Using the attribute name semantics from T97452, this patch moves the
selection status of mesh elements from the `SELECT` of vertices, and
edges, and the `ME_FACE_SEL` of faces to generic boolean attribute
Storing this data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and
improve code, as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.select_vert`, `.select_edge`, and
`.select_poly`. 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.
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 selection is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease.
Further notes:
* The `MVert` flag is empty at runtime now, so it can be ignored.
* `BMesh` is unchanged, otherwise the change would be much larger.
* Many tests have slightly different results, since the selection
attribute uses more generic propagation. Previously you couldn't
really rely on edit mode selections being propagated procedurally.
Now it mostly works as expected.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

Similar to the other refactors from T95965, this commit moves sculpt
face sets to use a generic integer attribute named `".sculpt_face_set"`.
This makes face sets accessible in the Python API.
The attribute is not visible in the attributes list or the spreadsheet
because it is meant for internal use, though that could be an option
in the future along with other similar attributes. Currently the change
is small, but in the future this could simplify code by allowing use
of more generic attribute APIs.

This removes some boilerplate when creating many optional attributes.
|
|
I didn't observe this issue in practice, but since the write_only
version of the attribute API isn't meant to initialize trivial types,
theoretically this could be a problem if the attribute is created
halfway through converting the BMesh to a Mesh.

The BM_mesh_bm_to_me_for_eval() cal be called on the same BMesh
from multiple threads. This adds a restriction that this function
should not modify the BMesh. This started to be violated quite
madly during the generic attributes changes.
This change makes it so that the BMesh is not modified.
The code looks less functional-like, but it solves the threading
conflict.
Ideally the BMesh will be const in the function but doing it now
is a bit tricky due to the other APIs.
The repro case for the crash is a bit tricky to reproduce from
scratch. For those who has access to the Heis production repo
/pro/lib/char/pack_bot/pack_bot.blend file can be used. Simply
add loop to "GEO-leg.R" object and use bevel operator on the
new loop.
There is still some write of the element indices happening in
this function. In theory those could be removed (together with
the dirty index tag clear) but it leads to obscure crashes in
area far away from this one. I've left it unchanged for now as
on 64bit platforms those assignments should not be causing real
issues.

Even meshes without any faces must have MPoly and MLoop layers, etc.
This caused a crash in the extrude node when the edit mesh had no faces
(see T101208). Issue with f94130c94b24ac6578.

As described in T95966, the goal is to move to a "struct of arrays"
approach rather than gathering an arbitrary set of data in hard-coded
structs. This has performance benefits, but also code complexity
benefits (this patch removes plenty of code, though the boilerplate
for the new operators outweighs that here).
To mirror the internal change, the options for storing mesh bevel
weights are converted into operators that add or remove the layer,
like for some other layers.
The most complex change is to the solidify modifier, where bevel
weights had special handling. Other than that, most changes are
removing clearing of the weights, boilerplate for the add/remove
operators, and removing the manual transfer of bevel weights
in bmesh - mesh conversion.
Eventually bevel weights can become a fully generic attribute,
but for now this patch aims to avoid most functional changes.
Bevel weights are still written and read from the mesh in the old way,
so neither forward nor backward compatibility are affected. As described
in T95965, writing in the old format will be done until 4.0.

Replace `mesh_attributes`, `mesh_attributes_for_write` and the point
cloud versions with methods on the `Mesh` and `PointCloud` types.
This makes them friendlier to use and improves readability.

Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`
in the API added in 05952aa94d33eeb50. This aligns better with
existing naming where the shorter names are much more common.
|
|
The `mvert` pointer was passed to `bm_to_mesh_shape` and was never
reset to the beginning of the vertex array. Use spans instead to
eliminate this error completely. This also has the benefit of letting
the CustomData system handle allocation of mesh layers.
|
|
For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7ee, 410a6efb747f). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

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.

When allocating new `CustomData` layers, often we do redundant
initialization of arrays. For example, it's common that values are
allocated, set to their default value, and then set to some other
value. This is wasteful, and it negates the benefits of optimizations
to the allocator like D15082. There are two reasons for this. The
first is array-of-structs storage that makes it annoying to initialize
values manually, and the second is confusing options in the Custom Data
API. This patch addresses the latter.
The `CustomData` "alloc type" options are rearranged. Now, besides
the options that use existing layers, there are two remaining:
* `CD_SET_DEFAULT` sets the default value.
* Usually zeroes, but for colors this is white (how it was before).
* Should be used when you add the layer but don't set all values.
* `CD_CONSTRUCT` refers to the "default construct" C++ term.
* Only necessary or defined for non-trivial types like vertex groups.
* Doesn't do anything for trivial types like `int` or `float3`.
* Should be used every other time, when all values will be set.
The attribute API's `AttributeInit` types are updated as well.
To update code, replace `CD_CALLOC` with `CD_SET_DEFAULT` and
`CD_DEFAULT` with `CD_CONSTRUCT`. This doesn't cause any functional
changes yet. Follow-up commits will change to avoid initializing
new layers where the correctness is clear.

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 reverts commit 94866ef84f1907116409f8fe9c1f313405
A number of reports of bevel regressions came after the
commit to fix bevel intersection continuity.
Since the fix for some of those regressions is not obvious
we will revert the continuity improvement and do it as
part of the Bevel V2 project.

Calculating shortest path selection in UV edge mode was done using vertex
path logic. Since the UV editor now supports proper edge selection [0],
this approach can sometimes give incorrect results.
This problem is now fixed by adding separate logic to calculate the
shortest path in UV edge mode.

This mirrors the C++ attribute API better, separates the implementation
of attributes from CustomData slightly, and makes functions simpler,
clearer, and safer.
Also fix an issue with removing an attribute caused by 97712b018df71c
