This way it's more clear whether some issue is caused by lots of geometry in
the node or by lots of "transparent" BVH nodes.

The idea is to have a dedicated thread which is responsive for all the
file writing to a separate thread, so slow disk will not slow down
OpenGL itself.
Gives really nice speedup around 1.5x when exporting barber shop layout
file to h264 video.

At the moment light shading in Blender is produced in viewspace. Apparently, that's why
shader nodes work with normals in camera space. But it is not convenient for artists.
The more convenient approach is implemented in Cycles where normals are represented in world space.
Blend4Web Team designed the engine keeping in mind shader parameters readability,
so normals are interpreted in world space as well. And now our users have to use some tweaks, like
empty node group with the name "Replace", which is replacing one input by another on the engine side
(replacing working configuration in Blender Viewport by the configuration that has the same behavior in the engine).
This patch adds the ability to switch to world space for normals and lamp vector in BI and Viewport.
This patch is very important to us and we crave to see this patch in Blender 2.7 because
it will significantly simplify Blend4Web material creation workflow.

Normal Map node support for GLSL mode and the internal render (multiple tangents support).
The Normal Map node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles render.
It makes it possible to use normal mapping without additional material node in a node tree.
This patch implements Normal Map node for GLSL mode and the internal render.
Previously only the active UV layer was used to calculate tangents.

This is a new option for panorama cameras to render
stereo that can be used in virtual reality devices
The option is available under the camera panel when Multi-View is enabled (Views option in the Render Layers panel)
Known limitations:
------------------
* Parallel convergence is not supported (you need to set a convergence distance really high to simulate this effect).
* Pivot was not supposed to affect the render but it does, this has to be looked at, but for now set it to CENTER
* Derivatives in perspective camera need to be pre-computed or we shuld get rid of kcam->dx/dy (Sergey words, I don't fully grasp the implication shere)
* This works in perspective mode and in panorama mode. However, for fully benefit from this effect in perspective mode you need to render a cube map. (there is an addon for this, developed separately, perhaps we could include it in master).
* We have no support for "neck distance" at the moment. This is supposed to help with objects at short distances.
* We have no support to rotate the "Up Axis" of the stereo plane. Meaning, we hardcode 0,0,1 as UP, and create the stereo pair related to that. (although we could take the camera local UP when rendering panoramas, this wouldn't work for perspective cameras.
* We have no support for interocular distance attenuation based on the proximity of the poles (which helps to reduce the pole rotation effect/artifact).
THIS NEEDS DOCS - both in 2.78 release log and the Blender manual.
Meanwhile you can read about it here: http://code.blender.org/2015/03/1451
This patch specifically dates from March 2015, as you can see in the code.blender.org post. Many thanks to all the reviewers, testers and minor sponsors who helped me maintain spherical-stereo for 1 year.
All that said, have fun with this. This feature was what got me started with Multi-View development (at the time what I was looking for was Fulldome stereo support, but the implementation is the same). In order to make this into Blender I had to make it aiming at a less-specic user-case Thus Multi-View started. (this was December 2012, during Siggraph Asia and a chat I had with Paul Bourke during the conference). I don't have the original patch anymore, but you can find a re-based version of it from March 2013, right before I start with the Multi-View project https://developer.blender.org/P332

Quite trivial idea -- just pass tread ID to the texture sampling function.
Implemented as a TLS to avoid passing huge amount of extra contexts around.
Should be working on all platforms, but compilation test is required.

The issue was caused by some code accessing R from a functions which
are marked as safe for use from outside of render pipeline.
Now those functions are safe(er) for use.
|
|
The issue was happening when having unconnected point density which
will cache data but will not free it because there's no actual call
to the actual sampling.
Now the idea is to make sure cache is zeroed on file load and undo
and then caching via RNA will free the data if any exists. This could
leave us with a single copy of cache in the node if it's not used,
but it's quite small amount of memory and it's not leaking.

density input
The issue was caused by different AABB used by Cycles and texture sampler.
Instead of trying to keep this two functions in sync we now do have an
utility call in the point density node to query the AABB.

The issue was caused by possible use of object->derivedFinal from the render
thread, The patch tries to eliminate (or at least minimize, huh) amount of
access to the derivedFinal of a source object. It's still possible that in
the case of particle source derived mesh will be still unsafely used, but
with the patch applied we can easily change runtime part of the code and
cache derived mesh on the preparation stage.
Some ideas for the future:
- Check whether cache() was called on the point density node when calling
calc().
- Cache derivedMesh in the runtime part of point density node to avoid
possible remained thread conflicts.
- NULL the runtime part of the node on .blend load

The idea is to avoid having roundtrip from byte to float and back to byte buffer
and use render result's byte buffer to store result of sequencer rendering.
This actually matches to what regular render pipeline is doing and this gives
around 2-3 times speedup of sequencer export on a simple scenes.

`size_t` is useful for memory sizes or offsets,

This commit fixes issues with wrong socket type being added to the Cycles debug
pass compositor operation, which lead to crashes with non-value pass types.
This commit also reverts socket renaming thing because while it's was behaving
ok on runtime file reload might have loose the links which is annoying.

Quite straightforward implementation, but still needs some work for the split
kernel. Includes both regular and split kernel implementation for that.
The pass is not exposed to the interface yet because it's currently not really
easy to have same pass listed in the menu multiple times.

Originally I wanted to get rid of RenderResult->rect* entirely, but it's
convenient to have for temporary structs.
This patch makes sure they are used only when really needed, which
should help clearing the code out.

RenderResult with no RenderView)

RE_RenderViewGetByName()
Both functions try to find a valid RenderView and if they can't they

Write those on render result during rendering, so we can cleanly write a
render result image after rendering.

Combine all the highpoly pixel arrays into a single array with a lookup

Also, I'm commenting out the pass increase/decrease. This was broken

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

The issue was caused by the conflict between preview render which would set
R_NO_IMAGE_LOAD flag on the renderer and texture samplers called outside of
the render pipeline trying to use this flag.
Now the sampler functions accepts extra argument so render pipeline can
still skip image load, but calls outside of the pipeline will nicely load
all the images.
Not cleanest change in the world but good enough to unlock gooseberry team,
and assuming we already had pool passed all over the place it should be all
fine.
Will need to reshuffle arguments into SamplerOptions structure later.
|
|
This function sets an error message which would be displayed after
rendering is over and info space lost the link to the engine.

Two fixes here (only the second one is strictly needed to fix the issue,
but both make the system better).
First is introduction of a random generator array for use with threaded
systems where each thread needs to access its own number generator.
The random texture now uses this so it should not be influenced by other
random generator reseedings of the main random generator like it did
before.
Second, I reshuffled the texture code to resample the upper bits of the
random number first. According to Numerical Recipes, this is where the
most variance can be found, so by sampling those we avoid correlation
issues. Also, multiplying here is not ideal because if a pair of bits
are zero, then the whole result will also be zero.
Overall this is much more random (tm) than before, however result will
also be brighter, since we now have less black spots. Tweaking the
brightness/contrast should somewhat fix that, generally having the same
result as before is not possible anyway if we are to really fix this.
Also, seems like exposing procedural depth might be nice here since it
influences the precision of the texture lookup.

If render engine has bl_use_texture_preview set to truth blender wouldn't fallback to

Currently only summed number of traversal steps and intersections used by the
camera ray intersection pass is implemented, but in the future we will support
more debug passes which would help checking what things makes the scene slow.
Example of such extra passes could be number of bounces, time spent on the
shader tree evaluation and so.
Implementation from the Cycles side is pretty much straightforward, could only
mention here that it's a build-time option disabled by default.
From the blender side it's implemented as a PASS_DEBUG with several subtypes
possible. This way we don't need to create an extra DNA pass type for each of
the debug passes, saving us a bits.
