New features:
* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders#Subsurface_Scattering
Work in progress for feedback:
Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.
This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.
Skin test render and file that takes advantage of the gaussian falloff:

- Removed the cycles subdivision and interpolation of hairkeys.
- Removed the parent settings.
- Removed all of the advanced settings and presets.
- This simplifies the UI to a few settings for the primitive type and a shape mode.
|
|
* Remove an unneeded return in shader_bsdf_eval(), function is void.
* if / else if tweak in shader_bsdf_ao().
|
|
|
|
* Some typo fixes.
|
|
* Remove unused "PathThroughput" variable.
* Don't compile unused voronoi code, we only use Distance Squared atm.
* Various typo and comment fixes.
|
|
* Rename "curve_kernel_data" to just "curve", to avoid redundant naming.
|
|
* Remove code for the unused Wave texture variations.
We have quite some unused code in the texture area, I guess it doesn't harm to clean a bit up here.
We can always get the code back from SVN if we need something.
|
|
* GPU kernel can now be compiled without __NON_PROGRESSIVE__ again, was broken after my last commit. Also add a check for have_error(), in case the GPU kernel comes without Non-Progressive, to avoid a crash.
* Don't compile progressive kernel twice on CPU, if __NON_PROGRESSIVE__ would be disabled there.
|
|
* Non-Progressive integrator is now available on the GPU (CUDA, sm_20 and above).
Implementation details:
* kernel_path_trace() has been split up into two functions:
kernel_path_trace_non_progressive() and kernel_path_trace_progressive().
* We compile two CUDA kernel entry functions (in kernel.cu) for the two integrators, they are still inside one .cubin file but due to the kernel separation there should be no performance problem. I tested with the BMW file on my Geforce 540M and the render times were the same for 100 samples (1.57 min in my case).
This is part of my GSoC project, SVN merge of r59032 + manual merge of UI changes for this from my branch.

for texture system in advance. Patch by Martijn Berger, with some tweaks.
There was about a 10% performance improvement on OS X in my tests with the
images.blend test file. This may be less on other platforms because OS X has
particularly slow mutex locks.
|
|
* Various string and comment fixes.
|
|
* Was broken after Blackbody merge, forgot to rename a struct...
|
|
* Forgot to rename some SSS pass strings.
* Some typo fixes.
|
|
* 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.

|
* Added nodes to separate and combine hsv colors.
Part of my GSoC 2013 project, SVN merge of r57981.
|
|
* Add a note to convert a Vector, Point or Normal between World <=> Camera <=> Object coordinate space.

* Added a node to convert a temperature in Kelvin to an RGB color. This can be used e.g. for lights, to easily find the right color temperature.
= Some common temperatures =
Candle light: 1500 Kelvin
Sunset/Sunrise: 1850 Kelvin
Studio lamps: 3200 Kelvin
Horizon daylight: 5000 Kelvin

Thanks to Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), who essentially contributed to this with a patch! :)
This is part of my GSoC 2013 project. SVN merge of r57424, r57487, r57507, r57525, r58253 and r58774

|
* Added a Ray Depth output to the Light Path node, which gives the user access to the current bounce.
This can be used to limit the maximum ray bounce on a per shader basis. Another use case is to restrict light influence with this, to have a lamp only contribute to the direct lighting.

This is part of my GSoC 2013 project. SVN merge of r58091 and r58772 from soc-2013-dingto.
|
|
* Avoid check for !LABEL_TRANSPARENT in "kernel_path_non_progressive_lighting", transparency is either handled in the outer loop or in the "kernel_path_indirect" function, but not here.
|
|
* Increase the maximum amount of closures per shader from 16 to 64, so more complex closure trees can be rendered.
I measured performance on CPU and GPU (Geforce 540M) and couldn't find a performance impact, but if someone encounters a noticeable impact on his system, please report.
|
|
* path_rng_2D() was missing an else branch for the sobol case after fix in r57383.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Added 2 new nodes to combine and separate HSV colors.

|
|
* After some more thinking, solved the remaining ToDos. :)
* Added is_object check to check if we have a valid object.
* If we operate on the world, and try to convert from/to object space, we now assume world space instead, same as OSL.
|
|
* Implementation of the node for SVM. This covers all possible transformations: World <> Object <> Camera space.
As far as I can tell, it also works fine with Motion Blur enabled.
ToDo:
* SVM differs from OSL, when the node is used on the world.

running at the same time.
|
|
|
|
* Fix crash with negative values in Phong Ramp, and add some checks to survive INF and NAN values.
Patch by Brecht and myself.
|
|
* Assure SSE2 intrinsics are also used on SSE3 CPUs and x86.
|
|
* Reshuffle SSE #ifdefs to try to avoid compilation errors enabling SSE on 32 bit.
* Remove CUDA kernel launch size exception on Mac, is not needed.
* Make OSL file compilation quiet like c/cpp files.
|
|
|
|
* Avoid some unneeded int castings, they were only needed in the original Texture Nodes implementation as custom1 and custom2 were shorts.
|
|
* kernel_sse2 was built without actual SSE2 intrinsics on x86 systems.
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of Vector Transform Node into Cycles.
* OSL backend is done, SVM needs the matrices still.
|

images with open shading language enabled.

|
|
what looks like a compiler bug.
|
|
* On nvidia Kepler GPUs (sm_30 and above), there are now 145 byte images available, instead of 95.
We could extend this to about 200 if needed.
Could not test this, as I don't have a Kepler GPU, so feedback on this would be appreciated.
Thanks to Brecht for review and some fixes. :)

using
a compiler older than CUDA 5.0 it will give a warning and skip this architecture.

way back to Pentium 4, using a slightly less efficient instruction.
Also ensure /Ox is used for Visual Studio for RelWithDebInfo builds.
