The previous commit introduced all the basic bits and pieces necessary
to support asset shelves as experimental feature, but didn't actually
add support for any specific editor. With this commit asset shelves can
be registered in 3D Views, which should soon be used by the Pose Library
add-on to replace its previous UI in the sidebar (see
blender/blender-addons#104546). Note that until then, there will still be no
actual asset shelf to display.
Also adds:
- Toggle to hide/unhide the asset shelf under "View" -> "Asset Shelf"
- 3D View theme settings for the asset shelf regions.
None of the changes are visible if the experimental option for the asset
shelf is not enabled.
Approved as part of #104831, then split off as separate commit.

This is a Step 1 of the AgX project integration, which is focused on cleaning
up legacy aspects of the configuration.
Delete all not longer used colorspaces and their LUT files. This includes:
nuke_rec709, lg10, XYZ display device and its standard view colorspace.
The nuke_rec709, lg10 were not used, and the XYZ display device was initially
added to support output for a DCP compliant J2K files. Unfortunately, some of
the crucial transform was missing from this initial configuration, so often a
custom OCIO configuration was needed. With the addition of Filmic and now with
AgX this really became not-so-usable use-case. Also, there is no display device
which is XYZ and on which Blender can realistically run.
The None display device has duplicated functionality as the Raw view in sRGB
display. Its need originated for the compatibility with legacy "No Color
Management" option in Blender. It is also missing in the fallback color
management implementation. So, now use sRGB with Raw view to replicate the
old behavior. There will be a separate do-version commit after this one to help
transitioning the current files to the new configuration.
The Raw and Non-Color are duplicates of each other, there is no need to have
both of them. Since users are more familiar with Non-Color, and it's also the
one assigned as the data role, will keep Non-Color and remove Raw. For the
compatibility the Raw is an alias of the Non-Color space.
Ref #110685
This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number
of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat
zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the
Add > Utilities menu.
The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more
flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for
many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance
is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could
be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will
be worked on separately.
Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is
that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in
the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is
evaluated per frame.
Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet
supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using
Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality
will be built into the repeat zone in the future.
For now, things are kept more simple.
Remaining Todos after this first version:
* Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only
the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection
and the viewer.
* Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager,
meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not
be required.

This is a history workaround not needed for modern shells

This isn't used in other wrappers (snap package) for e.g.
The steam environment sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a libtbb.so.2 that is
incompatible with our own. This wrapper scripts gives our own library
priority.
There is a more modern "Steam Linux Runtime" that can be used instead of
the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH Steam Runtime" and which launches Blender, but it
fails to detect GPU compute libraries. So that was not an option.

Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/107738
This adds support for building simulations with geometry nodes. A new
`Simulation Input` and `Simulation Output` node allow maintaining a
simulation state across multiple frames. Together these two nodes form
a `simulation zone` which contains all the nodes that update the simulation
state from one frame to the next.
A new simulation zone can be added via the menu
(`Simulation > Simulation Zone`) or with the node add search.
The simulation state contains a geometry by default. However, it is possible
to add multiple geometry sockets as well as other socket types. Currently,
field inputs are evaluated and stored for the preceding geometry socket in
the order that the sockets are shown. Simulation state items can be added
by linking one of the empty sockets to something else. In the sidebar, there
is a new panel that allows adding, removing and reordering these sockets.
The simulation nodes behave as follows:
* On the first frame, the inputs of the `Simulation Input` node are evaluated
to initialize the simulation state. In later frames these sockets are not
evaluated anymore. The `Delta Time` at the first frame is zero, but the
simulation zone is still evaluated.
* On every next frame, the `Simulation Input` node outputs the simulation
state of the previous frame. Nodes in the simulation zone can edit that
data in arbitrary ways, also taking into account the `Delta Time`. The new
simulation state has to be passed to the `Simulation Output` node where it
is cached and forwarded.
* On a frame that is already cached or baked, the nodes in the simulation
zone are not evaluated, because the `Simulation Output` node can return
the previously cached data directly.
It is not allowed to connect sockets from inside the simulation zone to the
outside without going through the `Simulation Output` node. This is a necessary
restriction to make caching and sub-frame interpolation work. Links can go into
the simulation zone without problems though.
Anonymous attributes are not propagated by the simulation nodes unless they
are explicitly stored in the simulation state. This is unfortunate, but
currently there is no practical and reliable alternative. The core problem
is detecting which anonymous attributes will be required for the simulation
and afterwards. While we can detect this for the current evaluation, we can't
look into the future in time to see what data will be necessary. We intend to
make it easier to explicitly pass data through a simulation in the future,
even if the simulation is in a nested node group.
There is a new `Simulation Nodes` panel in the physics tab in the properties
editor. It allows baking all simulation zones on the selected objects. The
baking options are intentially kept at a minimum for this MVP. More features
for simulation baking as well as baking in general can be expected to be added
separately.
All baked data is stored on disk in a folder next to the .blend file. #106937
describes how baking is implemented in more detail. Volumes can not be baked
yet and materials are lost during baking for now. Packing the baked data into
the .blend file is not yet supported.
The timeline indicates which frames are currently cached, baked or cached but
invalidated by user-changes.
Simulation input and output nodes are internally linked together by their
`bNode.identifier` which stays the same even if the node name changes. They
are generally added and removed together. However, there are still cases where
"dangling" simulation nodes can be created currently. Those generally don't
cause harm, but would be nice to avoid this in more cases in the future.

This patch adds several tools and options to the weight paint mode of Grease Pencil.
* Blur tool: smooths out vertex weights, by calculating a gaussian blur of adjacent vertices.
* Average tool: painting the average weight from all weights under the brush.
* Smear tool: smudges weights by grabbing the weights under the brush and 'dragging' them.
* With the + and - icons in the toolbar, the user can easily switch between adding and subtracting weight while drawing weights.
* With shortcut `D` you can toggle between these two.
* The auto-normalize options ensures that all bone-deforming vertex groups add up to 1.0 while weight painting.
* With `Ctrl-F` a radial control for weight is invoked (in addition to the radial controls for brush size and strength).
* With `Ctrl-RMB` the user can sample the weight. This sets the brush Weight from the weight under the cursor.
* When painting weights in vertex groups for bones, the user can quickly switch to another vertex group by clicking on a bone with `Ctrl-LMB`.
For this to work, follow these steps:
* Select the armature and switch to Pose Mode.
* Select your Grease Pencil object and switch immediately to Weight Paint Mode.
* Select a bone in the armature with `Ctrl-LMB`. The corresponding vertex group is automatically activated.

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.
Increase the default value for the maximum number of recently-opened
files from 10 to 20. Also change the user's preference on version bump

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

Blender 3.5 for the first time or when loading factory startup. It
is still possible to switch to OpenGL via the user preferences.
It will not automatically select the Metal backend when there is

The Preferences for asset libraries are becoming more than a simple name

also considered a Relative Paths option (which we may still want to

UI isn't well suited for less than trivial cases. Using UI lists makes
the UI more scalable and follows usual list UI patterns more. There is
also more space for the path button now.

The quick fur operator now uses the new hair system. It adds a new
curves object for every selected mesh, and adds geometry nodes
modifiers from the essentials assets that generate curves. A few
settings are exposed in the redo panel, including an option for whether
to apply the modifier to generate the initial curves so that there is
original editable data.
The point of the operator is to give people a sense of how to use the

further tweaking.

This implements the delete operator in curves edit mode. The behavior
is similar to the delete operator in the edit mode of legacy curves,
i.e. it's actually dissolving and doesn't split curves. This is also

The operator is added to the `Curves` menu and can be accessed via
the keyboard using `X` or `Del`.

This adds a new `Curve Falloff` popover to the comb brush tool settings.
The curve control allows changing the brush weight along the curve to
e.g. affect the tip more than the root. This is a relative way to get
something like stiffness for short hair.
This functionality could potentially be added to some other brushes,
but the comb brush is the most important one, so that is added first.
I did add the buttons add the buttons to choose a curve map preset.
However, I did not add the preset dropdown, because that just adds
some unnecessary complexity in the code now and is redundant.
Pull Request #104589
This patch adds a simple operator to set values of the active
attribute for the selected element. The aim is to give simple control
over attribute values in edit mode rather than to provide the fastest
workflow for most cases. Eventually this operator might be less
important compared to more advanced attribute editing tools, but for
now, exposing a little bit of functionality is low hanging fruit and
will help to see the possibilities.
The implementation mostly consists of boilerplate to register the
necessary property types for the operator and draw their UI.
Beyond that, we just loop over selected elements and set a value.

Sculpt: Added vector displacement for the sculpting draw brush (area plane mapping only for now)
Vector displacement maps (VDM) provide a way to create complex displacements that can have overhangs in one brush dab.
This is unlike standard displacement with height maps that only displace in the normal direction.
Forms like ears, curled horns, etc can be created in one click if VMDs are used.
There is a checkbox on the draw brush in the texture settings "Vector Displacement" that enables/disables this feature.
Technical description: The RGB channels of a texture in a brush stroke are read and interpreted as individual vectors, that are used to offset vertices.
As of now, this is only working for the draw brush using the area plane mapping. Symmetry and radial symmetry are working.
A few things to consider when making VD-Maps:
* UVs need to stay intact for the bake mesh (e.g. voxel remeshing can't be used to create VD Meshes)
* When exporting a VD Map it should be in the file format OpenEXR (for positive and negative floating point values).
* Export resolution can be 512x512 or lower (EXR files can get very large, but VDM brushes don't need a high resolution)
And when using them:
* Inside Blender clamping needs to be unchecked on the texture
* The brush falloff should be set to constant (or nearly constant)

During hair grooming in curves sculpt mode, it is very useful when hair strands
are prevented from intersecting with the surface mesh. Unfortunately, it also
decreases performance significantly so we don't want it to be turned on all the time.
The surface collision is used by the Comb, Pinch and Puff brushes currently.
It can be turned on or off on a per-geometry basis.
The intersection prevention quality of this patch is not perfect yet. This can
be improved over time using a better solver. Overall, perfect collision detection
at the cost of bad performance is not necessary for interactive sculpting,
because the user can fix small mistakes very quickly. Nevertheless, the quality
can probably still be improved significantly without too big slow-downs depending
on the use case. This can be done separately from this patch.

- Use bpy.utils.execfile instead of importing then deleting from

This allow to bypass all cost associated with shadow mapping.
This can be useful in certain situation, such as opening a scene on a
lower end system or just to gain performance in some situation (lookdev).
Implements virtual shadow mapping for EEVEE-Next primary shadow solution.
This technique aims to deliver really high precision shadowing for many
lights while keeping a relatively low cost.
The technique works by splitting each shadows in tiles that are only
allocated & updated on demand by visible surfaces and volumes.
Local lights use cubemap projection with mipmap level of detail to adapt
the resolution to the receiver distance.
Sun lights use clipmap distribution or cascade distribution (depending on
which is better) for selecting the level of detail with the distance to
the camera.
Current maximum shadow precision for local light is about 1 pixel per 0.01
degrees.
For sun light, the maximum resolution is based on the camera far clip
distance which sets the most coarse clipmap.
## Limitation:
Alpha Blended surfaces might not get correct shadowing in some corner
casses. This is to be fixed in another commit.
While resolution is greatly increase, it is still finite. It is virtually
equivalent to one 8K shadow per shadow cube face and per clipmap level.
There is no filtering present for now.
## Parameters:
Shadow Pool Size: In bytes, amount of GPU memory to dedicate to the
shadow pool (is allocated per viewport).
Shadow Scaling: Scale the shadow resolution. Base resolution should
target subpixel accuracy (within the limitation of the technique).

The operator has the option to add to selected FCurves instead
of only the active, but it was only exposed in the redo panel.
This patch adds the operator to the right-click menu on FCurve channels,
and to the channel menu in the Graph editor.
Both times with configured to add to selected
instead of only the active FCurve

- Replace type annotations with doc-strings, the current conventions is
not to use type annotations in startup scripts.
- Replace abbreviation "idx" with "index" in public arguments/properties.
- Replace `len(..) > 0` with boolean checks.
- Add `__all__` to list public members.
- Use `arg` instead of `param` for doc-strings.
- Locate the doc-string so it shows as `__doc__`.
Adds two operators to select linked vertices in weight paint mode.
Similar to how it works in edit mode.
Press "L" to select vertices under the cursor,
or CTRL + "L" to select anything linked to the current selection.

In the previous situation the message was shown for Apple devices.
But this is not correct and confusing.
- Apple with Metal backend are supported, OpenGL on Apple isn't
- Legacy devices on Windows or Linux are also not supported.
This change will check that the capabilities of the GPU match the
requirements to use Viewport compositor. Based on those capabilities
a message is shown and the panel is activated.
Extract:
- EEVEE: Compiling Shaders (the same message exists in EEVEE Next, but
it uses string concatenation and I don't know yet how to deal with
those--see T92758)
Disambiguate:
- Pan (audio, camera)
- Box (TextSequence)
- Mix (noun in constraints, GP materials)
- Volume (object type, file system)
- Floor (math integer part, 3D viewport horizontal plane)
- Impossible to disambiguate the constraint name because
bConstraintTypeInfo doesn't have a context field.
- Show Overlay (in the sequence editor, use the same message as other
editors to avoid a confusion with the Frame Overlay feature, also
called "Show Overlay")
Additionally, fix a few issues reported by Joan Pujolar (@jpujolar)
in T101830.

This operator updates scene strip internal length to reflect target
scene length. Previously scene strip had to be deleted and added from
scratch. Scene strip length in timeline will not be changed.
This adds a new operator: bpy.ops.mesh.flip_quad_tessellation()
This operator rotates the internal loops of the selected quads, allowing
the user to control tessellation without destructively altering the
mesh.

This operator can be found in the "Face" menu (Ctrl+F) under "Face
Data".

This patch adds a draw_ui_list() function, which is a wrapper around
layout.template_list(). It implements generic add/remove/move buttons,
passing the correct "row" integer to template_list(), as well as a
drop-down menu, if provided, making it a complete solution for
consistent UILists for addons.

Based on T99607:
- Existing Angle Control shortcuts are removed
- Voxel, Dyntopo and Hair resolution shortcuts are remapped to `R`
Since voxel remeshing is not compatible with dyntopo, each can use the shortcut `R` for the remeshing resolution without causing a conflict.
The shortcut `R` is not currently used for anything important.
The angle control menu is commonly not used.
And sculpt mode is only coincidentally inheriting the rotate operator shortcut on `R` because nothing else is mapped to the key.

This addressed feature request T99811.
Added the following features to fully support importing USDZ archives:
- Added .usdz to the list of supported extensions.
- Added new USD import options to copy textures from USDZ archives. The
textures may be imported as packed data (the default) or to a directory
on disk.
- Extended the USD material import logic to handle package-relative texture
assets paths by invoking the USD asset resolver to copy the textures from
the USDZ archive to a directory on disk. When importing in Packed mode,
the textures are first saved to Blender's temporary session directory
prior to packing.
The new USD import options are
- Import Textures: Behavior when importing textures from a USDZ archive
- Textures Directory: Path to the directory where imported textures will
be copied
- File Name Collision: Behavior when the name of an imported texture file
conflicts with an existing file
Import Textures menu options:
- None: Don't import textures
- Packed: Import textures as packed data (the default)
- Copy: Copy files to Textures Directory
File Name Collision menu options:
- Use Existing: If a file with the same name already exists, use that
instead of copying (the default)
- Overwrite: Overwrite existing files
