NOTE: While most of the milestone 1 goals are there, a few smaller features and
improvements are still to be done.
Big picture of this milestone: Initial, OpenXR-based virtual reality support
for users and foundation for advanced use cases.
Maniphest Task: https://developer.blender.org/T71347
The tasks contains more information about this milestone.
To be clear: This is not a feature rich VR implementation, it's focused on the
initial scene inspection use case. We intentionally focused on that, further
features like controller support are part of the next milestone.
- How to use?
Instructions on how to use this are here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/How_to_Test
These will be updated and moved to a more official place (likely the manual) soon.
Currently Windows Mixed Reality and Oculus devices are usable. Valve/HTC
headsets don't support the OpenXR standard yet and hence, do not work with this
implementation.
---------------
This is the C-side implementation of the features added for initial VR
support as per milestone 1. A "VR Scene Inspection" Add-on will be
committed separately, to expose the VR functionality in the UI. It also
adds some further features for milestone 1, namely a landmarking system
(stored view locations in the VR space)
Main additions/features:
* Support for rendering viewports to an HMD, with good performance.
* Option to sync the VR view perspective with a fully interactive,
regular 3D View (VR-Mirror).
* Option to disable positional tracking. Keeps the current position (calculated
based on the VR eye center pose) when enabled while a VR session is running.
* Some regular viewport settings for the VR view
* RNA/Python-API to query and set VR session state information.
* WM-XR: Layer tying Ghost-XR to the Blender specific APIs/data
* wmSurface API: drawable, non-window container (manages Ghost-OpenGL and GPU
context)
* DNA/RNA for management of VR session settings
* `--debug-xr` and `--debug-xr-time` commandline options
* Utility batch & config file for using the Oculus runtime on Windows.
* Most VR data is runtime only. The exception is user settings which are saved
to files (`XrSessionSettings`).
* VR support can be disabled through the `WITH_XR_OPENXR` compiler flag.

A few thank you's:
* A huge shoutout to Ray Molenkamp for his help during the project - it would
have not been that successful without him!
* Sebastian Koenig and Simeon Conzendorf for testing and feedback!
* The reviewers, especially Brecht Van Lommel!
* Dalai Felinto for pushing and managing me to get this done ;)
* The OpenXR working group for providing an open standard. I think we're the
first bigger application to adopt OpenXR. Congratulations to them and
ourselves :)
This project started as a Google Summer of Code 2019 project - "Core Support of
Virtual Reality Headsets through OpenXR" (see
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/).
Some further information, including ideas for further improvements can be found
in the final GSoC report:

It makes no sense to load add-ons here, we already do that (in a more
complete way) in load_addons test, this is only adding overhead and
doubling code to maintain).
Also do not try to load-as-modules add-ons that are not 2.8-ready, and
some other misc fix.
load_py_modules test should be passing again now.
Thanks to @sergey who did part of the work here as well.

Copy-pasted mistake in tests and tools.
|
|
This could make output really polluted, where it'll be hard to see actual
issues.
It is still possible to have all backtraces printed using BLENDER_VERBOSE
environment variable.

It tried to assert that
addons/io_blend_utils/blender_bam-unpacked.whl/__init__.py was loaded when
the io_blend_utils module was imported. However, this happens only on
demand, and not directly when importing the add-on.
|
|
This is more efficient, and this use case is exactly what the else clause
is for.
|
|
- scripts that execute directly need to include their basedir in the sys.path
- modules which are in a directory without an __init__.py weren't importing.

default_set argument is now False for both.
|
|
Recent addons commit meant that addons would be enabled even if they weren't found.
This would give an error (which is fine), but also remove from preferences.
|
|
Too many contrib addons are in an unstable state making the test not so useful.
Thanks to Sergey initial patch: D1012, redid mostly - but outcome is the same.
