This is a physically-based, easy-to-use shader for rendering hair and fur,
with controls for melanin, roughness and randomization.
Based on the paper "A Practical and Controllable Hair and Fur Model for
Production Path Tracing".
Implemented by Leonardo E. Segovia and Lukas Stockner, part of Google
Summer of Code 2018.

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.

Previously, the NLM kernels would be launched once per offset with one thread per pixel.
However, with the smaller tile sizes that are now feasible, there wasn't enough work to fully occupy GPUs which results in a significant slowdown.
Therefore, the kernels are now launched in a single call that handles all offsets at once.
This has two downsides: Memory accesses to accumulating buffers are now atomic, and more importantly, the temporary memory now has to be allocated for every shift at once, increasing the required memory.
On the other hand, of course, the smaller tiles significantly reduce the size of the memory.
The main bottleneck right now is the construction of the transformation - there is nothing to be parallelized there, one thread per pixel is the maximum.
I tried to parallelize the SVD implementation by storing the matrix in shared memory and launching one block per pixel, but that wasn't really going anywhere.
To make the new code somewhat readable, the handling of rectangular regions was cleaned up a bit and commented, it should be easier to understand what's going on now.
Also, some variables have been renamed to make the difference between buffer width and stride more apparent, in addition to some general style cleanup.

log(0) is undefined and should not have been included

This commit contains the first part of the new Cycles denoising option,
which filters the resulting image using information gathered during rendering
to get rid of noise while preserving visual features as well as possible.
To use the option, enable it in the render layer options. The default settings
fit a wide range of scenes, but the user can tweak individual settings to
control the tradeoff between a noise-free image, image details, and calculation
time.
Note that the denoiser may still change in the future and that some features
are not implemented yet. The most important missing feature is animation
denoising, which uses information from multiple frames at once to produce a
flicker-free and smoother result. These features will be added in the future.
Finally, thanks to all the people who supported this project:
- Google (through the GSoC) and Theory Studios for sponsoring the development
- The authors of the papers I used for implementing the denoiser (more details
on them will be included in the technical docs)
- The other Cycles devs for feedback on the code, especially Sergey for
mentoring the GSoC project and Brecht for the code review!
- And of course the users who helped with testing, reported bugs and things
that could and/or should work better!

This file was even a bigger mess than vectorized types header,
cleaning it up to make it easier to maintain this files and
extend further.
|
|
This is not a cheap operation which we dont' want to happen silently.
|
|
It was quite wrong actually by doing some __m128 to flaot4 round trips.
|
|
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.

Use fast-math friendly version of this function.
We should probably avoid unsafe fast math, but this is to be done with
real care with all the benchmarks properly done.
For now comitting much safer fix.
|
|
Was an old TODO, this function is handy for some math utilities as well.
|
|
There are following benefits:
- Modifying intersection algorithm will not cause so much re-compilation.
- It works around header dependency hell and allows us to use vectorization
types much easier in there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hopefully it works on all platforms now.
|
|
Currently unused, but might become really handy in the future.

I can no longer reproduce crash with neither of the files where
the crash was originally visible. This is something where other
changes (light threshold, sampling) had an effect and made code
to work as it is supposed to. Could have been optimizator issue
or something like that.
Let's see if we hit same issue again.

their expected contribution
In scenes with many lights, some of them might have a very small contribution to some pixels, but the shadow rays are traced anyways.
To avoid that, this patch adds probabilistic termination to light samples - if the contribution before checking for shadowing is below a user-defined threshold, the sample will be discarded with probability (1 - (contribution / threshold)) and otherwise kept, but weighted more to remain unbiased.
This is the same approach that's also used in path termination based on length.
Note that the rendering remains unbiased with this option, it just adds a bit of noise - but if the setting is used moderately, the speedup gained easily outweighs the additional noise.

When using the Normal output of the Texture Coordinate node on Point and Spot lamps, the coordinates now depend on the rotation of the lamp.
On Area lamps, the Parametric output of the Geometry node now returns UV coordinates on the area lamp.
Credit for the Area lamp part goes to Stefan Werner (from D1995).

Oh man, is it a compiler bug? Is it something we do stupid?
For now more crap to prevent crashes. During the conference will talk to
Maxyn about how can we troubleshoot such weird issues.

Basically don't use rcp() in areas which seems to be critical after
second look. Also disabled some multiplication operators, not sure
yet why they might be a problem.
Tomorrow will be setting up a full test with all cases which were
buggy in our farm to see if this fix is complete.
|
|
The idea here is to avoid if statements which could cause wrong
branch prediction.
Gives a bit of measurable speedup up to ~1%. Still nice :)
Inspired by Maxym Dmytrychenko, thanks!

This was giving some speedup but made intersection tests to fail
from watertight point of view.
Needs deeper investigation, but need to quickly get it fixed for
the studio.
|
|
This is something tested by @LazyDodo and suggested by Maxym to make
MSVC happier.
|
|
This gives about 5% speedup on AVX2 kernels (other kernels still
have SSE disabled for math operations) and this solves the slowdown
of koro scene mention in the previous commit.
The title says it all actually. This commit also contains
changes to pass float3 as const reference in affected functions.
This should make MSVC happier without breaking OpenCL because it's
only done in areas which are ifdef-ed for non-OpenCL.
Another patch based on inspiration from Maxym Dmytrychenko, thanks!

Since inputs are user controlled, the node can't assume they aren't zero.
|
|
All the changes are mainly giving explicit tips on inlining functions,
so they match how inlining worked with previous toolkit.
This make kernel compiled by CUDA 8 render in average with same speed
as previous kernels. Some scenes are somewhat faster, some of them are
somewhat slower. But slowdown is within 1% so far.
On a positive side it allows us to enable newer generation cards on
buildbots (so GTX 10x0 will be officially supported soon).

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

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.

The original quad intersection test works by just testing against the two triangles that define the quad.
However, in this case it's actually faster to use the same test that's also used for portals: Determining
the distance to the plane in which the quad lies, calculating the hitpoint and checking whether it's in the
quad by projecting onto the sides.

Seems particular CUDA implementations has some precision issues,
which made integer coordinate (which was expected to always be
positive) to go negative.
