Goal is to make most of the API independent of OpenGL, Vulkan, any other backend.
Able to remove default case from ElementList_size because IndexType only covers index types. Not that and *everything else* like GLenum.
For example, when using a radius of 1, only 9 pixels (due to weighting maybe
even less) will be used, but the transform code may still decide to use a
5-dimensional (or even higher) fit.
This causes severe overfitting and therefore weird pixel values.
To avoid this, this commit limits the amount of dimensions to a third of the
pixel number. For a radius of 3 or more, this doesn't change anything, but
for 1 and 2 it can prevent fireflies and/or negative values being produced.
Once again, numerical instabilities causing the Cholesky decomposition to fail.
However, further increasing the diagonal correction just because of a few
pixels in very specific scenes and settings seems unjustified.
Therefore, this commit simply falls back to the basic NLM-filtered pixel
if the more advanced model fails.
We only keep this as a way to get GPU_stubs to run, in case we want to do a
throughout cleanup in the codebase and want code using legacy calls to
fail to build.
There is no more point of keep those around. ES20 may need special case
when/if we dabble with it again. Meanwhile no point on polluting the
code with this.
(ghost still has reference for the PROFILE, but that's reasonable)
I wouldn't mind switching fully to Google style, but i am against of
mixing two different styles in same project. So just stick to brace
at the new line after function definition.
There were following issues with ccl_restrict_ptr:
- We already had ccl_restrict for all platforms.
- It was secretly adding `const` qualifier to the declaration,
which is quite weird since non-const pointer can also be
declared as restricted.
- We never in Blender are using foo_ptr or FooPtr type definitions,
so not sure why we should introduce such a thing here.
- It is absolutely wrong from semantic point of view to put pointer
into the restrict macro -- const is a part of type, not part of
hint for compiler that some pointer is never aliased.
Denoise commit introduced kernel_write_result() which saves light passes, so
no need to call both kernel_write_result() and kernel_write_light_passes() from
the split kernel.
Weirdly enough. kernel_write_result() does not take care about debug passes.
The problem was that Cycles implicitly uses a transparent surface shader when only
volume nodes are used, but since the black emission shader gets optimized away,
it was no longer detected and therefore no transparent surface was used.
Therefore, the shader now stores whether volume nodes were connected before
optimizing.
Extremely bright pixels in the rendered image cause the denoising algorithm
to produce extremely noticable artifacts. Therefore, a heuristic is needed
to exclude these pixels from the filtering process.
The new approach calculates the 75% percentile of the 5x5 neighborhood of
each pixel and flags the pixel if it is more than twice as bright.
During the reconstruction process, flagged pixels are skipped. Therefore,
they don't cause any problems for neighboring pixels, and the outlier pixels
themselves are replaced by a prediction of their actual value based on their
feature pass values and the neighboring pixels.
Therefore, the denoiser now also works as a smarter despeckling filter that
uses a more accurate prediction of the pixel instead of a simple average.
This can be used even if denoising isn't wanted by setting the denoising
radius to 1.
The implementation originally handled four different cases:
Regular glossy, glass, metallic fresnel glossy and diffuse.
However, only the first two are actually used currently. Therefore, this commit
removes the other two, which allows to simplify the code.
Additionally, due to the Principled BSDF, the function arguments are now
identical for glossy and glass, which allows to get rid of some ugly #ifdefs.
Use smarter check of where the file is coming from instead of
attempting to replace same source twice with different settings.
Brings down processing time from 3.6sec to 1.8sec.
Revert 7a18ee62eb and 1ff97bbfff after discussing with @fclem.
VertexBuffer_size should always report the same buffer size, but without asking/calling OpenGL.
