This makes instance handling more consistent with all the other geometry
component types. For example, `MeshComponent` contains a `Mesh *` and
now `InstancesComponent` has a `Instances *`.

All callers passed `false` for this parameter, making it more confusing
than useful. If this functionality is needed again in the future, a separate

Point clouds always use geometry_set_eval, and so do volumes.
|

The call to `get_component_for_write` would sometimes copy the mesh
even when the mesh is replaced with itself. The `replace_mesh` method
handles that case already, so just use that instead.
|

When GPU subdivision is enabled the mesh objects remain unsubdivided on
the CPU side, and subdivision should be requested somewhat manually (via
`BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh`).
When referencing an object, the Object Info node calls
`bke::object_get_evaluated_geometry_set` which first checks if a Geometry
Set is present on the object (unless we have a mesh in edit mode). If so
it will return it, if not, the object type is discriminated, which will
return a properly subdivided mesh object via `add_final_mesh_as_geometry_component`.
The unsubdivided mesh is returned because apparently the check on the
Geometry Set always succeeds (as it is always set in `mesh_build_data`).
However, the mesh inside this Geometry Set is not subdivided.
This adds a check for a MeshComponent in this Geometry Set, and if one
exists, calls `add_final_mesh_as_geometry_component` which will ensure
that the mesh is subdivided on the CPU side as well.

This case wasn't handled in rBf5ce243a56a22d718 correctly.
Now `object_get_evaluated_geometry_set` just returns a geometry
set that contains the collection instance for collection instance objects.

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.

Goals of this refactor:
* Simplify creating virtual arrays.
* Simplify passing virtual arrays around.
* Simplify converting between typed and generic virtual arrays.
* Reduce memory allocations.
As a quick reminder, a virtual arrays is a data structure that behaves like an
array (i.e. it can be accessed using an index). However, it may not actually
be stored as array internally. The two most important implementations
of virtual arrays are those that correspond to an actual plain array and those
that have the same value for every index. However, many more
implementations exist for various reasons (interfacing with legacy attributes,
unified iterator over all points in multiple splines, ...).
With this refactor the core types (`VArray`, `GVArray`, `VMutableArray` and
`GVMutableArray`) can be used like "normal values". They typically live
on the stack. Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes
passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also
much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are
reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types.
Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden
to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size
and has no virtual methods. Instead it contains a `VArrayImpl` that is
similar to the old `VArray`. `VArrayImpl` should rarely ever be used directly,
unless a new virtual array implementation is added.
To support the small object optimization for many `VArrayImpl` classes,
a new `blender::Any` type is added. It is similar to `std::any` with two
additional features. It has an adjustable inline buffer size and alignment.
The inline buffer size of `std::any` can't be relied on and is usually too
small for our use case here. Furthermore, `blender::Any` can store
additional user-defined type information without increasing the
stack size.

The point domain attributes (stored on splines) are sorted so they
have a consistent order on all splines after the join. However, spline
domain attributes were included in the new order, which didn't work
because the length of the attribute lists didn't match. The simple fix
is to only include point domain attributes in the new order vector.
|
|
This properly checks the order of point domain attributes on each
spline, and avoids the map, which makes the code easier to understand.
The assert is also added to realizing instances and the join node.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13071

Currently the curve to mesh node relies on the order of attributes being
the same on every spline. This is a worthwhile assumption, because it
will allow removing the attribute name storage duplication on every
spline in the future.
However, the join geometry node broke this order, since it just created
new attributes without any regard to the order. To fix this, I added a
"reorder" step after all the merged attributes have been created, the
types have been joined, etc. It should be possible to change this code
so that the attributes are added with the right order in the first
place, but I would like to do that after refactoring spline attribute
storage, and not for 3.0.

This commit removes the implicit conversion from points to a mesh
that used to happen before the next modifier. It also removes the
implicit realizing of instances that happened before another modifier.
Now we have specific nodes for both of these operations, the
implicit conversions make less sense, and implicit instance
realizing has already been removed in other nodes.
This adds another geometry nodes modifier before modifiers that would
have realized instances implicitly before. Currently adding another
data-block during versioning after linking means that an assert needs
to be changed. That should be made unnecessary by T92333.

The object info node output an instance as a performance optimization.
Before that optimization was (almost) invisible to the user, but now
that we aren't automatically realizing instances, it isn't intuitive
for a single object to become an instance.
I refactored the transform node so its ability to translate/transform
an entire geometry set was more usable from elsewhere and exposed the
function to get a geometry set from an object.

This commit exposes left and right bezier handles as an attribute.
Interaction basically works like edit mode. If you move an aligned
handle, it also moves the opposite handle of the control point.
The difference is that you can't edit "Auto" or "Vector" handles,
you have to first use the "Set Handle Type" node. That gives the handle
types a bit more meaning in the node tree-- changing them in edit mod
is more like a "UI override".
The attributes are named `handle_start` and `handle_end`,
which is the same name used in the curve RNA API.
A new virtual array implementation is added which handles the case of
splines that don't have these attributes, and it also calls two new
functions on `BezierSpline` to set the handle position accounting
for aligned handles.
The virtual arrays and attribute providers will be refactored
(probably templated) in the future, as a next step after the last
built-in curve attribute provider has landed.

With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

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.

Previously, the Point Instance node in geometry nodes could only instance
existing objects or collections. The reason was that large parts of Blender
worked under the assumption that objects are the main unit of instancing.
Now we also want to instance geometry within an object, so a slightly larger
refactor was necessary.
This should not affect files that do not use the new kind of instances.
The main change is a redefinition of what "instanced data" is. Now, an
instances is a cow-object + object-data (the geometry). This can be nicely
seen in `struct DupliObject`. This allows the same object to generate
multiple geometries of different types which can be instanced individually.
A nice side effect of this refactor is that having multiple geometry components
is not a special case in the depsgraph object iterator anymore, because those
components are integrated with the `DupliObject` system.
Unfortunately, different systems that work with instances in Blender (e.g.
render engines and exporters) often work under the assumption that objects are
the main unit of instancing. So those have to be updated as well to be able to
handle the new instances. This patch updates Cycles, EEVEE and other viewport
engines. Exporters have not been updated yet. Some minimal (not master-ready)
changes to update the obj and alembic exporters can be found in P2336 and P2335.
Different file formats may want to handle these new instances in different ways.
For users, the only thing that changed is that the Point Instance node now
has a geometry mode.
This also fixes T88454.

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

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.

* Reduce code duplication.
* Give methods more standardized names (e.g. `move_to_initialized` -> `move_assign`).
* Support wrapping arbitrary C++ types, even those that e.g. are not copyable.

This problem has surprisingly been there for quite a few months.
For point clouds all attributes were handled the same, even "position",
which should be transformed when combining source points into the
destination.
|

Previously the code assumed that curve instances had no attributes.
This is true when the data came from curve objects, which don't support
attributes currently, but it isn't necessarily true when retrieving curves
from evaluated geometry sets.

Implementation of T86970. This node takes a geometry input with
multiple components and outputs them by component type. Meshes,
Curves, and Point Clouds support combining multiple input instances,
while volumes will only output the first volume component input until
suitable instance realization for multiple volumes is finished.
When direct geometry instancing is implemented it will be possible to
avoid realizing instances in this node.

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.

Materials are now kept intact when using the Join Geometry node
or when realizing instaces.
|
|
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.
|
|
The main goal of this refactor is to not store Object/Collection
pointers for every individual instance. Instead instances now
store a handle for the referenced data. The actual Object/Collection
pointers are stored in a new `InstanceReference` class.
This refactor also allows for some better optimizations further down
the line, because one does not have to search through all instances
anymore to find what data is instanced.
Furthermore, this refactor makes it easier to support instancing
`GeometrySet` or any other data that has to be owned by the
`InstancesComponent`.

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.

A virtual array is a data structure that is similar to a normal array
in that its elements can be accessed by an index. However, a virtual
array does not have to be a contiguous array internally. Instead, its
elements can be layed out arbitrarily while element access happens
through a virtual function call. However, the virtual array data
structures are designed so that the virtual function call can be avoided
in cases where it could become a bottleneck.
Most commonly, a virtual array is backed by an actual array/span or
is a single value internally, that is the same for every index.
Besides those, there are many more specialized virtual arrays like the
ones that provides vertex positions based on the `MVert` struct or
vertex group weights.
Not all attributes used by geometry nodes are stored in simple contiguous
arrays. To provide uniform access to all kinds of attributes, the attribute
API has to provide virtual array functionality that hides the implementation
details of attributes.
Before this refactor, the attribute API provided its own virtual array
implementation as part of the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types.
That resulted in unnecessary code duplication with the virtual array system.
Even worse, it bound many algorithms used by geometry nodes to the specifics
of the attribute API, even though they could also use different data sources
(such as data from sockets, default values, later results of expressions, ...).
This refactor removes the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types and
replaces them with `GVArray` and `GVMutableArray` respectively. The `GV`
stands for "generic virtual". The "generic" means that the data type contained
in those virtual arrays is only known at run-time. There are the corresponding
statically typed types `VArray<T>` and `VMutableArray<T>` as well.
No regressions are expected from this refactor. It does come with one
improvement for users. The attribute API can convert the data type
on write now. This is especially useful when writing to builtin attributes
like `material_index` with e.g. the Attribute Math node (which usually
just writes to float attributes, while `material_index` is an integer attribute).

The issue is that for historic reasons, `geometry_set_eval` does not contain
the mesh component when the object is in edit mode.

Previously only attributes of "real" geometry were displayed in
attribute search. This commit adds code to look through attributes
on instances and add those to the search drop-down too.
This required implementing the same sort of recursive traversal as
the realize instances code. The situation is a bit different though,
this can return early and doesn't need to keep track of transforms.
I added a limit so that it doesn't look through the attributes of
too many instanced geometry sets. I think this is important, since
this isn't a trivial operation and it could potentially happen for
every node in a large node tree. Currently the limit is set at 8
geometry sets, which I expect will be enough, since the set of
attributes is mostly not very unique anyway.
