A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
Implements #95967.
Currently the `MPoly` struct is 12 bytes, and stores the index of a
face's first corner and the number of corners/verts/edges. Polygons
and corners are always created in order by Blender, meaning each
face's corners will be after the previous face's corners. We can take
advantage of this fact and eliminate the redundancy in mesh face
storage by only storing a single integer corner offset for each face.
The size of the face is then encoded by the offset of the next face.
The size of a single integer is 4 bytes, so this reduces memory
usage by 3 times.
The same method is used for `CurvesGeometry`, so Blender already has
an abstraction to simplify using these offsets called `OffsetIndices`.
This class is used to easily retrieve a range of corner indices for
each face. This also gives the opportunity for sharing some logic with
curves.
Another benefit of the change is that the offsets and sizes stored in
`MPoly` can no longer disagree with each other. Storing faces in the
order of their corners can simplify some code too.
Face/polygon variables now use the `IndexRange` type, which comes with
quite a few utilities that can simplify code.
Some:
- The offset integer array has to be one longer than the face count to
avoid a branch for every face, which means the data is no longer part
of the mesh's `CustomData`.
- We lose the ability to "reference" an original mesh's offset array
until more reusable CoW from #104478 is committed. That will be added
in a separate commit.
- Since they aren't part of `CustomData`, poly offsets often have to be
copied manually.
- To simplify using `OffsetIndices` in many places, some functions and
structs in headers were moved to only compile in C++.
- All meshes created by Blender use the same order for faces and face
corners, but just in case, meshes with mismatched order are fixed by
versioning code.
- `MeshPolygon.totloop` is no longer editable in RNA. This API break is
necessary here unfortunately. It should be worth it in 3.6, since
that's the best way to allow loading meshes from 4.0, which is
important for an LTS version.

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
These `ME_POLY_LOOP_PREV` are redundant, since they're similar to
the `poly_corner_prev` inline functions. They were also confusing,
since they took an index into the poly and returned an index into
the entire corner range. Instead structure code to use the function
version, and simplify some loops in the process.
Implements #102359.
Split the `MLoop` struct into two separate integer arrays called
`corner_verts` and `corner_edges`, referring to the vertex each corner
is attached to and the next edge around the face at each corner. These
arrays can be sliced to give access to the edges or vertices in a face.
Then they are often referred to as "poly_verts" or "poly_edges".
The main benefits are halving the necessary memory bandwidth when only
one array is used and simplifications from using regular integer indices
instead of a special-purpose struct.
The commit also starts a renaming from "loop" to "corner" in mesh code.
Like the other mesh struct of array refactors, forward compatibility is
kept by writing files with the older format. This will be done until 4.0
to ease the transition process.
Looking at a small portion of the patch should give a good impression
for the rest of the changes. I tried to make the changes as small as
possible so it's easy to tell the correctness from the diff. Though I
found Blender developers have been very inventive over the last decade
when finding different ways to loop over the corners in a face.
For performance, nearly every piece of code that deals with `Mesh` is
slightly impacted. Any algorithm that is memory bottle-necked should
see an improvement. For example, here is a comparison of interpolating
a vertex float attribute to face corners (Ryzen 3700x):
**Before** (Average: 3.7 ms, Min: 3.4 ms)
```
threading::parallel_for(loops.index_range(), 4096, [&](IndexRange range) {
for (const int64_t i : range) {
dst[i] = src[loops[i].v];
}
});
```
**After** (Average: 2.9 ms, Min: 2.6 ms)
```
array_utils::gather(src, corner_verts, dst);
```
That's an improvement of 28% to the average timings, and it's also a
simplification, since an index-based routine can be used instead.
For more examples using the new arrays, see the design task.

With the goal of clearly differentiating between arrays and single
elements, improving consistency across Blender, and using wording
that's easier to read and say, change variable names for Mesh edges
and polygons/faces.
Common renames are the following, with some extra prefixes, etc.
- `mpoly` -> `polys`
- `mpoly`/`mp`/`p` -> `poly`
- `medge` -> `edges`
- `med`/`ed`/`e` -> `edge`
`MLoop` variables aren't affected because they will be replaced
when they're split up into to arrays in #104424.
Whether faces are hidden and face sets are orthogonal concepts, but
currently sculpt mode stores them together in the face set array.
This means that if anything is hidden, there must be face sets,
and if there are face sets, we have to keep track of what is hidden.
In other words, it adds a bunch of redundant work and state tracking.
On the user level it's nice that face sets and hiding are consistent,
but we don't need to store them together to accomplish that.
This commit uses the `".hide_poly"` attribute from rB2480b55f216c to
read and change hiding in sculpt mode. Face sets don't need to be
negative anymore, and a bunch of "face set <-> hide status" conversion
can be removed. Plus some other benefits:
- We don't need to allocate either array quite as much.
- The hide status can be read from 1/4 the memory as face sets.
- Updates when entering or exiting sculpt mode can be removed.
- More opportunities for early-outs when nothing is hidden.
- Separating concerns makes sculpt code more obvious.
- It will be easier to convert face sets into a generic int attribute.

This brush fixes the random spikes that
occasionally happen in multires models.
These spikes can be nearly impossible to
fix manually and can make working with
multires a nightmare.
This brush deletes displacement information of the Multires Modifier,
resetting the mesh to the subdivision limit surface.
This can be use to easily delete parts of the sculpt or to fix
reprojection artifacts after applying a shrinkwrap.

This implements the SCULPT_vertex_is_boundary and SCULPT_vertex_has_unique_face_set functions for PBVH_GRIDS, which makes features such as automasking now work in multires. It also fixes some other face sets related features in multires, like face set boundary smoothing.
This uses the BKE_subdiv_ccg_coarse_mesh_adjacency_info_get function to get the vertex indicies in the base mesh from multires. This way the API functions can get topology or face set information directly from it. In the future, these vertex indices can be used to get any other information from the base mesh from multires, like seams, sharp edges, disconnected elements IDs...

Is lazily-initialized array owned by the SubdivCCG. Allows to access
index of a first grid of a given face in the flat array of grids.
Currently unused, but is needed for multires bake.
This implements the Sculpt Mode API functions needed for Face Sets and
visibility management for PBVH_GRIDS. No major changes were needed in
the operators and the sculpt mode code. This implementation stores the
face sets in the base mesh, so faces created in higher subdivision
levels can't be modified individually. Also, we are not checking for
multiple face sets per vertex (that can be added in the future), so
relax tools don't work yet. The rest of the features (paint, undo,
visibility operators..) work as expected.

On CCG side it is done similar to displacement, where we have
a dedicated functor which evaluates displacement. Might be seemed
as an overkill, but allows to decouple SubdivCCG from mesh entirely,
and maybe even free up coarse mesh in order to save some memory.
Some weak-looking aspect is the call to update normals from the
draw manager. Ideally, the manager will only draw what is already
evaluated. But it's a bit tricky to find a best place for this since
we avoid dependency graph updates during sculpt as much as possible.
The new code mimics the old code, this is how it was in 2.7.

Display statistics from CCG structure.
This makes values to be different from what is shown in object
mode, since CCG is operating on individual grids, and object
mode will stitch those grids. But on another, those values from
CCG is what sculpt mode is actually "sees" or "uses".
The number of faces should be the same in both sculpt and object
modes.
This information is stored for each non-loose edge.
For each of such edge we store:
- List of CCG faces it is adjacent to.
This way we can easily check whether it is adjacent to
any face which is tagged for update or so.
- List of boundary elements from adjacent grids.
This allows to traverse along the edge and average all
adjacent grids.
This makes it so coordinates and normals for CCG are calculated
with mutires displacement taken into account. This solves issues
with multires displacement being lost when entering sculpt mode.
The missing part is averaging of normals along grid boundaries.
But even then sculpting shows decent results.
The plan to solve that would be to introduce function to stitch
grids, which can also be used by Smooth brush which requires
this.
Allows to go to sculpt mode, do brush strokes, get out of sculpt mode
and have deformation preserved.
The issues currently is that the current implementation of CCG
storage is created from the limit surface, without displacement
taken into account. It is trivial to get displaced coordinates,
but it is more tricky to get displaced normals. This is something
to be solved next.
Another limitation is that this only works for sculpting at a maximal
multires level. There is code to be done to support propagation
of displacement onto a higher levels.
