Reported: once extruded, a part is hard to read; the lighting says
little about its shape. Both lights of the object shaders sit near the
camera, so the sides of a part come out in almost the same tone, and
nothing marks where one face ends and the next begins.
- The phong shader gains a studio lighting model, chosen by a new
lighting_model uniform: a sky/ground hemisphere in world space (up
faces cool and bright, down faces warm and dark), a key light from the
upper left and a weak fill from the right, a plastic-like highlight,
and a darker base with a faint sheen toward the silhouette so curved
faces read as round. GLCanvas3D::set_studio_lighting() makes a canvas
draw its objects with it whatever the realistic-view preferences; only
the Design canvas turns it on. Every canvas sets the uniform on each
use, 0 for the slicer's, so they render as before.
- Every B-rep edge of a body is drawn as a thin dark line over it, depth
tested and pulled a few pixels toward the eye so it wins against the
faces meeting at it and hides behind the faces in front. The seam of a
closed surface and degenerate edges are left out
(GeometryEngine::display_edges). Edges are sampled once per shape and
kept across recomputes that leave a body unchanged; bodies faded by
body focus get fainter edges, and a dress-up previewing its result
alone hides them with the bodies.
Tests: display_edges gives a box its 12 edges at their lengths, a
cylinder its two round rims without the seam, a cone its base rim
without the seam or the apex.

- Bake: each layer is sampled only on its own painted area; analytic
projections used to stack every layer over every painted region, so the
top layer's texture showed on all of them (colour sampler too)
- Auto resolution follows the texture's texel size and sharpness again
- Unwrap: charts cut by each face's own normal (a cube gives 6 islands, not
12 triangles); non-disk charts (tubes, closed shells) are split until they
flatten; connected nets test real triangle overlap, grow from the largest
chart and are packed side by side
- UV edits are stored per unwrapped copy, so dragging a seam vertex no
longer moves its copies in neighbouring islands
- UV pane: tool strip with unwrap settings moved in from the panel, sharp
HiDPI icons, clearer island/edge/selection drawing with hover, texture
picker from the thumbnail, texture no longer lost on reopen (GL state
from the 3D view, background upload retries)
- Panel: whole-model select/erase as icons in the tools row; inactive
layers' paint shown muted; colour textures shown in colour in the picker
- Built-in displacement texture library
- Tests for unwrap segmentation, connected nets, UV edits and per-layer
sampling
* Expose Antialiasing velues
Expose Antialiasing multipliers.
Default to 4 as current implementation but enables the user to disable it to improve performante or increase sampling to improve quality.
* FXAA
* Improve descriptions
* Require restart when MSAA setting changes
Detect changes to the OpenGL MSAA (multisample anti-aliasing) preference when opening Preferences and prompt the user to restart the application to apply the change. Adds a constant key for the MSAA setting, stores the previous value, checks for changes (similar to the existing FXAA handling), and shows a warning dialog explaining the restart will close the current project without saving. If the user accepts, recreate_GUI is invoked to apply the MSAA change immediately.
* Revert "Require restart when MSAA setting changes"
This reverts commit dde134d346c3849598c91d025d2faed1b51c8a22.
* Menu and FPS options
* Fix FPS limiter and remove VSYNC
* Grouped FPS settings and mode up rigth fps counter
