2015-05-09	Cycles: OpenCL kernel split	George Kyriazis
	This commit contains all the work related on the AMD megakernel split work which was mainly done by Varun Sundar, George Kyriazis and Lenny Wang, plus some help from Sergey Sharybin, Martijn Berger, Thomas Dinges and likely someone else which we're forgetting to mention. Currently only AMD cards are enabled for the new split kernel, but it is possible to force split opencl kernel to be used by setting the following environment variable: CYCLES_OPENCL_SPLIT_KERNEL_TEST=1. Not all the features are supported yet, and that being said no motion blur, camera blur, SSS and volumetrics for now. Also transparent shadows are disabled on AMD device because of some compiler bug. This kernel is also only implements regular path tracing and supporting branched one will take a bit. Branched path tracing is exposed to the interface still, which is a bit misleading and will be hidden there soon. More feature will be enabled once they're ported to the split kernel and tested. Neither regular CPU nor CUDA has any difference, they're generating the same exact code, which means no regressions/improvements there. Based on the research paper: https://research.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/publications/laine2013hpg_paper.pdf Here's the documentation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LuXW-CV-sVJkQaEGZlMJ86jZ8FmoPfecaMdR-oiWbUY/edit Design discussion of the patch: https://developer.blender.org/T44197 Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1200
2015-04-27	Cycles: Use native saturate function for CUDA	Sergey Sharybin
	This more a workaround for CUDA optimizer which can't optimize clamp(x, 0, 1) into a single instruction and uses 4 instructions instead. Original patch by @lockal with own modification: Don't make changes outside of the kernel. They don't make any difference anyway and term saturate() has a bit different meaning outside of kernel. This gives around 2% of speedup in Barcelona file, but in more complex shader setups with lots of math nodes with clamping speedup could be much nicer.

2014-12-25	Cleanup: Fix Cycles Apache header.	Thomas Dinges
	This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.
2014-05-04	Style cleanup: indentation, braces	Campbell Barton

2014-02-06	Cycles: add pass alpha threshold value to render layers.	Brecht Van Lommel
	Z, Index, normal, UV and vector passes are only affected by surfaces with alpha transparency equal to or higher than this threshold. With value 0.0 the first surface hit will always write to these passes, regardless of transparency. With higher values surfaces that are mostly transparent can be skipped until an opaque surface is encountered.
2013-11-18	Cycles: change __device and similar qualifiers to ccl_device in kernel code.	Brecht Van Lommel
	This to avoids build conflicts with libc++ on FreeBSD, these __ prefixed values are reserved for compilers. I apologize to anyone who has patches or branches and has to go through the pain of merging this change, it may be easiest to do these same replacements in your code and then apply/merge the patch. Ref T37477.
2013-09-17	Fix #36741: cycles AO pass giving values > 1.0 with transparency.	Brecht Van Lommel

2013-08-18	Cycles: relicense GNU GPL source code to Apache version 2.0.	Brecht Van Lommel
	More information in this post: http://code.blender.org/ Thanks to all contributes for giving their permission!
2013-08-13	Code cleanup:	Thomas Dinges
	* Some typo fixes.
2013-08-03	Cycles / SSS:	Thomas Dinges
	* Render Passes are now available for Subsurface Scattering (Direct, Indirect and Color pass). This is part of my GSoC project, SVN merge of r58587, r58828 and r58835.
2013-06-08	Cycles: invert mist pass so that 0 is nearby and 1 is far away. This is the	Brecht Van Lommel
	opposite of Blender Internal but it makes more sense I think.
2013-06-07	Cycles: mist pass added, with start/depth/falloff control. If the pass is	Brecht Van Lommel
	enabled in a render layer a Mist Pass panel will be shown in the world properties.
2013-02-13	Fix #34226: cycles shadow pass got incorrectly influenced by world multiple	Brecht Van Lommel
	importance sampleing.
2013-01-03	Cycles Hair: refactoring to support generic attributes for hair curves. There	Brecht Van Lommel
	should be no functional changes yet. UV, tangent and intercept are now stored as attributes, with the intention to add more like multiple uv's, vertex colors, generated coordinates and motion vectors later. Things got a bit messy due to having both triangle and curve data in the same mesh data structure, which also gives us two sets of attributes. This will get cleaned up when we split the mesh class.
2012-11-21	Fix #33256: cycles Z pass for orthographic camera was not right, now is more	Brecht Van Lommel
	useful for e.g. fog in compositing.
2012-09-28	Fix #32072: cycles shadow pass gave different results with/without emitting	Brecht Van Lommel
	materials present, even though it's only taking lamp shadows into account.
2012-04-30	Cycles: support for motion vector and UV passes.	Brecht Van Lommel
	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.
2012-04-16	Fix #30966: cycles nan mesh vertices got set to (0, 0, 0), now remove them ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	instead.
2012-03-28	Fix #30551: cycles passes combining did not always give identical result ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	combined with antialiasing/defocus, now divide out color at the very end instead of for each sample.
2012-03-28	Cycles: shadow pass support. Note that this only takes into account lamps,	Brecht Van Lommel
	emitting objects or world lighting do not contribute to the shadow pass. Consider this more as a pass useful for some compositing tricks, unlike other lighting passes this pass can't be used to exactly reconstruct the combined pass.
2012-02-28	Cycles: ambient occlusion support, with AO factor and distance, and a render ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	pass. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/World#Ambient_Occlusion http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Passes#Lighting_Passes
2012-01-26	Cycles: render passes for CUDA cards with compute model >= 2.x.	Brecht Van Lommel

2012-01-26	Cycles: fixes for OpenCL build after pass changes, patch by Daniel Genrich.	Brecht Van Lommel

2012-01-26	Cycles: fix issues rendering second render layer passes, and avoid unnecessary	Brecht Van Lommel
	clear of buffer.
2012-01-25	Cycles: Render Passes	Brecht Van Lommel
	Currently supported passes: * Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment, Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color Not supported yet: * UV, Vector, Mist Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow, also for environment importance sampling.
