So now viewport render resolution division works exactly the same as in Cycles.
|
|
Simply add an option to render settings to save an EXR cache,
just when the render is finished. Also changed RE_ReadRenderResult() to read
cache instead of temp sample files (those are fully volatile now anyway).
Path to save cached render results is an UserPreferences setting.
Also added 'Reload render' feature to the Image Editor (so one can now re-open a blend,
and in an Image Editor hit ctrl-R to (try to) reload last render from cache).

Suggestion by Andy Davies (metalliandy) to conform with industry standard (custom cage is something else apparently)
Note: this is the last bake related commit I plan for 2.71/rc (unless
everyone agrees that we could squeeze in D546 - custom UVs, which would
be really nice to add for 2.71 scripters)
Note 2: I'll update the wiki docs shortly

There is a new option to select whether you want to use cage or not.
When not using cage the results will be more similar with Blender
Internal, where the inwards rays (trying to hit the highpoly objects)
don't always come from smooth normals. So if the active object has sharp
edges and an EdgeSplit modifier you get bad corners.
This is useful, however, to bake to planes without the need of adding
extra loops around the edges.
When cage is "on" the user can decide on setting a cage extrusion or to
pick a Custom Cage object. The cage extrusion option works in a
duplicated copy of the active object with EdgeSplit modifiers removed to
inforce smooth normals. The custom cage option takes an object with the
same number of faces as the active object (and the same face ordering).
The custom cage now controls the direction and the origin of the
rays casted to the highpoly objects. The direction is a ray from the
point in the cage mesh to the equivalent point to the base mesh. That
means the face normals are entirely ignored when using a cage object.
For developers:
When using an object cage the ray is calculated from the cage mesh to
the base mesh. It uses the barycentric coordinate from the base mesh UV,
so we expect both meshes to have the same primitive ids (which won't be
the case if the cage gets edited in a destructive way).
That fixes T40023 (giving the expected result when 'use_cage' is false).
Thanks for Andy Davies (metalliandy) for the consulting with normal
baking workflow and extensive testing. His 'stress-test' file will be
added later to our svn tests folder. (The file itself is not public yet
since he still has to add testing notes to it).
Many thanks for the reviewers.

New operator that can calls a bake function to the current render engine when available. This commit provides no feature for the users, but allows external engines to be accessed by the operator and be integrated with the baking api.
The API itself is simple. Blender sends a populated array of BakePixels to the renderer, and gets back an array of floats with the result.
The Blender Internal (and multires) system is still running independent, but we eventually will pipe it through the API as well. Cycles baking will come next as a separated commit
Python Operator:
----------------
The operator can be called with some arguments, or a user interface can be created for it. In that case the arguments can be ommited and the interface can expose the settings from bpy.context.scene.render.bake
bpy.ops.object.bake(type='COMBINED', filepath="", width=512, height=512, margin=16, use_selected_to_active=False, cage_extrusion=0, cage="", normal_space='TANGENT', normal_r='POS_X', normal_g='POS_Y', normal_b='POS_Z', save_mode='INTERNAL', use_clear=False, use_split_materials=False, use_automatic_name=False)
Note: external save mode is currently disabled.
Supported Features:
------------------
* Margin - Baked result is extended this many pixels beyond the border of each UV "island," to soften seams in the texture.
* Selected to Active - bake shading on the surface of selected object to the active object. The rays are cast from the lowpoly object inwards towards the highpoly object. If the highpoly object is not entirely involved by the lowpoly object, you can tweak the rays start point with Cage Extrusion. For even more control of the cage you can use a Cage object.
* Cage Extrusion - distance to use for the inward ray cast when using selected to active
* Custom Cage - object to use as cage (instead of the lowpoly object).
* Normal swizzle - change the axis that gets mapped to RGB
* Normal space - save as tangent or object normal spaces
Supported Passes:
-----------------
Any pass that is supported by Blender renderlayer system. Though it's up to the external engine to provide a valid enum with its supported passes. Normal passes get a special treatment since we post-process them to converted and "swizzled"
Development Notes for External Engines:
---------------------------------------
(read them in bake_api.c)
* For a complete implementation example look at the Cycles Bake commit (next).

viewable keyframes
Made the timeline option to only show keyframes from selected channels/data be a
per-scene setting instead of the per-timeline option it was previously. This makes
it easier for animators working on rigs with multiple bones (especially during the
polishing phase), since now the timeline and jump to keyframe operators use the same
setting to decide which subset of keyframes they need to consider.
By default, this option is enabled by default.
TODO: Extend this to the keyframe status shading on the active object name in the 3D view?

More like a workaround, current depsgraph does not really allow for animated layers,

It has no benefits over other BVH types, as far as I know it was only added
because it was possible. This also fixes T39344.

- autodetect optimal default, which typically avoids HT threads
- can store setting in .blend per scene
- this does not touch general omp max threads, due i found other areas where the calculations are fitting for huge corecount
- Intel notes, some of the older generation processors with HyperThreading would not provide significant performance boost for FPU intensive applications. On those systems you might want to set OMP_NUM_THREADS = total number of cores (not total number of hardware theads).

Z, Index, normal, UV and vector passes are only affected by surfaces with alpha
transparency equal to or higher than this threshold. With value 0.0 the first
surface hit will always write to these passes, regardless of transparency. With
higher values surfaces that are mostly transparent can be skipped until an opaque
surface is encountered.

Added function called WM_set_locked_interface which does
two things:
- Prevents event queue from being handled, so no operators
(see below) or values are even possible to run or change.
This prevents any kind of "destructive" action performed
from user while rendering.
- Locks interface refresh for regions which does have lock
set to truth in their template. Currently it's just a 3D
viewport, but in the future more regions could be considered
unsafe, or we could want to lock different parts of
interface when doing different jobs.
This is needed because 3D viewport could be using or changing
the same data as renderer currently uses, leading to threading
conflict.
Notifiers are still allowed to handle, so render progress is
seen on the screen, but would need to doublecheck on this, in
terms some notifiers could be changing the data.
For now interface locking happens for render job only in case
"Lock Interface" checkbox is enabled.
Other tools like backing would also benefit of this option.
It is possible to mark operator as safe to be used in locked
interface mode by adding OPTYPE_ALLOW_LOCKED bit to operator
template flags.
This bit is completely handled by wm_evem_system, not
with operator run routines, so it's still possible to
run operators from drivers and handlers.
Currently allowed image editor navigation and zooming.

PSYS_RECALC_CHILD is not handled by handle_object_update at
all so it was rather pointless to set this flag.
Double-checked with Brecht.

This is a regression since threaded dependency graph landed to master.
Root of the issue goes to the loads of graph preparation being done
even if there's nothing to be updated.
The idea of this change is to use ID type recalc bits to determine
whether there're objects to be updated. Generally speaking, we now
check object and object data datablocks with DAG_id_type_tagged()
and if there's no such IDs tagged we skip the whole task pool creation
and so,
The only difficult aspect was that in some circumstances it was possible
that there are tagged objects but nothing in ID recalc bit fields.
There were several different circumstances when it was possible:
* When one assigns object->recalc flag directly DAG flush didn't
set corresponding bits to ID recalc bits. Partially it is fixed
by making it so flush will set bitfield, but also for object
types there's no reason to assign recalc flag directly. Using
generic DAG_id_type_tag works almost the same fast as direct
assignment, ensures all the bitflags are set properly and for the
long run it seems it's what we would actually want to.
* DAG_on_visible_update() didn't set recalc bits at all.
* Some areas were checking for object->recalc != 0, however it is was
possible that object recalc flag contains PSYS_RECALC_CHILD which
was never cleaned from there.
No idea why would we need to assign such a flag when enabling
scene simplification, this is to be investigated separately.
* It is possible that scene_update_post and frame_update_post handlers
will modify objects. The issue is that DAG_ids_clear_recalc is called
just after callbacks, which leaves objects with recalc flags but no
corresponding bit in ID recalc bitfield. This leads to some kind of
regression when using ID type tag fields to check whether there objects
to be updated internally comparing threaded DAG with legacy one.
For now let's have a workaround which will preserve tag for ID_OB
if there're objects with OB_RECALC_ALL bits. This keeps behavior
unchanged comparing with 2.69 release.

This mode is designed for passive 3D TV: the viewport is split
horizontally - left eye above, right eye below - but the original camera
viewport is squashed in each half (with half the vertical resolution).
This is necessary to restore the aspect ratio in the 3D output because the TV expands each half to the full screen size.

Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.
