Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.

* Split render/ into scene/ and session/. The scene/ folder now contains the
scene and its nodes. The session/ folder contains the render session and
associated data structures like drivers and render buffers.
* Move top level kernel headers into new folders kernel/camera/, kernel/film/,
kernel/light/, kernel/sample/, kernel/util/
* Move integrator related kernel headers into kernel/integrator/
* Move OSL shaders from kernel/shaders/ to kernel/osl/shaders/
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.

Happens i.e. when changing compute device.
A more proper follow-up to the on-demand display driver creation change.
|
|
Create display early on, so that ready_to_reset() passes assert test
for use for display actually configured.
|
|
When baking in a debug build running gdb it kept asserting because a GL context was being created outside the main thread.
To fix this the patch only creates the GL context is only created for rendering (when it is actually used).

* Split GPUDisplay into two classes. PathTraceDisplay to implement the Cycles side,
and DisplayDriver to implement the host application side. The DisplayDriver is now
a fully abstract base class, embedded in the PathTraceDisplay.
* Move copy_pixels_to_texture implementation out of the host side into the Cycles side,
since it can be implemented in terms of the texture buffer mapping.
* Move definition of DeviceGraphicsInteropDestination into display driver header, so
that we do not need to expose private device headers in the public API.
* Add more detailed comments about how the DisplayDriver should be implemented.
The "driver" terminology might not be obvious, but is also used in other renderers.

For Cycles, when enabling the Persistent Data option, the full render data
will be preserved from frame-to-frame in animation renders and between
re-renders of the scene. This means that any modifier evaluation, BVH
building, OpenGL vertex buffer uploads, etc, can be done only once for
unchanged objects. This comes at an increased memory cost.
Previously there option was named Persistent Images and had a more limited
impact on render time and memory.
When using multiple view layers, only data from a single view layer is
preserved to keep memory usage somewhat under control. However objects
shared between view layers are preserved, and so this can speedup such
renders as well, even single frame renders.
For Eevee and Workbench this option is not available, however these engines
will now always reuse the depsgraph for animation and multiple view layers.
This can significantly speed up rendering.
These engines do not support sharing the depsgraph between re-renders, due
to technical issues regarding OpenGL contexts. Support for this could be added
if those are solved, see the code comments for details.

This optimizes device updates (during user edits or frame changes in
the viewport) by avoiding unnecessary computations. To achieve this,
we use a combination of the sockets' update flags as well as some new
flags passed to the various managers when tagging for an update to tell
exactly what the tagging is for (e.g. shader was modified, object was
removed, etc.).
Besides avoiding recomputations, we also avoid resending to the devices
unmodified data arrays, thus reducing bandwidth usage. For OptiX and
Embree, BVH packing was also multithreaded.
The performance improvements may vary depending on the used device (CPU
or GPU), and the content of the scene. Simple scenes (e.g. with no adaptive
subdivision or volumes) rendered using OptiX will benefit from this work
the most.
On average, for a variety of animated scenes, this gives a 3x speedup.

Now that the Blender sync mechanism deletes nodes from the scene, we need to
ensure scene update is stopped before we do this.
Also add some more early out in scene geometry update to ensure we do not
continue working on incomplete geometry data, though that was not the cause of
this crash.

This encapsulates Node socket members behind a set of specific methods;
as such it is no longer possible to directly access Node class members
from exporters and parts of Cycles.
The methods are defined via the NODE_SOCKET_API macros in `graph/
node.h`, and are for getting or setting a specific socket's value, as
well as querying or modifying the state of its update flag.
The setters will check whether the value has changed and tag the socket
as modified appropriately. This will let us know how a Node has changed
and what to update, which is the first concrete step toward a more
granular scene update system.
Since the setters will tag the Node sockets as modified when passed
different data, this patch also removes the various modified methods
on Nodes in favor of Node::is_modified which checks the sockets'
update flags status.

The issue stems from the fact that scene arrays are not cleared when rendering is done. This was not really an issue before the introduction of the ownership system (rB429afe0c626a) as the id_map would recreate scene data arrays based on their new content. However, now that the id_maps do not have access to the scene data anymore the arrays are never created.
Another related issue is that the BlenderSync instance is never freed when the persistent data option is activated.
To fix this, we delete nodes created by the id_maps in their destructors, and delete the BlenderSync instance before creating a new one, so the id_maps destructors are actually called.

The current way of setting the compute device makes sense for local
use, but for headless rendering it it a massive pain to get Cycles
to use the correct device, usually involving entire Python scripts.
Therefore, this patch adds a simple command-line option to Blender
for specifying the type of device that should be used. If the option
is present, the settings in the user preferences and the scene are
ignored, and instead all devices matching the specified type are used.

Gathers information for time spent in the various managers or object (Film, Camera, etc.) being updated in Scene::device_update.
The stats include the total time spent in the device_update methods as well as time spent in subroutines (e.g. bvh build, displacement, etc.).
This does not qualify as a full blown profiler, but is useful to identify potential bottleneck areas.
The stats can be enabled and printed by passing `--cycles-print-stats` on the command line to Cycles, or `-- --cycles-print-stats` to Blender.

The previous fix loaded the pixels so existing tiles were not overwritten.
However the Cycles render buffer is expected to be scaled by the number of
sample, which was not taken into account.
This is not ideal in that previews could have a mismatched number of samples
between multiple objects, though the result will be correct. The better solution
would be to bake all objects together per tile, rather than one after the other.
But that is a bigger change than we can do in 2.90.

The Pass struct is now a Node and the passes are moved from the Film
class to the Scene class.
The Pass Node only has `type` and `name` as sockets as those seem to be
the only properties settable by exporters (other properties are implicit
and depend on the pass type).

Enabling render and viewport denoising is now both done from the render
properties. View layers still can individually be enabled/disabled for
denoising and have their own denoising parameters.
Note that the denoising engine also affects how denoising data passes are
output even if no denoising happens on the render itself, to make the passes
compatible with the engine.
This includes internal refactoring for how denoising parameters are passed
along, trying to avoid code duplication and unclear naming.

There should be no user visible change from this, except that tile size
now affects performance. The goal here is to simplify bake denoising in
D3099, letting it reuse more denoising tiles and pass code.
A lot of code is now shared with regular rendering, with the two main
differences being that we read some render result passes from the bake API
when starting to render a tile, and call the bake kernel instead of the
path trace kernel.
With this kind of design where Cycles asks for tiles from the bake API,
it should eventually be easier to reduce memory usage, show tiles as
they are baked, or bake multiple passes at once, though there's still
quite some work needed for that.

This feature takes some inspiration from
"RenderMan: An Advanced Path Tracing Architecture for Movie Rendering" and
"A Hierarchical Automatic Stopping Condition for Monte Carlo Global Illumination"
The basic principle is as follows:
While samples are being added to a pixel, the adaptive sampler writes half
of the samples to a separate buffer. This gives it two separate estimates
of the same pixel, and by comparing their difference it estimates convergence.
Once convergence drops below a given threshold, the pixel is considered done.
When a pixel has not converged yet and needs more samples than the minimum,
its immediate neighbors are also set to take more samples. This is done in order
to more reliably detect sharp features such as caustics. A 3x3 box filter that
is run periodically over the tile buffer is used for that purpose.
After a tile has finished rendering, the values of all passes are scaled as if
they were rendered with the full number of samples. This way, any code operating
on these buffers, for example the denoiser, does not need to be changed for
per-pixel sample counts.

This patch adds a new user-configurable option to change at which sample viewport
denoising should kick in. Setting it to zero retains previous behavior (start immediately), while
other values will defer denoising until the particular sample has been reached. Default is now
at one, to avoid the weirdness that is AI denoising at small resolutions.

This simplifies compositors setups and will be consistent with Eevee render

The OptiX denoiser can be a great help when rendering in the viewport, since it is really fast
and needs few samples to produce convincing results. This patch therefore adds support for
using any Cycles denoiser in the viewport also (but only the OptiX one is selectable because
the NLM one is too slow to be usable currently). It also adds support for denoising on a
different device than rendering (so one can e.g. render with the CPU but denoise with OptiX).
