changes to cursors that can be used for painting and sculpting.

* Add more standard cursor types, that platforms can optionally support.
* Remove a few unused cursor types that were not properly supported and
would show the wrong cursor when used.
* Add native cursor files for Windows. These scale well with DPI and have
anti-aliasing. Designed by Duarte Farrajota Ramos.

Previously this was done in the deps builder due to the fact we needed
both 32 and 64 bit versions of this dll and CMAKE does not support that
in a single build folder. Now that 32 bit support has been dropped, this
can be safely moved into the codebase.

The PYTHONPATH environment variable sometimes causes issues,
clearing it in the helper batch files is easier than talking
every user individually though the process of removing it
to see if it resolves the issue they are having.

Unify all desktop icons on Mac, Win and Linux to fit with the correct, updated brand guidelines here: https://www.blender.org/about/logo/
This is using :
PANTONE 716 C = #EA7600 (RGB 234 118 0)
PANTONE 647 C = #236192 (RGB 35 97 146)
Thanks to Yevgeny Makarov (jenkm) for compiling this icon update.

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.

Note these are intended for platform maintainers, we do not intend to
support users making their own builds with these. For that precompiled
libraries from lib/ should be used.

when installing to a folder that already existed. Now the uninstaller
will remove only the files it has installed, and leave any other files
in the installation directory intact.

* Windows installer not working for non-admin users and multiple users
* Addon scripts not installing next to user configuration
* Portable install not being taken into account in all places
The main problem was the windows installer was installing system scripts in
AppData next to the user configuration directory, which is not shared between
users. Now these are installed in ProgramFiles, and only addon scripts added
by the users go to AppData.
On all platforms, addon scripts were sometimes getting installed between
system scripts, because the scripts folder in the executable directory was
given precedence over the user configuration folder, that is no longer done
now. So addons now behave like user configuration, they are preserved even
if you download a newer build of the same blender version.
If you have an installation of 2.57 on windows, the addon install location
will not change until we do the version bump to 2.58, to avoid conflicts with
the existing the installed 2.57 version.
The old behavior of giving precedence to the local folder was done to support
portable install, where all configuration is written to the local folder. This
is now implemented differently: if and only if a "config" folder exists in the
local folder, portable install will be assumed, and files will only be written
to that local folder.

Fix [#25473] 64bit Windows installer for version 2.56 is not working
patch submitted by Caleb (Dobz)
The thumbnail patch adds a thumb handler DLL that adds .blend thumbnail support in Windows Explorer. A -r option is added to do registration in background. The patch also improves icon building and metadata for blender.exe.
Caleb fixes and cleans up our installer to an acceptable state. The patch uses the new -r option to do the .blend extension and thumbnailer registration.
Thanks to both Caleb and Tom for their efforts!

because right now the installer
runs in user mode, not elevated to admin. Otherwise users can't install to the default which used to
be Program Files, which causes more problems than necessary. Although unconventional location, probably
currently a better solution.
Network admins etc. can override install location on command-line. NSIS docs tell how.

Instead of running vcredist, which can fail when installing as normal user, have the DLLs
like our zip distribution bundled already inside install dir.
