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
2014-12-25	Cleanup: Fix Cycles Apache header.	Thomas Dinges
	This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.
2014-02-03	Fix T38439: allow IOR in range [0, inf] instead of [1, inf] in Cycles.	Brecht Van Lommel
	The same can be achieved by flipping normals on the mesh, but it can be convenient to do this in the shader.
2013-11-22	Cycles: Add a "Normal" input socket to the Layer Weight node + GLSL drawing ↵	Thomas Dinges
	code. Patch by lichtwerk (Philipp Oeser). Differential Revision: http://developer.blender.org/D28
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.
2013-11-09	Cycles / Fresnel Node:	Thomas Dinges
	* Add a "Normal" Input to the Fresnel node. * Fix for the Fresnel GLSL code (normalize the Incoming vector). Patch #37384 by Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) , thanks!
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!
2013-08-05	Code cleanup / Cycles:	Thomas Dinges
	* Various string and comment fixes.
2013-06-07	Code cleanup: avoid some warnings due to implicit uint/int/float/double ↵	Brecht Van Lommel
	conversion.
2012-10-19	Cycles/ Layer Weight Node:	Thomas Dinges
	* Small tweak for the blend value, to avoid division by zero. Thanks to Brecht for pointing out the solution.
2011-11-07	Cycles: procedural texture nodes reorganization. This will break existing files	Brecht Van Lommel
	using them, but rather do it now that I have the chance still. Highlights: * Wood and Marble merged into a single Wave texture * Clouds + Distorted Noise merged into new Noise node * Blend renamed to Gradient * Stucci removed, was mostly useful for old bump * Noise removed, will come back later, didn't actually work yet * Depth setting is now Detail socket, which accepts float values * Scale socket instead of Size socket http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Textures
2011-09-16	Cycles: tweaks to properties and nodes	Brecht Van Lommel
	* Passes renamed to samples * Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation * Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction * Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed * Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node * Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.
2011-04-27	Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender ↵	Ton Roosendaal
	modifications and build instructions will follow later. Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them: * BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs": http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/ * Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system: http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/ * Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes. * Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools: http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/ * Sobol direction vectors from: http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/ * Film response functions from: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/CAVE/software/softlib/dorf.php
