when resetting devices."
This commit leads to random freezes in Cycles rendering:
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=32545&group_id=9&atid=498
The goal of this commit was to remove UI lag for OSL, but since that is not officially supported yet, better revert it until a proper fix can be implemented in 2.65.

resolutions to render, to a "start resolution" which gives the resolution
to start at.
This avoids unnecessary rendering of small resolutions in small viewports,
and avoids long waiting on big viewports.

devices.
When the scene is updated Cycles resets the renderer device, cancelling
all existing tasks. The main thread would wait for all running tasks to
finish before continuing. This is ok when tasks can actually cancel in a
timely fashion. For OSL however, this does not work, since the OSL
shader group optimization takes quite a bit of time and can not be
easily be cancelled once running (on my crappy machine in full debug
mode: ~0.12 seconds for simple node trees). This would lead to very
laggy UI behavior and make it difficult to accurately control elements
such as sliders.
This patch removes the wait condition from the device->task_cancel
method. Instead it just sets the do_cancel flag and returns. To avoid
backlog in the task pool of the device it will return early from the
BlenderSession::sync function while the reset is going on (tested in
Session::resetting). Once all existing tasks have finished the do_cancel
flag is finally cleared again (checked in TaskPool::num_decrease).
Care has to be taken to avoid race conditions on the do_cancel flag,
since it can now be modified outside the TaskPool::cancel function
itself. For this purpose the scope of the TaskPool::num_mutex locks has
been extended, in most cases the mutex is now locked by the TaskPool
itself before calling TaskScheduler methods, instead of only locking
inside the num_increase/num_decrease functions themselves. The only
occurrence of a lock outside of the TaskPool methods is in
TaskScheduler::thread_run.
This patch is most useful in combination with the OSL renderer mode, so
it can probably wait until after the 2.64 release. SVM tasks tend to be
cancelled quickly, so the effect is less noticeable.

Regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to save memory
during render and cache render results.

Various bug fixes by Sergey and Campbell.
* Fix for reading freed memory in some node setups.
* Fix incorrect memory read when synchronizing mesh motion.
* Fix crash appearing when direct light usage is different on different layers.
* Fix for vector pass gives wrong result in some circumstances.
* Fix for wrong resolution used for rendering Render Layer node.
* Option to cancel rendering when doing initial synchronization.
* No more texture limit when using CPU render.
* Many fixes for new tiled rendering.

lower than 1.3, since we're not officially supporting these. We're already not
providing CUDA binaries for these, so better make it clear when compiling from
source too.
|
|
* 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.

kernel cache there now as well since it seems to give issues there.
|
|
* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.
And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.

the viewport working now, set to 0 for unlimited (well, actually 2147483647).
|
|
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.
* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.
|
|
* auto/fixed threads option is used now, patch by Thomas.
* remove unused CUDA_LIBRARIES, library is dynamically loaded
* fix mesh XML export operator for API update

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":

* 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:
