Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Blender allows animating the active camera selection (i.e. scene.camera)
by binding cameras to markers in the timeline. The dependency graph was
completely ignoring this by not building nodes for these cameras (it is
possible to reference a camera not directly included in the scene), and
not taking this into account in driver relations.
This change ensures that all cameras are included in the dependency
graph, and any drivers referencing scene.camera get dependencies on
all cameras of the timeline, and also time itself to ensure switches
are processed.
Pull Request #110139
This data-block was originally added in eb4e3bbe68.
However, that original plan wasn't fully implemented, with simulations
now integrated with geometry nodes and modifiers instead of a separate
data-block. We kept the data-block around anyway since we have the
loose plan of using a similar data-block to make global simulations
connected between multiple objects. But it may be a while before we
implement that, and in the meantime having this just causes confusion.
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/
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.
Drivers: Introduce the Context Properties
The goal: allow accessing context dependent data, such as active scene camera
without linking to a specific scene data-block. This is useful in cases when,
for example, geometry node setup needs to be aware of the camera position.
A possible work-around without changes like this is to have some scene
evaluation hook which will update driver variables for the currently evaluating
scene. But this raises an issue of linking: it is undesirable that the asset
scene is linked to the shot file.
Surely, it is possible to have post-evaluation handler to clear the variables,
but it all starts to be quite messy. Not to mention possible threading
conflicts.
Another possibility of introducing a way to achieve the goal is to make it so
the dependency graph somehow parses the python expression where artists can
(and already are trying to) type something like:
depsgraph.scene.camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]
But this is not only tricky to implement properly and reliably, it hits two
limitations:
- Currently dependency graph can only easily resolve dependencies to a RNA
property.
- Some properties access which are valid in Python are not considered valid
RNA properties by the existing property resolution functions:
`camera.matrix_world[3][0]` is a valid RNA property, but
`camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]` is not.
Using driver variables allows to have visual feedback when the path resolution
fails, and there is no way to visualize errors in the python expression itself.
This change introduces the new variable type: Context Property. Using this
variable type makes allows to choose between Active Scene and Active View
Layer. These scene and view layer are resolved during the driver evaluation
time, based on the current dependency graph.
This allows to create a driver variable in the following configuration:
- Type: Context Property
- Context Property: Active Scene
- Path: camera.matrix_world[3][0]
The naming is a bit confusing. Tried my best to keep it clear keeping two
aspects in mind: using UI naming when possible, and follow the existing
naming.
A lot of the changes are related on making it so the required data is available
from the variable evaluation functions. It wasn't really clear what the data
would be, and the scope of the changes, so it is done together with the
functional changes.
It seems that there is some variable evaluation logic duplicated in the
`bpy_rna_driver.c`. This change does not change it. It is not really clear why
this separate code path with much more limited scope of supported target types
is even needed.
There is also a possible change in the behavior of the dependency graph: it
is now using ID of the resolved path when building driver variables. It used
to use the variable ID. In common cases they match, but when going into nested
data-blocks it is actually correct to use relation to the resolved ID. Not sure
if there was some code to ensure that, which now can be resolved. Also not sure
whether it is still needed to ensure the ID specified in the driver target is
build as well. Intuitively it is not needed.
Pull Request #105132
Base it in an existing building blocks rather than having dedicated
structure for it.
No functional changes is expected, just preparing to make the code
more reusable.
Make it so find type of methods receive const pointers and do not
modify graph topology.
The latter was violated in the find_operation() which could have
created an empty component. This is not intended behavior.
No functional changes is expected.
The internal state tracking is not fully suited for such kind
of optimization yet.
It is probably not that much work to make them work, but the
issue caused by the changes is serious enough for the studio
so it feels better to revert changes for now and have a closer
look into remaining issues without pressure.
A regression since ac20970bc2
The issue was caused by depsgraph clearing all id->recalc flags
wrongly assuming that all IDs are fully evaluated.
This change makes it so the depsgraph becomes aware of possibly
incompletely evaluated IDs.

This commit adds a node that generates a text paragraph as curve
instances. The inputs on the node control the overall shape of the
paragraph, and other nodes can be used to move the individual instances
afterwards. To output more than one line, the "Special Characters" node
can be used.
The node outputs instances instead of real geometry so that it doesn't
have to duplicate work for every character afterwards. This is much
more efficient, because all of the curve evaluation and nodes like fill
curve don't have to repeat the same calculation for every instance of
the same character.
In the future, the instances component will support attributes, and the
node can output attribute fields like "Word Index" and "Line Index".

When the same stroke was used as a driver variable, this could make this
stroke already tagged as built in the course of building driver
variables (via `build_gpencil`), but then important stuff from
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` could be missed later on (because
both of these funtions use `checkIsBuiltAndTag`). Most importantly,
setting up operations such as GEOMETRY_EVAL would be skipped entirely.
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` seems to cover greasepencil just
fine (does the same as `build_gpencil` and more). Proposed solution is to
remove `build_gpencil` entirely. In `build_id` it would then also call
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` for `ID_GD` IDs. Now the covered
types that _call_ `build_object_data_geometry_datablock` match exactly
to what is covered _inside_ `build_object_data_geometry_datablock`.
Think this "duplication" of functionality was just overseen in
rB66da2f537ae8 [`build_gpencil` existed long before and said commit made
greasepencil a real object with geometry and such].

Root of the issue was actually hidden deep in depsgraph itself: it would
not properly update all of its COW IDs using a datablock when depsgraph
decides to evaluate or un-evaluate it.
This would lead to evaluated IDs pointing to either:
- orig IDs when there was an evaluated version of those (annoying bug,
but not a crashing one).
- old address of previously evaluated IDs that no longer exists in the
depsgraph (causing the crash from the report e.g.).
This commit adds an extra step at the end of nodes building, that goes
over all of already existing IDs in the depsgraph to check whether they
do one of the two things above, and tag them for COW update if so.
NOTE: This only affects depsgraph (re-)building, not its evaluation.
This remains consistent with the fact that operations that may change
the depsgraph content (like Collection exclusion etc.) need to trigger a
rebuild.
NOTE: Performances: Worst case scenarii, like (un-)excluding a whole
character collection in a production file, lead to 5% to 10% extra
processing time in depsgraph building. Most of it comming from extra COW
processing (in depsgraph's update in `build_step_finalize`), the detection
loop itself only accounts for 1% to 2% of the whole building time.

Building IDs which are not covered by copy-on-write process was not
implemented, which was causing parameters block not present, and, hence
causing crashes in areas which expected parameters to present.
First part of this change is related on making it so Copy-on-Write is
optional for ID nodes in the dependency graph.
Second part is related on using a generic builder for all ID types
which were not covered by Copy-on-Write before.
The final part is related on making it so build_id() is properly
handling ParticleSettings and Grease Pencil Data. Before they were not
covered there at all, and they need special handling because they do
have own build functions.
Not sure it worth trying to split those parts, as they are related to
each other and are not really possible to be tested standalone. Open
for a second opinion though.
Possible nut-tightening is to re-organize build_id() function so
that every branch does return and have an assert at the end, so that
missing ID type in the switch statement is easier to spot even when
using compilers which do not report missing switch cases.
As for question "why not use default" the answer is: to make it more
explicit and clear what is a decision when adding new ID types. We do
not want to quietly fall-back to a non-copy-on-write case for a newly
added ID types.

The fix for the crash exposed design violation in the viewport shading updates,

The root of the issue was caused by the dependency graph using ID pointer
to map evaluated state from old depsgraph to new one upon relations update.
This was failing when IDs were re-allocated rapidly: was possible that
Object ID's evaluated state assigned to Mesh and vice versa.
Now depsgraph uses Session UUID to identify which IDs to restore evaluated
state to. The session UUID is stored in the IDNode, so that id_orig is not
dereferenced on depsgraph update since the ID might be freed.
The root of the issue is identified by Campbell, original patch was done
by Bastien, thanks! Also thanks to Oliver and Ray and everyone else for
testing!
A driver reading `Object.hide_viewport` would break when that object was
hidden. Hidden objects don't have the `OBJECT_BASE_FLAGS` node in the
depsgraph, but that node was required for the driver to work.
Now the `OBJECT_FROM_LAYER` component (which optionally contains the
`OBJECT_FROM_LAYER` node) has explicit `ENTRY` and `EXIT` nodes, which
are used for relations with other components. These relations now remain
valid, even when the `OBJECT_FROM_LAYER` node is absent.

More detailed symptoms: there was no curve cache created for an object
which was used by draw manager.
A bit tricky situation, which involves collection instances and their
proxies.
The root of the problem in the dependency graph was that instanced
collections visibility was not updated when object is requested with
different visibility. So what was happening is that one of the objects
was pulled as an indirect dependency of something invisible, so it
built instanced collections as if the instancer is invisible. After
that the same object was built as visible. Before this fix this was
only update object flags, the instanced collections still believed they
are invisible. Since there is no path via relations which would connect
visible object with instanced objects the visibility flush which is
happening during graph finalization did not "fix" the visibility flags.
This change makes it so instanced collections are updating their
visibility when their instancer's visibility is changing to truth.
This is similar to how collections will accumulate their visibility
when same collection is used from multiple ones with different
visibility.
However, this alone wasn't enough to get crash fixed. This marked
collections as visible, but the geometry component of the curve object
was still considering self as invisible.
This is something tricky, since the code which is responsible for this
issue was added as an optimization in afb4da6650. This looks like like
an oversight in that commit since it's rather weird that ID node's
flag would depend on construction order (in "normal" object builder the
ID node's directly_visible flag is initialized to object's visibility).
So it seems logical to get this part of code in sync between "regular"
and "accumulative" object builder.
And last but not least the naming is_directly_visible is old and does
not really represent what it actually mans now: a more correct name
would be "will be used by the draw manager".

This fixes an issue where drivers using `object.dimension` only add a dependency on `GEOMETRY` to the depsgraph, whereas they should also depend on `TRANSFORM`.
This patch adds a new no-op operation that depends on the geometry and transform components to the Parameters component.
An alternative implementation would be to have `RNANodeQuery::construct_node_identifier` return multiple node identifiers. However, this would spread throughout the depsgraph code and unnecessarily force many other functions to either return or handle multiple nodes where in 99.999% of the time a single node would suffice.
The new `DIMENSIONS` node is added for each object. An upcoming patch will go over all no-op operation nodes and remove them from the depsgraph. Since this is a more dangerous operation, it'll be reviewed separately.

FreeStyle line styles were not part of the dependency graph, and
blacklisted from the Copy-on-Write system. As a result, animated
FreeStyle properties would not be updated by the animation system,
resulting in T72213. There was an explicit call to run the animation
system on the original datablocks, but that was (for good reasons)
removed in D5394.
This commit adds the FreeStyleLineStyle datablocks to the dependency
graph and allows them to be handled by the CoW system. As a result
- the UI now updates properly when properties are animated, and
- animated property values are actually used when rendering.
This commit includes @Sergey's patch P1222, which unifies two bits of
code that did the same thing: check whether datablock type is covered by
copy-on-write.
