As discussed in #105407, it can be useful to support returning
a fallback value specified by the user instead of failing the driver
if a driver variable cannot resolve its RNA path. This especially
applies to context variables referencing custom properties, since
when the object with the driver is linked into another scene, the
custom property can easily not exist there.
This patch adds an optional fallback value setting to properties
based on RNA path (including ordinary Single Property variables
due to shared code and similarity). When enabled, RNA path lookup
failures (including invalid array index) cause the fallback value
to be used instead of marking the driver invalid.
A flag is added to track when this happens for UI use. It is
also exposed to python for lint type scripts.
When the fallback value is used, the input field containing
the property RNA path that failed to resolve is highlighted in red
(identically to the case without a fallback), and the driver
can be included in the With Errors filter of the Drivers editor.
However, the channel name is not underlined in red, because
the driver as a whole evaluates successfully.

Fix the 'Show All' bone collection operator, by making it operate on all
collections instead of just the roots. It also now ensures that all
ancestors of the solo'ed collection are shown (otherwise it's the only
visible one, but given that its parent is hidden, it's still not
visible).
This also fixes a related issue, where calling the operator without
passing the `name` parameter would do nothing. Now it soloes the active
bone collection.
Add a `bone_collection.bones_recursive` property that returns the set of
bones assigned to that bone collection or any of its child collections.
This property is implemented in Python, as that made it considerably
simpler to create the set semantics.
Add custom properties to Action Bake.
objects will bake all animatable custom properties. Armatures will bake all bone custom properties,
as well as object (armature) custom properties.

Make it possible to nest bone collections. The data structure on the
armature is still a flat array. It is organised as follows:
- Sibling collections (i.e. ones with the same parent) are stored
sequentially in the array.
- Each bone collection keep track of the number of children, and the
index of the first child.
- Root collections (i.e. ones without parent) are stored as the first
elements in the array.
- The number of root collections is stored on the Armature.
This commit also contains the following:
- Replaced the flat UIList of bone collections with a tree view.
- Updated the M/Shift+M operators (move/assign to collection) to work
with hierarchical bone collections.
- Updated RNA interface to expose only root collections at
`armature.collections`. All collections are available on
`armature.collections.all`, and children at `bonecollection.children`.
- Library override support. Only new roots + their subtrees can be added
via overrides.

This is the initial implementation for the volume grid sockets that has been
discussed during the November 2023 geometry nodes workshop.
It adds initial support for passing volume grids around in sockets. Furthermore,
it adds two new nodes. Both are initially hidden under the "New Volume Nodes"
experimental option until we have a few mode nodes.
* **Get Named Grid**: Gets or extracts a volume grid from a volume geometry
based on the grid's name.
* **Store Named Grid**: Puts a volume grid back into a volume with a name.
`SocketValueVariant` is extended to support grids besides single values and fields.
Next steps:
* Implement grid socket shape and inferencing (currently, they just look like
single values).
* Add implicit conversions between grid types.
* Implement nodes that operate on the grids (#116021).
* Improved spreadsheet and viewer support.

- "Cache" in the Simulation Nodes panel is a verb, not a noun.
- "Mix" in the snapping menu is a noun, not a verb.
- "Top" and "Bottom" can mean the upper part of an object or the
highest point or element of something like a menu or list.

Split the `armature.collection_assign` operator in two. Before, the
operator could do two things: assign selected bones to the active/named
bone collection, or create a new bone collection with the given name.
This is now split up, where `armature.collection_assign` only assigns to
existing bone collections, and `armature.collection_create_and_assign`
always creates a new bone collection.
This makes the purpose of each operator clearer & more predictable.
This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries.
Typical use cases we want address with this currently are:
* Bake some data for use with a render engine.
* Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance.
For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format.
It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another
Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for
those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows
reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames.
The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation
wise). Major differences are:
* The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode.
* The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching.
Implementation details:
* Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also
makes sense for non-zones.
* The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and
`BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data.
* For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make
sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output.
* Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used
during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none
of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using
`DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the
`DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches
which shouldn't happen here.
* Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of
Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though.
* The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the
code easier to follow compared to the previous nested
`ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure.
* The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically
only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force
the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly).
* The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and
`Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all
simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes).
* The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes.
For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data
may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected.
* Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes
evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the
new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes.
Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations):
* Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation.
* Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo.
* Improve error handling when baked data is not found.
* Show bake node in link drag search.
* Higher level tools for managing bakes.

Before #108014, toggling "Auto Smooth" was an easy way to disable
evaluation of custom normals and face corner normals for faster
viewport playback performance. Now that corner normals are calculated
automatically as necessary, it's helpful to still have a way to disable
expensive normal computation for faster playback.
This commit adds a "Normals" scene simplify setting. To avoid a bunch
of complexity, it just influences which normals are requested from the
object by viewport rendering. In my tests, skipping calculating at
least doubled viewport FPS in a few test files with a large mesh with
custom normals. This works well because normals are cached and lazily
calculated.

This is a replacement for the workflow that uses
"Bake Curve" and "Unbake Curve" to quickly generate
dense key data.
Compared to the existing workflow it has the advantage
of allowing the user more control over the key types,
and distance between keys, as well as the frame range affected.
Operator options
* Range: the range that will be baked.
Defaults to the scene range or preview range.
* Step: Distance between keyframes.
Can be used to bake on 2s or even bake to subframes.
* Remove Existing Keys: Boolean option that
if enabled also removes keys outside the specified baking range
* Interpolation Type: Choose a interpolation mode used
for new keys e.g. Constant or Bezier
* Bake Modifiers: If enabled bakes the effect of the
modifier stack to keys and deletes the modifier stack.
If false, the code disables the modifiers before baking,
so the resulting keys will behave as if the modifiers didn't exist

Avoid this python error.
This adds a new "Active Camera" input geometry node, per #105761.
The node outputs the the scene's current active camera. It is available
from Input > Scene > Active Camera in the geometry nodes Add menu.
Typical usage would be to connect this node to an Object Info node to
obtain its transform. This works as expected when the camera's
transform is animated, and also when there are markers on the timeline
that change the active camera.
In order to support the aforementioned changes in the active camera,
this implementation adds depsgraph relations for all cameras referenced
by timeline markers. This eliminates the complexity of updating the
depsgraph whenever the scene switches to a different active camera,
but of course it comes at the cost of including more objects than
strictly necessary in the depsgraph for scenes that switch cameras.
Dynamically updating the depsgraph upon camera changes could be a
future improvement if there proves to be sufficient need for it.

Remove "Invert Visible" from the face sets menu, since those concepts
are no longer tied together, except for some convenience features to
toggle visibility of some face sets.
On the code side, the `SCULPT_OT_face_set_invert_visibility` operator
is replaced by `PAINT_OT_visibility_invert`. It inverts vertex visibility
instead of face visibility, which mostly has the same results, except
for multires sculpting where it no longer "downgrades" visibility to
base mesh faces.
This PR adds the drawing placement modes from GPv2.
The drawing placement defines the depth (origin, view, surface, etc.) and a plane (view, cursor, xz, etc.).
This introduces a new helper class `DrawingPlacement` that does all of the internals to find the correct projection and just exposes a simple function to project from screen space to the drawing plane/surface.
Note: Drawing on other strokes currently doesn't work, because GPv3 can't be rendered to image yet. We use the depth buffer of the grease pencil render result to find the right depth.

Currently, in weight paint mode, there is an icon for
face and vertex selection mode, but there isn't one
for the default mode where the user can select a bone
in any tool by alt clicking.
This lack of indication might lead to confusion for the users
when they are not able to select a bone by
alt clicking during weight painting.
By adding a bone selection icon when there is a pose
mode armature, we can communicate to the user that:
1. they can select a bone while the bone selection icon is active.
(when they are not in face or vertex selection mode)
2. they have forgot to select an armature when entering
weight paint mode by not showing the bone selection
icon at all when there is no pose mode armature.
When the bone selection icon is inactive,
the user can't select a bone.
(alt clicking selects face and vertex mode's respective element)
When no armature is selected when entering weight paint mode,
the bone selection icon doesn't show up indicating that the user
has forgot to select an armature.
(The user is also unable to select a bone by alt clicking.)
## Selection tool for bone selection mode
Currently, while selection tools exist for face and vertex
selection mode, one doesn't exist for the default mode
(bone selection mode). As the default mode will be getting
a clear indicator that it will function as a bone selection mode,
I added a selection tool entry for the bone selection mode.
Face and vertex selection modes has the shortcut 1 and 2,
so it seemed natural to give bone selection mode the shortcut of 3.

Related commit: 82aa300e1c / 5596f7982182aa300e1c made it so that if only linked images are used, painting
would be prohibited. But since painting in Material mode actualy paints
across all materials it could happen that one particular image is linked
whereas another image isnt. In this case, painting on the linked image
would not be prohibited.
Two issues:
- [1] logic in above commit(s) seems slightly wrong, we could still pass
the check for linked images (also no image here should also not result
in a positive check I think).
- [2] code in `project_paint_prepare_all_faces` would still work with
linked images in slots, so
-- `ProjPaintState` -> `image_tot` was incremented
-- `ProjPaintImage` was created
-- this then ends up in the undo push - and crashes on undo
So now [1] is rectified and for [2] we skip faces with associated linked
images.
In addition, slots with linked images are now also greyed out in the UI
(`VIEW3D_PT_slots_projectpaint`) to give some sort of hint. For the
future it would probably also be good to dissallow selection of such
paint slots, but that is for another commit.

When pressing `I` in the viewport, the colors of the FCurve channels were no longer set correctly.
Caused by #113504
Fix by removing the flag that determined that in the first place,
and read straight from the user preferences. Then move the code
that sets the mode on the FCurve into the function that actually creates it.
For 99% of cases the code went to the user preference flag `AUTOKEY_FLAG_XYZ2RGB`
and if that was set, the `INSERTKEY_XYZ2RGB` would be set. The only case where this
was not from the user preferences was from custom keying sets.
There was an override flag for FCurve colors on custom keying sets.
I removed that with this patch since the use case is not apparent
and custom keying sets are hardly used.

Add an "Index Switch" node which is meant as a simpler version of

Even when the Menu Switch is included (which should be in the

Currently we have options to transfer the paint mask, face sets, and
color attributes to the new mesh created by voxel remesh. This doesn't
make use of the generic attribute design, where it would be clearer to
transfer all attributes with the same methods. That's reflected in the
code as well-- we do duplicate work for the mask and vertex colors, for
example.
This commit replaces the transfer options with a single checkbox for
all attributes. All attribute types on all domains are transferred with
basically the same method as the "Sample Nearest" node from geometry
nodes-- they take the value from the nearest source element of the same
domain. Face corners are handled differently than before. Instead of
retrieving the mixed value of all the corners from the nearest source
vertex, the value from the nearest corner of the nearest face.
---
Some timing information, showing that when interpolating the same
data, the attribute propagation is significantly faster than before.
Edge and corner attributes would add some cost (edges more than
corners), but might not always be present.

This uses the principles outlined in
Screen Space Indirect Lighting with Visibility Bitmask
to compute local and distant diffuse lighting.
This implements it inside the ray-tracing module as a fallback when the
surface is too rough. The threshold for blending between technique is
available to the user.
The implementation first setup a radiance buffer and a view normal
buffer. These buffer are tracing resolution as the lighting quality is
less important for rough surfaces. These buffers are necessary to avoid

When animators want to key something in the viewport,
the code needs to know *which properties* should be keyed of that selected thing.
So far that was done with keying sets, and a pop-up that let's
you choose the keying set to use. You can get rid of the popup by
choosing a keying set ahead of time. But that is also not always desirable.
That pop-up is quite confusing and gives way too many options.
To simplify this process this PR adds a User Preference option to choose one or more of:
* Location
* Rotation
* Scale
* Rotation Mode
* Custom Properties
Now whenever the `I` key is pressed in the viewport,
and no keying set is enabled, it reads the preferences for which channels to insert.
# User Facing changes
* The popup will not be shown when pressing the hotkey,
but you can still explicitly use keying sets by going to the menu
* Which channels are keyed is defined by a User Preference setting under animation
* when a keying set is used explicitly, the User Preference settings are ignored

The RNA API is replaced with one created in Python. The new

This path merges the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes into a single
combined Noise Texture node. The reasoning is that both nodes
intrinsically do the same thing, which is the layering of Perlin noise
derivatives to produce fractal noise. So the patch de-duplicates code
and unifies the use of fractal noise for the end use.
Since the Noise node had a Distortion input and a Color output, while
the Musgrave node did not, those are now available to the Musgrave types
as new functionalities.
The Dimension input of the Musgrave node is analogous to the Roughness
input of the Noise node, so both inputs were unified to follow the same
behavior of the Roughness input, which is arguable more intuitive to
control. Similarly, the Detail input was slightly different across both
nodes, since the Noise node evaluated one extra layer of noise. This was
also unified to follow the behavior of the Noise node.
The patch, coincidentally fixes an unreported bug causing repeated
output for certain noise types and another floating precision bug
#112180.
The versioning code implemented with this patch ensures backward
compatibility for both the Musgrave and Noise Texture nodes. When
opening older Blender files in Blender 4.1 the output of both nodes are
guaranteed to always be exactly identical to that of Blender files
created before the nodes were merged in all cases.
Forward compatibility with Blender 4.0 is implemented by #114236.
Forward compatibility with Blender 3.6 LTS is implemented by #115015.

The motion tracking always operates with horizontal sensor mapping, but
conversion code form tracking camera to Blender camera was not setting
the sensor fitting to Horizontal (Python code was leaving sensor fitting
unchanged, C code was setting it to Auto).
Additionally, the Python code was not handling camera shift, making it
so non-centered optical center was not handled correctly.
The reason why the code is written in two places is because C code is
used when conversion from tracking camera to Blender happens after solving
the motion, and the Python code is used for the "Setup Tracking Scene".
It is possible to unify some code, but it is not that much of an importance
at this time.

This patch adds support for full precision compositing for the Realtime
Compositor. A new precision option was added to the compositor to change
between half and full precision compositing, where the Auto option uses
half for the viewport compositor and the interactive render compositor,
while full is used for final renders.
The compositor context now need to implement the get_precision() method
to indicate its preferred precision. Intermediate results will be stored
using the context's precision, with a number of exceptions that can use
a different precision regardless of the context's precision. For
instance, summed area tables are always stored in full float results
even if the context specified half float. Conversely, jump flooding
tables are always stored in half integer results even if the context
specified full. The former requires full float while the latter has no
use for it.
Since shaders are created for a specific precision, we need two variants
of each compositor shader to account for the context's possible
precision. However, to avoid doubling the shader info count and reduce
boilerplate code and development time, an automated mechanism was
employed. A single shader info of whatever precision needs to be added,
then, at runtime, the shader info can be adjusted to change the
precision of the outputs. That shader variant is then cached in the
static cache manager for future processing-free shader retrieval.
Therefore, the shader manager was removed in favor of a cached shader
container in the static cache manager.
A number of utilities were added to make the creation of results as well as
the retrieval of shader with the target precision easier. Further, a
number of precision-specific shaders were removed in favor of more
generic ones that utilizes the aforementioned shader retrieval
mechanism.

Each node group asset exposes various properties through sockets.
Although they can generally be considered user-created data, for
built-in assets they are also part of the UI and should be
translated--especially since more modifiers should be migrated to
Geometry Nodes in the future.
This commit allows extraction of such socket names and descriptions.
Since the message extraction script already extracted names and
descriptions for each asset, this commit only adds the socket in the
same loop, so that they are extracted while the asset file is already
being read.
Properties from sockets are not yet translated in the modifier
properties editor, this will be enabled in a follow-up commit.

Design task: #93551
This PR replaces the auto smooth option with a geometry nodes modifier
that sets the sharp edge attribute. This solves a fair number of long-
standing problems related to auto smooth, simplifies the process of
normal computation, and allows Blender to automatically choose between
face, vertex, and face corner normals based on the sharp edge and face
attributes.
Versioning adds a geometry node group to objects with meshes that had
auto-smooth enabled. The modifier can be applied, which also improves
performance.
Auto smooth is now unnecessary to get a combination of sharp and smooth
edges. In general workflows are changed a bit. Separate procedural and
destructive workflows are available. Custom normals can be used
immediately without turning on the removed auto smooth option.
**Procedural**
The node group asset "Smooth by Angle" is the main way to set sharp
normals based on the edge angle. It can be accessed directly in the add
modifier menu. Of course the modifier can be reordered, muted, or
applied like any other, or changed internally like any geometry nodes
modifier.
**Destructive**
Often the sharp edges don't need to be dynamic. This can give better
performance since edge angles don't need to be recalculated. In edit
mode the two operators "Select Sharp Edges" and "Mark Sharp" can be
used. In other modes, the "Shade Smooth by Angle" controls the edge
sharpness directly.
### Breaking API Changes
- `use_auto_smooth` is removed. Face corner normals are now used
automatically if there are mixed smooth vs. not smooth tags. Meshes
now always use custom normals if they exist.
- In Cycles, the lack of the separate auto smooth state makes normals look
triangulated when all faces are shaded smooth.
- `auto_smooth_angle` is removed. Replaced by a modifier (or operator)
controlling the sharp edge attribute. This means the mesh itself
(without an object) doesn't know anything about automatically smoothing
by angle anymore.
- `create_normals_split`, `calc_normals_split`, and `free_normals_split`
are removed, and are replaced by the simpler `Mesh.corner_normals`
collection property. Since it gives access to the normals cache, it
is automatically updated when relevant data changes.
Addons are updated here: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender-addons/pulls/104609
### Tests
- `geo_node_curves_test_deform_curves_on_surface` has slightly different
results because face corner normals are used instead of interpolated
vertex normals.
- `bf_wavefront_obj_tests` has different export results for one file
which mixed sharp and smooth faces without turning on auto smooth.
- `cycles_mesh_cpu` has one object which is completely flat shaded.
Previously every edge was split before rendering, now it looks triangulated.

This adds correct object bounds estimation.
This works by creating an occupancy texture where one
bit represents one froxel. A geometry pre-pass fill this
occupancy texture and doesn't do any shading. Each bit
set to 0 will not be considered occupied by the object
volume and will discard the material compute shader for
this froxel.
There is 2 method of computing the occupancy map:
- Atomic XOR: For each fragment we compute the amount of
froxels **center** in-front of it. We then convert that
into occupancy bitmask that we apply to the occupancy
texture using `imageAtomicXor`. This is straight forward
and works well for any manifold geometry.
- Hit List: For each fragment we write the fragment depth
in a list (contained in one array texture). This list
is then processed by a fullscreen pass (see
`eevee_occupancy_convert_frag.glsl`) that sorts and
converts all the hits to the occupancy bits. This
emulate Cycles behavior by considering only back-face
hits as exit events and front-face hits as entry events.
The result stores it to the occupancy texture using
bit-wise `OR` operation to compose it with other non-hit
list objects. This also decouple the hit-list evaluation
complexity from the material evaluation shader.
## Limitations
### Fast
- Non-manifolds geometry objects are rendered incorrectly.
- Non-manifolds geometry objects will affect other objects
in front of them.
### Accurate
- Limited to 16 hits per layer for now.
- Non-manifolds geometry objects will affect other objects
in front of them.

This node allows splitting up a geometry into groups. A group is defined as all

The `Group ID` output can be used for further deterministic processing.
The node supports meshes, curves, point clouds and instances. It only works
on the top-level geometry, so it does not go into nested instances because it

Similar to #104426, this adds a simple operator to set attribute values
for curves edit mode. The operator is very basic and is only meant to
be a first step for more attribute editing features. Some of the
functionality could be achieved with node tools, but without dynamic
socket types or access to the active attribute, it would be incomplete.
Some of the RNA property registration, retrieval, and setting is reused
from the mesh edit mode operator. The rest of the logic is similar but
harder to de-duplicate.

Adds a "Select by Attribute" operator as mentioned in the discussion in
#105317. This is done in 4.0 to limit the breaking aspect of the removal
of face maps. The selection storage functionality is replaced by boolean
attributes. We already have a way to control the data in the boolean
attribute with the "Set Attribute" operator, but we didn't have a way to
convert the attribute into a selection.
This operator works on the active attribute if is a boolean attribute
and isn't on the face corner domain. It adds to the existing selection
similar to other existing operators.
While this behavior can be recreated as a node tool, we add it as a
builtin operator here to avoid limitations of the new node-based
tool system and to make the late-in-the-release-cycle change safer.

In !112591, nodes got the ability to group sockets into panels. The
labels for these sockets are automatically shortened if they begin
with the same text as their parent labels. For instance, "Transmission
Weight" will be shortened to just "Weight" because it is under the
"Transmission" panel.
While this is a good heuristic for English, it breaks down in
languages which do not have the same word order.
This commit adds a `.short_label()` callback to socket declarations so
that a shortened label can be explicitly declared.
It also adds two regexps to the translation script so that these new
fields can be extracted to the .po translation files. One extracts the
label with a translation context, the other without. Only the one
without context is currently in use.
The current automatic shortening logic is kept and will be used only
if a shortened label is not manually provided.

I had to do a huge refactor in order to do this.
The way ReflectionProbe were referencing the UBO

So like light, shadow and irradiance grids, every

* Add attribute support for the `GreasePencilComponent` to read/write layer attributes. Also introduces a `Layer` domain.
* Implement a `GreasePencilLayerFieldContext` and make `GeometryFieldContext` work with grease pencil layers.
* Implement `Set Position` node for `Grease Pencil`.
Note: These changes are only accessible/visible with the `Grease Pencil 3.0` experimental flag enabled.

This PR reuses the scene specific reflection probe resolution for all
reflection light probes in the scene. The target is to have a automatic
detection for the resolution. But as long as we don't have a mechanism
for detection it is better to not introduce a new UI element that will
be removed within the foreseen future.
This setting is currently used by EEVEE and EEVEE-Next. EEVEE supports
resolutions upto 4096px. This will be clamped to 2048 when using
EEVEE-Next.
The motivation for this is that EEVEE-Next will soon replace
EEVEE and 4096 can then be removed from the choices that the user can
made. Adding as separate option could need synchronization, and that
option would also be temporary as it will be removed by the resolution
detection mechanism.

This traces planar lightprobe captures just like
the screen-space tracing does.
This is implemented as a separate shader that
loads the ray before the screen trace and
check if it can be traced against any available
planar probe. If it does it marks the ray as
traced (negative pdf) so that the screen tracing
pass does not override the result or try to
trace it.

This PR is contains the initial capture pipeline for planar probes.
It requires work to generate the correct view to capture and to include
the result during ray tracing. These will be developed in a separate PR.
This PR detects if a planar probe is active in the scene. If this is
the case the planar probe pipeline will be activated. During rendering
this is done by querying the depsgraph, during viewport drawing this
is done during sync. If an planar probe is detected and the pipeline
wasn't activated. The pipeline will be activated and the sampling
will be reset to ensure the pipeline is filled with all objects.
Per object the user can set the visibility of the object in planar
reflections.
For a reflection plane the resolution and clipping offset can be set.
EDIT: Resolution option was removed because too complex to
implement with the little time we have at the moment.
