This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

Previously, this option was not exposed in the UI, only for the clip editor.
There were also multiple rna properties that did the same thing for each of the 2D editors.
There was also an issue where the property enum items were the same as the 3d view which didnt make much sense.

This is a complete refactor over the old system. The goal was to increase quality
first and then have something more flexible and optimised.
|{F9603145} | {F9603142}|{F9603147}|
This fixes issues we had with the old system which were:
- Too much overdraw (low performance).
- Not enough precision in render targets (hugly color banding/drifting).
- Poor resolution near in-focus regions.
- Wrong support of orthographic views.
- Missing alpha support in viewport.
- Missing bokeh shape inversion on foreground field.
- Issues on some GPUs. (see T72489) (But I'm sure this one will have other issues as well heh...)
- Fix T81092
I chose Unreal's Diaphragm DOF as a reference / goal implementation.
It is well described in the presentation "A Life of a Bokeh" by Guillaume Abadie.
You can check about it here https://epicgames.ent.box.com/s/s86j70iamxvsuu6j35pilypficznec04
Along side the main implementation we provide a way to increase the quality by jittering the
camera position for each sample (the ones specified under the Sampling tab).
The jittering is dividing the actual post processing dof radius so that it fills the undersampling.
The user can still add more overblur to have a noiseless image, but reducing bokeh shape sharpness.
Effect of overblur (left without, right with):
| {F9603122} | {F9603123}|
The actual implementation differs a bit:
- Foreground gather implementation uses the same "ring binning" accumulator as background
but uses a custom occlusion method. This gives the problem of inflating the foreground elements
when they are over background or in-focus regions.
This is was a hard decision but this was preferable to the other method that was giving poor
opacity masks for foreground and had other more noticeable issues. Do note it is possible
to improve this part in the future if a better alternative is found.
- Use occlusion texture for foreground. Presentation says it wasn't really needed for them.
- The TAA stabilisation pass is replace by a simple neighborhood clamping at the reduce copy
stage for simplicity.
- We don't do a brute-force in-focus separate gather pass. Instead we just do the brute force
pass during resolve. Using the separate pass could be a future optimization if needed but
might give less precise results.
- We don't use compute shaders at all so shader branching might not be optimal. But performance
is still way better than our previous implementation.
- We mainly rely on density change to fix all undersampling issues even for foreground (which
is something the reference implementation is not doing strangely).
Remaining issues (not considered blocking for me):
- Slight defocus stability: Due to slight defocus bruteforce gather using the bare scene color,
highlights are dilated and make convergence quite slow or imposible when using jittered DOF
(or gives )
- ~~Slight defocus inflating: There seems to be a 1px inflation discontinuity of the slight focus
convolution compared to the half resolution. This is not really noticeable if using jittered
camera.~~ Fixed
- Foreground occlusion approximation is a bit glitchy and gives incorrect result if the
a defocus foreground element overlaps a farther foreground element. Note that this is easily
mitigated using the jittered camera position.
|{F9603114}|{F9603115}|{F9603116}|
- Foreground is inflating, not revealing background. However this avoids some other bugs too
as discussed previously. Also mitigated with jittered camera position.
|{F9603130}|{F9603129}|
- Sensor vertical fit is still broken (does not match cycles).
- Scattred bokeh shapes can be a bit strange at polygon vertices. This is due to the distance field
stored in the Bokeh LUT which is not rounded at the edges. This is barely noticeable if the
shape does not rotate.
- ~~Sampling pattern of the jittered camera position is suboptimal. Could try something like hammersley
or poisson disc distribution.~~Used hexaweb sampling pattern which is not random but has better
stability and overall coverage.
- Very large bokeh (> 300 px) can exhibit undersampling artifact in gather pass and quite a bit of
bleeding. But at this size it is preferable to use jittered camera position.
Codewise the changes are pretty much self contained and each pass are well documented.
However the whole pipeline is quite complex to understand from bird's-eye view.
Notes:
- There is the possibility of using arbitrary bokeh texture with this implementation.
However implementation is a bit involved.
- Gathering max sample count is hardcoded to avoid to deal with shader variations. The actual
max sample count is already quite high but samples are not evenly distributed due to the
ring binning method.
- While this implementation does not need 32bit/channel textures to render correctly it does use
many other textures so actual VRAM usage is higher than previous method for viewport but less
for render. Textures are reused to avoid many allocations.
- Bokeh LUT computation is fast and done for each redraw because it can be animated. Also the
texture can be shared with other viewport with different camera settings.

The adds a new option to simplify volumes in the viewport.
The setting can be found in the Simplify panel in the render properties.
Volume objects use OpenVDB grids, which are sparse. For rendering,
we have to convert sparse grids to dense grids (for now). Those require
significantly more memory. Therefore, it's often a good idea to reduce
the resolution of volumes in the viewport.

This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

Support custom-data correction based on surrounding geometry for all
transformation modes of the mesh transform operators.
The is the same logic used in Vert and Edge Slide.
In order not to change the current default behavior,
this property does not affect Vert and Edge Slide modes.

This revisit the render pipeline to support time slicing for better motion
blur.
We support accumulation with or without the Post-process motion blur.
If using the post-process, we reuse last step next motion data to avoid
another scene reevaluation.
This also adds support for hair motion blur which is handled in a similar
way as mesh motion blur.
The total number of samples is distributed evenly accross all timesteps to
avoid sampling weighting issues. For this reason, the sample count is
(internally) rounded up to the next multiple of the step count.
Only FX Motion BLur: {F8632258}
FX Motion Blur + 4 time steps: {F8632260}
FX Motion Blur + 32 time steps: {F8632261}

This adds object motion blur vectors for EEVEE as well as better noise
reduction for it.
For TAA reprojection we just compute the motion vector on the fly based on
camera motion and depth buffer. This makes possible to store another motion
vector only for the blurring which is not useful for TAA history fetching.
Motion Data is saved per object & per geometry if using deformation blur.
We support deformation motion blur by saving previous VBO and modifying the
actual GPUBatch for the geometry to include theses VBOs.
We store Previous and Next frame motion in the same motion vector buffer
(RG for prev and BA for next). This makes non linear motion blur (like
rotating objects) less prone to outward/inward blur.
We also improve the motion blur post process to expand outside the objects
border. We use a tile base approach and the max size of the blur is set via
a new render setting.
We use a background reconstruction method that needs another setting
(Background Separation).
Sampling is done using a fixed 8 dithered samples per direction. The final
render samples will clear the noise like other stochastic effects.
One caveat is that hair particles are not yet supported. Support will
come in another patch.

We implement cubemap array support for EEVEE's lightcache reflection probes.
This removes stretched texels and bottom hemisphere seams artifacts caused
by the octahedral projection previously used.
This introduce versioning code for the lightcache which will discard any
lightcache version that is not compatible.

This provides an API to access structs
with their members set to default values:
- DNA_struct_default_get(name)
- DNA_struct_default_alloc(name)
Currently this is only used for scene & view shading initialization,
eventually it can be used for RNA defaults and initializing
DNA struct members on file reading.
