corresponding data layers and using their values for computations.
Avoiding that should increase performance in many operations that
would otherwise have to read, write, or propagate these values.
It also means decreased memory usage-- not just for sculpt mode
but for any mesh that was in sculpt mode. Previously the mask, face set,
and hide status layers were *always* allocated by sculpt mode.
Here are a few basic tests when masking and face sets are not used:
| Test | Before | After |
| Subsurf Modifier | 148 ms | 126 ms |
| Sculpt Overlay Extraction | 24 ms every redraw | 0 ms |
| Memory usage | 252 MB | 236 MB |
I wouldn't expect any difference when they are used though.
The code changes are mostly just making sculpt features safe for when
the layers aren't stored, and some changes to the conversion to and
from the hide layers. Use of the ".hide_poly" attribute replaces testing
whether face sets are negative in many places.

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

This commit moves the hide status of mesh vertices, edges, and faces
from the `ME_FLAG` to optional generic boolean attributes. Storing this
data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and improve code,
as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.hide_vert`, `.hide_edge`, and `.hide_poly`,
using the attribute name semantics discussed in T97452. The `.` prefix
means they are "UI attributes", so they still contain original data
edited by users, but they aren't meant to be accessed procedurally by
the user in arbitrary situations. They are also be hidden in the
spreadsheet and the attribute list by default,
Until 4.0, the attributes are still written to and read from the mesh
in the old way, so neither forward nor backward compatibility are
affected. This means memory requirements will be increased by one byte
per element when the hide status is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease when hiding is unused.
Further notes:
* Some code can be further simplified to skip some processing when the
hide attributes don't exist.
* The data is still stored in flags for `BMesh`, necessitating some
complexity in the conversion to and from `Mesh`.
* Access to the "hide" property of mesh elements in RNA is slower.
The separate boolean arrays should be used where possible.

This is a port of sculpt-dev's `SculptVertRef` refactor
(note that `SculptVertRef was renamed to PBVHVertRef`)
to master. `PBVHVertRef` is a structure that abstracts
the concept of a vertex in the sculpt code; it's simply
an `intptr_t` wrapped in a struct.
For `PBVH_FACES` and `PBVH_GRIDS` this struct stores a
vertex index, but for `BMesh` it stores a direct pointer
to a BMVert. The intptr_t is wrapped in a struct to prevent
the accidental usage of it as an index.
There are many reasons to do this:
* Right now `BMesh` verts are not logical sculpt verts;
to use the sculpt API they must first be converted to indices.
This requires a lot of indirect lookups into tables, leading to performance
loss. It has also led to greater code complexity and duplication.
* Having an abstract vertex type makes it feasible to have one unified
temporary attribute API for all three PBVH modes, which in turn
made it rather trivial to port sculpt brushes to DynTopo in
sculpt-dev (e.g. the layer brush, draw sharp, the smooth brushes,
the paint brushes, etc). This attribute API will be in a future patch.
* We need to do this anyway for the eventual move to C++.

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.

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.
{F12995467}
Screen recording has been done on a Mac Mini with a 6 core 3.3 GHZ Intel processor.
# 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

introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point

face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace

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.

- 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)

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 implements the Sculpt Mode API functions needed for Face Sets and

levels can't be modified individually. Also, we are not checking for

That was a nice and funny hunt, albeit rather time consumming!
To summarize, so far code was using a static global gpu_buffer for pbvh vbo drawing
of 'grid' types (multires mostly?).
There were two issues here:
1) Global gpu buffer was assigned to GPU_PBVH_Buffers->index_buf, but then nearly no
check was done when freeing that buffer, to ensure we were not freeing the global one
(not totally sure this one was actually causing any issue, but was bad and unsafe anyway).
Was solved by adding a flag to GPU_PBVH_Buffers to indicate when we are using some
'common' buffer here, which freeing is handled separately.
2) Main issue: if several multires objects in sculpt mode with different grid size
were present simultaneously, the global gpu buffer had to be resized for each object draw
(i.e., freed and re-allocated), but then the pbvh nodes from other objects storing freed reference
to that global buffer had no way to know that it had been freed, which was causing the segfault & crash.
Was solved by getting rid of that global buffer, and instead allocating one 'grid_commmon_gpu_buffer' per pbvh.
Told ya baby, globals are *PURE EVIL*!
