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/).

'Private' can be a rather confusing term, especially when considering
its meaning in programming languages.
So now root node trees and master collections are 'embedded' IDs
instead.
Steps to reproduce were:
* Disable tool settings region in 3D View (View > Tool Settings)
* Split the 3D View and drag all the way down
The removed code doesn't seem to be needed anymore. Tested this on hiDPI
too, seems fine.
These kind of fixes are always tricky, so I wouldn't be surprised if
there are any issues caused by this.
This commit is a full refactor of the grease pencil modules including Draw Engine, Modifiers, VFX, depsgraph update, improvements in operators and conversion of Sculpt and Weight paint tools to real brushes.
Also, a huge code cleanup has been done at all levels.
Thanks to @fclem for his work and yo @pepeland and @mendio for the testing and help in the development.

The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.

There's a chance that this causes some issues becaue in some cases we
change from getting the window from context to getting it from somewhere
else.
Motivation the functions get 3 different kind of flag parameters (ImBuf,
DrawType, OffscreenRendering) the naming of the flags were not clear,
leading to mistakes and unnecessary time spend debugging.
- Keymap items now have 'repeat' boolean which can be set
to make keymap items respond to key repeat events or not.
- Support for X11 & WIN32 (not macOS currently).
This allows for the possibility to perform actions while a key is held
and finish the action upon release.
Thanks to @Severin for review and WIN32 support.
"session-wise" here mean while editing a same .blend file. So creating
or opening a new one will reset the uuid counter. This should avoid any
overflow in practice.
Only IDs added to Main database get an uuid, runtime-only ones are not
affected.
This is intended to provide undo with a way to find IDs across several
'memory realms' (undo speedup project).
No behavior change is expected from this commit itself.

While one issue of the report was fixed already (rB27adc4aa3347), still a
couple of clarifications could be made:
- correct/clarify which modes these apply to
- clarify that "Face Mask" is a paint thing

`invoke_props_dialog` and `invoke_popup` had a width and a height field. The height field was ignored as the height is determined based on the content. This change removes the field from the BPY + WM_api

NOTE: This change shouldn't have any visible effect. It's just the
first (easiest) step towards decoupling gizmo redraws from viewport
redraws.
We currently redraw the entire region whenever a gizmo needs redrawing,
which would be nice to avoid in the future, see T73198. The first step
towards this would be having a separate tag for them, which is what
this patch implements.
The term "editor-overlays" was chosen because for the forseeable future,
we'll also have to redraw non-gizmo overlays in-between drawing 3D and
2D gizmos. Namely annotations.

Using a struct here allows to change given parameters to the callbacks
without having to edit all callbacks functions, which is always noisy
and time consuming.
* Missing close dialog displayed to warn about unsaved changes.
* No reaction when the file was opened on a different desktop.
