Currently there is a "calc_face_normal" argument to mesh to bmesh
conversion, but vertex normals had always implicitly inherited whatever
dirty state the mesh input's vertex normals were in. Probably they were
most often assumed to not be dirty, but this was never really correct in
the general case.
Ever since the refactor to move vertex normals out of mesh vertices,
cfa53e0fbeed7178c7, the copying logic has been explicit: copy the
normals when they are not dirty. But it turns out that more control is
needed, and sometimes normals should be calculated for the resulting
BMesh.
This commit adds an option to the conversion to calculate vertex
normals, true by default. In almost all places except the decimate
and edge split modifiers, I just copied the value of the
"calc_face_normals" argument.

Since 3b6ee8cee7080af20, a list of vertex groups cannot be retrieved
from curve objects for merging because curve objects do not support
vertex groups. Previously the empty list on the object was returned.
Only mesh objects are supported for the caps.

In some cases, the normal edit modifier calculated the normals on one
mesh with the "ensure" functions, then copied the mesh and retrieved
the layers "for write" on the copy. Since 59343ee1627f4c369e23, normal
layers are never copied, and normals are allocated with malloc instead
of calloc, so the mutable memory was uninitialized.
Fix by calculating normals on the correct mesh, and also add a warning
to the "for write" functions in the header.

These features are complicated to support on GPU and hardly compatible
with subdivision in the first place. In the future, with T68891 and
T68893, subdivision and custom smooth shading will be separate workflows.
For now, and to better prepare for this future (although long term
plan), we should discourage workflows mixing subdivision and custom
smooth normals, and as such, this disables GPU subdivision when
autosmoothing or custom split normals are used.
This also adds a message in the modifier's UI to indicate that GPU
subdivision will be disabled if autosmooth or custom split normals are
used on the mesh.

It's better not to expose the details of where the dirty flags are
stored to every place that wants to know if the normals are dirty.
Some of these places are relics from before vertex normals were
computed lazily anyway, so this is more of an incrememtal cleanup.
This will make part of the fix for T95839 simpler.

The crash is caused as we did not check that the RNA pointer is null
before trying to use it. This moves the existing checks from the

Technically, this can't be relied upon in the long term. It worked more or
less accidentally before. It was broken by a previous fix accidentally. I mainly
bring it back because rBa985f558a6eb16cd6f0 was not expected to have
this side effect.
Note, this change can result in slower performance. Writing to a vertex
groups is less efficient than using a generic attribute.

The issue was happening with a specific file where the ID management
code was not fully copying all modifiers because of the extra check
in the `BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check()`.
While it is arguable that copy-on-write should be a 1:1 copy there is
no real need to maintain the per-modifier pointer to its original.
Use its SessionUUID to perform lookup in the original datablock.
Downside of this approach is that it is a linear lookup instead of
direct pointer access, but the upside is that there is less pointers
to manage and that the file with unsupported modifiers does behave
correct without any asserts.

This refactors how output attributes are computed in the geometry
nodes modifier. Previously, all output attributes were computed one
after the other. Every attribute was stored on the geometry directly
after computing it. The issue was that other output attributes might
depend on the already overwritten attributes, leading to unexpected
behavior.
The solution is to compute all output attributes first before changing the
geometry. Under specific circumstances, this refactor can result in a speedup,
because output attributes on the same domain are evaluated together now.
Overwriting existing might have become a bit slower, because we write the
attribute into new buffer instead of using the existing one.

The vertex and face normals from the input mesh
were used to calculate the normals on the result,
which could cause a crash because the result should
be about twice as large.
Also remove an unnecessary dirty tag, since it is handled
automatically when creating a new mesh or in the case
of the mirror modifier, when calculating the new custom

This commit moves the weld modifier code to the geometry module
so that it can be used in the "Merge by Distance" geometry node
from ec1b0c2014a8b91c2. The "All" mode is exposed in the node
for now, though we could expose the "Connected" mode in the future.
The modifier itself is responsible for creating the selections from
the vertex group. The "All" mode takes an `IndexMask` for the
selection, and the "Connected" mode takes a boolean array,
since it actually iterates over all edges.
Some disabled code for a BVH mode has not been copied over,
it's still accessible through the patches and git history anyway,
and it made the port slightly simpler.

The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing
other evaluated IDs such as materials.
It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be
re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing
bugs like
T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render
The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in
the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following:
- It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report.
- Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh
is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level.
This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with
an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before
the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all
objects which share the mesh).
There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to
allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows
with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored
by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW
operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are
not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in
the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph.
There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes:
should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption.
Tested scenarios:
- Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the
same scene.
- Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359
This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.

This patch introduces an extrude node with three modes. The vertex mode
is quite simple, and just attaches new edges to the selected vertices.
The edge mode attaches new faces to the selected edges. The faces mode
extrudes patches of selected faces, or each selected face individually,
depending on the "Individual" boolean input.
The default value of the "Offset" input is the mesh's normals, which
can be scaled with the "Offset Scale" input.
**Attribute Propagation**
Attributes are transferred to the new elements with specific rules.
Attributes will never change domains for interpolations. Generally
boolean attributes are propagated with "or", meaning any connected
"true" value that is mixed in for other types will cause the new value
to be "true" as well. The `"id"` attribute does not have any special
handling currently.
Vertex Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of selected vertices.
- Edge: Averaged values of selected edges. For booleans, edges are
selected if any connected edges are selected.
Edge Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected extruded
edges. For booleans, the edges are selected if any connected
extruded edges are selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of selected edges.
- Face: Averaged values of all faces connected to the selected edge.
For booleans, faces are selected if any connected original faces
are selected.
- Corner: Averaged values of corresponding corners in all faces
connected to selected edges. For booleans, corners are selected
if one of those corners are selected.
Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected selected
edges, not including the edges "on top" of extruded regions.
For booleans, edges are selected when any connected extruded edges
were selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
Individual Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of the two neighboring
edges on each extruded face. For booleans, edges are selected
when at least one neighbor on the extruded face was selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
**Differences from edit mode**
In face mode (non-individual), the behavior can be different than the
extrude tools in edit mode-- this node doesn't handle keeping the back-
faces around in the cases that the edit mode tools do. The planned
"Solidify" node will handle that use case instead. Keeping this node
simpler and faster is preferable at this point, especially because that
sort of "smart" behavior is not that predictable and makes less sense
in a procedural context.
In the future, an "Even Offset" option could be added to this node
hopefully fairly simply. For now it is left out in order to keep
the patch simpler.
**Implementation**
For the implementation, the `Mesh` data structure is used directly
rather than converting to `BMesh` and back like D12224. This optimizes
for large extrusion operations rather than many sequential extrusions.
While this is potentially more verbose, it has some important benefits:
First, there is no conversion to and from `BMesh`. The code only has
to fill arrays and it can do that all at once, making each component of
the algorithm much easier to optimize. It also makes the attribute
interpolation more explicit, and likely faster. Only limited topology
maps must be created in most cases.
While there are some necessary loops and allocations with the size of
the entire mesh, I tried to keep everything I could on the order of the
size of the selection rather than the size of the mesh. In that respect,
the individual faces mode is the best, since there is no topology
information necessary, and the amount of work just depends on the size
of the selection.
Modifying an existing mesh instead of generating a new one was a bit
of a toss-up, but has a few potential benefits:
- Avoids manually copying over attribute data for original elements.
- Avoids some overhead of creating a new mesh.
- Can potentially take advantage of future ammortized mesh growth.
This could be changed easily if it turns out to be the wrong choice.

This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.

Code that handled merging & initializing custom-data from other
meshes sometimes missed checks for this flag, causing bevel weights to
lost when the mesh was converted to a BMesh.
The following changes are a more general fix for T94197.
- Add BM_mesh_copy_init_customdata_from_mesh_array which initializes
custom-data from multiple meshes at once.
As well as initializing custom-data layers from Mesh.cd_flag.
This isn't essential for boolean, however it avoids the overhead of
resizing custom-data layers.
- Loading mesh data into a BMesh now respects Mesh.cd_flag
instead of only checking if the BMesh custom-data-layer exists.
Without this, the order of meshes passed to BM_mesh_bm_from_me could
give different (incorrect) results.
- Copying mesh data now copies `cd_flag` too. This is a precaution
as in my tests evaluating modifiers these values always matched.
Nevertheless it's correct to copy this value as custom-data it's
self is being copied.
|
|
For boolean operations only one of the meshes was checked to determine
if bevel weights should be created.
Now initialize custom data from both meshes flag.
Note that this is a localized fix to be back-ported, further changes
will be made so edit-mode conversion accounts for this
without the caller needing explicit checks for custom-data flags.

Override layers are a standard feature of Alembic, where archives can override
data from other archives, provided that the hierarchies match.
This is useful for modifying a UV map, updating an animation, or even creating
some sort of LOD system where low resolution meshes are swapped by high resolution
versions.
It is possible to add UV maps and vertex colors using this system, however, they
will only appear in the spreadsheet editor when viewing evaluated data, as the UV
map and Vertex color UI only show data present on the original mesh.
Implementation wise, this adds a `CacheFileLayer` data structure to the `CacheFile`
DNA, as well as some operators and UI to present and manage the layers. For both
the Alembic importer and the Cycles procedural, the main change is creating an
archive from a list of filepaths, instead of a single one.
After importing the base file through the regular import operator, layers can be added
to or removed from the `CacheFile` via the UI list under the `Override Layers` panel
located in the Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. Layers can also be moved around or
hidden.

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 patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy

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

####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

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 @Howard Trickey (howardt) opinion on the matter.
- The noexcept on the copy constructor of mpq(2|3) is being removed.
But according to @Jacques Lucke (JacquesLucke) it is not a real problem
for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @Jacques Lucke (JacquesLucke) who
helped during this and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

MSVC used to warn about const mismatch for arguments passed by value.
Remove these as newer versions of MSVC no longer show this warning.

Currently, a node either supports lazyness during execution (like the Switch
node), or it doesn't. If it does support lazyness, then every input is computed
lazily. However, usually not all inputs actually have to be computed lazily.
E.g. the boolean switch input is always required, while the other inputs
should be computed lazily.
Better support for such sockets can avoid unnecessary round trips through
the node execution function.

At the time of allocating the buffer with vertices in context, we don't
know exactly how many vertices are affected, but we do know that it is
less than or equal to twice the number of vertices killed.

The array modifier does not necessarily tag normals dirty.
If it doesnt, normals are recalculated "internally" using the offset ob
transform. This was happening for the array items, but not for the caps.
Now do the same thing for caps.

I had assumed that the span's size was the same as the length variable.
In the future, separate lengths could be removed in favor of using
lengths directly from spans.

This improves code readability.
Take the opportunity and improve the comments too.

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.

This adds `blender::is_same_any_v` which is the almost the same as
`std::is_same_v`. The difference is that it allows for checking multiple
types at the same time.
