The approach didn't turn out to be that useful after all as there
are unavoidable dependencies of data from the device. For example,
to know whether object intersects volume or not it is required to
run displacement kernels.
The way of splitting host and device updates caused state where
some data is not yet available, causing confusion and leaving
code to be error-prone.
|
|
Better not to tempt anyone from using unsafe access to device
functionality during host update.
|
|
The longer-term goal is to separate host-only scene update
from device update: make it possible to make kernel features
depend on actual scene state and flags.
This change makes it so shaders are compiled before kernel
load, making checks like "has_volume" available at the
kernel features calculation state.
No functional changes are expected at this point.

This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

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 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!

Custom render passes are added in the Shader AOVs panel in the view layer
settings, with a name and data type. In shader nodes, an AOV Output node
is then used to output either a value or color to the pass.
Arbitrary names can be used for these passes, as long as they don't conflict
with built-in passes that are enabled. The AOV Output node can be used in both
material and world shader nodes.
Implemented by Lukas, with tweaks by Brecht.

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.

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

Ended up moving lock in the more centralized space since multiple shaders
can access this map.

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.

The title says it all actually. From tests with barber shop scene here
gives 2-3x speedup for shader compilation on my oldie i7 machine. The
gain is mainly due to textures metadata query from jpeg files (which
seems to requite de-compression before metadata can be read). But in
theory could give nice improvements for scenes with huge node trees
as well (i'm talking about node trees of complexity of fractal which
we had reports about in the past).

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.

This way it's easier to pass stuff around and also much easier to add more

Use Summary structure to collect all summary related on the shader compilation
process which then could be either simply reported to the log or be passed to
some user interface or so.
This is type of the summary / report which is most flexible and useful and
something we could use for other parts like shader optimization.

The issue was than nodes dependencies were stored as set<ShaderNode*> which
is actually a so called "strict weak ordered", meaning order of nodes in
the set is strictly defined, but based on the ShaderNode pointer. This means
that between different render invokations order of original nodes could be
different due to different pointers allocated for ShaderNode.
This commit makes it so dependencies and maps used for ShaderNodes are based
on the node->id which has much more predictable order. It's still possible
to trick the system by doing some crazy edits during viewport rendfer and
cause difference between viewport and final render stacks.

Basically we can not use sharp closure as a substitude when filter glossy is
used. This is because we can not blur sharp reflection/refraction.
This is quite quick and not really clean implementation. Not really happy
with manual handling of original settings, but this is as good as we can do
in the quick patch. It's a good acknowledgment and we now can re-consider
some aspects of graph simplification to make such cases more natively
supported.
P.S. This failure would have been shown by our regression tests, so please,
bother a bit to run Cycles's test sweep before doing such optimizations.

This was already mixed a bit, but the dot belongs there.

This was the original code to get things working on old GPUs, but now it is no
longer in use and various features in fact depend on this to work correctly to
the point that enabling this code is too buggy to be useful.

In practice this means that if you don't connect a texture to your volume nodes
it will figure that out and render the node faster, rather than you having to
specify it manually.
Main weakness is custom OSL nodes where we have to assume it is heterogeneous
because we don't know what kind of data the node accesses.
|
|
This should be pretty rare, the shader in question had many parallel node links
because of copying the nodes many times, which is inefficient to run anyway.

* Added a new sky model by Hosek and Wilkie: "An Analytic Model for Full Spectral Sky-Dome Radiance" http://cgg.mff.cuni.cz/projects/SkylightModelling/
Example render:
http://archive.dingto.org/2013/blender/code/new_sky_model.png
Documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Textures#Sky_Texture
Details:
* User can choose between the older Preetham and the new Hosek / Wilkie model via a dropdown. For older files, backwards compatibility is preserved. When we add a new Sky texture, it defaults to the new model though.
* For the new model, you can specify the ground albedo (see documentation for details).
* Turbidity now has a UI soft range between 1 and 10, higher values (up to 30) are still possible, but can result in weird colors or black.
* Removed the limitation of 1 sky texture per SVM stack. (Patch by Lukas Tönne, thanks!)

well as I would like, but it works, just add a subsurface scattering node and
you can use it like any other BSDF.
It is using fully raytraced sampling compatible with progressive rendering
and other more advanced rendering algorithms we might used in the future, and
it uses no extra memory so it's suitable for complex scenes.
Disadvantage is that it can be quite noisy and slow. Two limitations that will
be solved are that it does not work with bump mapping yet, and that the falloff
function used is a simple cubic function, it's not using the real BSSRDF
falloff function yet.
The node has a color input, along with a scattering radius for each RGB color
channel along with an overall scale factor for the radii.
There is also no GPU support yet, will test if I can get that working later.
