That feature will not be ready (or at least, not tested enough) to be
officially part of 2.80 beta. So we disable it by default, hidding it
behind a startup option (`--enable-static-override`), and a python
app var (`bpy.app.use_static_override`).
That way, people who really want to play with it can do it easily, while
not exposing/enabling non-production-ready feature by default.
Note that underlying override code remains active, i.e. files we do have
overridden data-blocks will be loaded correctly according to static override.
Terms get/set don't make much sense when casting values.
Name macros so the conversion is obvious,
use common prefix for easier completion.
- GET_INT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_INT
- SET_INT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_INT
- GET_UINT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_UINT
- SET_UINT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_UINT
Without this, there was no simple way to have
launchers for different app-templates.
Also allows force-disabling the app-template stored in the preferences.
This commit merge the full development done in greasepencil-object branch and include mainly the following features.
- New grease pencil object.
- New drawing engine.
- New grease pencil modes Draw/Sculpt/Edit and Weight Paint.
- New brushes for grease pencil.
- New modifiers for grease pencil.
- New shaders FX.
- New material system (replace old palettes and colors).
- Split of annotations (old grease pencil) and new grease pencil object.
- UI adapted to blender 2.8.

This is the result of nearly two years of development and I want thanks firstly the other members of the grease pencil team: Daniel M. Lara, Matias Mendiola and Joshua Leung for their support, ideas and to keep working in the project all the time, without them this project had been impossible.
Also, I want thanks other Blender developers for their help, advices and to be there always to help me, and specially to Clément Foucault, Dalai Felinto, Pablo Vázquez and Campbell Barton.
Unbuffered stdout makes stdout and stderr better synchronised, and helps
when stepping through code in a debugger (prints are immediately
visible). We don't output much to stdout anyway, so this isn't likely to
cause any performance issues.
This is really convenient for development. Either for profiling the
generated shaders or to check if the generated code is correct.
It writes the shaders to the temporary blender session folder.
(ported over from blender2.8)
After discussion with Sergey and Dalai, we have decided to remove
this option completely. We're getting to the point where it is almost
impossible to really use 2.8 without COW, and keeping the old option
running ends up diverting dev resources away towards tracking down
and fixing problems with a parallel system that will be going away.
As was decided at today's dev kickoff, we're now moving to having
Copy-on-Write enabled by default, as 2.8 is barely functional with
it off.
To run Blender *without* COW (e.g. for testing), use:
--disable-copy-on-write
The Studio lights are now loaded from disk. The location is
`datafiles/studiolights` they need to be JPG for now. JPG cannot store
HDRI color range but they are clamped inside the Workbench
engine for speed reason. I didn't select JP2K as it might not be
enabled.
Users can add upto 20 HDRI files. This limitation is inside the
RNA_space.c Currently the icons are calculated when you first open the
selection box for the HDRI's. We could add them to a background
rendering later.
I added 2 test files a sky texture rendered in Cycles and an HDRI from
cloud.blender.org.
This feature is limited (only byte PPM output, no multi-view),
only works with specific configurations.
This also causes some maintenance overhead
when testing changes to the render pipeline.
