2022-09-22Metal: MTLContext implementation and immediate mode rendering support.Thomas Dinges
MTLContext provides functionality for command encoding, binding management and graphics device management. MTLImmediate provides simple draw enablement with dynamically encoded data. These draws utilise temporary scratch buffer memory to provide minimal bandwidth overhead during workload submission. This patch also contains empty placeholders for MTLBatch and MTLDrawList to enable testing of first pixels on-screen without failure. The Metal API also requires access to the GHOST_Context to ensure the same pre-initialized Metal GPU device is used by the viewport. Given the explicit nature of Metal, explicit control is also needed over presentation, to ensure correct work scheduling and rendering pipeline state.

2022-09-14ViewLayer: Lazy sync of scene data.Monique Dewanchand
When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage. This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script. `BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing `BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection` or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`. Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out. This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters. In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped in a single script you might want to always check for resync. Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete. These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer. The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches. **Object duplication** During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}). **Object add** `BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`). We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects without having to resync per object. **Postpone Activate Base** Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

2022-09-02DRWManager: New implementation.Clément Foucault
This is a new implementation of the draw manager using modern rendering practices and GPU driven culling. This only ports features that are not considered deprecated or to be removed. The old DRW API is kept working along side this new one, and does not interfeer with it. However this needed some more hacking inside the draw_view_lib.glsl. At least the create info are well separated. The reviewer might start by looking at `draw_pass_test.cc` to see the API in usage. Important files are `draw_pass.hh`, `draw_command.hh`, `draw_command_shared.hh`. In a nutshell (for a developper used to old DRW API): - `DRWShadingGroups` are replaced by `Pass<T>::Sub`. - Contrary to DRWShadingGroups, all commands recorded inside a pass or sub-pass (even binds / push_constant / uniforms) will be executed in order. - All memory is managed per object (except for Sub-Pass which are managed by their parent pass) and not from draw manager pools. So passes "can" potentially be recorded once and submitted multiple time (but this is not really encouraged for now). The only implicit link is between resource lifetime and `ResourceHandles` - Sub passes can be any level deep. - IMPORTANT: All state propagate from sub pass to subpass. There is no state stack concept anymore. Ensure the correct render state is set before drawing anything using `Pass::state_set()`. - The drawcalls now needs a `ResourceHandle` instead of an `Object *`. This is to remove any implicit dependency between `Pass` and `Manager`. This was a huge problem in old implementation since the manager did not know what to pull from the object. Now it is explicitly requested by the engine. - The pases need to be submitted to a `draw::Manager` instance which can be retrieved using `DRW_manager_get()` (for now). Internally: - All object data are stored in contiguous storage buffers. Removing a lot of complexity in the pass submission. - Draw calls are sorted and visibility tested on GPU. Making more modern culling and better instancing usage possible in the future. - Unit Tests have been added for regression testing and avoid most API breakage. - `draw::View` now contains culling data for all objects in the scene allowing caching for multiple views. - Bounding box and sphere final setup is moved to GPU. - Some global resources locations have been hardcoded to reduce complexity. What is missing: - ~~Workaround for lack of gl_BaseInstanceARB.~~ Done - ~~Object Uniform Attributes.~~ Done (Not in this patch) - Workaround for hardware supporting a maximum of 8 SSBO.

2022-08-31Fix T100700: Compositor crashes when disabled then enabledOmar Emara
The viewport compositor crashes when it is disabled then enabled after the compositor node tree is edited. This happens because the compositor engine uses the view_update callback of the draw engine type to detect changes in the node tree and reset its state for future evaluation. However, the draw manager only calls the view_update callback for enabled engines, so the compositor never receives the needed updates to properly reset its state and then crashes at draw time. This patch call the view_update callback for all registered engines regardless if they are enabled or not, that way, they always receive the potentially important updated needed to maintain a correct state. Aside from the compositor engine, this change affects the EEVEE and Workbench engines because they are the only engines that utilizes this callback. However, both of them only reset a flag that is checked at draw time. So the change should have no side effects. For the EEVEE engine, we just add a null check in case it was not instanced, while Workbench already have the appropriate null check.

2022-08-17Metaball: Evaluate metaball objects as mesh componentsHans Goudey
With the ultimate goal of simplifying drawing and evaluation, this patch makes the following changes and removes code: - Use `Mesh` instead of `DispList` for evaluated basis metaballs. - Remove all `DispList` drawing code, which is now unused. - Simplify code that converts evaluated metaballs to meshes. - Store the evaluated mesh in the evaluated geometry set. This has the following indirect benefits: - Evaluated meshes from metaball objects can be used in geometry nodes. - Renderers can ignore evaluated metaball objects completely - Cycles rendering no longer has to convert to mesh from `DispList`. - We get closer to removing `DispList` completely. - Optimizations to mesh rendering will also apply to metaball objects. The vertex normals on the evaluated mesh are technically invalid; the regular calculation wouldn't reproduce them. Metaball objects don't support modifiers though, so it shouldn't be a problem. Eventually we can support per-vertex custom normals (T93551). Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14593

2022-08-09DRW: DebugDraw: Port module to C++ and add GPU capabilitiesClément Foucault
This is a complete rewrite of the draw debug drawing module in C++. It uses `GPUStorageBuf` to store the data to be drawn and use indirect drawing. This makes it easier to do a mirror API for GPU shaders. The C++ API class is exposed through `draw_debug.hh` and should be used when possible in new code. However, the debug drawing will not work for platform not yet supporting `GPUStorageBuf`. Also keep in mind that this module must only be used in debug build for performance and compatibility reasons.

2022-07-09Weight & Vertex Paint: always respect edit mode hiding on faces.Alexander Gavrilov
In some cases it is mandatory to be able to hide parts of the mesh in order to paint certain areas. The Mask modifier doesn't work in weight paint, and edit mode hiding requires using selection, which is not always convenient. This makes the weight and vertex paint modes always respect edit mode hiding like sculpt mode. The change in behavior affects drawing and building paint PBVH. Thus it affects brushes, but not menu operators like Smooth or Normalize. In addition, this makes the Alt-H shortcut available even without any selection enabled, and implements Hide for vertex selection. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14163

2022-05-24EEVEE: support Curves attributes renderingKévin Dietrich
This adds support to render Curves attributes in EEVEE. Each attribute is stored in a texture derived from a VBO. As the shading group needs the textures to be valid upon creation, the attributes are created and setup during its very creation, instead of doing it lazily via create_requested which we cannot rely on anyway as contrary to the mesh batch, we do cannot really tell if attributes need to be updated or else via some `DRW_batch_requested`. Since point attributes need refinement, and since attributes are all cast to vec4/float4 to account for differences in type conversions between Blender and OpenGL, the refinement shader for points is used as is. The point attributes are stored for each subdivision level in CurvesEvalFinalCache. Each subdivision level also keeps track of the attributes already in use so they are properly updated when needed. Some basic garbage collection was added similar to what is done for meshes: if the attributes used over time have been different from the currently used attributes for too long, then the buffers are freed, ensuring that stale attributesare removed. This adds `CurvesInfos` to the shader creation info, which stores the scope in which the attributes are defined. Scopes are stored as booleans, in an array indexed by attribute loading order which is also the order in which the attributes were added to the material. A mapping is necessary between the indices used for the scoping, and the ones used in the Curves cache, as this may contain stale attributes which have not been garbage collected yet. Common utilities with the mesh code for handling requested attributes were moved to a separate file. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14916

2022-04-19GPU: Replace `GPUMaterialVolumeGrid` by `GPUMaterialAttribute`Clément Foucault
This is to make the codegen and shading nodes object type agnostic. This is essential for flexibility of the engine to use the nodetree as it see fits. The essential volume attributes struct properties are moved to the `GPUMaterialAttribute` which see its final input name set on creation. The binding process is centralized into `draw_volume.cc` to avoid duplicating the code between multiple engines. It mimics the hair attributes process. Volume object grid transforms and other per object uniforms are packed into one UBO per object. The grid transform is now based on object which simplify the matrix preparations. This also gets rid of the double transforms and use object info orco factors for volume objects. Tagging @brecht because he did the initial implementation of Volume Grids.

2022-04-15GPU: Make viewport not acquireable during renderingClément Foucault
This is a partial fix to the fact that rendering with EEVEE or other GL render engines is currently blocking the whole UI when asking to redraw a viewport. This patch just bypasses the viewport bind (containing the Draw Context lock) and the following drawing. There is an update tagging to not loose a viewport update if there was one asked. Other queries other than view redraw (such as selection depth drawing or offscreen drawing) will still block the whole UI as they need immediate data feedback. Ping @Severin for the change in `WM_draw_region_viewport_bind()`. I'm assuming this is not an issue because it's highly unlikely to bring up this operator during rendering. But in this case, it would just lock as usual. The bypassing in `DRW_notify_view_update` might be a bit overparanoid.

2022-02-11Fix excessive re-creation of VR viewport texturesPeter Kim
Due to the freeing and re-creation of textures performed when binding offscreen viewports, VR viewport textures would be needlessly re-created every drawing iteration, leading to a negative impact on VR frame rate. This was brought to light by 6738ecb64e8b, which introduced an additional texture clear operation on initialization and was prohibitively costly on some systems when performed every frame. Now, the textures for VR viewports will not be always re-created during offscreen binding, but only when necessary using a pre-drawing step (`wm_xr_session_surface_offscreen_ensure()`).

2022-02-07Curves: Rename "Hair" types, variables, and functions to "Curves"Hans Goudey
Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block. However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves" will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves". This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases. The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve" and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict. Some points of interest: - All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729. - I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch. - `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the existing "curves" plural. - I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names, since that is also used by the old hair particle system.

2022-01-25Fix depsgraphs sharing IDs via evaluated edit meshSergey Sharybin
The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing other evaluated IDs such as materials. It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing bugs like T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following: - It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report. - Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level. This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all objects which share the mesh). There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph. There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes: should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption. Tested scenarios: - Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the same scene. - Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359 This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.

This is a first part of the Shader Create Info system could be. A shader create info provides a way to define shader structure, resources and interfaces. This makes for a quick way to provide backend agnostic binding informations while also making shader variations easy to declare. - Clear source input (only one file). Cleans up the GPU api since we can create a shader from one descriptor - Resources and interfaces are generated by the backend (much simpler than parsing). - Bindings are explicit from position in the array. - GPUShaderInterface becomes a trivial translation of enums and string copy. - No external dependency to third party lib. - Cleaner code, less fragmentation of resources in several libs. - Easy to modify / extend at runtime. - no parser involve, very easy to code. - Does not hold any data, can be static and kept on disc. - Could hold precompiled bytecode for static shaders. This also includes a new global dependency system. GLSL shaders can include other sources by using #pragma BLENDER_REQUIRE(...). This patch already migrated several builtin shaders. Other shaders should be migrated one at a time, and could be done inside master. There is a new compile directive `WITH_GPU_SHADER_BUILDER` this is an optional directive for linting shaders to increase turn around time.

Bound Box of temporary objects is marked dirty in `BKE_object_replace_data_on_shallow_copy` since `ob->data` is different.

2021-12-27OpenSubDiv: add support for an OpenGL evaluatorKévin Dietrich
This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last position in the modifier list. When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then, buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose logic is hardly GPU compatible). This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation shaders. We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float types. In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`. Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used. Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under Viewport -> Subdivision). See patch description for benchmarks.
