before this only active scene would be rendered with border.
When do_render_fields_blur_3d() is finished, it'll modify
render's display rect so it'll correspond bordered render
result placed on black backgrund. Actual border is stored
nowhere, which makes it only way to re-calculate disprect
for all other renders used in compo based on source. Not
so big deal actually.
Also needed to modify Cycles a bit, because before this
patch it used border settings from scene being rendered.
Now made it so render data is passing to external engines.
Using a property inside RenderEngine structure for this.
Not best ever design for passing render data, but this
would prevent API breakage. So now external engines could
access engine.render to access active rendering settings.

Yes, again.
There's some t within which reset is not allowed. This is so no reset happens
too often for performance issues. If camera changes too often, some reset could
be missed because of this timeout.
For now tag engine for update, which will update viewport from blender side.
Proper solution could be to detect such a changes from blender side and tag
cycles for refresh instead of trying to detect changes form cycles, but that's
for later.
Issue was caused by rare cases when camera move happens just after
last sample was finished, this would lead to missing delay reset
because render cycle will go to pause_cond.wait(). No reset will
happen at this point because of some kind of optimization which
checks whether camera is tagged for update and wouldn't do reset
in this case.
Talked to Brecht and seems this optimization is not actually needed
and removing it will solve issue with frozen preview.
Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!
When using triangle primitives this fix enables 'closed tip'.
UVs and vertex colours are added when using triangle primitives for hair.
Two new preset modes have also been included to allow easy access to curves and triangle planes.
Issue was caused by cycles trying to find builtin images in a main
database and in case of preview render images are not in database,
they're just referenced by shader node tree.
Now builtin images in cycles have got void* pointer to store data
needed to load builtin images.
In case ob blender session, this pointer will store pointer from
PointerRNA for image datablock and used later to construct Image
class based on this pointer.
This also saves database lookup for final render which is nice :)
Reviewed by Brecht.
Addition of a RNA function to toggle between the hair settings and rebuild the cache. This enables the usage of the render step, child number and full display percentage with f12 rendering.
A scaling to the strand radius has also been added for the static bvh. This only matches up with dynamic for uniform scaling.
A very small fix is included for multiple uvs/vertex colours when using child particles.
Patch by Sergey, .blend by Thomas and some further tweaks by me.
Still to solve later: allow external engines to specify own preview .blend, for
now the code here is doing too much magic hacking on the preview scene still.
Added export of multiple UV coordinates and vertex colour attributes.
A debugging option to export the strands without using the cache has also been removed.
Add operators to add/remove rigid body world and objects.
Add UI scripts.
The rigid body simulation works on scene level and overrides the
position/orientation of rigid bodies when active.
It does not deform meshes or generate data so there is no modifier.
Usage:
* Add rigid body world in the scene tab
* Create a group
* Add objects to the group
* Assign group to the rigid body world
* Play animation
For convenience the rigid body tools operators in the tools panel of the 3d view
will add a world, group and add objects to the group automatically so you only have
to press one button to add/remove rigid bodies to the simulation.

This adds support of movie textures for Cycles rendering.
Uses the same builtin images routines as packed/generated images,
but with some extra non-rna hookups from blender_session side.
Basically, it's not so clear how to give access to video frames
via C++ RNA -- it'll require exposing ImBuf to API, doing some
threading locks and so. Ended up adding two more functions which
are actually bad level call, but don't consider it's so much bad
-- we have few bad calls already, which are actually related.
Changed a bit how builtin images names are passing to image
manager. Now it's not just an ID datablock name, but also a frame
number concatenated via '@' character, which makes itpossible to
easily know frame number to be used for movie images, without
adding extra descriptors to image manager.
Decoding of builtin name is a bit slower now, but it should be
still nothing in comparison with rendering complexity.
Also exposed image user's frame_current to python API, which
is needed to get absolute frame number of movie from node's
image user.
P.S. Generated/packed images are also using bad level call but
only does it to make things more clear here. Either all images
are using C++ RNA here or no images does. That's the most clear
for now.
The curve segment primitive has been added. This includes an intersection function and changes to the BVH.
A few small errors in the line segment intersection routine are also fixed.
precompiled cubins instead,
Logic here is following now:
- If there're precompiled cubins, assume CUDA compute is available,
otherwise
- If cuda toolkit found, assume CUDA compute is available
- In all other cases CUDA compute is not available
For windows there're still check for only precompiled binaries,
no runtime compilation is allowed.
Ended up with such decision after discussion with Brecht. The thing
is, if we'll support runtime compilation on windows we'll end up
having lots of reports about different aspects of something doesn't
work (you need particular toolkit version, msvc installed, environment
variables set properly and so) and giving feedback on such reports
will waste time.
This commit adds support of packed and generated images
for Cycles when using SVM backend. Movies are still not
supported. This changes also doesn't touch OSL which is
much less trivial to adopt for any images which are not
saved to disk.
Implementation details:
- When adding images to Image Manager is now possible
to mark image as builtin. Builtin images will bypass
OIIO loader and will use special loading callbacks.
- Callbacks are set by Blender Session and they're
using C++ RNA interface to obtain needed data (pixels,
dimensions, is_float flag).
- Image Manager assumes file path is used as reference
to a builtin images, but in fact currently image
datablock name is used for reference. This makes it
easy to find an image in BlendData database.
- Added some extra properties to Image RNA:
* channels, which denotes actual number of channels
in ImBuf. This is needed to treat image's pixels
correct (before it wasn't possible because API
used internal number of channels for pixels which
is in fact doesn't correlate with image depth)
* is_float, which is truth if image is stored in
float buffer of ImBuf.
- Implemented string lookup for C++ RNA collections
for cases there's no manual lookup function.
OSL is not supported because it used own image loading
and filtering routines and there's seems to be no API
to feed pre-loaded pixels directly to the library.
Think we'll either need to add some API to support
such kind of feeding or consider OSL does not have
support of packed images at all.
Movies are not supported at this moment because of lack
of RNA API to load specified frame. It's not difficult
to solve, just need to consider what to best here:
* Either write some general python interface for ImBuf
and use it via C++ API, or
* Write a PY API function which will return pixels for
given frame, or
* Use bad-level BKE_* call
Anyway, small steps, further improvements later.

big lamps and sharp glossy reflections. This was already supported for mesh
lights and the background, so lamps should do it too.
This is not for free and it's a bit slower than I hoped even though there is
no extra BVH ray intersection. I'll try to optimize it more later.
* Area lights look a bit different now, they had the wrong shape before.
* Also fixes a sampling issue in the non-progressive integrator.
* Only enabled for the CPU, will test on the GPU later.
* An option to disable this will be added for situations where it does not help.
Same time comparison before/after:

* Added new option to chose the tile order.
In addition to the "Center" method, 4 new methods are available now, like Top -> Bottom and Right -> Left.
Thanks to Sergey for code review and some tweaks!
should be no functional changes yet. UV, tangent and intercept are now stored
as attributes, with the intention to add more like multiple uv's, vertex
colors, generated coordinates and motion vectors later.
Things got a bit messy due to having both triangle and curve data in the same
mesh data structure, which also gives us two sets of attributes. This will get
cleaned up when we split the mesh class.
