Select operator that takes multiple selected face regions and
selects any number of matching regions (when they have distinguishing features to isolate them).
UI access next.
Issue was caused by the launcher not dealing with slashes in the way
windows expects them to be handled -- last slash of the path considered
an escape character for the following qoute.
This is definitely to be ported to the 2.72 release.
This helps to improve the accuracy of UV unwrapping and laplacian deform for
high poly meshes, which could get warped quite badly. It's not much slower,
doubles are pretty fast on modern CPUs, but it does double memory usage. This
seems acceptable as otherwise high poly meshes would not work correctly anyway.
Fixes T39004.
It works around strange shading bug when building with MSVC.
If such weirdeness continues, we perhaps would need to use
proper inline flags all the time.
Anyway, lets see how things will behave now.
Instead of having a label which basically duplicated the information
about experimental feature set being used (which had a bug because
it claimed experimental GPU kernel is used even if compute device is
CPU btw) now we've got an enum item icon.
So once you switched to experimental feature set you'll see an
exclamation mark icon in the enum, so you know something might be
unstable or slow.
Updating maximum requires a bit of a cycle which usually does 1 iteration only,
sometimes needs a bit more but seems there's no speed regressions.
For now the code is commented out. This way it's easier for others to verify
there's no speed regressions.

In order to compile the new kernel you need to specify sm_52 in SCons / CMake, and use CUDA Toolkit 6.5.19, from here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads-geforce-gtx9xx
Note: sm_52 is not enabled per default yet, so it won't be bundled with the Buildbot builds. That will be addressed later.
Basically the title says it all, volume stack initialization now is aware that
camera might be inside of the volume. This gives quite noticeable render time
regressions in cases camera is in the volume (didn't measure them yet) because
this requires quite a few of ray-casting per camera ray in order to check which
objects we're inside. Not quite sure if this might be optimized.
But the good thing is that we can do quite a good job on detecting whether
camera is outside of any of the volumes and in this case there should be no
time penalty at all (apart from some extra checks during the sync state).
For now we're only doing rather simple AABB checks between the viewplane and
volume objects. This could give some false-positives, but this should be good
starting point.
Need to mention panoramic cameras here, for them it's only check for whether
there are volumes in the scene, which would lead to speed regressions even if
the camera is outside of the volumes. Would need to figure out proper check
for such cameras.
There are still quite a few of TODOs in the code, but the patch is good enough
to start playing around with it checking whether there are some obvious mistakes
somewhere.
Currently the feature is only available in the Experimental feature sey, need
to solve some of the TODOs and look into making things faster before considering
the feature is ready for the official feature set. This would still likely
happen in current release cycle.

Basically the title says it all, we need to update volume stack when doing ray
scatter for SSS. This leads to speed regressions in cases scene does have both
volume and SSS (performance in case there's no SSS or no volume should be the
same).
We might try optimizing kernel_path_subsurface_update_volume_stack() a bit by
either recording all intersections or using some more appropriate visibility
flags.

Ghash comp callbacks must return false in case a & b are equal!
Also slightly cleaned up gash code using those comp func,
since those return booleans now, let's compare tham against booleans!
This is rather useful to see how good optimization went and so.
Currently uses quite simple notation: shader nodes are nodes on the
graph, connects between graph nodes are named by the sockets names,
so i.e. connection between BSDF and Mix would be named bsdf:closure1.
Could be improved in the feature to draw fancier graph, but it's good
enough already.
Use in the following way:
- To create graphix file call graph->dump_graph("graph.dot")
- To visualize the grapf call: dot -Tpng graph.dot -o graph.png
This commit makes it possible to use Glog library for the debug logging.
For now only possible when using CMake and in order to use the logging
the WITH_CYCLES_LOGGING configuration variable is to be enabled.
When this option is not enabled or when using Scons there's no difference
in Cycles behavior at all, when using logging and no output to the console
impact is gonna to be minimal.
This is done in order to make it possible to have debug logging persistent
in code (without need to add it when troubleshooting some bug and removing
it afterwards).
For now actual logging is not placed yet, only all the functions needed for
the logging are written and so.
This would give some performance boost when solving huge scenes,
amount of boost depends on particular scene.
For now enable all of the specializations, in the future we might
add some local patches and restrict only unneeded ones.
Attempt to select closest bones when possible.
Occlusion query selection does't support this well because we can't
really derive depth information from occlusion tests. May be possible to
improve this somewhat in the future.
tri_shader does no longer need to a float.
