There is a new option in the Bake panel to enable baking to vertex colors. Unlike regular baking, this mode does not require a UV map or image to bake to, however the object must have a vertex color layer.
Thanks to:
- AutoCRC for funding
- Brech van Lommel and Dalai Felinto for their initial advice on how to implement it
- Campbell Barton for helping to make this feature work with modifiers and bmesh

This commit implements highlight of tiles which are being currently
rendered for both Blender Internal and Cycles (and should be possible
to use it for other external engines as well).
Couple of implementation details:
- Added one extra boolean flag to render engine which should be set
to truth if render engine wants to highlight tiles. If so, property
use_highlight_tiles should be set to True.
- Render Part's ready boolena was changed by status enum, which could
be NONE, IN_PROGRESS and READY. All render part with IN_PROGRESS
status will be highlighted in image editor.
- For external engines render part's status is filling in automatically.
Initially all render parts has got NONE status, then one external
engine acquire render result, corresponding part will change status
to IN_PROGRESS. As soon as render result is finished, corresponding
render part will change status to FINISHED
This should make it easy to highlight tiles for other engines as well.

This assumptions are now made:
- Internally float buffers are always linear alpha-premul colors
- Readers should worry about delivering float buffers with that
assumptions.
- There's an input image setting to say whether it's stored with
straight/premul alpha on the disk.
- Byte buffers are now assumed have straight alpha, readers should
deliver straight alpha.
Some implementation details:
- Removed scene's color unpremultiply setting, which was very
much confusing and was wrong for default settings.
Now all renderers assumes to deliver premultiplied alpha.
- IMB_buffer_byte_from_float will now linearize alpha when
converting from buffer.
- Sequencer's effects were changed to assume bytes have got
straight alpha. Most of effects will work with bytes still,
however for glow it was more tricky to avoid data loss, so
there's a commented out glow implementation which converts
byte buffer to floats first, operates on floats and returns
bytes back. It's slower and not sure if it should actually
be used -- who're using glow on alpha anyway?
- Sequencer modifiers should also be working nice with straight
bytes now.
- GLSL preview will predivide float textures to make nice shading,
shading with byte textures worked nice (GLSL was assuming straight
alpha).
- Blender Internal will set alpha=1 to the whole sky. The same
happens in Cycles and there's no way to avoid this -- sky is
neither straight nor premul and doesn't fit color pipeline well.
- Straight alpha mode for render result was also eliminated.
- Conversion to correct alpha need to be done before linearizing
float buffer.
- TIFF will now load and save files with proper alpha mode setting
in file meta data header.
- Remove Use Alpha from texture mapping and replaced with image
datablock setting.
Behaves much more predictable and clear from code point of view
and solves possible regressions when non-premultiplied images were
used as textures with ignoring alpha channel.

While trying to render a RenderLayer from a linked scene, I couldnt tell why it wasnt doing anything. It just stopped rendering. Until I look on the console and see the No Camera print.
This commit replaces the simple terminal printf with an actual error report, that shows in both terminal and to the user:
http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=42499
I believe this commit is pretty harmless, and only adds functionality. But feel free to remove it.

This codec is absolutely needed to generate DCP using OpenDCP,
before that external application to convert JP2 to J2K was used
which slowed down export a lot.
New codec is exposed to image format settings panel and called
Codec. Default one is JP2 which creates files with .jp2 extension,
new one is called J2K which creates with .j2c extension.
Other changes:
- Fixed avi jpeg warning which was treating as error here.
- Made it so extension is detecting from ImageFormatData instead
of image file type, which makes it possible to have different
extension for the same file type depending on it's settings.
IRIS format should still be changed (depending on number of
channels it'll be .bw, .rgb or .rgba extension)
- Default image format settings would be set from image buffer
when re-saving it. Makes it possible to easily open .j2c file
and save it using J2K codec (without this change it'll save as
.jp2 using JP2 codec)

Material Texture blend modes Screen, Overlay and Multiply didn't respect
the alpha for textures... an error I could trace back to 2004 even.
Obviously the fix should be done, but it might change the appearance of
renders somewhat. Will keep an eye open if this is worth ugly
version-patching.
Now: image textures with alpha, will only apply the blend modes
respecting the alpha values.

This implements AO baking directly from multi-resolution mesh with much
less memory overhead than regular baker.
Uses rays distribution implementation from Morten Mikkelsen, raycast
is based on RayObject also used by Blender Internal.
Works in single-thread yet, multi-threading would be implemented later.

Currently will only keep object editor a bit clearer, but in
the future will be needed because of using some internal renderer
data structures.

* Motion blur with shutter time > 1 did result in the correct evaluation
of some modifiers because it set the subframe to values > 1, and some
places assume the current frame to be set to the integer coordinate and
the subframe to be a value between 0 and 1.
* Shape keys did not take subframe time offsets into account.
* Point density texture was using an current frame value that was never set.

Also changed shebang to '#!/usr/bin/env python', this is more portable across unixes...

Curves heavily scaled down will have render artifacts
Caused by precision issues when computing average normal map
for INDEX3 surface type. Now calculation happens in local object
space instead of world space.

volume wasn't accurate, it still isn't quite but hopefully a bit better by
taking clip start into account.
With clip start it's actually impossible to do a single 'inside' test, since
there will not be a single point where all camera rays start from, though for
small clip start they will be close together.

This commit makes BKE_image_acquire_ibuf referencing result, which means once
some area requested for image buffer, it'll be guaranteed this buffer wouldn't
be freed by image signal.
To de-reference buffer BKE_image_release_ibuf should now always be used.
To make referencing working correct we can not rely on result of
image_get_ibuf_threadsafe called outside from thread lock. This is so because
we need to guarantee getting image buffer from list of loaded buffers and it's
referencing happens atomic. Without lock here it is possible that between call
of image_get_ibuf_threadsafe and referencing the buffer IMA_SIGNAL_FREE would
be called. Image signal handling too is blocking now to prevent such a
situation.
Threads are locking by spinlock, which are faster than mutexes. There were some
slowdown reports in the past about render slowdown when using OSX on Xeon CPU.
It shouldn't happen with spin locks, but more tests on different hardware would
be really welcome. So far can not see speed regressions on own computers.
This commit also removes BKE_image_get_ibuf, because it was not so intuitive
when get_ibuf and acquire_ibuf should be used.
Thanks to Ton and Brecht for discussion/review :)

Crash would have been happen when changing render ending at the same time
rendering happens. It could be final Cycles render or even preview LUX render.

was added for cycles.
This fixes the case where the option is disabled. I moved the option now to
Blender itself and made it keep the engine around only when it's enabled. Also
fixes case where there could be issues when switching to another renderer.

This option enables keeping loaded images in the memory in-between
of rendering.
Implemented by keeping render engine alive for until Render structure
is being freed.
Cycles will free all data when render finishes, optionally keeping
image manager untouched. All shaders, meshes, objects will be
re-allocated next time rendering happens.
Cycles cession and scene will be re-created from scratch if render/
scene parameters were changed.
This will also allow to keep compiled OSL shaders in memory without
need to re-compile them again.
P.S. Performance panel could be cleaned up a bit, not so much happy
with it's vertical alignment currently but not sure how to make
it look better.
P.P.S. Currently the only way to free images from the device is to
disable Persistent Images option and start rendering.

There were a bunch of other issues with dupli motion blur and syncing, the problem
being that there was no proper way to detect corresponding duplis between frames
or updates. As a solution, a persistent_id was added to the DupliObject. It's an
extension of the previous index value, with one index for each dupli level. This
can be used to reliably find matching dupli objects between frames. Works with
nested duplis, multiple particle systems, etc.

free_main().

Now tile size is setting up explicitly instead of using number of tiles.
This allows better control over GPU performance, where having tiles aligned
to specific size makes lots of sense.
Still to come: need to update startup.blend to make tiles size 64x64.

This commit adds memory usage information while rendering.
It reports memory used by device, meaning:
- For CPU it'll report real memory consumption
- For GPU rendering it'll report GPU memory consumption, but it'll
also mean the same memory is used from host side.
This information displays information about memory requested by Cycles,
not memory really allocated on a device. Real memory usage might be
higher because of memory fragmentation or optimistic memory allocator.
There's really nothing we can do against this.
Also in contrast with blender internal's render cycles memory usage
does not include memory used by scene, only memory needed by cycles
itself will be displayed. So don't freak out if memory usage reported
by cycles would be much lower than blender internal's.
This commit also adds RenderEngine.update_memory_stats callback which
is used to tell memory consumption from external engine to blender.
This information is used to generate information line after rendering
is finished.

* Shader script node added, which stores either a link to a text datablock or
file on disk, and has functions to add and remove sockets.
* Callback RenderEngine.update_script_node(self, node) added for render engines
to compile the shader and update the node with new sockets.
Thanks to Thomas, Lukas and Dalai for the implementation.

when there was a tiny mismatch between low and high poly models, maybe because
of float precision when editing the mesh. Added a small epsilon now to avoid this.

smaller than the number of shadow sample buffers. There was not enough shadow in
such cases, as some of the sample buffers were not filled in.
