This patch exposes the Cycles Alembic Procedural through the MeshSequenceCache
modifier in order to use and test it from Blender.
To enable it, one has to switch the render feature set to experimental and
activate the Procedural in the modifier. An Alembic Procedural is then
created for each CacheFile from Blender set to use the Procedural, and each
Blender object having a MeshSequenceCache modifier is added to list of objects
of the right procedural.
The procedural's parameters derive from the CacheFile's properties which are
already exposed in the UI through the modifier, although more Cycles specific
options might be added in the future.
As there is currently no cache controls and since we load all the data at the
beginning of the render session, the procedural is only available during
viewport renders at the moment. When an Alembic procedural is rendered, data
from the archive are not read on the Blender side.
If a Cycles render is not active and the CacheFile is set to use the Cycles Procedural,
bounding boxes are used to display the objects in the scene as a signal that the
objects are not processed by Blender anymore. This is standard in other DCCs.
However this does not reduce the memory usage from Blender as the Alembic data
was already loaded either during an import or during a .blend file read.
This is mostly a hack to test the Cycles Alembic procedural until we have a
better Blender side mechanism for letting renderers load their own geometry,
which will be based on import and export settings on Collections (T68933).

This addresses reduced visibility of scenes (as displayed in the VR
headset) that can result from the 8-bit color depth format currently
used for XR swapchain images.
By switching to a swapchain format with higher color depth (RGB10_A2,
RGBA16, RGBA16F) for supported runtimes, visibility in VR should be
noticeably improved.
However, current limitations are lack of support for these higher
color depth formats by some XR runtimes, especially for OpenGL.
Also important to note that GPU_offscreen_create() now explicitly
takes in the texture format (eGPUTextureFormat) instead of a
"high_bitdepth" boolean.

Before this commit rendering material icons the floor will is hidden.
This reduces the readability of reflective/refractive materials.
check patch for additional screenshots and notes.
This patch will switch the floor material that uses ray visibility tricks to render a floor for reflective rays.
Eevee uses screen space reflections that makes this a different problem. There is nothing else drawn in
the scene in screen space so we need a different trick. Using math we convert a reflective ray to UV space
and generate a world that projects a checker pattern to infinity.
As now the floor is in the world it is being reflected via
a cubemap. As the film is transparent the background (including the floor isn't rendered)
In the future when Eevee supports vulkan raytracing we can re-evaluate and perhaps remove this
approximation.
We tried lightprobes but that wasn't able to do the trick.
Using the compositor would lead to more memory usage (render layers and intermediate buffers) and slower performance.
Solution has been validated with Simon

This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.

The preview was always using frame 1, but maybe the object has changed and it's better create preview using the current frame.

also temporarily applies the pose. Its comment is now updated for this.
No functional changes.

When generating a preview image for a pose, temporarily apply it to the
armature. Contrary to the usual pose application, this ignores the
selected bones and always applies the entire pose.

After looking into task isolation issues with Sergey, we couldn't find the
reason behind the deadlocks that we are getting in T87938 and a Sprite Fright
file involving motion blur renders.
There is no apparent place where we adding or waiting on tasks in a task group
from different isolation regions, which is what is known to cause problems. Yet
it still hangs. Either we do not understand some limitation of TBB isolation,
or there is a bug in TBB, but we could not figure it out.
Instead the idea is to use isolation only where we know we need it: when
holding a mutex lock and then doing some multithreaded operation within that
locked region. Three places where we do this now:
* Generated images
* Cached BVH tree building
* OpenVDB lazy grid loading
Compared to the more automatic approach previously used, there is the downside
that it is easy to miss places where we need isolation. Yet doing it more
automatically is also causing unexpected issue and bugs that we found no
solution for, so this seems better.
Patch implemented by Sergey and me.

This patch makes the "Render" window a top-level window, not a child of
the main window, which was the case in blender versions prior to 2.93.
This means it is no longer "on top", nor is the icon grouped on the
taskbar in the same way, but you can Alt-Tab between it and the main
window. This change only affects the Windows platform as the other
platforms behave this way.
See D11576 for links to negative feedback that prompts this change.

Under some circumstances using task isolation can cause deadlocks.
Previously, our task pool implementation would run all tasks in an
isolated region. Now using task isolation is optional and can be
turned on/off for individual task pools.
Task pools that spawn new tasks recursively should never enable
task isolation. There is a new check that finds these cases at runtime.
Right now this check is disabled, so that this commit is a pure refactor.
It will be enabled in an upcoming commit.
This fixes T88598.

Textures may be important to be able to identify an object. They are also a way
to make many objects look more like when rendered with an advanced render
engine, without being that expensive.
So this seems like a simple way to increase usefulness of the automatic
previews.

oblique (tilted to one side and from above) to better show shape,
especially when axis-aligned. Camera lens changed to 85 to avoid

Pass `bContext *C` a bit further down the call stack, to prevent
exploding the number of parameters of `ED_preview_icon_render()`. An
upcoming change will require access to yet another context member, and
this can now be done without adding yet another parameter.

For Cycles, when enabling the Persistent Data option, the full render data
will be preserved from frame-to-frame in animation renders and between
re-renders of the scene. This means that any modifier evaluation, BVH
building, OpenGL vertex buffer uploads, etc, can be done only once for
unchanged objects. This comes at an increased memory cost.
Previously there option was named Persistent Images and had a more limited
impact on render time and memory.
When using multiple view layers, only data from a single view layer is
preserved to keep memory usage somewhat under control. However objects
shared between view layers are preserved, and so this can speedup such
renders as well, even single frame renders.
For Eevee and Workbench this option is not available, however these engines
will now always reuse the depsgraph for animation and multiple view layers.
This can significantly speed up rendering.
These engines do not support sharing the depsgraph between re-renders, due
to technical issues regarding OpenGL contexts. Support for this could be added
if those are solved, see the code comments for details.

It looks like we never generated correct icon previews for images with
float_rects (non-8bit-images). Images from the report were 16bit pngs.
In this case, `icon_preview_startjob` would return early (it only
checked if the ImBuf `rect` was NULL -- which is the case if it has a
`rect_float` instead). This is not neccessary since `icon_copy_rect` is
perfectly capable of taking float rects.
Now correct the check and only return early if both `rect` & `rect_float`
are NULL.
note: this will not refresh icon previews from existing files
automatically. For this, use File > Data Previews > Clear Data-Block
Previews.

Render previews for Action datablocks by rendering the scene camera with
the Workbench (solid) engine. The //look// can be configured by setting
the scene's render engine to Workbench and editing the scene's shading
properties.
It is assumed that the pose has already been applied and that the scene
camera is capturing the pose. In other words, the render function just
renders from the scene camera without evaluating/applying the Action
stored in `preview->id`. The ID is only used to determine its type and
to store the resulting preview.
Not all code paths that lead to the `action_preview_render()` function
actually provide a depsgraph. The "Refresh Asset Preview" button
(`ED_OT_lib_id_generate_preview`) does, but `WM_OT_previews_ensure` does
not.

In 2.81 there was a change to increase the performance of viewport
animation rendering. This change would perform the color management on the
GPU if the only 8bit was needed. This saved CPU cycles and data
transfer.
The issue is that in the image editor or when saving the image the CM
will be reapplied. Although the speed is desired, exporting the actual
colors has more priority.
In the ticket there is an analysis that shows that shows that this fix
is the correct short term step to take. It would be better that the
render result is aware of the color space of its buffers so the applying
color management could be skipped when saving to disk or drawing in the
image editor.
The issue with this change is the performance penalty it has.

Caused by rB5b34d11b55e0.
Above commit restored the view matrices in ED_view3d_draw_offscreen
_before_ they can be stored in the ImBuff (see ED_view3d_draw_offscreen
/ texture_paint_image_from_view_exec).
Now make restoring the view matrices optional and dont do this in case
of reprojection, so the used matrices can still be saved in the ImBuff
later.
