There were two reasons the USD Exporter was listed as experimental:
- Originally there was no deduplication of mesh normals & UV coordinates
(resolved in rBf5e00f735106b5ec635806a4c795a2bc46ae8369), and
- the way materials were exported was incompatible with instancing with
USD 19.07. This seems to be resolved with the current version of USD
(19.11).
Blender (more specifically, `makesdna`) doesn't seem to like empty DNA
structs, so I couldn't remove all properties from
`UserDef_Experimental`. Instead I have just kept `char _pad0[8]`.

This defaults to selection when not using a gizmo.
The previous behavior to drag anywhere can be set in the tool settings
or by selecting the fallback tool (Alt-W).
See: T66304

The fallback tool was run-time only data,
now it's stored in the blend file.

Previously the alpha was hardcoded to 0.7. Now it is possible to control
the cursor alpha by changing the alpha color of the cursor color
property. New alpha default is 0.9. This, with the new saturated colors,
should make the cursor more visible on highdpi screens.
I also removed the cache location preview as it is too visible right now
with the new alpha and color values.

Currently the action channels are applied after the existing
transformation, as if the action controlled a child of the
bone. This is not very natural, but more importantly, the
transform tools are not designed to work conveniently with an
additional 'pseudo-child' transformation, resulting in effects
like an unexpected pivot location.
Implementing a Before mode that integrates the action channels
as if applied to a parent allows using the special transform
tool code intended for dealing with such constraints.
Note that in either mode, Action constraints should be added
in reverse order, putting a new constraint before the existing
ones that the Action was keyframed to work together.
In order to implement the option, extract a utility from
the Copy Transform constraint code for combining transforms
with special anti-shear scale handling that matches the
Aligned Inherit Scale mode.
The Before mode also requires switching the constraint to
the Local owner space, while the After mode can still use the
World space for efficiency as before. Since the constraint
doesn't have an Owner space option in the UI, this has to be
handled in an RNA setter.
For full backward compatibility, the original simple matrix
multiplication mode is preserved as the third option, but it
is not recommended due to creating shear.

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

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

Viewport: Disable Clipping For EEVEE and External Renderers
Currently it is possible that, when using viewport clipping, the display and tools communicate
different information to the user then the renderer does. The reason is
that the renderer does not support viewport clipping. Both EEVEE and
Cycles do not support it.
This patch will disable the clipping in all the tools and drawing code
when the viewport drawing mode is `Material Preview` or `Rendered`.
This patch introduces a `RV3D_CLIPPING_ENABLED` util that checks if
clipping is enabled for the given `rv3d` and `v3d`. Also in places where
it was needed we added the `ViewContext` as a carrier for the `View3D`
and `RegionView3D`.
There are a few areas in the tooling (select, projection painting) that
still needs to be tackled after this patch.

settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.

with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.

Some other areas in the brush code outside sculpt mode assume that
pressure is multiplied directly on top of the initial size. This patch
calculates the pixel radius correctly using the brush size from sculpt
mode to get the dyntopo detail size.
When the new brush input system is in place, all these values will come
directly from the brush input code with all the custom curves applied
per brush, so all paint modes will have a correct brush behavior and all
this sculpt mode specific code won't be necessary.

When creating shaders and using maths functions it is expected that Blender should match functions in other DCC applications, game engines and shading languages such as GLSL and OSL.
This patch adds missing functions to the Blender maths node.
Ideally, it would be nice to have these functions available to vectors too but that is not part of this patch.
This patch adds the following functions trunc, snap, wrap, compare, pingpong, sign, radians, degrees, cosh, sinh, tanh, exp, smoothmin and inversesqrt.
Sign function is based on GLSL and OSL functions and returns zero when x == 0.

This is the unification of all overlays into one overlay engine as described in T65347.
I went over all the code making it more future proof with less hacks and removing old / not relevent parts.
Goals / Acheivements:
- Remove internal shader usage (only drw shaders)
- Remove viewportSize and viewportSizeInv and put them in gloabl ubo
- Fixed some drawing issues: Missing probe option and Missing Alt+B clipping of some shader
- Remove old (legacy) shaders dependancy (not using view UBO).
- Less shader variation (less compilation time at first load and less patching needed for vulkan)
- removed some geom shaders when I could
- Remove static e_data (except shaders storage where it is OK)
- Clear the way to fix some anoying limitations (dithered transparency, background image compositing etc...)
- Wireframe drawing now uses the same batching capabilities as workbench & eevee (indirect drawing).
- Reduced complexity, removed ~3000 Lines of code in draw (also removed a lot of unused shader in GPU).
- Post AA to avoid complexity and cost of MSAA.
Remaining issues:
- ~~Armature edits, overlay toggles, (... others?) are not refreshing viewport after AA is complete~~
- FXAA is not the best for wires, maybe investigate SMAA
- Maybe do something more temporally stable for AA.
- ~~Paint overlays are not working with AA.~~
- ~~infront objects are difficult to select.~~
- ~~the infront wires sometimes goes through they solid counterpart (missing clear maybe?) (toggle overlays on-off when using infront+wireframe overlay in solid shading)~~
Note: I made some decision to change slightly the appearance of some objects to simplify their drawing. Namely the empty arrows end (which is now hollow/wire) and distance points of the cameras/spots being done by lines.

This patch will allow the user to select the EEVEE renderpass to be
shown in the viewport by default the combined pass will be shown.
Limitations:
* Viewport rendering stores the result in a `RenderResult`. RenderResult
is not aware of the type of data it holds. In many places where RenderResult
is used it is assumed that it stores a combined pass and the display+view
transform are applied.
I will propose to fix this in a future patch. But that is still being

The relation between the pressure/size and the pressure/alpha is a
fundamental property that defines the behavior of a brush, so it does
not make sense to have it unified across all brushes. This applies both
for sculpting and painting.
Some of the new 2.82 brushes need pressure/size or pressure/alpha to be
enabled to work propely, while others don't. Users should not be
switching on and off this property manually when changing brushes if they
want to use unified size. This is also causing that some users are using
the brushes with an incorrect configuration.

When introducing "drag-all-selected" support all over Blender, we
figured this wouldn't work well with the Graph Editor
selection/transform behavior.
Hence, William and I worked on the following changes, although we used
this chance to improve the behavior in general too.
For more info see T70634.
* Handles now always move with the key, regardless if they are selected
or not.
* Selecting the key doesn't select the handles anymore, their selection
is separate.
* Multiple keys and handles can now be dragged.
* Dragging a handle moves all selected handles **on the same side**.
* Tweak-dragging any handle can never affect any keyframe location,
only handles.
* G/R/S should behave as before.
* Changing the handle type with a key selected always applies the change
to both handles.
* Box selection with Ctrl+Drag now allows deselecting handles (used to
act on entire triple only).
* Box selection //Include Handles// option now only acts on visible
handles, wasn't the case with Only Selected Keyframes Handles enabled.
* Box selection //Include Handles// is now enabled by default in all
bundled keymaps.
The changes have been tested for some days by the animators here in the
Blender Animation Studio. Some changes are based on their feedback.
Also, this improves/adds comments for related code.
