It is quite likely in a triangulated mesh that the actual island edge
belongs to a different triangle than the current pixel; for example
consider corners of a triangulated axis aligned rectangle face that
have the additional edge: a pixel there will have to be assigned to
one of the triangles, but one of the edges of the original rectangle
can only be accessed through the other triangle.
Thus for robust operation it is necessary to do a recursive search.
The search is limited by requiring that it only goes through edges
that bring it closer to the target point, and also by depth as a
safeguard.

The code requires the pixel on the other side of the seam to be assigned
precisely to the expected triangle. This can cause false negatives around
vertices, where a pixel is likely to touch multiple triangles and thus
cannot be said to unambiguously belong to any one of them, so check
distance to the intended triangle and accept the result if it's close.
1. Forcibly symmetrize the neighbor relations, so that if A is neighbor
of B, B is neighbor of A. The existing code is guaranteed to violate
this if texture resolution is different between the sides of a seam.
2. In texture mode dynamic paint adds a 1 pixel wide border around the
islands. These pixels aren't really part of the dynamic paint domain
and thus by design can't have symmetrical neighbor relations. This
means they can't be treated by effects like normal pixels.
The simplest way to handle it in a consistent way is to exclude
them from effects, but add an additional pass that recomputes them
as average of their non-border neighbors, located on both sides of
the seam.
This avoids intersection AABB of different curve primitives
which makes it less ray-to-primitive intersections.
This gives about 30% speedup of hair rendering in the barber
shop scenes here. There is still some work to be done on those
files to solve major speed issues on certain frames.
This way we can have different limits for regular and motion curves
which we'll do in one of the upcoming commits in order to gain some
percents of speedup.
The reasoning here is that motion curves are usually intersecting
lots of others bounding boxes, which makes it inefficient to have
single primitive in the leaf node.
Maximal number of elements is supposed to be inclusive. That is what
it was always meant in this file and what @brecht considered still
the case in 6974b69c61.
In fact, the commit message to that change mentions that we allowed
up to 2 curve primitives per leaf while in fact it was doing up to 1
curve primitive.
Making it real 2 primitives at a max gives about 5% slowdown for the
koro.blend scene. This is a reason why BVHParams.max_curve_leaf_size
was changed to 1 by this change.
Since the beginning of times hair settings in cycles were global for
the whole scene but were located in the particle context. This causes
quite some trickery to get shots set up for the movies here in the
studio by forcing artists to create dummy particle system to change
settings of hair on the shot.
While ideally this settings should be properly become per-particle
system for the time being it will save sweat and blood to move the
settings to scene context.

Made them closer to how GTest shows the output, so reading test logs
is easier now (at least feels more uniform).
Additionally now we know how much time tests are taking so can tweak
samples/resolution to reduce render time of slow tests.
It is now also possible to enable colored messages using magic
CYCLESTEST_COLOR environment variable. This makes it even easier to
visually grep failed/passed tests using `ctest -R cycles -V`.
Reusing PROP_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE instead of adding a new property flag just for search strings. Currently it's only used for search strings anyway so seems fine for now.
Fixes T50336.
This splits `interp_weights_face_v3` into `interp_weights_tri_v3` and
`interp_weights_quad_v3`, in order to properly handle three sided polygons
without needing a useless extra index in your weight array. This also
improves clarity and consistency with other math_geom functions, thus
reducing potential future errors.

The issue was that we used to compare number of vertices for mesh after the auto
smooth was applied (at the center of the shutter time) with number of vertices
prior to the auto smooth applied. This caused false-positive consideration of a
mesh as changing topology.
Now we do autosplit as early as possible and do it from blender side, so Cycles
does not need to re-implement splitting on it's side.
This way render engine can request mesh to be auto-split and not
worry about implementing this functionality on it's own.
Please note that this split is to be performed prior to tessellation.
Other than implementing a `mid_v3_v3_array` function, this removes
`cent_tri_v3` and `cent_quad_v3` in favor of `mid_v3_v3v3v3` and
`mid_v3_v3v3v3v3` respectively.

When layout has only small buttons (buttons with icon and without label)
its size should be fixed. Code was modified to be able to add a new UI_ITEM_MIN
flag which indicates that the layout has only small fixed-width buttons.

Am pretty sure node update should not touch to Main database like that,
but for now let's allow it, I guess the hack is needed for things like
Sverchok. ;)
If the active object is in weight paint mode, but some armatures in pose mode, 'manipulate center points' still affects the transformation. See bd2034a749.
Also removed redundant check, we basically did the same check for paint modes twice.
If a very low wetness absolute alpha brush is used with spread and
drying effects enabled, some pixels will rapidly accumulate paint.
This happens because paint drying code applies a minimal wetness
threshold that causes the paint to instantly dry out.
Specifically, every frame the brush adds paint at the specified
absolute alpha and wetness set to the minimal threshold, spread
drops it below threshold, and finally drying moves all paint to
the dry layer. This drastically accelerates the rate of flow of
paint into the affected pixels.
Fortunately, the reason paint spread actually ends up decreasing
wetness turns out to be a simple floating point precision problem,
which can be easily fixed by restructuring the affected expression.
Reported on IRC by dfelinto, thanks.
Root of the issue was that opening a new text file would create
datablock with one user, when Text editor is actually a 'user one' user.
This was leaving Text datablocks in inconsitent user count, and
generating asserts in BKE_library area.
Also changed a weird piece of code related to that extra user thing in
main remapping func.
Main issue here was that in old usercount system 'user_real' did simply
not allow that kind of thing to work. With new pait of 'USER_EXTRA'
tags, it becomes possible to handle the case correctly, by merely refining
checks about indirectly use objects whene removing them from a scene.
Incidently, found another related bug, 'link group objects to scene' was not
incrementing objects' usercount - bad, very very bad!
The settings.frame_start rna was clamping frame start to frame end when frame start was bigger than frame end.
The fix is simply to set frame end first
This is a hacky fix for a regression introduced sometime after 2.76.
The "Strip Time" setting on NLA Strips could not be edited without the
value immediately jumping back to the current FCurve value (or 0.0 if no
keyframes existed); even enabling autokey wouldn't let you key the property.
Until we have proper overrides (that only lose their values on frame change),
it's best that this setting is editable, even if it does mean it you have to
manually change the frame to see the updated values.
