Shaders are only compiled if they are used by some other Node (Geometry, Light, etc.).
This usage detection is done before updating the Scene, however it fails at detecting
Shaders used by Procedurals not known to Cycles (e.g. ones defined by third party
applications), as Procedurals are only updated after the shaders are compiled.
To remedy this, we now use the Node reference counting mechanism to detect whether a
Shader is used and therefore should be compiled.
This removes `ShaderManager::update_shaders_used` as it is not needed anymore, however,
since it would also update the Shader ids, this is now performed in
`ShaderManager::device_update`, and a new virtual `device_update_specific` method was
added to handle device updates for SVM and OSL.

This optimizes device updates (during user edits or frame changes in
the viewport) by avoiding unnecessary computations. To achieve this,
we use a combination of the sockets' update flags as well as some new
flags passed to the various managers when tagging for an update to tell
exactly what the tagging is for (e.g. shader was modified, object was
removed, etc.).
Besides avoiding recomputations, we also avoid resending to the devices
unmodified data arrays, thus reducing bandwidth usage. For OptiX and
Embree, BVH packing was also multithreaded.
The performance improvements may vary depending on the used device (CPU
or GPU), and the content of the scene. Simple scenes (e.g. with no adaptive
subdivision or volumes) rendered using OptiX will benefit from this work
the most.
On average, for a variety of animated scenes, this gives a 3x speedup.

This encapsulates Node socket members behind a set of specific methods;
as such it is no longer possible to directly access Node class members
from exporters and parts of Cycles.
The methods are defined via the NODE_SOCKET_API macros in `graph/
node.h`, and are for getting or setting a specific socket's value, as
well as querying or modifying the state of its update flag.
The setters will check whether the value has changed and tag the socket
as modified appropriately. This will let us know how a Node has changed
and what to update, which is the first concrete step toward a more
granular scene update system.
Since the setters will tag the Node sockets as modified when passed
different data, this patch also removes the various modified methods
on Nodes in favor of Node::is_modified which checks the sockets'
update flags status.

Gathers information for time spent in the various managers or object (Film, Camera, etc.) being updated in Scene::device_update.
The stats include the total time spent in the device_update methods as well as time spent in subroutines (e.g. bvh build, displacement, etc.).
This does not qualify as a full blown profiler, but is useful to identify potential bottleneck areas.
The stats can be enabled and printed by passing `--cycles-print-stats` on the command line to Cycles, or `-- --cycles-print-stats` to Blender.

Problem: the Blender synchronization process creates and tags nodes for usage. It does
this by directly adding and removing nodes from the scene data. If some node is not tagged
as used at the end of a synchronization, it then deletes the node from the scene. This poses
a problem when it comes to supporting procedural nodes who can create other nodes not known
by the Blender synchonization system, which will remove them.
Nodes now have a NodeOwner, which is set after creation. Those owners for now are the Scene
for scene level nodes and ShaderGraph for shader nodes. Instead of creating and deleting
nodes using `new` and `delete` explicitely, we now use `create_node` and `delete_node` methods
found on the owners. `delete_node` will assert that the owner is the right one.
Whenever a scene level node is created or deleted, the appropriate node manager is tagged for
an update, freeing this responsability from BlenderSync or other software exporters.
Concerning BlenderSync, the `id_maps` do not explicitely manipulate scene data anymore, they
only keep track of which nodes are used, employing the scene to create and delete them. To
achieve this, the ParticleSystem is now a Node, although it does not have any sockets.
This is part of T79131.

By default it will now set the step size to the voxel size for smoke and
volume objects, and 1/10th the bounding box for procedural volume shaders.
New settings are:
* Scene render/preview step rate: to globally adjust detail and performance
* Material step rate: multiplied with auto detected per-object step size
* World step size: distance to steo for world shader

This is mostly straightforward, but required some refactoring to ensure that
the default volume material does not always turn on the volume feature for GPU

This patch contains the work that I did during my week at the Code Quest - adding support for tiled images to Blender.
With this patch, images now contain a list of tiles. By default, this just contains one tile, but if the source type is set to Tiled, the user can add additional tiles. When acquiring an ImBuf, the tile to be loaded is specified in the ImageUser.
Therefore, code that is not yet aware of tiles will just access the default tile as usual.
The filenames of the additional tiles are derived from the original filename according to the UDIM naming scheme - the filename contains an index that is calculated as (1001 + 10*<y coordinate of the tile> + <x coordinate of the tile>), where the x coordinate never goes above 9.
Internally, the various tiles are stored in a cache just like sequences. When acquired for the first time, the code will try to load the corresponding file from disk. Alternatively, a new operator can be used to initialize the tile similar to the New Image operator.
The following features are supported so far:
- Automatic detection and loading of all tiles when opening the first tile (1001)
- Saving all tiles
- Adding and removing tiles
- Filling tiles with generated images
- Drawing all tiles in the Image Editor
- Viewing a tiled grid even if no image is selected
- Rendering tiled images in Eevee
- Rendering tiled images in Cycles (in SVM mode)
- Automatically skipping loading of unused tiles in Cycles
- 2D texture painting (also across tiles)
- 3D texture painting (also across tiles, only limitation: individual faces can not cross tile borders)
- Assigning custom labels to individual tiles (drawn in the Image Editor instead of the ID)
- Different resolutions between tiles
There still are some missing features that will be added later (see T72390):
- Workbench engine support
- Packing/Unpacking support
- Baking support
- Cycles OSL support
- many other Blender features that rely on images
Thanks to Brecht for the review and to all who tested the intermediate versions!

We need to do aligned alloc of the services instead of globals now since the
concurrent map moved there.

The refactoring of texture handles did not take into account that render
services are shared between multiple render session. Now the texture

These are the internal changes to Cycles, for Blender integration there are no
functional changes in this commit.
Images are converted to scene linear color space on file load, and on reading
from the OpenImageIO texture cache. 8-bit images are compressed with the sRGB
transfer function to avoid precision loss while keeping memory usages low. This
also means that for common cases of 8-bit sRGB images no conversion happens at
all on image loading.

This adds our own OSL texture handle, that has info for OIIO textures or our
own custom texture types. A filename to handle hash map is used for lookups.
This is efficient because it happens at OSL compile time, because the optimizer
can figure out constant strings and replace them with texture handles.

This patch adds support for IES files, a file format that is commonly used to store the directional intensity distribution of light sources.
The new IES node is supposed to be plugged into the Strength input of the Emission node of the lamp.
Since people generating IES files do not really seem to care about the standard, the parser is flexible enough to accept all test files I have tried.
Some common weirdnesses are distributing values over multiple lines that should go into one line, using commas instead of spaces as delimiters and adding various useless stuff at the end of the file.
The user interface of the node is similar to the script node, the user can either select an internal Text or load a file.
Internally, IES files are handled similar to Image textures: They are stored in slots by the LightManager and each unique IES is assigned to one slot.
The local coordinate system of the lamp is used, so that the direction of the light can be changed. For UI reasons, it's usually best to add an area light,
rotate it and then change its type, since especially the point light does not immediately show its local coordinate system in the viewport.

This save a little memory and copying in the kernel by storing only a 4x3
matrix instead of a 4x4 matrix. We already did this in a few places, and
those don't need to be special exceptions anymore now.

A volume shader should be able to request attributes, and still be rendered
as homogeneous if no volume attributes are available for the object.
|

We now continue transparent paths after diffuse/glossy/transmission/volume
bounces are exceeded. This avoids unexpected boundaries in volumes with
transparent boundaries. It is also required for MIS to work correctly with
transparent surfaces, as we also continue through these in shadow rays.
The main visible changes is that volumes will now be lit by the background
even at volume bounces 0, same as surfaces.
Fixes T53914 and T54103.

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.

noninteractive rendering
Before, Cycles would first sync the shader exactly as shown in the UI, then determine and sync the used attributes and later optimize the shader.
Therefore, even completely unconnected nodes would cause unneccessary attributes to be synced.
The reason for this is to avoid frequent resyncs when editing shaders interactively, but it can still be avoided for noninteractive renders - which is what this commit does.

Bump mapping was happening in world space while displacement happens in object
space, causing shading errors when displacement type was used with bump mapping.
To fix this the proper transforms are added to bump nodes. This is only done
for automatic bump mapping however, to avoid visual changes from other uses of
bump mapping. It would be nice to do this for all bump mapping to be consistent
but that will have to wait till we can break compatibility.

Object coordinates can now be used in the displacement shader and will give
correct results, where as before bump mapping was calculated from the displace
positions and resulted in incorrect shading.
This works by evaluating the shader in two parts, first bump then surface, and
setting the shader state to match what it would be if the surface was
undisplaced for the bump shader evaluation. Currently only `P` is set as if
undisplaced, but other shader variables could be set as well, such as `I` or
`time`. Since these aren't set to anything meaningful for displacement I left
them out of this patch, we can decide what to do with them separately.
