ray intersection
TODO: We might want to refactor debug passes into PASS_DEBUG and some
debug_type (similar to Blender's side passes) to avoid issue of running
out of bits.
|
|
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.

RE_RenderLayerGetPass

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.
(they are needed when using RE_AcquireResultImage() - which produces a
RenderResult with no RenderView)

RE_RenderViewGetByName()
Both functions try to find a valid RenderView and if they can't they
fallback to the first RenderView of the RenderResult
|
|
|
|
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
object_id for each of the highpoly objects.
Note: This changes the Bake API, external engines should refer to the
bake_api.c for the latest API.

This approach gets rid of iuser->pass for good.
Also, I'm commenting out the pass increase/decrease. This was broken
since multiview. I will fix it later (before 2.75), but I didn't want to
get this patch mangled with that fix.

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.

Need to check how often artists are changing start

Pretty much straightforward implementation with the

Not sure how to make it faster actually. Maybe it's
just a matter of making upscale fast enough.

Fix for 2.71

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.

When "Selected to Active" is not on, we bake all the selected objects.
This is the same behaviour we have for Blender Internal.
Dev note: I moved most of the validation tests to outside the bake()
routine so the function can be called in loop.

This should be the final fix for the applyrotation issue. It baffles me

This fixes most of the cases, the only situation not addressed is when
the highpoly object(s) has non-uniform scale.
mul_transposed_mat3_m4_v3() should take care of non-uniform scales so
I'm a bit confused on why it doesn't work. The lowpoly object can have
any transformation, the only issue is if the highpoly object has
non-uniform scale.

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).

validity check for render operator.
This way scene DNA can stay read-only there, cleaner and we don't have
to pass an awkward bool pointer around.
|

The render operator invoke checks render layers, which can force the
render layer to be activated. This requires a notifier, which has to be
done in the operator itself (can't do this inside pipeline code).

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.

Summary:
Issue was caused by the same tile being written twice to
the EXR file. This was happening because of partial update
of work-in-progress tiles was merging result to the final
render result in order to make color management pipeline
happy.
We need to avoid such a merges and keep memory usage as
low as possible when Save Buffers is enabled.
Now render pipeline will allocate special display buffer
in render layer which will contain combined pass in the
display space. This keeps memory usage as low as we can
do at this moment.
There's one weak thing which is changing color management
settings during rendering would lead to lossy conversion.
This is because render result's display buffer uses color
space from the time when rendering was invoked.
This is actually what was happening in previous release
already actually so not a big issue.

Summary:
Mainly addressed to solve old TODO with color managed fallback
to CPU mode when displaying render result during rendering.
That fallback was caused by the fact that partial image update
was always acquiring image buffer for composite output and was
only modifying display buffer directly.
This was a big issue for Cycles rendering which renders layers
one by one and wanted to display progress of each individual
layer. This lead to situations when display buffer was based on
what Cycles passes via RenderResult and didn't take layer/pass
from image editor header into account.
Now made it so image buffer which partial update is operating
with always corresponds to what is set in image editor header.
To make Cycles displaying progress of all the layers one by one
made it so image_rect_update switches image editor user to
newly rendering render layer. It happens only once when render
engine starts rendering next render layer, so should not be
annoying for navigation during rendering.
Additional change to render engines was done to make it so
they're able to merge composite output to final result
without marking tile as done. This is done via do_merge_result
argument to end_result() callback. This argument is optional
so should not break script compatibility.
Additional changes:
- Partial display update for Blender Internal now happens from
the same thread as tile rendering. This makes it so display
conversion (which could be pretty heavy actually) is done in
separate threads. Also gives better UI feedback when rendering
easy scene with small tiles.
- Avoid freeing/allocating byte buffer for render result
if it's owned by the image buffer. Only mark it as invalid
for color management.
Saves loads of buffer re-allocations in cases when having
several image editors opened with render result. This change
in conjunction with the rest of the patch gave around
50%-100% speedup of render time when displaying non-combined
pass during rendering on my laptop.
- Partial display buffer update was wrong for buffers with number
of channels different from 4.
- Remove unused window from RenderJob.
- Made image_buffer_rect_update static since it's only used
in single file.

For now this provides the following outputs:

- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
