This is from patch D13988. It removes the "- New" from the menu of the
new obj exporter, changes the default addon to just io_import_obj,
and does the right versioning thing.
Also disables the python tests for the old python exporter.
For node groups there is no good default preview generation.
Nevertheless, t would be useful to generate a preview image for a
node group by rendering an object in some cases.
This commit adds a new operator that allows updating the preview
image for the active asset by rendering the active object.
Note, the operator can also be used for other asset types, not just
node groups.
The operator can be found in a menu right below the refresh-preview
button. Currently it is the only operator in that menu. In the future,
more operators to create previews may be added.

This implements a merge by distance operation for point clouds.
Besides the geometry input, there are two others-- a selection
input to limit the operation to certain points, and the merge
distance. While it would be a reasonable feature, the distance
does not support a field currently, since that would make
the algorithm significantly more complex.
All attributes are merged to the merged points, with the values
mixed together. This same generic method is used for all attributes,
including `position`. The `id` attribute uses the value from the
first merged index for each point.
For the implementation, most of the effort goes into creating a
merge map to speed up attribute mixing. Some parts are inherently
single-threaded, like finding the final indices accounting for the
merged points. By far most of the time is spend balancing the
KD tree.
Mesh support will be added in the next commit.

This patch introduces an extrude node with three modes. The vertex mode
is quite simple, and just attaches new edges to the selected vertices.
The edge mode attaches new faces to the selected edges. The faces mode
extrudes patches of selected faces, or each selected face individually,
depending on the "Individual" boolean input.
The default value of the "Offset" input is the mesh's normals, which
can be scaled with the "Offset Scale" input.
**Attribute Propagation**
Attributes are transferred to the new elements with specific rules.
Attributes will never change domains for interpolations. Generally
boolean attributes are propagated with "or", meaning any connected
"true" value that is mixed in for other types will cause the new value
to be "true" as well. The `"id"` attribute does not have any special
handling currently.
Vertex Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of selected vertices.
- Edge: Averaged values of selected edges. For booleans, edges are
selected if any connected edges are selected.
Edge Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected extruded
edges. For booleans, the edges are selected if any connected
extruded edges are selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of selected edges.
- Face: Averaged values of all faces connected to the selected edge.
For booleans, faces are selected if any connected original faces
are selected.
- Corner: Averaged values of corresponding corners in all faces
connected to selected edges. For booleans, corners are selected
if one of those corners are selected.
Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of connected selected
edges, not including the edges "on top" of extruded regions.
For booleans, edges are selected when any connected extruded edges
were selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
Individual Face Mode
- Vertex: Copied values of extruded vertices.
- Connecting edges (vertical): Average values of the two neighboring
edges on each extruded face. For booleans, edges are selected
when at least one neighbor on the extruded face was selected.
- Duplicate edges: Copied values of extruded edges.
- Face: Copied values of the corresponding selected faces.
- Corner: Copied values of corresponding corners in selected faces.
**Differences from edit mode**
In face mode (non-individual), the behavior can be different than the
extrude tools in edit mode-- this node doesn't handle keeping the back-
faces around in the cases that the edit mode tools do. The planned
"Solidify" node will handle that use case instead. Keeping this node
simpler and faster is preferable at this point, especially because that
sort of "smart" behavior is not that predictable and makes less sense
in a procedural context.
In the future, an "Even Offset" option could be added to this node
hopefully fairly simply. For now it is left out in order to keep
the patch simpler.
**Implementation**
For the implementation, the `Mesh` data structure is used directly
rather than converting to `BMesh` and back like D12224. This optimizes
for large extrusion operations rather than many sequential extrusions.
While this is potentially more verbose, it has some important benefits:
First, there is no conversion to and from `BMesh`. The code only has
to fill arrays and it can do that all at once, making each component of
the algorithm much easier to optimize. It also makes the attribute
interpolation more explicit, and likely faster. Only limited topology
maps must be created in most cases.
While there are some necessary loops and allocations with the size of
the entire mesh, I tried to keep everything I could on the order of the
size of the selection rather than the size of the mesh. In that respect,
the individual faces mode is the best, since there is no topology
information necessary, and the amount of work just depends on the size
of the selection.
Modifying an existing mesh instead of generating a new one was a bit
of a toss-up, but has a few potential benefits:
- Avoids manually copying over attribute data for original elements.
- Avoids some overhead of creating a new mesh.
- Can potentially take advantage of future ammortized mesh growth.
This could be changed easily if it turns out to be the wrong choice.

With object collection properties open there was a huge delay when
switching active objects in a large scene, (~10k objects, ~5m vertices).
This is due to a non-optimal function to query all the collections the object is in.
To solve this the code can be simplified by using `bpy.types.Object.users_collection`
This returns all the collections the object is in removing the need to compute this in python.
This node can scale individual edges and faces. When multiple selected
faces/edges share the same vertices, they are scaled together.
The center and scaling factor is averaged in this case.
For some examples see D13757.

Currently there is no way to flip normals in geometry nodes. This node
makes that possible by flipping the winding order of selected faces.
The node is purposely not called "Flip Normals", because normals are
derived data, changing them is only a side effect. The real change is
that the vertex and edge indices in the face corners of every selected
polygon are reversed, and face corner attribute data is reversed.
While there are existing utilities to flip a polygon and its custom
data, this node aims to process an attribute's data together instead
of processing all attributes separately for each index.

Editing of generic attributes on the original objects in edit modes is
still very limited. However, when applying a geometry nodes modifier
that generates new attributes. These attributes will show up in the
Attributes panel.
Currently, our exporters are not capable of exporting generic attributes.
Therefore, for the time being, a work around is to apply geometry nodes
and then convert a generic attribute to a task specific attribute like a
uv map, vertex group or vertex color layer. Once more parts of Blender
support generic attributes, this will become less important.
Currently, only meshes are supported by the operator. However, it would
be relatively easy to extend it to other geometry types.

This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.

Override layers are a standard feature of Alembic, where archives can override
data from other archives, provided that the hierarchies match.
This is useful for modifying a UV map, updating an animation, or even creating
some sort of LOD system where low resolution meshes are swapped by high resolution
versions.
It is possible to add UV maps and vertex colors using this system, however, they
will only appear in the spreadsheet editor when viewing evaluated data, as the UV
map and Vertex color UI only show data present on the original mesh.
Implementation wise, this adds a `CacheFileLayer` data structure to the `CacheFile`
DNA, as well as some operators and UI to present and manage the layers. For both
the Alembic importer and the Cycles procedural, the main change is creating an
archive from a list of filepaths, instead of a single one.
After importing the base file through the regular import operator, layers can be added
to or removed from the `CacheFile` via the UI list under the `Override Layers` panel
located in the Mesh Sequence Cache modifier. Layers can also be moved around or
hidden.

This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.

This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).
