Was caused by previous commit.

The crash was caused by BVH traversal stack being overflowed.
That overflow was caused by lots of false-positive intersections
for rays originating on a non-finite location.
Not sure why those rays will be existing in the first place,
this is to be investigated separately.
This commit moves pre-SSE4.1 check to a higher level function
and enables it for all miroarchitectures.

This is an initial implementation of BVH8 optimization structure
and packated triangle intersection. The aim is to get faster ray
to scene intersection checks.

As memory goes, peak usage raises by about 4.7% in a complex
scenes.
Note that BVH8 is disabled when using OSL, this is because OSL
kernel does not get per-microarchitecture optimizations and
hence always considers BVH3 is used.
Original BVH8 patch from Anton Gavrikov.
Batched triangles intersection from Victoria Zhislina.
Extra work and tests and fixes from Maxym Dmytrychenko.

This means the shader can now be used for procedural texturing. New
settings on the node are Samples, Inside, Local Only and Distance.
Original patch by Lukas with further changes by Brecht.

Not sure why exactly it is called a cleanup, the code was much more clear
and robust against possible missing return statements which are MANDATORY.
Missing return statement will:
- Cause two different BVH traversals to be run.
Not is happening currently, but if more BVH layouts are added, it will
become a problem.
- It is already causing assert() statements to fail, since functions are
no longer returning when they are supposed to.
If there is any measurable reason to keep this change, let me know.
Otherwise just stick to reliable/tested/robust code.
This reverts commit ba65f7093b39a8e5f1fb869cbc347fb810a05ab9.

Since all the shadow catchers are already assumed to be in the footage,
the shadows they cast on each other are already in the footage too. So
don't just let shadow catchers skip self, but all shadow catchers.
Another justification is that it should not matter if the shadow catcher
is modeled as one object or multiple separate objects, the resulting
render should be the same.

The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

It uses an idea of accumulating all possible light reachable across the
light path (without taking shadow blocked into account) and accumulating
total shaded light across the path. Dividing second figure by first one
seems to be giving good estimate of the shadow.
In fact, to my knowledge, it's something really similar to what is
happening in the denoising branch, so we are aligned here which is good.
The workflow is following:
- Create an object which matches real-life object on which shadow is
to be catched.
- Create approximate similar material on that object.
This is needed to make indirect light properly affecting CG objects
in the scene.
- Mark object as Shadow Catcher in the Object properties.
Ideally, after doing that it will be possible to render the image and
simply alpha-over it on top of real footage.

Was a bug in recent optimization commit.

The idea is to record all possible transparent intersections when
shooting transparent ray on GPU (similar to what we were doing on
CPU already).
This avoids need of doing whole ray-to-scene intersections queries
for each intersection and speeds up a lot cases like transparent
hair in the cost of extra memory.
This commit is a base ground for now and this feature is kept
disabled for until some further tweaks.

Mostly this is making inlining match CUDA 7.5 in a few performance critical
places. The end result is that performance is now better than before, possibly
due to less register spilling or other CUDA 8.0 compiler improvements.
On benchmarks scenes, there are 3% to 35% render time reductions. Stack memory
usage is reduced a little too.

Some of the files were wrongly attributing code to some other
organizations and in few places proper attribution was missing.
This is mainly either a copy-paste error (when new file was
created from an existing one and header wasn't updated) or due
to some refactor which split non-original-BF code with purely
BF code.
Should solve some confusion around.

Matches better naming of volume traversal files, where we've got
optimized versions of a single step of volume intersection and
traversal which will gather all volume intersections.
|
|
BVH traversal is not really that much a geometry and we've got
quite some traversals now. Makes sense to keep them separate in
the name of source structure clarity.
