correct with multiple render layers.
This case is somewhat weak, we now do a few more checks on sync than I would
like, but it's not too bad.

* Add a "Total Samples" info at the bottom of the panel.
This makes understanding the Non-Progressive integrator easier, as it displays how many samples are used for the different ray types.
* Rename Squared Samples to Square samples, to indicate that the action is not already done. The new Total Samples info should make this easier to understand now as well. Also added back for Progressive integrator, for consistency.

New features:
* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:

Work in progress for feedback:
Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.
This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.
Skin test render and file that takes advantage of the gaussian falloff:

change r58999 was ignoring the "show_emitter" setting by particles (the result would be the same as long as hair was not
used). If particle emitters are forced to show all other of the usual duplicator hiding should be disabled.

the hair in some cases.

* Add a "Squared Samples" option to the UI, to use squared values for ease of use. This can make it easier from an artist point of view, to weak settings.
With this enabled, all Sample values will be squared. So 10 Samples become 100 Samples.
For the Non-Progressive integrator: 4 AA Samples * 5 Diffuse Samples would become 16 AA Samples * 25 Diffuse = 400 in total.

without
multiple importance sampling, so you can disable them for diffuse/glossy/transmission.
The Light Path node here is still weak and does not give this info. To make that
work we'd need to evaluate the shader multiple times which is slow and we can't
detect well enough when it is actually needed.

big lamps and sharp glossy reflections. This was already supported for mesh
lights and the background, so lamps should do it too.
This is not for free and it's a bit slower than I hoped even though there is
no extra BVH ray intersection. I'll try to optimize it more later.
* Area lights look a bit different now, they had the wrong shape before.
* Also fixes a sampling issue in the non-progressive integrator.
* Only enabled for the CPU, will test on the GPU later.
* An option to disable this will be added for situations where it does not help.

Patch [#33445] - Experimental Cycles Hair Rendering (CPU only)
This patch allows hair data to be exported to cycles and introduces a new line segment primitive to render with.
The UI appears under the particle tab and there is a new hair info node available.
It is only available under the experimental feature set and for cpu rendering.

and as mask layer. Now it will still use the mask, and have no further influence
rather than just being excluded entirely.

There were a bunch of other issues with dupli motion blur and syncing, the problem
being that there was no proper way to detect corresponding duplis between frames
or updates. As a solution, a persistent_id was added to the DupliObject. It's an
extension of the previous index value, with one index for each dupli level. This
can be used to reliably find matching dupli objects between frames. Works with
nested duplis, multiple particle systems, etc.

averaged tangents at UV seams but instead now the seams will show as discontinuities
in the tangent.

inconsistency in the particle system code, using <= and <. Also tightened up
checks on cycles side to avoid other potential crashes.

secondary instances with "show emitter" disabled. This requires checking the duplicator visibility on dupli objects themselves after generating the dupli-list.
The emitter visibility option is messy design, it makes such checks unnecessarily complicated. A better approach would be to allow non-mesh objects to carry particle data, these objects would just be invisible anyway without having to care about extra settings. However, this conflicts with the simplistic particle design of "owner is the emitter" ...

Still more work needed to get object motion blur ready.

Generated and UV coordinates from the duplicator of instance instead of the
object itself.
This was used in e.g. Big Buck Bunny for texturing instanced feathers with
a UV map on the bird. Many files changed, mainly to do some refactoring to
get rid of G.rendering global in duplilist code.

Regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to save memory
during render and cache render results.

fixed in the dependency graph so it gives a proper signal but that would need a
bigger refactor.

first particle in the device texture is a dummy for non-instance objects using the particle info node.
|
|
The particle data used by the Particle Info node was stored in cycles as a list in each object. This is a problem when the particle emitter mesh is hidden: Objects in cycles are only intended as instances of renderable meshes, so when hiding the emitter mesh the particle data doesn't get stored either. Also the particle data can potentially be copied to multiple instances of the same object, which is a waste of texture space.
The solution in this patch is to make a completely separate list of particle systems in the Cycles scene data. This way the particle data can be generated even when the emitter object itself is not visible.

direct and indirect lighting differently. Rather than picking one light for each
point on the path, it now loops over all lights for direct lighting. For indirect
lighting it still picks a random light each time.
It gives control over the number of AA samples, and the number of Diffuse, Glossy,
Transmission, AO, Mesh Light, Background and Lamp samples for each AA sample.
This helps tuning render performance/noise and tends to give less noise for renders
dominated by direct lighting.
This sampling mode only works on the CPU, and still needs proper tile rendering
to show progress (will follow tommorrow or so), because each AA sample can be quite
slow now and so the delay between each update wil be too long.

'index' member to identify dupli objects, but this is not unique and in fact just 0 in most cases. Needs to use a simple dupli list counter instead.

information in material shaders for dupli objects. For now only the particle Age and individual Lifetime (in frames) are supported, more attributes can be added when needed.
The particle data is stored in a separate texture if any of the dupli objects uses particle info nodes in shaders. To map dupli objects onto particles the store an additional particle_index value, which is different from the simple dupli object index (only visible particles, also works for particle dupli groups mode).

pass index, and a random number unique to the instance of the object.
This can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to
multiple instances, either manually controlled through the object index, based
on the object location, or randomized for each instance.

rather than viewport visibility, is more useful that way.

Fix: texture coordinate normal output was not correct, still changed under

Most of the changes are related to adding support for motion data throughout
the code. There's some code for actual camera/object motion blur raytracing
but it's unfinished (it badly slows down the raytracing kernel even when the
option is turned off), so that code it disabled still.
Motion vector export from Blender tries to avoid computing derived meshes
when the mesh does not have a deforming modifier, and it also won't store
motion vectors for every vertex if only the object or camera is moving.
