Some platforms are having hard time using this linker so added an option
to not use it. The options is an advanced one and enabled by default so
should not cause any changes for current users.
Request from Hjalti Hjalmarsson for the animation work.
Basically a common part of the workflow of animation is to change the pose, scrub back and forth a few times and roll back the changes when unsatisfied.
However if you go back and forth too many times the UNDO stack would be full, and it would not be possible to bring back the previous pose.
I'm leaving clip_editor change frames as it is for now. But we can
probably change the behaviour there as well.
Issue here was that py API code was keeping references (pointers) to the
liniked data-blocks, which can actually be duplicated and then deleted
during the 'make local' process...
Would have like to find a better way than passing optional GHash to get
the oldid->newid mapping, but could not think of a better idea.
Radial append/remove had swapped args and *slightly* different behavior.
- bmesh_radial_append(edge, loop)
- bmesh_radial_loop_remove(loop, edge)
Match logic for append/remove,
Logic for the one case where the edge needs to be left untouched
has been moved to: `bmesh_radial_loop_unlink`.
This is yet another debug option that allows to render an arbitrary
simulation field by using a color ramp to inspect its voxel values.
Note that when using this, fire rendering is turned off.

This allows to save a memory copy, which will be particularly useful for network rendering.

In scenes with many lights, some of them might have a very small contribution to some pixels, but the shadow rays are traced anyways.
To avoid that, this patch adds probabilistic termination to light samples - if the contribution before checking for shadowing is below a user-defined threshold, the sample will be discarded with probability (1 - (contribution / threshold)) and otherwise kept, but weighted more to remain unbiased.
This is the same approach that's also used in path termination based on length.
Note that the rendering remains unbiased with this option, it just adds a bit of noise - but if the setting is used moderately, the speedup gained easily outweighs the additional noise.

This option allows to create a smoother transition between Bricks and Mortar - 0 applies no smoothing, and 1 smooths across the whole mortar width.
Mainly useful for displacement textures.
The new default value for the smoothing option is 0.1 to give some smoothing that helps with antialiasing, but existing nodes are loaded with smoothing 0 to preserve compatibility.

When using the Normal output of the Texture Coordinate node on Point and Spot lamps, the coordinates now depend on the rotation of the lamp.
On Area lamps, the Parametric output of the Geometry node now returns UV coordinates on the area lamp.
Credit for the Area lamp part goes to Stefan Werner (from D1995).
constraints.
This avoids traversing the archive everytime object data is needed and
gives an overall consistent ~2x speedup here with files containing
between 136 and 500 Alembic objects. Also this somewhat nicely de-
duplicates code between data creation (upon import) and data streaming
(modifiers and constraints).
The only worying part is what happens when a CacheFile is deleted and/or
has its path changed. For now, we traverse the whole scene and for each
object using the CacheFile we free the pointer and NULL-ify it (see
BKE_cachefile_clean), but at some point this should be re-considered and
make use of the dependency graph.
The 'local' layers were not correctly set when redoing 'add object'
addons using object_utils.py helper (we always want to restore layers
from view in local view, even if we set 'real' layers from operator
afterwards).
Issue was happening when removal of custom icons was done while they
were still being rendered by preview job.
Now add a 'deffered deletion' system, to prevent main thread to delete
preview image until loading thread is done with them.
Note that ideally, calling `ED_preview_kill_jobs()` on custom icon
removal would have been simpler, but we don't have easy access to
context here...
Oh man, is it a compiler bug? Is it something we do stupid?
For now more crap to prevent crashes. During the conference will talk to
Maxyn about how can we troubleshoot such weird issues.
Basically don't use rcp() in areas which seems to be critical after
second look. Also disabled some multiplication operators, not sure
yet why they might be a problem.
Tomorrow will be setting up a full test with all cases which were
buggy in our farm to see if this fix is complete.
There is some precision issues for big magnitude coordinates which started
to give weird behavior of release builds. Some weird memory usage in BVH
which is tricky to nail down because only happens in release builds and GDB
reports all variables as optimized out when trying to use RelWithDebInfo.
There are two things in this commit:
- Attempt to make vectorized code closer to original one, hoping that it'll
eliminate precision issue.
This seems to work for transform_point().
- Similar trick did not work for transform_direction() even tho absolute
error here is much smaller. For now disabled that function, need a more
careful look here.
Rewrite the current range-tree API used by dyn-topo undo
to avoid inefficiencies from stdc++'s set use.
- every call to `take_any` (called for all verts & faces)
removed and added to the set.
- further range adjustment also took 2x btree edits.
This patch inlines a btree which is modified in-place,
so common resizing operations don't need to perform a remove & insert.
Ranges are stored in a list so `take_any` can access the first item
without a btree lookup.
Since range-tree isn't a bottleneck in sculpting, this only gives minor speedups.
Measured approx ~15% overall faster calculation for sculpting,
although this number time doesn't include GPU updates and depends on how
much edits fragment the range-tree.
Existing method was fine for basic polygons but didn't scale well
because its was checking all coordinates for every y-pixel.
Heres an optimized version.
Basic logic remains the same this just maintains an ordered list of intersections,
tracking in-out points, to avoid re-computing every row,
this means sorting is only done once when out of order segments are found,
the segments only need to be re-ordered if they cross each other.
Speedup isn't linear, test with full-screen complex lasso gave 11x speedup.
Do this for the new dependency graph: was missing handle of OB_UPDATE_TIME in tag update.
Hopefully it's all correct still.
Old dependency graph needs work, but i'm tempting to call it unsupported and move on
to 2.8 branch.
