To recreate, just delete default cube and render.
Simple fix, but @maiself or @sergey may want to double-check ;)

Displacement is now a per material setting, which means old files will have to
be updated if they had used displacement. Cool side effect of this change is
material previews now show displacement.

Enables Catmull-Clark subdivision meshes with support for creases and attribute
subdivision. Still waiting on OpenSubdiv to fully support face varying
interpolation for subdividing uv coordinates tho. Also there may be some
inconsistencies with Blender's subdivision which will be resolved at a
later time.
Code for reading patch tables and creating patch maps is borrowed
from OpenSubdiv.

Adds a descriptor for attributes that can easily be passed around and extended
to contain more data. Will be used for attributes on subdivision meshes.

My mistake in modifying the patch.

Currently cycles cannot correctly render motion blur for objects that appear or
disappear during the shutter window. Until that can be fixed properly, it may be
better to hide such particles rather than let them render as if they were
stationary for half of the frame.

This makes constant folding logs with --debug-cycles more meaningful.
A tiny fix is needed in OSL generator to match recent node refactoring.
|
|
|
|
To make the number more meaningful, also skip deduplicating
obviously unused nodes with no outgoing links.
|
|
As a result of other folding simplifications it may happen that
two type conversion nodes end up directly connected. In some
cases it may be possible to then remove both. A realistic case
might be an optimized out Mix RGB node used to blend vectors.
It seems it's safe to optimize when B is a float3 type
(color, vector), and A is float3 or float.

Code coverage of different combinations of secondary conditions
is obviously not complete because there are so many of them, but
all main rules should be there.
The reason for CORRECT vs INVALID is that both words have the same
number of characters so calls line up, but look quite different.

These values often either turn the node into a no-op, or even make it
evaluate to 0 no matter what the other input value is, thus allowing
deletion of a branch of the node graph that otherwise is not constant.

These are complex nodes, and it's conceivable they may end up constant
in some circumstances within node groups, so folding support is useful.

This commit adds some easy to use way to check whether the graph
was properly optimized. The idea is based on using mock glog sync
which keeps track on all messages and expects specific log message
to appear in the logging.
This means each optimization step should report that it optimized
something (specifying what exactly was optimized) and what was used
for optimization.
There's also some ease-ish way to define shader networks which we
might want to make a bit more global and available for all tests
in the future.
For now only RGBToBW node is covered as an example, really hope
to get help from active guys in the community to finish covering
all existing optimization cases. Ready to fix any possible issues
with builder when needed tho :)

Subdivision options can now be found in the subsurf modifier. The modifier must
be the last in the stack or the options will be unavailable. Catmull-Clark
subdivision is still unavailable and will fallback to linear subdivision instead

This adds support for ngons and attributes on subdivision meshes. Ngons are
needed for proper attribute interpolation as well as correct Catmull-Clark
subdivision. Several changes are made to achieve this:
- new primitive `SubdFace` added to `Mesh`
- 3 more textures are used to store info on patches from subd meshes
- Blender export uses loop interface instead of tessface for subd meshes
- `Attribute` class is updated with a simplified way to pass primitive counts
around and to support ngons.
- extra points for ngons are generated for O(1) attribute interpolation
- curves are temporally disabled on subd meshes to avoid various bugs with
implementation
- old unneeded code is removed from `subd/`
- various fixes and improvements

While it's an extra option added to the interface which might not be
fully obvious for artists, it allows to save up to 20% of memory in
hairy scenes.
This is high enough memory saver in my opinion which might become
handy for some production files where it's more important to make
scene to fit into memory rather than trying to use more optimal BVH
structure but go into swap or crash.

After reformulation of SSS indirect rays it became possible to
try accessing dimension higher than was pre-calculated on scene
preparation.
This is because we're traversing rays backwards, which means we
are using higher dimensions first now.

This commit enables new unaligned BVH builder and traversal for scenes
with hair. This happens automatically, no need of manual control over
this.
There are some possible optimization still to happen here and there,
but overall there's already nice speedup:
Master Hair BVH
bunny.blend 8:06.54 5:57.14
victor.blend 16:07.44 15:37.35
Unfortunately, such more complexity is not really coming for free,
so there's some downsides, but those are within acceptable range:
Master Hair BVH
classroom.blend 5:31.79 5:35.11
barcelona.blend 4:38.58 4:44.51
Memory usage is also somewhat bigger for hairy scenes, but speed
benefit pays well for that. Additionally as was mentioned in one
of previous commits we can add an option to disable hair BVH and
have similar render time but have memory saving.

This is a special builder type which is allowed to orient nodes to
strands direction, hence minimizing their surface area in comparison
with axis-aligned nodes. Such nodes are much more efficient for hair
rendering.
Implementation of BVH builder is based on Embree, and generally idea
there is to calculate axis-aligned SAH and oriented SAH and if SAH
of oriented node is smaller than axis-aligned SAH we create unaligned
node.
We store both aligned and unaligned nodes in the same tree (which
seems to be different from what Embree is doing) so we don't have
any any extra calculations needed to set up hair ray for BVH
traversal, hence avoiding any possible negative effect of this new
BVH nodes type.
This new builder is currently not in use, still need to make BVH
traversal code aware of unaligned nodes.

There are several internal changes for this:
First idea is to make __tri_verts to behave similar to __tri_storage,
meaning, __tri_verts array now contains all vertices of all triangles
instead of just mesh vertices. This saves some lookup when reading
triangle coordinates in functions like triangle_normal().
In order to make it efficient needed to store global triangle offset
somewhere. So no __tri_vindex.w contains a global triangle index which
can be used to read triangle vertices.
Additionally, the order of vertices in that array is aligned with
primitives from BVH. This is needed to keep cache as much coherent as
possible for BVH traversal. This causes some extra tricks needed to
fill the array in and deal with True Displacement but those trickery
is fully required to prevent noticeable slowdown.
Next idea was to use this __tri_verts instead of __tri_storage in
intersection code. Unfortunately, this is quite tricky to do without
noticeable speed loss. Mainly this loss is caused by extra lookup
happening to access vertex coordinate.
Fortunately, tricks here and there (i,e, some types changes to avoid
casts which are not really coming for free) reduces those losses to
an acceptable level. So now they are within couple of percent only,
On a positive site we've achieved:
- Few percent of memory save with triangle-only scenes. Actual save
in this case is close to size of all vertices.
On a more fine-subdivided scenes this benefit might become more
obvious.
- Huge memory save of hairy scenes. For example, on koro.blend
there is about 20% memory save. Similar figure for bunny.blend.
This memory save was the main goal of this commit to move forward
with Hair BVH which required more memory per BVH node. So while
this sounds exciting, this memory optimization will become invisible
by upcoming Hair BVH work.
But again on a positive side, we can add an option to NOT use Hair
BVH and then we'll have same-ish render times as we've got currently
but will have this 20% memory benefit on hairy scenes.

Glossy, Anisotropic and Glass BSDFs
This commit adds a new distribution to the Glossy, Anisotropic and Glass BSDFs that implements the
multiple-scattering microfacet model described in the paper "Multiple-Scattering Microfacet BSDFs with the Smith Model".
Essentially, the improvement is that unlike classical GGX, which only models single scattering and assumes
the contribution of multiple bounces to be zero, this new model performs a random walk on the microsurface until
the ray leaves it again, which ensures perfect energy conservation.
In practise, this means that the "darkening problem" - GGX materials becoming darker with increasing
roughness - is solved in a physically correct and efficient way.
The downside of this model is that it has no (known) analytic expression for evalation. However, it can be
evaluated stochastically, and although the correct PDF isn't known either, the properties of MIS and the
balance heuristic guarantee an unbiased result at the cost of slightly higher noise.

In the OSL node compilation code for the Environment Texture, is_linear was used as a socket.
However, there was no socket for it, which caused Blender to crash.
Adding a socket doesn't really make sense since it's an internal value and not a parameter
of the node, so it now just uses the variable directly.
|
|
Since most of the code for these two nodes was identical, this commit
now instead uses a common base class that implements all the functionality.

It is not possible to use a set split by name as valid input to
check_node_input_traversed - it needs a complete set of all nodes visited so
far. On the other hand, the merge comparison loop should only check nodes that
were not just visited, but found unique. This means that there should really be
two separate data structures.
Without the fix, check_node_input_traversed actually never returns true, so
only nodes without any inputs are processed.
