Presets were not updated when parameter were changed in rBe3d31b8dfbdc.
Note that will also check on generating more resistent py code for that
kind of presets, since that will also affect any custom preset made by
users...
Ensure we use lists for keymap items and item properties.
This means scripts can access keymap definitions from other layouts,
manipulating them without sometimes encountering a tuple that needs
to be converted into a list.
There was a bug due to non-aligned struct in the DNA that prevented us
to increase the size of the userdef light array.
Since the studio lights are now presets and stored in external files,
there is no need to keep backward compatibility with theses lights.
Remove the old array and create a new one.
Add blue tint light for specular.
Shadow focus let the user choose how hard are is the shadows transition.
Harder shadow transition can be used for stylistic effects or more uniform
shading.
Make shadow orientation respect the same orientation as the studio light
(view from +Y direction aka. front view). Make the default shadow direction
more similar to the default light position (the default light object, not
the default studio lighting).
This option is per viewport.
Having view space shading make sense when working on isolated objects like
if you were holding them in your hands. But for entire scene work, it is
better to have the lighting fixed to have a better spatial representation.
This changes a bit how the userprefs solid lights works. They are not
visible until enabling the "Edit Solid Light" checkbox. Once enabled the
current studiolight used for solid mode will be overwritten.
Once the lighting settings are tweaked, the user can click the
"Save as Studio light" button to save the current settings.
This makes it easy to create new lighting without messing the other
presets.
The studio lights are stored as ASCII files on the disk using a dead
simple custom format.
The UI/UX is not perfect and will be improved in other commits.
Also includes:
* Separate LookDev HDRI selection from Solid Lights
* Hide LookDev HDRIs from the Solid Lights selection list
Some space types are exposed as multiple space types,
previously the key binding to set the space type would use the last
used space-type.
Now pressing the key again cycles to the next space sub-type.
Without this, shortcut display is confusing since some space types share
a key. Keymap display will need to be updated to support this.
The old onion skinning used in 2.7x has been ported and converted to 2.8. Only basic features have been included. For more advanced onion skin features, use grease pencil objects.
Onion Skin is supported in View 3D and Sequencer.
This is in order to have more flexible ligthing presets in the future.
The diffuse lighting from hdris was nice but lacked the corresponding
specular information. This is an attempt to make it possible to customize
the lighting and have a cheap/easy/nice-looking pseudo-PBR workflow.
* Add cheap PBR to Workbench with fresnel and better roughness support.
This improves the look of the metallic surfaces and is easier to control.
* Add ambient light to studio lights settings: just a constant color added
to the shading.
* Add Smooth option to studio lights settings: This option fakes the
effect of making the light bigger making the lighting smoother for this
light. Smoother lights gets reflected like a background hdri.
* Change default light settings to include the smooth params.
* Remove specular highlights from flat shading. (could be added back but
how do we make it good looking?)
* If specular lighting is disabled, use base color without using metallic.
* Include a lot of code simplification/cleanup/confusion fix.

Tools can define a function that generates the tooltip using a function,
this takes the tools keymap as an argument which can be used
to extract keys to include in the tip.
A few reasons motivating this change:
* It works well for all devices: mouse, trackpad, and tablet pens.
* For beginners or users coming from other software, it's easier to get
started and avoids an initial stumbling block.
* Many users in 2.7 (about half?) were already using left click select, so
combined with the above advantages it makes for a practical default.
Note that we continue to support right click select, as many experienced
Blender users (and developers) see efficiency advantages in this approach.
The option to switch is in the first time setup splash screen, and in the
user preferences.
We still control this in the viewport collections visibility menu. But
now we are actually changing the visibility of the collections, not of
the objects.
If a collection is indirectly invisible (because one of its parents are
invisible) we gray it out.
Also if you click directly in the collection names, it "isolates" the
collection by hiding all collections, and showing the direct parents and
all the children of the selected collection.
Development Note:
Right now I'm excluding the hidden collections from the depsgraph.
Thus the need for tagging relations to update.
If this proves to be too slow, we can change.
This has been a contentious topic: Artists at the Blender-Studio prefer
this behavior, while the user community overwhelmingly prefers 2.7x
operator search. Previously this defaulted to accessing tools
(eg: Space-T activates transform.. Space-R rotate etc) which I still
believe is a better long term default - otherwise we don't have
efficient tool switching for a system we intend to make more use of,
nevertheless as far as I can tell users haven't been keen on adopting
this so far. Show the preference on the setup screen since many users
don't animate and will may want to quickly search or switch tools.
Not sharing caused duplication in the keymap and
required a factory class generator.
Simplify tool & keymap definitions by sharing them.
It's highly unlikely we will ever want these to use different keys
once they're set as the active tool.
Sometimes the text doesn't fit. What to do in this case?
* Overflow: The default behaviour still is to overflow the text.
* Truncated: If any text box is defined we can also not draw the text
that goes outside the text boxes.
* Scale to Fit: For single-text box texts we can scale down the text until
it fits.
To support textboxes we are bisecting the scale until we find a good
match. Right now the hardcoded iteration limit is 20, and the threshold 0.0001f.
An alternative in the future would be to tackle this by integrating existing
layout engines such as HarfBuzz.
Note: Scale to fit won't work for multiple text-boxes if any of them has
either width or height as zero.

Now it's possible define the blend mode between layers including the option to clamp the layer using underlying layers.
Also a new Simplify option has been added to disable blend layers.
The approach is fairly simple, just apply an edge detection filter to the view normal and scale the brightness based on that.
The overlay is disabled at object boundaries to avoid dark lines around objects.
Generally, this implementation follows the proposal of @monio at https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/J9bbbc.
The changes are:
- Dynamic filter radius (on high-DPI displays, a radius of two is used)
- Options to reduce the strength of both ridges and valleys
- Tweaked function for the strength reduction (the original method actually had a local maximum, resulting in a brighter line inside valleys)
- Multiplication for blending instead of overlay, which doesn't work reliably with scene-referred intensities
- Renamed to point out the distinction between it and the SSAO-based cavity overlay

This commit makes it so that subsurf/multires modifiers will respect
the WITH_OPENSUBDIV option. The WITH_OPENSUBDIV_MODIFIER option is
now gone.
For artists it mean that subsurf modifier will behave same as it is
planned for 2.80. Multires will now support sculpting, but it has some
known limitations. Those will be worked on before the final release.
If OpenSubdiv is disabled, no subsurf/multires functionality will
present.
For the details see:

For users that want the 2.7 LMB keymap behavior, this provides a way of
working without tools interfering. For RMB select this operator is quite
redundant with the Cursor tool, we may have to find a solution for that.
Note that we also might later add transform tweak to the transform tools,
when nothing is selected. But this is important for existing users who
preferred the existing workflow.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
Logic to update child windows on workspace changes should simply ignore
temporary child windows. Users opened those for a specific purpose (i.e. edit
user preferences or show render result). Blender should not come in and
repurpose it.
Most important changes are in the Animation exporter and Animation Importer.
There is still some cleaning up to be done. But the Exporter/Importer basically
work within Blender 2.8
Some details:
User Interface:
The interface has been reorganized to look more like the FBX interface.
New options in user interface:
* keep_keyframes:
When sampling the distance between 2 keyframes is defined by
the sampling rate. Furthermore the keyframes defined in the
FCurves are not exported. However when this option is enabled
then also the defined keyframes will be added to the exported fcurves
* keep_smooth_curves:
When sampling we do not use FCurves. So we also have no Curve handles
for smooth exporting. However when this option is enabled, Blender
does its best to recreate the handles for export. This is a very
experimental feature and it is know to break when:
- the exported animated objects have parent inverse matrices
different from the unit matrix
- The exported objects have negative scaling
There may be many other situations when this feature breaks.
This needs to be further tested. It may be removed later or replaced
by something less wonky.
BlenderContext:
is a new class that contains the bridge to Blender. It contains
pointers to the current export/import context plus derived values
of Depsgraph, Scene, Main
Reporting:
I reorganized the output on the Blender Console to become more
informative and more readable
Preservation of Item names:
name attributes are now encoded with XML entities. This makes
sure that i can export/import names exactly defined in the tool.
This affects material names, bone names and object names.
Hierarchy export:
* Object and Bone Hierarchies are now exported correctly
by taking the Blender parent/child hierarchy into account
* Export also not selected intermediate objects
Problem:
When we export an Object Hierarchy, then we must export
all elements of the hierarchy to maintain the transforms. This
is especially important when exporting animated objects, because the
animation curves are exported as relative curves based on the
parent-child hierarchy. If an intermediate animated object is missing
then the exported animation breaks.
Solution:
If the "Selected" Optioon is enabled, then take care
to also export all objects which are not selected and hidden,
but which are parents of selected objects.
Node Based Material Importer (wip):
Added basic support for Materials with diffuse color and
diffuse textures. More properties (opacity, emission) need
changes in the used shader.
Note: Materials are all constructed by using the principled BSDF shader.
Animation Exporter:
* Massive optimization of the Animation Bake tool (Animation Sampler).
Instead of sampling each fcurve separately, i now sample all
exported fcurves simultaneously. So i avoid many (many!)
scene updates during animation export.
* Add support for Continuous Acceleration (Fcurve handles)
This allows us to create smoother FCurves during importing Collada
Animation curves. Possibly this should become an option ionstead of
a fixed import feature.
* Add support for sampling curves (to bake animations)
* The animation sampler now can be used for any animation curve.
Before the sampler only looked at curves which are supported by
Standard Collada 1.4. However the Collada exporter currently
ignores all animation curves which are not covered by the 1.4.1
Collada Standards. There is still some room for improvements
here (work in progres)
Known issues:
* Some exports do currently not work reliably, among those
are the camera animations, material animations and light animations
those animations will be added back next (work in progres)
* Exporting animation curves with keyframes (and tangents)
sometimes results in odd curves (when parent inverse matrix is involved)
This needs to be checked in more depth (probably it can not be solved).
* Export of "all animations in scene" is disabled because the
Collada Importer can not handle this reliably at the
moment (work in progres).
* Support for Animation Clip export
Added one extra level to the exported animations
such that now all scene animations are enclosed:
<Animation name="id_name(ob)_Action">
<Animation>...</Animation>
...
</Animation>
Animation Importer:
* Import of animations for objects with multiple materials
When importing multiple materials for one object,
the imported material animation curves have all been
assigned to the first material in the object.
Error handling (wip):
The Importer was a bit confused as it sometimes ignored fatal
parsing errors and continued to import. I did my best to
unconfuse it, but i believe that this needs to be tested more.
Refactoring:

... : many more small changes, not helpful to list them all
- Z shows pie menu (removed wire/xray toggles).
- Alt-Z toggles x-ray.
- Shift-Z toggles wireframe.
- Shift-Alt-Z toggles overlays.
Note that toggle overlays had no binding for 2.7x,
this is likely not a heavily used option and could even be left out.
* Move type-specific options first.
Allows to get quicker access to settings like Shading Smooth/Flat
by pressing W -> S/F, or camera or light settings.
* Lights: Rename Strength to Energy
* Lights: Show Energy when using EEVEE
Changed to correct disclosure triangles everywhere,
added new icon for Output Properties,
added new icons for Image & Empty types in Add menu,
added icons for add-on types, plus other tweaks and adjustments.
Wasn't working well with armatures used ctrl-tab
to switch to pose mode, making tab always switch to pose mode
w/ this preference enabled.
Now always show pie-menu.
Pretty much all were missing those here... Put all in same category for
image, tried to sort them logically for Clip, since we already had at
least two (stabilization and 'misc')... sigh.
Another topic for UI team to work on I guess.
* Annotation tools now have Alt+LMB as for erase, like sculpt.
* In the LMB keymap, Shift+RMB drag now transforms 3D cursor for easy snapping.
* Curve edit mode draw is now only availble as tool, solves 3D cursor conflict.
Grease Pencil already implements support for full-featured
per-brush pressure curves, but it is useful to have some
basic global settings that affect all brushes and tools.
This adds two simple options:
- Raw pressure required to achieve full brush intensity.
- Softness control, using a gamma curve internally.
The most important one is the max pressure setting, because it is
critical for ergonomics, but the Linux Wacom driver lacks it.
The softness option internally converts to gamma = 4^-softness.

* 3D Viewport grid adjustment to work with both bright/dark viewports (e.g. 2D Animation)
* Match header/grid of NLA with Dopesheet/Graph Editor.
* Avoid pure whites in unselected/inactive text.
* Darken the scrollbar numbers.
Use the same data format and loader that the default key-maps use.
This supports nested properties (needed for macros)
and fixes modal key-maps which weren't supported.
This format still needs to be documented.
bpy_extras were meant to be useful high-level helper functions for
script authors to perform common operations,
to avoid writing to verbose API's.
bpy_extras.keymap_utils contains some specialized API calls
mainly intended for Blender's own internal use.
Move keymap import export to internal API.
Only use confirmation w/ X-key since this is more likely to be pressed
by accident. Delete-key delete doesn't confirm.
Part of D3953 by @Zachman w/ edits
Most themes have missing/wrong settings due to the new editors in 2.8
A Call-for-content has been made at devtalk.blender.org for the community to contribute new ones.
When the toolbar is accessed with modifiers (eg shift-space):
- Check if we can use the key without any modifiers to set the cursor.
- Pie-menu stile release event no longer checks for modifiers.
Blender defaults data-file was loading it's own key-map
with a capital 'B', the preset would load it again w/ a lowercase name.
Use lowercase key-map names.
Both the active tools and selection are now on LMB, which leads to
various conflicts.
For that reason the LMB keymap now has a couple of differences
compared to before. These changes do not affect the RMB keymap.
* Context Menu: W -> RMB
* Select Tool activate: None -> W
* Set Cursor: RMB -> Shift+RMB
* Loop Select: Alt+LMB -> double click LMB
* Mask Feather Vertex Slide: Shift+RMB -> Ctrl+Shift+RMB
* Node Select: only with LMB now, no RMB
The idea behind the W key Select Tool shortcut is that various
tools can't be combined with selection, unlike the RMB keymap.
So this works as a quick shortcut to drop a tool
and go back to selection.
Tools: set Select Box tool as default, rather than Cursor.
This goes along with coming LMB select keymap changes,
where we want the user to be able to LMB click to select by default,
rather than set the cursor.
The cursor will still be directly setabble with shift+RMB.
Currently the filenames are used when setting keymaps.
This hard coded naming meant the preset and setting function
need to be kept in sync.
Prefer to not have hard coded replacements which need to be duplicated.
For Blender builtin configurations the option to choose the select mouse remains
and is now also in the splash screen. It works by changing the keymap dynamically
in the script, rather than using special events.
The system of automatic switching of events was not flexible enough to deal with
side effects that require further keymap changes, so it is now under more manual
control in the script.
This breaks compatibility for some scripts and exported key configurations.
These can be fixed by replacing SELECTMOUSE, ACTIONMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_S and
EVT_TWEAK_A with appropriate LEFTMOUSE, RIGHTMOUSE, EVT_TWEAK_L and
EVT_TWEAK_R events.
Other than that, there should be no functional changes.
This setting can be tweaked to improve glossy reflection cubemaps.
It increases the sample count for each roughness level.
This settings affect the lookdev mode quality as well.
This enables reducing the noise comming from very bright light sources
(like a sun) that can be found in distant HDRIs.
The lost energy may be replaced manually by a sunlight that compensate the
this loss.
This clamping only concerns Reflection Cubmaps and is done on all on all
of them.
Setting to 0.0 disables it (default).
Right now we have a different behaviour whether users click on the name or on
the visibility eye.
When clicking on the eye, it is a toggle. When clicking in the name, you
are isolating this collection (unless you use shift).
As for the UI I tried using separator_spacer, but it was more work than
worth. A lot of sub panels, and LEFT/RIGHT alignment work just fine.
This is a parameter that will make the interpolation between irradiance
cells of a same Irradiance Volume smoother, reducing the weight of the
light leaking correction factors.
It is usefull in some cases to avoid harsh lighting transition that can
happen when a sample point it near a surface.
This is an important change. Starting from now, all lights have a finite
influence radius (similar to the old sphere option for BI).
In order to avoid costly setup time, this distance is first computed
automatically based on a light threshold. The distance is computed
at the light origin and using the inverse square falloff. The setting
can be found inside the render settings panel > shadow tab.
This light threshold does not take the light shape into account an may not
suit every case. That's why we provide a per lamp override where you can
just set the cutt off distance (Light Properties Panel > Light >
Custom Distance).
The influence distance is also used as shadow far clip distance.
This influence distance does not concerns sun lights that still have a
far clip distance.
---
This change is important because it makes it possible to cull lights
an improve performance drastically in the future.
This brings the functionality currently in the H shortcut, to hide/show
individual collections.
In order to convey hierarchy, and to make justice to the originally
intended 1-10 shortcuts, we group the collections per siblings.
