Getting a new edit-derived-bmesh was always creating a deform-vert array, even when it wasn't needed.
Since this was called on redraw, in many cases it was doing it unnecessarily.
Now pass in a custom-data mask and only fill in deform-verts when needed.
Gives noticeable drawing speedup (~10-30% here).
The problem here was that there are five path types internally (diffuse, glossy, transmission, subsurface and volume scatter), but subsurface isn't exposed to the user.
This caused some weird behaviour - if all four types are disabled on the lamp, Cycles doesn't even try sampling it, but if any type was active, the lamp would illuminate
the cube since none of the options set subsurface to zero.
In the future, it might be reasonable to add subsurface visibility as an option - but for now the weird and inconsistent behaviour can be fixed simply by setting both
diffuse and subsurface to zero if the user disables diffuse visibility.
A new option for Font/Text objects vertical alignment:
* Top Base-Line (current mode)
* Top
* Center
* Bottom
The Top is the equivalent as the Top-Baseline with an empty line at the begin of the
text. It's nice to have this option too though, since if we are driving
the alignment via Python we don't want to add extra lines to the text
only to accomodate to the desired vertical alignment.
The Center and Bottom are as intuitive as their name suggest.
When working with text boxes, the vertical alignment only work for
paragraphs that are not vertically full.

BM_face_split_edgenet wasn't correctly detecting boundary vertices to walk over,
since vertices may be attached to boundary edges not part of the newly created face.
rB046adde64f16 was actually pretty useless (and broken), since issue ends up not being
in binary search code, but in generation of the 'summed weights' array used to distribute
particles over mesh items - looks like very small weights could lead to null accumulated
weights, wich was breaking binary search.
Fixed simply by adding a minimal, non-zero weight for mesh items to be allowed to emit particles.
Hopefully we are done with this distribution mess!
It is not possible to use a set split by name as valid input to
check_node_input_traversed - it needs a complete set of all nodes visited so
far. On the other hand, the merge comparison loop should only check nodes that
were not just visited, but found unique. This means that there should really be
two separate data structures.
Without the fix, check_node_input_traversed actually never returns true, so
only nodes without any inputs are processed.
For non-branched path tracing with a GTX 960 and CUDA 7.5, this gives a small reduction
in stack usage but mainly: 8% faster render on BMW, 5% on pabellon, 13% on classroom.
This is an initial commit for half texture support in Cycles.
It adds the basic infrastructure inside of the ImageManager and support for these textures on CPU.
Supported:
* Half Float OpenEXR images (can be used for e.g HDRs or Normalmaps) now use 1/2 the memory, when loaded via disk (OIIO).
ToDo:
Various things like support for inbuilt half textures, GPU... will come later, step by step.
Part of my GSoC 2016.
Some area were still not in sync with readfile.c, now should be better.
Note that readfile.c has been used as référence here re us refcounting,
not sure how accurate it is, time will say :|
