This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

of setting the flag for every node only set the

Mostly the flag is used to set `ntype.flag = NODE_PREVIEW`

is only some compositor nodes and some texture nodes.
The frame node also sets the `NODE_BACKGROUND` flag.

This just moves the relations update to a lower level function that is used
by other functions. Eventually, the special case for this node should be
generalized.
|
|
This function node creates a running total of a given Vector, Float, or
Int field.
Inputs:
- Value: The field to be accumulated
- Group Index: The values of this input are used to aggregate the input
into separate 'bins', creating multiple accumulations.
Outputs:
- Leading and Trailing: Returns the running totals starting
at either the first value of each accumulations or 0 respectively.
- Total: Returns the total accumulation at all positions of the field.
There's currently plenty of duplicate work happening when multiple outputs
are used that could be optimized by a future refactor to field inputs.

Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

This patch refactors the instance-realization code and adds new functionality.
* Named and anonymous attributes are propagated from instances to the
realized geometry. If the same attribute exists on the geometry and on an
instance, the attribute on the geometry has precedence.
* The id attribute has special handling to avoid creating the same id on many
output points. This is necessary to make e.g. the Random Value node work
as expected afterwards.
Realizing instance attributes has an effect on existing files, especially due to the
id attribute. To avoid breaking existing files, the Realize Instances node now has
a legacy option that is enabled for all already existing Realize Instances nodes.
Removing this legacy behavior does affect some existing files (although not many).
We can decide whether it's worth to remove the old behavior as a separate step.
This refactor also improves performance when realizing instances. That is mainly
due to multi-threading. See D13446 to get the file used for benchmarking. The
curve code is not as optimized as it could be yet. That's mainly because the storage
for these attributes might change soonish and it wasn't worth optimizing for the
current storage format right now.

The const argument makes sense because these are the "source"
sockets, even though a const cast is necessary at one point.
The name "interface_socket" is an improvement over "stemp"

Cause of this issue is that Custom Node Sockets info type was
initialized as SOCK_FLOAT when registering. Areas within the core that
would ignore custom socket types by checking its type would use the
socket as being a float type.
When custom node sockets have a property called default_value blender
tries to store it as an internal default value what failed in debug
builds.
This patch will set the socket type to SOCK_CUSTOM when registering a
custom socket type and allow, but skip storage of custom default values.
In this case the default values should already be stored as custom
properies.

Currently, when creating a new node tree ID, its `typeinfo` is set to
`NodeTreeTypeUndefined`, but its `type` enum value is left to `0`,
aka `NTREE_SHADER`.
This patch adds a new `NTREE_UNDIFINED` value, and use it for
`NodeTreeTypeUndefined` types of node trees.
NOTE: While it is not clear whether that actually fixes issues currently,
quite a bit of code still relies on the value of `type`, so think it
makes sense to sanitize this.
NOTE: Would have been ideal to reserve `0` value to undefined type,
but at this point this is not possible anymore, so chose to use `-2` instead.

The viewer node has been expanded to have a field input next to the
geometry input. When both are connected (by ctrl+shift clicking on a node)
the spreadsheet will show the evaluated field on the geometry.
The operator to link to the viewer has become a bit smarter. It automatically
detects if it should link to the geometry or field input. In the future some more
smartness could be added, such as automatically relinking the "right" geometry
when viewing a field.
Internally, there are two major changes:
* Refactor of what happens when ctrl+shift clicking on a node to link to
a viewer. The behavior of the geometry nodes viewer is a bit more complex
than that of the compositor viewers. The behavior in compositing nodes
should not have changed. Any change should be reported as a bug (and then
we can decide if it's worse than before or if it needs fixing).
* Evaluation, display and caching of fields in the spreadsheet editor.

This adds a new image texture node for geometry nodes. It does not
reuse the same node that is used in shading, because we want to be
able to expose the image and frame as sockets.
There is a known update issue when a movie or image sequence is
used. That will be fixed separately (also see D12957).
Currently, the image socket is just a pointer to an Image ID data block.
This can contain single images but also movies and image sequences.
In the future, the definition of an image socket can be expanded to
include images that are generated from scratch in the node tree.
For more details read the discussion in D12827.
Some of the code is a direct port from cycles and should be cleaned
up a bit in the future. For example `image_cubic_texture_lookup`.
For still images, the frame input is ignored. Otherwise, the frame
has to be in a valid range for the node to work. In the future we
may add e.g. automatic looping functionality.

This commit adds an updated version of the old attribute transfer node.
It works like a function node, so it works in the context of a
geometry, with a simple data output.
The "Nearest" mode finds the nearest element of the specified domain on
the target geometry and copies the value directly from the target input.
The "Nearest Face Interpolated" finds the nearest point on anywhere on
the surface of the target mesh and linearly interpolates the value on
the target from the face's corners.
The node also has a new "Index" mode, which can pick data from specific
indices on the target geometry. The implicit default is to do a simple
copy from the target geometry, but any indices could be used. It is also
possible to use a single value for the index to to retrieve a single
value from an attribute at a certain index.

There is not enough time before the release to improve Random Walk to handle

Since there is no more path splitting in cycles-x, this can increase noise in

also. This is fundamentally a trade-off we made in the new design and why Random
Walk is a better fit. However the importance resampling we do now does help to

This commit adds nodes to do direct conversion between meshes and point
clouds in geometry nodes. The conversion from mesh to points is helpful
to instance once per face, or once per edge, which was previously only
possibly with ugly work-arounds. Fields can be evaluated on the mesh
to pass them to the points with the attribute capture node.
The other conversion, point cloud to mesh vertices, is a bit less
obvious, though it is still a common request from users. It's helpful
for flexibility when passing data around, better visualization in the
viewport (and in the future, cycles), and the simplicity of points.
This is a step towards T91754, where point clouds are currently
combined with meshes when outputing to the next modifier after geometry
nodes. Since we're removing the implicit behavior for realizing
instances, it feels natural to use an explicit node to convert points
to vertices too.

This patch allows passing a field to the modifier as output. In the

output domain is selected in the node group itself. We might want
to add this functionality to the modifier later as well, but not now.

There are cases where there is no way to ensure we do have/know about an
active scene. Further more, this should not be required to perform
'real' updates on data, only to perform additional special handling in
current scene (mostly related to editing tools, UI, etc.).
This pointer is actually almost never used in practice, and half of its current
usages are fairly close to abuse of the system (like calls to
`ED_gpencil_tag_scene_gpencil` or `BKE_rigidbody_cache_reset`).
This commit ensures that the few places using this 'active scene' pointer are
safely handling the `NULL` case, and clearly document the fact that a
NULL scene pointer is valid.

This node replaces the deprecated Attribute Randomize node, populating
a vector, float, integer or boolean field with random values. Vector,

The boolean type has a probability value for controlling what portion

which is implicitly driven by the index, otherwise, all values would
be the same "random" value.
The Random Float node is now deprecated like other nodes, since it is
redundant with this node.
