This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

all the changes since intermediate changes would often fail building or tests.
Ref T87839, T87837, T87836
Fixes T90734, T89353, T80267, T80267, T77185, T69800
This is relatively expensive and as per the OSL spec, this value is not
expected to be meaningful for non-light shaders. This makes viewport updates
a little faster.
As a side effect also fixes T82723, viewport refresh issue with volume density.
The refactoring of texture handles did not take into account that render
services are shared between multiple render session. Now the texture
to handle map is also shared between render sessions.
The latest clang compiler (at least the one in Xcode 9.4.1) warns about the register keyword and macro expansions using defined().
Since these warnings come from third party code, we can't address them directly in Blender. Silencing them via #pramgas will
at least keep the warnings during a build down to the ones that are relevant to Blender code.
There is one legit place in the code where memcpy was used as an
optimization trick. Was needed for older version of GCC, but now
it should be re-evaluated and checked if it still helps to have
that trick.
In other places it's somewhat lazy programming to zero out all
object members. That is absolutely unsafe, at the moment when
less trivial class is used as a member in that object things
will break.
Other cases were using memcpy into an object which comes from
an external library. We don't control that object, and we can
not guarantee it will always be safe for such memory tricks
and debugging bugs caused by such low level access is far fun.
Ideally we need to use more proper C++, but needs to be done with
big care, including benchmarks of each change, For now do
annoying but simple cast to void*.
This was needed when we accessed OSL closure memory after shader evaluation,
which could get overwritten by another shader evaluation. But all closures
are immediatley converted to ShaderClosure now, so no longer needed.
The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

Object coordinates can now be used in the displacement shader and will give
correct results, where as before bump mapping was calculated from the displace
positions and resulted in incorrect shading.
This works by evaluating the shader in two parts, first bump then surface, and
setting the shader state to match what it would be if the surface was
undisplaced for the bump shader evaluation. Currently only `P` is set as if
undisplaced, but other shader variables could be set as well, such as `I` or
`time`. Since these aren't set to anything meaningful for displacement I left
them out of this patch, we can decide what to do with them separately.

Adds a descriptor for attributes that can easily be passed around and extended
to contain more data. Will be used for attributes on subdivision meshes.

This commit adds a new distribution to the Glossy, Anisotropic and Glass BSDFs that implements the
multiple-scattering microfacet model described in the paper "Multiple-Scattering Microfacet BSDFs with the Smith Model".
Essentially, the improvement is that unlike classical GGX, which only models single scattering and assumes
the contribution of multiple bounces to be zero, this new model performs a random walk on the microsurface until
the ray leaves it again, which ensures perfect energy conservation.
In practise, this means that the "darkening problem" - GGX materials becoming darker with increasing
roughness - is solved in a physically correct and efficient way.
The downside of this model is that it has no (known) analytic expression for evalation. However, it can be
evaluated stochastically, and although the correct PDF isn't known either, the properties of MIS and the
balance heuristic guarantee an unbiased result at the cost of slightly higher noise.

While previous code was already compiling with OSL 1.6 it was using some symbols
which were considered deprecated in upstream.
This commit adds some ifdefs, but soon we'll get rid of all them rather soon
with the upcoming OIIO/OSL update.
This commit changes the way how we pass bounce information to the Light
Path node. Instead of manualy copying the bounces into ShaderData, we now
directly pass PathState. This reduces the arguments that we need to pass
around and also makes it easier to extend the feature.
This commit also exposes the Transmission Bounce Depth to the Light Path
node. It works similar to the Transparent Depth Output: Replace a
Transmission lightpath after X bounces with another shader, e.g a Diffuse
one. This can be used to avoid black surfaces, due to low amount of max
bounces.
Reviewed by Sergey and Brecht, thanks for some hlp with this.
I tested compilation and usage on CPU (SVM and OSL), CUDA, OpenCL Split
and Mega kernel. Hopefully this covers all devices. :)
So now the following OSL versions are supported (at least for compilation):
- 1.5 with closure alignment patch applied
- 1.6.8 release
- 1.7 development version from latest git
This inconsistency drove me totally crazy, it's really confusing
when it's inconsistent especially when you work on both Cycles and
Blender sides.
Shouldn;t cause merge PITA, it's whitespace changes only, Git should
be able to merge it nicely.
Issue was introduced in 01ee21f where i didn't notice *_setup()
function only doing partial initialization, and some of parameters
are expected to be initialized by callee function.
This was hitting only some setups, so tests with benchmark scenes
didn't unleash issues. Now it should all be fine.
This is to go to the 2.74 branch and we actually might re-AHOY.
This does not support staying fixed while the surface deforms, but for static
meshes it should match up with the surface texture coordinates. Implemented
as a matrix transform from objects space to mesh texture space.
Making this work for deforming surfaces would be quite complicated, you might
need something like harmonic coordinates as used in the mesh deform modifier,
probably will not be possible anytime soon.
This works pretty much as you would expect, overlapping volume objects gives
a more dense volume. What did change is that world volume shaders are now
active everywhere, they are no longer excluded inside objects.
This may not be desirable and we need to think of better control over this.
In some cases you clearly want it to happen, for example if you are rendering
a fire in a foggy environment. In other cases like the inside of a house you
may not want any fog, but it doesn't seem possible in general for the renderer
to automatically determine what is inside or outside of the house.
This is implemented using a simple fixed size array of shader/object ID pairs,
limited to max 15 overlapping objects. The closures from all shaders are put
into a single closure array, exactly the same as if an add shader was used to
combine them.
* Henyey-Greenstein scattering closure implementation.
* Rename transparent to absorption node and isotropic to scatter node.
* Volume density is folded into the closure weights.
* OSL support for volume closures and nodes.
* This commit has no user visible changes, there is no volume render code yet.
This is work by "storm", Stuart Broadfoot, Thomas Dinges and myself.
* Remove the compatible falloff SSS implementation. We shouldn't support two implementations in the long term, and 2.7x is a good release number do break some compatibility as well.
* Version patch added, so Files with Compatible falloff will automatically use Cubic now.
It was already mentioned in the manual, that Compatible is deprecated.

A new hair bsdf node, with two closure options, is added. These closures allow the generation of the reflective and transmission components of hair. The node allows control of the highlight colour, roughness and angular shift.
Llimitations include:
-No glint or fresnel adjustments.
-The 'offset' is un-used when triangle primitives are used.
