This is an attempt to gracefully handle out-of-memory events
and stop rendering with an error message instead of a crash.
It uses bad_alloc exception, and usually i'm not really fond
of exceptions, but for such limited use for errors from which
we can't recover it should be fine.
Ideally we'll need to stop full Cycles Session, so viewport
render and persistent images frees all the memory, but that
we can support later, since it'll mainly related on telling
Blender what to do.
General rules are:
- Use as less exception handles as possible, try to find a
most geenric pace where to handle those.
For example, ccl::Session.
- Threads needs own handling, exception trap from one thread
will not catch exceptions from other threads.
That's why BVH build needs own thing.

- Fix wrong current sample reported in the log
- Also includes fix for progressive refine log
- Explicitly print to the stdout that resumable render is enabled
- Print error message and abort when passing wrong values for the
resumable render. Never waste someone's compute power for wrong
render!
Fixes T48185: Cycles resumable num chunks breaks sample counter

We don't limit manually setting higher values, this was probably overlooked here.

This gives few percent extra memory saving for the CUDA kernel when
using regular path tracing.
Still more like an experiment, but will be handy in the future.
|
|
This way we'll be able to disable SSS for the scene-adaptive kernel.
|
|
Useful to have this always logged because otherwise it's needed to remove cached
kernels and check build flags to see which features are enabled.
|
|
This means render devices now might skip building baking kernels in cases when
only actual render-related functionality is used.
For now it's only implemented for OpenCL split kernel device and mainly needed
to work around some compiler-specific bugs which crashes on building the kernel.
Using OpenCL for baking might still crash the driver, but at least there is now
higher probability of that GPU will be usable to render the scene.
Real fix should actually be done in the driver side.
|
|
This is mainly useful for the render farms output when logging might stop at
the "Path Tracing Tile N/N" string, which makes it a bit difficult to follow
what exactly is happening (node going crazy, hardware issues or just last tile
is too much heavy).
This is more like an experiment, might be changed in the future.
|
|
This features are now based on the scene settings, so scenes without those features
used are rendered even faster.
This gives about 30% speedup on the AMD A10 APU here, but at the same time it does
not mean such an improvement will happen on all the hardware. That being said, the
Tonga device here seems to have no measurable difference.
In any case it seems handy to have for the future, when we'll want to support SSS
in the kernel or to port selective compilation/split kernel to CUDA devices.

In certain configurations (for example when start resolution is set to small
value for background render and progressive refine enabled) number of tiles
might change in the tile manager. This situation will confuse progressive
refine feature and likely cause crash.
We might also add some settings verification in the session constructor, but
having an assert with brief explanation about what's wrong should already be
much better than nothing.
|
|
This changes the progressive refine part, regular update was already checking
for whether callbacks are set.

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.

This way device can actually make a decision of how it can optimize the kernel
in order to make it most efficient.
|
|
This will be used by split kernel in order to compile most optimal kernel.
Maximum number of closures is actually being cached in the session, so viewport
rendering will not trigger kernel re-loading when number of closures goes down.
|
|
This is currently unused but crucial for things like calculating amount of
device memory required to deal with the tasks.
Maybe not really best place to store it, but consider it good enough for now.
|
|
Previously we only had experimental flag passed to device's load_kernel() which
was all fine. But since we're gonna to have some extra parameters passed there
it makes sense to wrap them into a single struct, which will make it easier to
pass stuff around.
|
|
Main purpose of this change is to make material preview appearing more
instant after the shader tweaks.
|
|
This inconsistency drove me totally crazy, it's really confusing
when it's inconsistent especially when you work on both Cycles and
Blender sides.
Shouldn;t cause merge PITA, it's whitespace changes only, Git should
be able to merge it nicely.
|
|
This ways previews are refreshing with the same ratio as job was expecting
this to happen, giving more instant feedback on the changes.
|
|
This patch makes Cycles ignore the time spent in BVH construction etc. when
estimating the remaining time. Considering that the remaining time is calculated
based on the average time per tile so far, as far as I understand it makes no
sense to include the preprocessing time.

This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.
|
|
Currently it acts the same as set_cancel(), but this way we're able to
distinguish situations when rendering was aborted by user demand (for
example pressing Esc in standalone renderer) or if something went horribly
wrong (for example out of VRAM error).

Expand Cycles to use the new baking API in Blender.
It works on the selected object, and the panel can be accessed in the Render panel (similar to where it is for the Blender Internal).
It bakes for the active texture of each material of the object. The active texture is currently defined as the active Image Texture node present in the material nodetree. If you don't want the baking to override an existent material, make sure the active Image Texture node is not connected to the nodetree. The active texture is also the texture shown in the viewport in the rendered mode.
Remember to save your images after the baking is complete.
Note: Bake currently only works in the CPU
Note: This is not supported by Cycles standalone because a lot of the work is done in Blender as part of the operator only, not the engine (Cycles).

Issue was caused by the wrong usage of OCIO GLSL binding API. To make it
work properly on pre-GLSL-1.3 drivers shader is to be enabled after the
texture is binded to the opengl context. Otherwise it wouldn't know the
proper texture size.
This is actually a regression in 2.70 and to be ported to 'a'.
|

This actually works somewhat now, although viewport rendering is broken and any
kind of network error or connection failure will kill Blender.

except for curves, that's still missing from the OpenColorIO GLSL shader.
The pixels are stored in a half float texture, converterd from full float with
native GPU instructions and SIMD on the CPU, so it should be pretty quick.
Using a GLSL shader is useful for GPU render because it avoids a copy through
CPU memory.

* Some typo fixes.

* 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.

|
* Use USHRT_MAX rather than manual value, suggested by Campbell.
|
|
* If Preview Samples are set to 0 (unlimited) it now assumes 65536 instead of INT_MAX.
This doesn't affect regular sampling, you can still enter fixed values of 100k or whatever.

instead of sobol. So far one doesn't seem to be consistently better or worse than
the other for the same number of samples but more testing is needed.
The random number generator itself is slower than sobol for most number of samples,
except 16, 64, 256, .. because they can be computed faster. This can probably be
optimized, but we can do that when/if this actually turns out to be useful.
Paper this implementation is based on:
http://graphics.pixar.com/library/MultiJitteredSampling/
Also includes some refactoring of RNG code, fixing a Sobol correlation issue with
the first BSDF and < 16 samples, skipping some unneeded RNG calls and using a
simpler unit square to unit disk function.

* Code cleanup, remove unused "resolution" variable from the DeviceTask class, was never used.

Code is added to restrict the pixel size of strands in cycles. It works best with ribbon primitives and a preset for these is included. It uses distance dependent expansion of the strands and then stochastic strand removal to give a fading. To prevent a slowdown for triangle mesh objects in the BVH an extra visibility flag has been added. It is also only applied for camera rays.
The strand width settings are also changed, so that the particle size is not included in the width calculation. Instead there is a separate particle system parameter for width scaling.
