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.

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.

Outliner would frame the armature object instead of the bone if the bone
was on a hidden armature layer.
Similar to issues reported in e.g. T58068 and T80464, this is due to the
fact that `BKE_pose_channel_active` always checks for the armature layer
(and returns NULL if a bone is not on a visible armature layer).
Now propose to make this layer check **optional** (and e.g. from the
Outliner be more permissive). This also introduces
`BKE_pose_channel_active_if_layer_visible` which just wraps
`BKE_pose_channel_active` with the check being ON.

Redrawing is needed for repositioning the cursor.
Subscribe to changes to the 3d cursor to ensure all view ports

Float precision issues cause the `ED_view3d_win_to_3d_on_plane` to return
a value even when the view ray is parallel to the plane.
A more general solution might be desired in this case, as other areas that
use `ED_view3d_win_to_3d_on_plane` might have the same problem.
For now, just work around the problem for the snap cursor.
|

There is an apparent compiler bug here, tweak the code to avoid it. This did
not affect official builds as we were still using Xcode 12.

Ref T92709
|
|
`ED_view3d_win_to_3d_on_plane` does not use the `clip_start` and
`clip_end` values of the scene, so the `do_clip` option can be misleading
especially in the orthographic view where the `clip_start` is negative.
For now, don't use the `do_clip` option in orthographic view.

`g_data_intern.state_default.gzgrp_type` is a very specific member and

This is very old and is unlikely to be useful in the near future.

The default snap behavior to perform on tools and cursors is to the
final geometry and not edited geometry.
In snapping to edited geometry, there are some specific behaviors that
are not convenient in some cases. For example the general occlusion
test of X-Ray geometries during dragdrop.
This fix also resolves a regression for tools like measure and placement
that were also ignoring the snap to face in x-ray mode.

Bug introduced in {rBaa0ac0035a0d}.
The invalid depth fallback was changed to `FLT_MAX` in order to match the
annotation and gpencil operations.
This broke the `Interactive Light Track` operator which invalidates the
operation if the depth value is `1.0f`.
The chosen solution was to change the value tested in the annotation and
gpencil operations.

This patch implements part of what was stated in {T66484}, with respect to `Base Point`.
## Introduction
The snapping feature of the transform tools has a variety of applications:
- Organization of nodes.
- Positioning of frames in precise time units.
- Retopology with snap to face
- Creation of armatures with bone positioning through the snap to volume
- Precise positioning of 3D or 2D objects in the surrounding geometry (CAD modeling)
The goal of this document is to make it more powerful for precision modeling and still supporting the old use cases without extra complexity.
The main topic addressed here is the introduction of a **interactive mode for setting a snap source** (See terminology).
## Terminology
* **Snap Source**: 3d coordinate * we want to snap from. (Currently defined by the `Snap With` options: `Closest`, `Center`, `Median` and `Active`).
* **Snap Target**: 3d coordinate* we want to snap to. (Vertices, Edges, Faces, Grid...)
## Interactive Mode for Editing a Snap Source
Currently the fixed snap point can only be obtained through the `Snap With` options. So it's a little tricky for the user to define a snap source point having so much geometry on an object.
Because of this, the user needs to resort to impractical solutions to get a point in the geometry.
See example of an impractical use:
{F11714181, layout=left, width=960, alt="The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap origin point."}
The user used the cursor (which can be snapped) to choose the snap source point.
While it is possible to work around this current limitation, it is important to reduce the number of steps and allow the user to set a snap source point through an optional interactive mode during a transformation.
The proposed solution is to be able to move the current snap source point through a modal modifier activated with a key (eg. B).
The snap source point can thus "snap" to the elements in the scene (vertex, mid-edge, Lamp, …) during this mode.
{F9122814, layout=left, width=960, alt="Base Point Snap, example of transform operation via the shortcut (not the tool). After pressing g and the snap base change shortcut (e.g., shift + ctrl) the user set the base point. The base point is then visible until the end of the operation. The z axis constrains the final position."}
## Implementation Details
- The feature will only be available in 3D View.
- The feature will only be available for `Move`, `Rotate` and `Scale` transform modes.
- The snap source editing will be enabled with a single click on the modifier key (B).
- Having a snap point indicated, the new snap origin point will be confirmed with the same buttons that confirms the transformation (but the transformation will not be concluded).
- The snap source editing can be canceled with the same key that activated it (B).
- If the transformation is done with "release_confirm" (common for gizmos), the new feature cannot be enabled.
- During the transformation, when enabling the feature, if the snap option is turned off in the scene, the snap will be forced on throughout the rest of the transformation (unless interactive mode is canceled).
- During a transformation, if no snap target is set for an element in the scene (Vertex, Grid...), the snap targets to geometry Vertex, Edge, Face, Center of Edge and Perpendicular of Edge will be set automatically.
- Snap cannot be turned off during the snap source editing.
- Constraint or similar modification features will not be available during the snap source editing.
- Text input will not be available during the snap source editing.
- When adding multiple snap points (A) the new prone snap source point will be indicated with an "X" drawing.

Apply a local-workaround instead of adding support for this use-case
since pre-selection isn't the intended purpose of gizmos.
This also resolves a glitch where poly-build and loop cut would
briefly show loop-cut or poly-build pre-selection after transforming.

Drop-boxes should act on the context determined through the exact cursor
location. There should be no need to override that, basically by the
nature of how drop-boxes work.
So Campbell and I agreed on removing this.
If we wanted to support it, we'd have to restore the operator context
when drawing drop-boxes, see
https://developer.blender.org/T92501#1247581.

Operations such as erasing with occlusion and drawing on the surface
require reading the depth buffer.
However, this is being done with minimal efficiency.
Currently, to read the depth corresponding to each point of the new stroke,
a ReadPixel is called to send a message to the GPU and read the depth of
the corresponding pixel in the VRAM.
The communication between GPU and CPU is known to be a slow operation so
it is good to be avoided.
Therefore, save the entire depth buffer in a cache to be read directly
from the RAM.
(Also the `ED_view3d_autodist_depth` and `ED_view3d_autodist_depth_seg` have
been removed since they are no longer used).
