This commit introduces the first version of an exporter to Pixar's
Universal Scene Description (USD) format.
Reviewed By: sergey, LazyDodo
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D6287
- The USD libraries are built by `make deps`, but not yet built by
install_deps.sh.
- Only experimental support for instancing; by default all duplicated
objects are made real in the USD file. This is fine for exporting a
linked-in posed character, not so much for thousands of pebbles etc.
- The way materials and UV coordinates and Normals are exported is going
to change soon.
- This patch contains LazyDodo's fixes for building on Windows in D5359.
== Meshes ==
USD seems to support neither per-material nor per-face-group
double-sidedness, so we just use the flag from the first non-empty
material slot. If there is no material we default to double-sidedness.
Each UV map is stored on the mesh in a separate primvar. Materials can
refer to these UV maps, but this is not yet exported by Blender. The
primvar name is the same as the UV Map name. This is to allow the
standard name "st" for texture coordinates by naming the UV Map as such,
without having to guess which UV Map is the "standard" one.
Face-varying mesh normals are written to USD. When the mesh has custom
loop normals those are written. Otherwise the poly flag `ME_SMOOTH` is
inspected to determine the normals.
The UV maps and mesh normals take up a significant amount of space, so
exporting them is optional. They're still enabled by default, though.
For comparison: a shot of Spring (03_035_A) is 1.2 GiB when exported
with UVs and normals, and 262 MiB without. We probably have room for
optimisation of written UVs and normals.
The mesh subdivision scheme isn't using the default value 'Catmull
Clark', but uses 'None', indicating we're exporting a polygonal mesh.
This is necessary for USD to understand our normals; otherwise the mesh
is always rendered smooth. In the future we may want to expose this
choice of subdivision scheme to the user, or auto-detect it when we
actually support exporting pre-subdivision meshes.
A possible optimisation could be to inspect whether all polygons are
smooth or flat, and mark the USD mesh as such. This can be added when
needed.
== Animation ==
Mesh and transform animation are now written when passing
`animation=True` to the export operator. There is no inspection of
whether an object is actually animated or not; USD can handle
deduplication of static values for us.
The administration of which timecode to use for the export is left to
the file-format-specific concrete subclasses of
`AbstractHierarchyIterator`; the abstract iterator itself doesn't know
anything about the passage of time. This will allow subclasses for the
frame-based USD format and time-based Alembic format.
== Support for simple preview materials ==
Very simple versions of the materials are now exported, using only the
viewport diffuse RGB, metallic, and roughness.
When there are multiple materials, the mesh faces are stored as geometry
subset and each material is assigned to the appropriate subset. If there
is only one material this is skipped.
The first material if any) is always applied to the mesh itself
(regardless of the existence of geometry subsets), because the Hydra
viewport doesn't support materials on subsets. See
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/issues/542 for more info.
Note that the geometry subsets are not yet time-sampled, so it may break
when an animated mesh changes topology.
Materials are exported as a flat list under a top-level '/_materials'
namespace. This inhibits instancing of the objects using those
materials, so this is subject to change.
== Hair ==
Only the parent strands are exported, and only with a constant colour.
No UV coordinates, no information about the normals.
== Camera ==
Only perspective cameras are supported for now.
== Particles ==
Particles are only written when they are alive, which means that they
are always visible (there is currently no code that deals with marking
them as invisible outside their lifespan).
Particle-system-instanced objects are exported by suffixing the object
name with the particle's persistent ID, giving each particle XForm a
unique name.
== Instancing/referencing ==
This exporter has experimental support for instancing/referencing.
Dupli-object meshes are now written to USD as references to the original
mesh. This is still very limited in correctness, as there are issues
referencing to materials from a referenced mesh.
I am still committing this, as it gives us a place to start when
continuing the quest for proper instancing in USD.
== Lights ==
USD does not directly support spot lights, so those aren't exported yet.
It's possible to add this in the future via the UsdLuxShapingAPI. The
units used for the light intensity are also still a bit of a mystery.
== Fluid vertex velocities ==
Currently only fluid simulations (not meshes in general) have explicit
vertex velocities. This is the most important case for exporting
velocities, though, as the baked mesh changes topology all the time, and
thus computing the velocities at import time in a post-processing step
is hard.
== The Building Process ==
- USD is built as monolithic library, instead of 25 smaller libraries.
We were linking all of them as 'whole archive' anyway, so this doesn't
affect the final file size. It does, however, make life easier with
respect to linking order, and handling upstream changes.
- The JSON files required by USD are installed into datafiles/usd; they
are required on every platform. Set the `PXR_PATH_DEBUG` to any value
to have the USD library print the paths it uses to find those files.
- USD is patched so that it finds the aforementioned JSON files in a path
that we pass to it from Blender.
- USD is patched to have a `PXR_BUILD_USD_TOOLS` CMake option to disable
building the tools in its `bin` directory. This is sent as a pull
request at https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/pull/1048

Steps to reproduce were:
* Change File Browser display mode to fullscreen in Preferences
* File > Save As (make sure existing .blend is selected)
* File > Open
The file name would still be shown in red and the + and - icons would be
visible, which should only be the case for saving files, not opening.
Note that this change makes all `FileSelectParams.flag` values be reset
on re-opening a File Browser, which *may* in fact cause other issues.
It's easy to fix those though, and I'd prefer properly resetting the
flags and only keeping specific ones in that case.

When opening the file browser as regular editor, the ID filter flags
as stored in FileSelectParams were not set explicitly, so they were 0.
Since 9100982e8097, the value actually passed to the filtering could
differ from that, causing the file list cache to be constantly updated
on every redraw.
Caused by 9100982e8097.
Note that this "accidentially" got fixed in master with b54626364253,
which is why the issue only showed up in the release branch from that
point.

This adds the ID-Filters visible on append/link to the settings the file
browser remembers, potentially storing them in the Preferences.
Artists in the studio here requested this. They typically have to set up
the same or similar settings every time, so this saves them from that.
|
|
When the filtering option was disable we should see all the datablock types.

This makes it so that some display related properties of the file
browser state are remembered in the Preferences. Otherwise, users often
end up doing the same set up work over and over again, so this is a
nice way to save users some work.
It's typical for other file browsers to remember their state too, so
another benefit is having a more conventional behavior, meeting user
expectations better.
Some points:
* We currently store: Window size, display type, thumbnail size,
enabled details-columns, sort options, "Show Hidden" option. More can
be added easily.
* No changes are stored to the Preferences if "Auto-save Preferences"
is disabled. This is how Quick Favorites behave too and it's a
reasonable way to make this behavior optional.
* The Preferences are only saved to permanent memory upon closing
Blender, following existing convention of Preferences and Quick
Favorites.
* If settings weren't actually changed, Preference saving is skipped.
* Only temporary file browsers save their state (invoked through
actions like open or save), not regular file browser editors. These
are usually used for different purposes and workflows.
* Removes "Show Thumbnails" Preferences option. It would need some
special handling, possibly introducing bugs. For users, this
simplifies behavior and should make things more predictable.
Left in DNA data in case we decide to bring it back.

As per Brecht's suggestion, use the check_existing property to control
visibility of the '+' and '-' icons. It is typically set for save
operations.

This is a general redesign of the File Browser GUI and interaction
methods. For screenshots, check patch D5601.
Main changes in short:
* File Browser as floating window
* New layout of regions
* Popovers for view and filter options
* Vertical list view with interactive column header
* New and updated icons
* Keymap consistency fixes
* Many tweaks and fixes to the drawing of views
----
General:
* The file browser now opens as temporary floating window. It closes on
Esc. The header is hidden then.
* When the file browser is opened as regular editor, the header remains
visible.
* All file browser regions are now defined in Python (the button
layout).
* Adjusted related operator UI names.
Keymap:
Keymap is now consistent with other list-based views in Blender, such as
the Outliner.
* Left click to select, double-click to open
* Right-click context menus
* Shift-click to fill selection
* Ctrl-click to extend selection
Operator options:
These previously overlapped with the source list, which caused numerous
issues with resizing and presenting many settings in a small panel area.
It was also generally inconsistent with Blender.
* Moved to new sidebar, which can easily be shown or hidden using a
prominent Options toggle.
* IO operators have new layouts to match this new sidebar, using
sub-panels. This will have to be committed separately (Add-on
repository).
* If operators want to show the options by default, they have the option
to do so (see `WM_FILESEL_SHOW_PROPS`, `hide_props_region`), otherwise
they are hidden by default.
General Layout:
The layout has been changed to be simpler, more standard, and fits
better in with Blender 2.8.
* More conventional layout (file path at top, file name at the bottom,
execute/cancel buttons in bottom right).
* Use of popovers to group controls, and allow for more descriptive
naming.
* Search box is always live now, just like Outliner.
Views:
* Date Modified column combines both date and time, also uses user
friendly strings for recent dates (i.e. "Yesterday", "Today").
* Details columns (file size, modification date/time) are now toggleable
for all display types, they are not hardcoded per display type.
* File sizes now show as B, KB, MB, ... rather than B, KiB, MiB, … They
are now also calculated using base 10 of course.
* Option to sort in inverse order.
Vertical List View:
* This view now used a much simpler single vertical list with columns
for information.
* Users can click on the headers of these columns to order by that
category, and click again to reverse the ordering.
Icons:
* Updated icons by Jendrzych, with better centering.
* Files and folders have new icons in Icon view.
* Both files and folders have reworked superimposed icons that show
users the file/folder type.
* 3D file documents correctly use the 3d file icon, which was unused
previously.
* Workspaces now show their icon on Link/Append - also when listed in
the Outliner.
Minor Python-API breakage:
* `bpy.types.FileSelectParams.display_type`: `LIST_SHORT` and
`LIST_LONG` are replaced by `LIST_VERTICAL` and `LIST_HORIZONTAL`.
Removes the feature where directories would automatically be created if
they are entered into the file path text button, but don't exist. We
were not sure if users use it enough to keep it. We can definitely bring
it back.

We really do not need two 256 chars variables to hanlde renaming, a mere
pair of flags can handle the situation just as well.
Also, scroll to newly renamed item, will help when one want to find
again the directory they just added and rename.
At some point we'll probably want to refactor scrolling further (to make
it fully out of rename code/context e.g.), but for now think this will do.

Smotthscroll to edited entry was broken since filelisting was

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

Makes it simpler to make some changes...
Also fix order of some includes (use alphabetical please).

That kind of implicit includes should really only be done when totally,
absolutely necessary, and ideally only with rather simple 'second-level'
headers.
Otherwise not being explicit with includes always end up biting in
unexpected ways...

There were two issues here, introduced by rB66aa4af836:
* Forgot to change length of some filter_glob var deep in filebrowser code.
* Truncating filter_glob in general can be dangerous, generating
unexpected patterns.
Last point was the root of the issue here, truncating to 63 chars string
left last group as 'match everything' `*` pattern.
To fix that to some extent, added a new BLI_path_extension_glob_validate
helper to BLI_path_util, which ensures we do not have last
wildcards-only group in our pattern, when there are more than one group.

This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)

Note for users
==============
The active_layer option used for the filebrowser operators is now called
active_collection.
If there is no collections in the scenelayer or if this option is not selected
we automatically create a new collection for the new objects.
This is the same behaviour of trying to add a new object when there is
no collection.
Note for developers
===================
For those cases I moved the object user count handling from readfile to
the scene collection system. It's working fine for those, but we still
need to re-visit this for Add objects, and Duplicate - In those cases
the usercount is 2 when it should be 1.

Was kinda split in two different places (one allowed to modify given path to always get a valid one,
the other only checking for validity of given path), not nice - and broken in asset branch case.
So rather extended a bit FileList->checkdirf to handle both cases (modifying and non-modifying path).

All in all, this patch adds an Alembic importer, an Alembic exporter,
and a new CacheFile data block which, for now, wraps around an Alembic
archive. This data block is made available through a new modifier ("Mesh
Sequence Cache") as well as a new constraint ("Transform Cache") to
somewhat properly support respectively geometric and transformation data
streaming from alembic caches.
A more in-depth documentation is to be found on the wiki, as well as a
guide to compile alembic: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/
User:Kevindietrich/AlembicBasicIo.
Many thanks to everyone involved in this little project, and huge shout
out to "cgstrive" for the thorough testings with Maya, 3ds Max, Houdini
and Realflow as well as @fjuhec, @jensverwiebe and @jasperge for the
