This patch adds support for light portals: objects that help sampling the
environment light, therefore improving convergence. Using them tor other
lights in a unidirectional pathtracer is virtually useless.
The sampling is done with the area-preserving code already used for area lamps.
MIS is used both for combination of different portals and for combining portal-
and envmap-sampling.
The direction of portals is considered, they aren't used if the sampling point
is behind them.

The idea is to give artists a simplier way to control memory usage in such
scenes as grass fields by doing automatic object culling based on whether
they're visible in the frame or not.
This is controlled on per-object level. In order to use this option few
steps are required:
- Allow renderer to use camera culling (Performance panel of render settings)
- Set camera cull margin (measured in relative value to the render resolution)
- Enable Camera Cull for objects which are desired to be culled
(object culling option could be found in Option panel in object buttons).
Interface decisions are not final for sure and to be refined if this
option is considered good enough for production.

Still buggy, but the basic workflow is there:
When a cache library is used in conjunction with a group duplicator and
it has strands that match the particle systems, Cycles will use the
new Strands structure to construct its internal curves.

It is still possible to free a bit more memory by detecting buildin images
which are not used by shaders, but that's not going to improve memory usage
that much to bother about this now.
Such change brings peak memory usage from 4.1GB to 3.4GB when rendering
01_01_01_D layout scene from the Gooseberry project. Mainly because of
freeing memory used by rather huge environment map in the viewport.

instead of dupli results.

This flag is global for all the sessions and never changes. so it doesn't
really make sense to pass it around to all sessions and synchronization
routines.
Switched to a static member of BlenderSession now, but it's probably more
logical to introduce some sort of BlenderGlobals. Doesn't currently worth
a hassle for a single boolean flag tho.

This way we can do some more aggressive policy about releasing temporary
data during synchronization.

This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.

This commit enables QBVH optimization structure automatically if rendering
with CPU and SSE2 support is detected.
This brings render time of agent shot back to the speed it used to be before
the watertight intersections commit, single koro and sponza scenes are about
7% faster here.

This now supports multiple steps and subframe sampling of motion.
There is one difference for object and camera transform motion blur. It still
only supports two steps there, but the transforms are now sampled at subframe
times instead of the previous and next frame and then interpolated/extrapolated.
This will give different render results in some cases but it's more accurate.
Part of the code is from the summer of code project by Gavin Howard, but it has
been significantly rewritten and extended.

before this only active scene would be rendered with border.
When do_render_fields_blur_3d() is finished, it'll modify
render's display rect so it'll correspond bordered render
result placed on black backgrund. Actual border is stored
nowhere, which makes it only way to re-calculate disprect
for all other renders used in compo based on source. Not
so big deal actually.
Also needed to modify Cycles a bit, because before this
patch it used border settings from scene being rendered.
Now made it so render data is passing to external engines.
Using a property inside RenderEngine structure for this.
Not best ever design for passing render data, but this
would prevent API breakage. So now external engines could
access engine.render to access active rendering settings.

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.

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

This makes it possible to do a border render inside a viewport even
when not looking through the camera.
Render border could be defined by Ctrl-B shortcut (works for both
camera render border and viewport render border).
Camera render border could still be defined using Shift-B (so no
muscule memory would be broken). Currently used a special flag of
operator to do this, otherwise you'll need to either two operators
with different poll callback or it could go into conflict with a
border zoom,
Border render of a viewport could be enabled/disabled in View
panel using "Render Border" option.

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.

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.

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).

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.

=== BVH build time optimizations ===
* BVH building was multithreaded. Not all building is multithreaded, packing
and the initial bounding/splitting is still single threaded, but recursive
splitting is, which was the main bottleneck.
* Object splitting now uses binning rather than sorting of all elements, using
code from the Embree raytracer from Intel.
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/embree-photo-realistic-ray-tracing-kernels/
* Other small changes to avoid allocations, pack memory more tightly, avoid
some unnecessary operations, ...
These optimizations do not work yet when Spatial Splits are enabled, for that
more work is needed. There's also other optimizations still needed, in
particular for the case of many low poly objects, the packing step and node
memory allocation.
BVH raytracing time should remain about the same, but BVH build time should be
significantly reduced, test here show speedup of about 5x to 10x on a dual core
and 5x to 25x on an 8-core machine, depending on the scene.
=== Threads ===
Centralized task scheduler for multithreading, which is basically the
CPU device threading code wrapped into something reusable.
Basic idea is that there is a single TaskScheduler that keeps a pool of threads,
one for each core. Other places in the code can then create a TaskPool that they
can drop Tasks in to be executed by the scheduler, and wait for them to complete
or cancel them early.
=== Normal ====
Added a Normal output to the texture coordinate node. This currently
gives the object space normal, which is the same under object animation.
In the future this might become a "generated" normal so it's also stable for
deforming objects, but for now it's already useful for non-deforming objects.
=== Render Layers ===
Per render layer Samples control, leaving it to 0 will use the common scene
setting.
Environment pass will now render environment even if film is set to transparent.
Exclude Layers" added. Scene layers (all object that influence the render,
directly or indirectly) are shared between all render layers. However sometimes
it's useful to leave out some object influence for a particular render layer.
That's what this option allows you to do.
=== Filter Glossy ===
When using a value higher than 0.0, this will blur glossy reflections after
blurry bounces, to reduce noise at the cost of accuracy. 1.0 is a good
starting value to tweak.
Some light paths have a low probability of being found while contributing much
light to the pixel. As a result these light paths will be found in some pixels
and not in others, causing fireflies. An example of such a difficult path might
be a small light that is causing a small specular highlight on a sharp glossy
material, which we are seeing through a rough glossy material. With path tracing
it is difficult to find the specular highlight, but if we increase the roughness
on the material the highlight gets bigger and softer, and so easier to find.
Often this blurring will be hardly noticeable, because we are seeing it through
a blurry material anyway, but there are also cases where this will lead to a
loss of detail in lighting.
