60044b12da Tomato Cycles: use the same order of parts as Blender Internal 2012-07-31 13:15:53 +00:00

7c8f82a174 Cycles: regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to
save memory during render and cache render results.


Implementation notes:

In the render engine API it's now possible to get the render result for
one render layer only, and retrieve the expected tile size in case save
buffers is used. This is needed because EXR expects tiles with particular
size and coordinates.

The EXR temporary files are now also separated per layer, since Cycles
can't give the full render result for all render layers, and EXR doesn't
support writing parts of tiles.

In Cycles internally the handling of render buffers and multi GPU
rendering in particular changed quite a bit, and could use a bit more
refactoring to make things more consistent and simple.

accessed on devices.

66b1dfae89 Cycles: tweaks to properties and nodes
* Passes renamed to samples
* Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation
* Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction
* Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed
* Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node
* Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights

There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not
perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.

089abdecf7 Cycles: attempted fixes for OS X preview render problem, and disable
kernel cache there now as well since it seems to give issues there.

ebc653463d Cycles:
* Fix missing update when editing objects with emission materials.
* Fix preview pass rendering set to 1 not showing full resolution.
* Fix CUDA runtime compiling failing due to missing cache directory.
* Use settings from first render layer for visibility and material override.

And a bunch of incomplete and still disabled code mostly related to closure
sampling.

bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/
* Sobol direction vectors from:
