The conversion from Curves to CurveEval used an incorrect type
for one of the builtin attributes. Also, an incorrect default was used
for reading the nurbs_weight attribute.
|
|
Currently, there are two attribute API. The first, defined in `BKE_attribute.h` is
accessible from RNA and C code. The second is implemented with `GeometryComponent`
and is only accessible in C++ code. The second is widely used, but only being
accessible through the `GeometrySet` API makes it awkward to use, and even impossible
for types that don't correspond directly to a geometry component like `CurvesGeometry`.
This patch adds a new attribute API, designed to replace the `GeometryComponent`
attribute API now, and to eventually replace or be the basis of the other one.
The basic idea is that there is an `AttributeAccessor` class that allows code to
interact with a set of attributes owned by some geometry. The accessor itself has
no ownership. `AttributeAccessor` is a simple type that can be passed around by
value. That makes it easy to return it from functions and to store it in containers.
For const-correctness, there is also a `MutableAttributeAccessor` that allows
changing individual and can add or remove attributes.
Currently, `AttributeAccessor` is composed of two pointers. The first is a pointer
to the owner of the attribute data. The second is a pointer to a struct with
function pointers, that is similar to a virtual function table. The functions
know how to access attributes on the owner.
The actual attribute access for geometries is still implemented with the `AttributeProvider`
pattern, which makes it easy to support different sources of attributes on a
geometry and simplifies dealing with built-in attributes.
There are different ways to get an attribute accessor for a geometry:
* `GeometryComponent.attributes()`
* `CurvesGeometry.attributes()`
* `bke::mesh_attributes(const Mesh &)`
* `bke::pointcloud_attributes(const PointCloud &)`
All of these also have a `_for_write` variant that returns a `MutabelAttributeAccessor`.

* Make the class names more consistent.
* Implement missing move-constructors and assignment-operators.

Replace tot/amount & size with num, in keeping with T85728.

Remembering the number of curves of every type makes it fast to know
whether processing specific to a single curve type has to be done.
This information was accessed in quite a few places, so this should be
an overall reduction in overhead for the new curves type.
The cache is computed eagerly, in other words every time after changing
the curve types. In order to reduce verbosity I added helper functions
for some common ways to set the types.

* Curves objects now support the geometry nodes modifier.
* It's possible to use the curves object with the Object Info node.
* The spreadsheet shows the curve data.
The main thing holding this back currently is that the drawing code
for the curves object is very incomplete. E.g. it resamples the curves
always in the end, which is not expected for curves in general.

An 8 bit integer should be enough for now. We can change this if we ever
want to allow increasing the order past 256.
|

Port the "Normal" and "Curve Tangent" nodes to the new curves data-block
to avoid the conversion to `CurveEval`. This should make them faster by
avoiding all that copying, but otherwise nothing else has changed.
This also includes a fix to move the normal mode as a built-in curve
attribute when converting to and from `CurveEval`. The attribute is
needed because the option is used implicitly in many nodes currently.

Don't include the tangent mode for now, since that
was never implemented for geometry nodes curves.

Set the curve resolution to Bezier and Nurbs curves when converting

Add "for_write" on function names that retrieve mutable data arrays.
Though this makes function names longer, it's likely worth it because
it allows more easily using the const functions in a non-const context,
and reduces cases of mistakenly retrieving with edit access.
In the long term, this situation might change more if we implement
attributes storage that is accessible directly on `CurvesGeometry`
without duplicating the attribute API on geometry components,
which is currently the rough plan.

Rename "size" variables and functions to use "num" instead,
based on T85728 (though this doesn't apply to simple C++
containers, it applies here). Rename "range" to "points" in
some functions, so be more specific.

Move the definition of the enum to `Curves` DNA, since the values
will be saved in files, and ongoing development needs to use this.

This patch enables all 8 combinations of Nurbs modes: Cyclic,
Bezier and Endpoint. Also removes restriction on Bezier Nurbs order.
The most significant changes are mode combinations bringing new
meaning. In D13891 is a scheme showing NURBS with same control
points in a modes, and also further description of each possible case.

When converting from the new type to the old, the curve domain
attributes weren't properly resized, so their data was not properly
allocated.
|
|
Currently the code expects the radius attribuet to always exist on the
input Curves. This won't be true in the future though, so the correct
default value of one should be used when creating the data on CurveEval,
where the data is not optional.

This commit changes `CurveComponent` to store the new curve
type by adding conversions to and from `CurveEval` in most nodes.
This will temporarily make performance of curves in geometry nodes
much worse, but as functionality is implemented for the new type
and it is used in more places, performance will become better than
before.
We still use `CurveEval` for drawing curves, because the new `Curves`
data-block has no evaluated points yet. So the `Curve` ID is still
generated for rendering in the same way as before. It's also still
needed for drawing curve object edit mode overlays.
The old curve component isn't removed yet, because it is still used
to implement the conversions to and from `CurveEval`.
A few more attributes are added to make this possible:
- `nurbs_weight`: The weight for each control point on NURBS curves.
- `nurbs_order`: The order of the NURBS curve
- `knots_mode`: Necessary for conversion, not defined yet.
- `handle_type_{left/right}`: An 8 bit integer attribute.

Though this is less aesthetically pleasing, it makes the transition to the
new curves type (T95941) a bit simpler, and it has to be done anyway.
|
|
This will make the transition to the new curves data structure
a bit simple, since the handle types can be copied directly between
the two. The change to CurveEval is simple because it is runtime-only.

`GeometrySet::compute_boundbox_without_instances` may not initialize min
max in some cases such as meshes without vertices.
This can result in a Bounding Box with impossible dimensions
(min=FLT_MAX, max=-FLT_MAX).
So repeat the same solution seen in `BKE_object_boundbox_calc_from_mesh`
and set boundbox values to zero.

This patch refactors the instance-realization code and adds new functionality.
* Named and anonymous attributes are propagated from instances to the
realized geometry. If the same attribute exists on the geometry and on an
instance, the attribute on the geometry has precedence.
* The id attribute has special handling to avoid creating the same id on many
output points. This is necessary to make e.g. the Random Value node work
as expected afterwards.
Realizing instance attributes has an effect on existing files, especially due to the
id attribute. To avoid breaking existing files, the Realize Instances node now has
a legacy option that is enabled for all already existing Realize Instances nodes.
Removing this legacy behavior does affect some existing files (although not many).
We can decide whether it's worth to remove the old behavior as a separate step.
This refactor also improves performance when realizing instances. That is mainly
due to multi-threading. See D13446 to get the file used for benchmarking. The
curve code is not as optimized as it could be yet. That's mainly because the storage
for these attributes might change soonish and it wasn't worth optimizing for the
current storage format right now.

When Constructing bezier splines from dna, the positions of the
left/right handles were set directly in the internal vectors, by
requesting a reference to them. The problem is that
BezierSpline::handle_positions_left() calls ensure_auto_handles()
before returning the reference. That function does some calculations on
uninitialized memory if the positions array is not yet filled.

spline, and avoids the map, which makes the code easier to understand.

This is a better and more general fix for T92511 and T92508 than
the ones that I committed before.
Previously, we tagged caches dirty when first accessing attributes.
This led to incorrect caches when under some circumstances. Now
cache invalidation is part of `OutputAttribute.save()`.
A nice side benefit of this change is that it may make things more
efficient in some cases, because we don't invalidate caches when
they don't have to be invalidated.

This node allows sampling positions, tangents, and normals at any
arbitrary point along a curve. The curve can include multiple splines,
all are taken into account. The node does not yet support transferring
generic attributes like radius, because some more general tooling will
make that much more feasible and useful in different scenarios.
This is a field node, so it is evaluated in the context of a data-flow
node like "Set Position". One nice thing about that is it can easily
be used to move an entire geometry like the follow path constraint.
The point along the curve is chosen either with a factor of the total
length of the curve, or a length into the curve, the same choice used
in the curve trim node.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

The need for this has come up a few times.

Sometimes the current spline list isn't part of the original curve, like
when using the deformed control points, etc. This will be helpful in
the curve modifier stack.
|
|
A different data structure / implementation is used for curves in the
node tree currently. Converting from the DNA `Curve` structure to this
wasn't slow, but it's nice to decrease overhead. In a test of 14000
splines with 128000 points, this halves the runtime from about 5ms
to about 2.5ms.
|
|
This helps when adding splines to a new curve in parallel.

With this patch you will be able to add and remove attributes from curve
data inside of geometry nodes. The following is currently implemented:
* Adding attributes with any data type to splines or spline points.
* Support for working with multiple splines at the same time.
* Interaction with the three builtin point attributes.
* Resampling attributes in the resample node.
The following is not implemented in this patch:
* Joining attributes when joining splines with the join geometry node.
* Domain interpolation between spline and point domains.
* More efficient ways to call attribute operations once per spline.

There is no need for a special "copy" method with a copy constructor,
which will be necessary to explicitly copy attributes anyway.
|
|
|
|
Since spline data is stored separately for each spline, the data often
needs to be flattened into a separate array. It's helpful to have the
necessarily-sequential part of that split off into a separate method.
I've found myself using functions like these in quite a few places.
|
|
Not allowing external direct access to the vector of splines in the
curve will help for things like reallocating custom data when a spline
is added or removed.

This patch adds initial curve support to geometry nodes. Currently
there is only one node available, the "Curve to Mesh" node, T87428.
However, the aim of the changes here is larger than just supporting
curve data in nodes-- it also uses the opportunity to add better spline
data structures, intended to replace the existing curve evaluation code.
The curve code in Blender is quite old, and it's generally regarded as
some of the messiest, hardest-to-understand code as well. The classes
in `BKE_spline.hh` aim to be faster, more extensible, and much more
easily understandable. Further explanation can be found in comments in
that file.
Initial builtin spline attributes are supported-- reading and writing
from the `cyclic` and `resolution` attributes works with any of the
attribute nodes. Also, only Z-up normal calculation is implemented
at the moment, and tilts do not apply yet.
**Limitations**
- For now, you must bring curves into the node tree with an "Object
Info" node. Changes to the curve modifier stack will come later.
- Converting to a mesh is necessary to visualize the curve data.
