The final normalization step of sculpt normal calculation iterates over
all unique vertices in each node and marks them as done. However,
storing the done mask in a bitmap meant that multiple threads could
write to a single byte at the same time, because the bits for separate
threads could be stored in the same byte. This is not threadsafe
Fixing this issue seems to improve performance as well. First I tested
just clearing the entire bitmap after the normal calculation. Then I
tested using an array of booleans instead, which turned out to be
slightly better, and simplifies code a bit.
I tested on a Ryzen 3800x, on an 8 million polygon subdivided
Suzanne by using the grab brush with a radius large enough to
affect most of the mesh.

The PBVH draw cache wasn't being invalidated in
all cases. It is now invalidated whenever a PBVH
node's draw buffers are freed.
|
|
The "PROP" in the name reflects its generic status, and removing
"LOOP" makes sense because it is no longer associated with just
mesh face corners. In general the goal is to remove extra semantic
meaning from the custom data types.

This patch contains an initial pixel extractor for PBVH and an initial paint brush implementation.
PBVH is an accelleration structure blender uses internally to speed up 3d painting operations.
At this moment it is extensively used by sculpt, vertex painting and weight painting.
For the 3d texturing brush we will be using the PBVH for texture painting.
Currently PBVH is organized to work on geometry (vertices, polygons and triangles).
For texture painting this should be extended it to use pixels.

# Scope
This patch only contains an extending uv seams to fix uv seams. This is not actually we want, but was easy to add
to make the brush usable.
Pixels are places in the PBVH_Leaf nodes. We want to introduce a special node for pixels, but that will be done
in a separate patch to keep the code review small. This reduces the painting performance when using
low and medium poly assets.
In workbench textures aren't forced to be shown. For now use Material/Rendered view.
# Rasterization process
The rasterization process will generate the pixel information for a leaf node. In the future those
leaf nodes will be split up into multiple leaf nodes to increase the performance when there
isn't enough geometry. For this patch this was left out of scope.
In order to do so every polygon should be uniquely assigned to a leaf node.
For each leaf node
for each polygon
If polygon not assigned
assign polygon to node.
Polygons are to complicated to be used directly we have to split the polygons into triangles.
For each leaf node
for each polygon
extract triangles from polygon.
The list of triangles can be stored inside the leaf node. The list of polygons aren't needed anymore.
Each triangle has:
poly_index.
vert_indices
delta barycentric coordinate between x steps.
Each triangle is rasterized in rows. Sequential pixels (in uv space) are stored in a single structure.
image position
barycentric coordinate of the first pixel
number of pixels
triangle index inside the leaf node.
During the performed experiments we used a fairly simple rasterization process by
finding the UV bounds of an triangle and calculate the barycentric coordinates per
pixel inside the bounds. Even for complex models and huge images this process is
normally finished within 0.5 second. It could be that we want to change this algorithm
to reduce hickups when nodes are initialized during a stroke.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

This is part of the project of converting `MVert` into `float3`.
(more details in T93602), The pbvh update flag is removed and
replaced with a bitmap stored in the PBVH structure. This
patch is similar to D13878. This is mainly setup for an eventual
performance improvement by removing the extra data from
mesh vertices, but if it's consistent with testing in the other patch
doing the same thing for another "temp tag", then it may actually
increase the speed of sculpt code slightly, since less memory needs
to be loaded when checking/changing the flags.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

This was caused when the BKE_pbvh_draw_cb function was used with
update_only_visible set to false. In that case, all nodes with the flag
were updating, but the update flag was only cleared for visible nodes.
This was causing constant updates per redraw in no visible nodes until
they enter the view frustum and their flag was cleared.
In order to fix this and prevent it from happening again:
- Updating the buffers, flushing the updates and clearing the flags are
now part of the same function. It does not make sense to do these in
separate places.
- The BKE_pbvh_draw_cb function was refactored so the
pbvh_update_draw_buffers is only called once. It should now be easier to
understand what the function does when it is used to update only visible
nodes or all nodes.

This adds the vertex and face count info to the scene stats in sculpt
mode. These stats count the active vertices and faces in the
sculptsession for the active object. This has the following advantages:
- It is possible to know how many vertices the sculptsession has active
comparted to the vertex count of the entire scene from sculpt mode
- When sculpting with constructive modifiers, these stats will report the
number of vertices that you can actually sculpt with, instead of the
vertex count of the modified mesh and the entire scene.

Sculpt Vertex Colors is a painting system that runs inside sculpt mode, reusing all its tools and optimizations. This provides much better performance, easier to maintain code and more advanced features (new brush engine, filters, symmetry options, masks and face sets compatibility...). This is also the initial step for future features like vertex painting in Multires and brushes that can sculpt and paint at the same time.
This commit includes:
- SCULPT_UNDO_COLOR for undo support in sculpt mode
- SCULPT_UPDATE_COLOR and PBVH flags and rendering
- Sculpt Color API functions
- Sculpt capability for sculpt tools (only enabled in the Paint Brush for now)
- Rendering support in workbench (default to Sculpt Vertex Colors except in Vertex Paint)
- Conversion operator between MPropCol (Sculpt Vertex Colors) and MLoopCol (Vertex Paint)
- Remesher reprojection in the Voxel Remehser
- Paint Brush and Smear Brush with color smoothing in alt-smooth mode
- Parameters for the new brush engine (density, opacity, flow, wet paint mixing, tip scale) implemented in Sculpt Vertex Colors
- Color Filter
- Color picker (uses S shortcut, replaces smooth)

When sculpting the GPU batches are constructed with only the required data
for a single viewport. When that viewport changes shading or coloring mode (object
to vertex) batches might not hold all the needed information.
There is also a case when you have two 3d viewport one in object color
mode and the other in vertex color mode that the GPU batches were
updated without any vertex colors.
In order to fix these category of issues this patch would always
construct the full GPU batches for sculpting.

The Layer brush was in Blender before 2.81, when the sculpt API was
introduced. It had a huge amount of bugs and glitches which made it
almost unusable for anything but the most trivial cases. Also, it needed
some hacks in the code just to support the persistent base.
The brush was completely rewritten using the Sculpt API. It fulfills the
same use case as the old one, but it has:
- All previous artifacts fixed
- Simpler code
- Persistent base now works with multires thanks to the sculpt API
- Small cursor widget to preview the layer height
- More controllable and smoother strength and deformation
- More correct masking support
- More predictable invert support. When using persistent base, the brush invert mode resets to layer height 0, instead of jumping from +1 to -1. The brush can still be inverted in the brush direction property.

In Blender 2.81 we update and draw all nodes inside the view planes.
When navigating with a pen tablet after an operation that tags the whole
mesh to update (like undo or inverting the mask), this introduces some
lag as nodes are updating when they enter the view. The viewport is not
fully responsive again until all nodes have entered the view after the
operation.
This commit delays nodes updates until the view navigation stops, so the
viewport navigation is always fully responsive. This introduces some
artifacts while navigating, so it can be disabled if you don't want to
see them.
I'm storing the update planes in the PBVH. This way I can add support
for some tools to update in real-time only the nodes inside this plane
while running the operator, like the mesh filter.

This fixes the following issues:
- Previously, the face set from the active vertex was used directly. Vertices always return the most recently created face set, so in some cases there may be some face sets that were not possible to select as active. Now the active face set is set in the ray intersection, so it always matches the face under the cursor.
- When drawing face sets they were set per vertex, so it was not possible to paint one face at a time. Now face sets are painted per poly when using the brush on meshes, testing the distance to the center of each poly.
- The code for the active vertex on PBVH_GRIDS was not correct, so I also fixed that to test if everything was working correctly.

This implements the Sculpt Mode API functions needed for Face Sets and
visibility management for PBVH_GRIDS. No major changes were needed in
the operators and the sculpt mode code. This implementation stores the
face sets in the base mesh, so faces created in higher subdivision
levels can't be modified individually. Also, we are not checking for
multiple face sets per vertex (that can be added in the future), so
relax tools don't work yet. The rest of the features (paint, undo,
visibility operators..) work as expected.
