Remove small ray offsets that were used to avoid self intersection, and leave
that to the newly added primitive object/prim comparison. These changes together
significantly reduce artifacts on small, large or far away objects.
The balance here is that overlapping primitives are not handled well and should
be avoided (though this was already an issue). The upside is that this is
something a user has control over, whereas the other artifacts had no good
manual solution in many cases.
There is a known issue where the Blender particle system generates overlapping
objects and in turn leads to render differences between CPU and GPU. This will
be addressed separately.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12954
We need to increase GPU memory usage a bit. Unfortunately we can't get away
with writing either reflection or transmission passes because these BSDFs may
scatter in either direction but still must be in a fixed reflection or
transmission category to match up with the color passes.
Remove prefix of filenames that is the same as the folder name. This used
to help when #includes were using individual files, but now they are always
relative to the cycles root directory and so the prefixes are redundant.
For patches and branches, git merge and rebase should be able to detect the
renames and move over code to the right file.
