OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

Currently only affects EVALUATION debug messages, rest are to be
supported on per-depsgraph level.
|
|
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

Use single function to evaluate all the collections for the given view layer.
This way we avoid need to get scene ID sub-data. Similar to pchan index, this
allows us to avoid build-time scene expansion, which also simplifies update of
the scene datablock.
Well, sort of. There is still work to be done to get rid of build-time scene
datablock expansion, which includes:
- Need to pass view layer by index.
Annoying part would be to get actual view layer for that index. In practice
doing list lookup might not be such a bad idea, since such lookup will not
happen very often, and it is unlikely to have more than handful of view
layer anyway.
Other idea could be to use view layer from evaluation context.
Or maybe from depsgraph, which is supposed to be in the context. Can have
some assert statements to make sure everything is good.
- Need to get id of base binding for flags flush.
We can replace that with index-based lookup from an array created by view
layer evaluation.

- put render iterator in own scope
(would shadow it's own variable if used multiple times).
- enforce semicolon at end of iterator macros.
- no need to typedef one-off macro structs.

So they are:
House
-> House 1
-> House 2
-> ...
The exception is when the parent collection is the master collection. In this case we get:
Master Collection
-> Collection 1
-> Collection 2
-> ...

It is still based on generic collection evaluation, but the idea is to avoid
having view_layer pointer passed from group to it's evaluation function.
This is essential for copy-on-write, where we need to pass view_layer pointer
from a copied datablock, but that copy is not yet available at construction
time. Also, this is NOT the case where we want to expand datablock at a
construction time, just to keep our life easier.
|
|
View Layer was not duplicated between destination and source.
This would lead to a crash if you duplicated the group and assigned
the new group to any object.

Thanks for Sergey Sharybin for spotting this.

Since we are ditching layers from Blender (2.8) we need a replacement to
control groups visibility. This commit introduces collections as the building
blocks for groups, allowing users to control visibility as well as overrides
for groups.
Features
========
* Groups now have collections
This way you can change the visibility of a collection inside a group, and add
overrides which are part of the group and are prioritized over other overrides.
* Outliner
Groups can inspect their collections, change visibility, and add/remove members.
To change an override of a group collection, you need to select an instance of
the group, and then you can choose "group" in the collection properties editor
to edit this group active collection instead of the view layer one.
* Dupli groups overrides
We can now have multiple instances of the same group with an original "override"
and different overrides depending on the collection the instanced object is part
of.
Technical
=========
* Layers
We use the same api for groups and scene as much as possible.

This wouldn't be less precise than object level flag in theory, and we need to
move away from such a duplicating flags.

While getting rid of Scene->base we got the following fixes:
* Fix "Convert To" operator
* Fix "NLA allowing to selected objects that are not selectable
* Fix scene.objects (readonly, no option to link/unlink)
Note: Collada needs to use the context SceneLayer for adding objects
however I added a placeholder, so Collada maintainers can fix this
properly.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.

This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from
full copy in Main database, to "lighter" ones (out of Main, inside an
already allocated datablock, etc.).
This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by
per-ID-type custom code to generic ID handling code in BKE_library.
Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had
all over the codebase in the past.
It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'
unusual things with ID copying and/or allocation!
As a final note, while rather noisy, this commit will hopefully not
break too much existing branches, old 'API' has been kept for the main
part, as a wrapper around new code. Cleaning it up will happen later.

Noisy change, but safe, and better do it sooner than later if we are to
rework copying code. Also, previous commit shows this *is* useful to
catch some mistakes.

Was just keeping the default '1' user from `BKE_libblock_alloc()`,
instead of using correct way to handle extra virtual user needed when we
want to keep unused datablocks around...

* https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Source/DataDesignRevised
User Commit Log
---------------
* New Layer and Collection system to replace render layers and viewport layers.
* A layer is a set of collections of objects (and their drawing options) required for specific tasks.
* A collection is a set of objects, equivalent of the old layers in Blender. A collection can be shared across multiple layers.
* All Scenes have a master collection that all other collections are children of.
* New collection "context" tab (in Properties Editor)
* New temporary viewport "collections" panel to control per-collection
visibility
Missing User Features
---------------------
* Collection "Filter"
Option to add objects based on their names
* Collection Manager operators
The existing buttons are placeholders
* Collection Manager drawing
The editor main region is empty
* Collection Override
* Per-Collection engine settings
This will come as a separate commit, as part of the clay-engine branch
Dev Commit Log
--------------
* New DNA file (DNA_layer_types.h) with the new structs
We are replacing Base by a new extended Base while keeping it backward
compatible with some legacy settings (i.e., lay, flag_legacy).
Renamed all Base to BaseLegacy to make it clear the areas of code that
still need to be converted
Note: manual changes were required on - deg_builder_nodes.h, rna_object.c, KX_Light.cpp
* Unittesting for main syncronization requirements
- read, write, add/copy/remove objects, copy scene, collection
link/unlinking, context)
* New Editor: Collection Manager
Based on patch by Julian Eisel
This is extracted from the layer-manager branch. With the following changes:
- Renamed references of layer manager to collections manager
- I doesn't include the editors/space_collections/ draw and util files
- The drawing code itself will be implemented separately by Julian
* Base / Object:
A little note about them. Original Blender code would try to keep them
in sync through the code, juggling flags back and forth. This will now
be handled by Depsgraph, keeping Object and Bases more separated
throughout the non-rendering code.
Scene.base is being cleared in doversion, and the old viewport drawing
code was poorly converted to use the new bases while the new viewport
code doesn't get merged and replace the old one.

This reverts commit 5aa19be91263a249ffae75573e3b32f24269d890 and b4a721af694817fa921b119df83d33ede7d7fed0.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.

Adding make_local for vfont/gpencil/group/freestyle linestyle/mask/scene/sound/text.
Note that there are still some lose ends here, since some type are not handled by id_copy
(Scene, Sound and VFont), which means in case a datablock of that type is used both
directly and indirectly, localization will fail.
Scene copying might be doable though (maybe with a simple new 'full shalow' mode to existing BKE_scene_copy?),
not sure about sounds and vfonts... Situations where this becomes an issue should be very rare corner cases anyway.

Idea looked good, but we have too much custom situations here (some half-fake-sub-ID
being copied with their 'owner', animdata, etc.), let's let datablock copy functions
handle that themselves.
Also allows to safely call BKE_id_expand_local from all copy functions now (only when
copying linked data).
|
|
Also allows us to get rid of a few _copy_ex() versions...
|
|
Idea is to replace hard-to-track (id->lib != NULL) 'is linked datablock' check everywhere in Blender
by a macro doing the same thing. This will allow to easily spot those checks in future, and more importantly,
to easily change it (see work done in asset-engine branch).
Note: did not touch to readfile.c, since there most of the time 'id->lib' check actually concerns the pointer,
and not a check whether ID is linked or not. Will have a closer look at it later.

handling).
This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

BKE_main_id_tag_/BKE_main_id_flag_ were horrible naming now that we split those
into flags (for presistent one) and tags (for runtime ones).
Got rid of previous 'tag_' functions behavior (those who were dedicated shortcuts
to set/clear LIB_TAG_DOIT), so now '_tag_' functions affect tags, and '_flag_'
functions affect flags.
|
|
This is purely internal sanitizing/cleanup, no change in behavior is expected at all.
This change was also needed because we were getting short on ID flags, and
future enhancement of 'user_one' ID behavior requires two new ones.
id->flag remains for persistent data (fakeuser only, so far!), this also allows us
100% backward & forward compatibility.
New id->tag is used for most flags. Though written in .blend files, its content
is cleared at read time.
Note that .blend file version was bumped, so that we can clear runtimeflags from
old .blends, important in case we add new persistent flags in future.
Also, behavior of tags (either status ones, or whether they need to be cleared before/after use)
has been added as comments to their declaration.

As we can see in (original) read code, ob pointer in groupobject is actually a 'USER_ONE' case.
This was not done in 'add object to group' code, probably because we can assume objects always
have at least one user in that case? Made it explicit now. Also fixed foreach_ID_link looper.
In general we have waaayyyyyy too much 'own handling' of ID->us count in code currently,
will clean up that...
