In Cycles the volume transmittance is already composited into the color
passes. In Eevee the volume transmittance pass was separate and needed
to be composited in the compositor. This patch adds the volume
transmittance pass direct in the next render passes:
* Diffuse Color
* Specular Color
* Emission
* Environment
This patch includes the removal of the volume transmittance render pass.
It also renames the volume render passes to match Cycles. The setting
themselves aren't unified.

Cryptomatte is a standard to efficiently create mattes for compositing. The
renderer outputs the required render passes, which can then be used in the
compositor to create masks for specified objects. Unlike the Material and Object
Index passes, the objects to isolate are selected in compositing, and mattes
will be anti-aliased.
Cryptomatte was already available in Cycles this patch adds it to the EEVEE
render engine. Original specification can be found at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/master/specification/IDmattes_poster.pdf
**Accurate mode**
Following Cycles, there are two accuracy modes. The difference between the two
modes is the number of render samples they take into account to create the
render passes. When accurate mode is off the number of levels is used. When
accuracy mode is active, the number of render samples is used.
**Deviation from standard**
Cryptomatte specification is based on a path trace approach where samples and
coverage are calculated at the same time. In EEVEE a sample is an exact match on
top of a prepared depth buffer. Coverage is at that moment always 1. By sampling
multiple times the number of surface hits decides the actual surface coverage
for a matte per pixel.
**Implementation Overview**
When drawing to the cryptomatte GPU buffer the depth of the fragment is matched
to the active depth buffer. The hashes of each cryptomatte layer is written in
the GPU buffer. The exact layout depends on the active cryptomatte layers. The
GPU buffer is downloaded and integrated into an accumulation buffer (stored in
CPU RAM).
The accumulation buffer stores the hashes + weights for a number of levels,
layers per pixel. When a hash already exists the weight will be increased. When
the hash doesn't exists it will be added to the buffer.
After all the samples have been calculated the accumulation buffer is processed.
During this phase the total pixel weights of each layer is mapped to be in a
range between 0 and 1. The hashes are also sorted (highest weight first).
Blender Kernel now has a `BKE_cryptomatte` header that access to common
functions for cryptomatte. This will in the future be used by the API.
* Alpha blended materials aren't supported. Alpha blended materials support in
render passes needs research how to implement it in a maintainable way for any
render pass.

* T82571 Add render tests.

processing.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Surrounding includes with an 'extern "C"' block is not necessary anymore.
Also that made it harder to add any C++ code to some headers, or include headers
that have "optional" C++ code like `MEM_guardedalloc.h`.
I tested compilation on linux and windows (and got help from @LazyDodo).
If this still breaks compilation due to some linker error, the header containing
the symbol in question is probably missing an 'extern "C"' block.

Excluding a collection also changes the exclude setting on all child collections
so that it is possible to selectively enable some children without the parent
being enabled.
This change makes it so that if you unexclude the parent, the exclude setting
of children are restored again instead of being permanently lost.

This patch adds new render passes to EEVEE. These passes include:
* Emission
* Diffuse Light
* Diffuse Color
* Glossy Light
* Glossy Color
* Environment
* Volume Scattering
* Volume Transmission
* Bloom
* Shadow
With these passes it will be possible to use EEVEE effectively for
compositing. During development we kept a close eye on how to get similar
results compared to cycles render passes there are some differences that
are related to how EEVEE works. For EEVEE we combined the passes to
`Diffuse` and `Specular`. There are no transmittance or sss passes anymore.
Cycles will be changed accordingly.
Cycles volume transmittance is added to multiple surface col passes. For
EEVEE we left the volume transmittance as a separate pass.
Known Limitations
* All materials that use alpha blending will not be rendered in the render
passes. Other transparency modes are supported.
* More GPU memory is required to store the render passes. When rendering
a HD image with all render passes enabled at max extra 570MB GPU memory is
required.
Implementation Details
An overview of render passes have been described in
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Render/EEVEE/RenderPasses
Future Developments
* In this implementation the materials are re-rendered for Diffuse/Glossy
and Emission passes. We could use multi target rendering to improve the
render speed.
* Other passes can be added later
* Don't render material based passes when only requesting AO or Shadow.
* Add more passes to the system. These could include Cryptomatte, AOV's, Vector,
ObjectID, MaterialID, UV.

Users now can turn on in a viewport collections that are temporarily
hidden (eye) in the view layer.
Design task: T61327
As for the implementation, I had to decouple the visibility in the
depsgraph from the visibility in the view layer.
Also there is a "bug" that in a way was there before which is some
operators (e.g., writing a text inside of a text object, tab into edit
mode) run regardless of the visibility of the active object. The bug was
present already (with object type visibility restriction) in 2.80 so if
we decide to tackle it, can be done separately (I have a patch for it
though P1132).

Support per-viewport collection visibility options.
Note 1: There is no way to show a collection that was not visible before
due to depsgraph. Otherwise we would risk having all the collections in
the depsgraph and I believe this is not the idea.
An alternative would be to have a new depsgraph for viewports that are
not local. Something to keep in mind if we do per-viewport current frame
in the future.
So for now what we do is to only allow collections visibility to be
disabled/hidden in this mode.
Note 2: hide_viewport (the eye icon) doesn't really matter for
depsgraph. So after the merge we can still ignore it to show the
collections locally in a viewport with no problems for the depsgraph.

This allows to update base flags to a proper state then object's restriction
flags are changed, without requiring to re-evaluate an entire tree of flags.
Some old unused flags are were removed by this change, and also disabling
menu items might not work the same as before. This is something we can bring
back if it's really needed (the way how flags are handled did change since
that interface code was done anyway, so code was looking weird anyway).

No need to have iterator loop in the view layer evaluation,
this only makes it more difficult to have base flags covered

Other good thing is that we don't need to worry about whether

[re-committing]
We still control this in the viewport collections visibility menu. But
now we are actually changing the visibility of the collections, not of
the objects.
If a collection is indirectly invisible (because one of its parents are
invisible) we gray it out.
Also if you click directly in the collection names, it "isolates" the
collection by hiding all collections, and showing the direct parents and
all the children of the selected collection.
Development Note:
Right now I'm excluding the hidden collections from the depsgraph.
Thus the need for tagging relations to update.
If this proves to be too slow, we can change.

Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
|
|
With this we have a way to tell that a collection has visible objects
but not all of its objects are visible.

In the outliner, right click > view layer > set indirect only. This is
like clearing camera ray visibility on objects in the collection, and is
temporary until we have more general dynamic overrides.

In the outliner there are now icons for it, Ctrl+Click isolates a
single collections.
In the 3D view, Ctrl+H key opens a menu that is more or less the
equivalent of the old layer buttons in the header. Regular Click isolates
the collection, Shift+Click toggle the collection visibility. Pressing
number keys and letters works in this menu, which can help for quickly
selecting a specific collection.
Shortcuts for quick switching by just pressing 1/2/3/.. keys are available
again. The order can be confusing with nested collections, but that seems
unavoidable. The first numbers control the top level collections, and then
sub collections if numbers are left.
Remaining design issues:
* The 3D view menu needs to be improved: support for sub collections,
staying open on shift+click, access from the 3D view header somewhere,
shortcut key display.
* Currently collection hiding just controls per-object hiding, we plan
to separate this state still so alt+H doesn't affect collection hiding.
|
|
H hides selected objects, Shift+H hides unselected objects, and Alt+H
reveals hidden objects.
This hiding state is distinct from restrict viewport and render, and
meant for temporarily hiding objects without affecting more persistent
collection hiding.
Object hiding is per view-layer, same as selection. It affects the
viewport and any preview renders in there, but not final renders.
In the outliner, different icons are now used for temporary hiding, and
restrict viewport and render. Hidden objects are greyed out.
Remaining design issues:
* For lamps we probably still want to keep their effect on the scene,
currently they are fully disabled by hiding. Arguably mesh lights or
even objects being reflected or casting shadows are not that different
but perhaps the special lamp exception from local view should remain.
* We need a feature still to disabled this hiding for specific viewports,
for render or animation preview where you want to see the entire scene
while working in another view.
* We need a new icon for restrict viewport, for now it uses a grid similar
to the 2.4 icon.
* Hiding objects does not preserve selection state as it did in 2.7,
it's probably convenient to support this again?

OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

This will be handled by the new view layer override system which will
store data elsewhere, removing the code already for easier refactoring.
|
|
For some we may add per object overrides, but for most we plan to keep them
strictly per viewport settings. Display settings from the mesh still need to
be moved here, only collections were done to remove that code.
|
|
For the performance we convert object bases list to an array
during view layer evaluation. This makes it possible to have
very cheap index-based base lookup.
The goal of this change is to get rid of base used for function
binding, and avoid scene datablock expansion at the depsgraph
construction time.
|

This was not implemented yet. So it's a bit pointless to have all this
placeholder code around without any functionality coming out of it.

Users can change the group collection visibility in the outliner
when looking at groups.
Regular collections on the other hand don't have any special visibility control,
if you need a collection to be invisible during render, either don't link it
into the view layer used for F12, or disable it.
This includes:
* Updated unittests - update your lib/tests/layers folder.
* Subversion bump - branches be aware of that.
Note:
Although we are using eval_ctx to determine the visibility of a group collection
when rendering, the depsgraph is still using the same depsgraph for the viewport
and the render engine, so at the moment the render visibility is ignored.
Following next is a workaround for this separately to tag the groups before and
after rendering to tackle that.
|
|
Since we are ditching layers from Blender (2.8) we need a replacement to
control groups visibility. This commit introduces collections as the building
blocks for groups, allowing users to control visibility as well as overrides
for groups.
Features
========
* Groups now have collections
This way you can change the visibility of a collection inside a group, and add
overrides which are part of the group and are prioritized over other overrides.
* Outliner
Groups can inspect their collections, change visibility, and add/remove members.
To change an override of a group collection, you need to select an instance of
the group, and then you can choose "group" in the collection properties editor
to edit this group active collection instead of the view layer one.
* Dupli groups overrides
We can now have multiple instances of the same group with an original "override"
and different overrides depending on the collection the instanced object is part
of.
Technical
=========
* Layers
We use the same api for groups and scene as much as possible.
