Render:
- New; support for dual CPU render (SDL thread)
Currently only works with alternating scanlines, but gives excellent
performance. For both normal render as unified implemented.
Note the "mutex" locks on z-transp buffer render and imbuf loads.
- This has been made possible by major cleanups in render code, especially
getting rid of globals (example Tin Tr Tg Tb Ta for textures) or struct
OSA or using Materials or Texture data to write to.
- Made normal render fully 4x32 floats too, and removed all old optimizes
with chars or shorts.
- Made normal render and unified render use same code for sky and halo
render, giving equal (and better) results for halo render. Old render
now also uses PostProcess options (brightness, mul, gamma)
- Added option ("FBuf") in F10 Output Panel, this keeps a 4x32 bits buffer
after render. Using PostProcess menu you will note an immediate re-
display of image too (32 bits RGBA)
- Added "Hue" and "Saturation" sliders to PostProcess options
- Render module is still not having a "nice" API, but amount of dependencies
went down a lot. Next todo: remove abusive "previewrender" code.
The last main global in Render (struct Render) now can be re-used for fully
controlling a render, to allow multiple "instances" of render to open.
- Renderwindow now displays a smal bar on top with the stats, and keeps the
stats after render too. Including "spare" page support.
Not only easier visible that way, but also to remove the awkward code that
was drawing stats in the Info header (extreme slow on some ATIs too)
- Cleaned up blendef.h and BKE_utildefines.h, these two had overlapping
defines.
- I might have forgotten stuff... and will write a nice doc on the architecture!
Blender hemilight shadow flag now ignored (reported by varuag).
Texture axes were not exported for procedural textures.
Duplicate armatures were not handled correctly (reported by richie).
Triangle uv-coord splitting (reported by anael, richie & Alvaro).
Additions:
Material 'TexFace' mode now works too, as in Blender it functions as an extra
first texture channel, replacing the base color.
The new noise functions for procedural textures are now supported in yafray,
but is not quite completed yet, still undergoing changes.
(needs yafray from cvs).
The 'power' button has been renamed to 'EmitPwr', since it controls background,
arealight (including lamp with radius) & material emit power.
This button can now be used with the 'SkyDome' method as well to control
background lighting.
To control indirect lighting power, a button called 'GI pwr' has been added,
only use this when really necessary, first try modifying 'EmitPwr' instead.
Removed:
The 'gradient' button. This includes the python code to set
this parameter as well.
- move static declarations and data definitions out of headers.
the BGL module still need cleaning.
- move declarations out of modules.h and into appropriate .h files.
modules.h still exists as a container for the few modules that
need to #include almost everything.
- all files now have a $Id tag and have been formatted by indent
there are no changes to executable code.
pre-commit versions are tagged with bpy-cleanup-pre-20041007
for the sake of paranoia.
Run everything thru indent to cleanup spaces vs tabs.
Clean up some of the comments by hand.
BGL.c was not touched due to all that macro wackyness.
There are no functional changes to the code.
Pre-indent versions of source are tagged with
tag bpy-cleanup-20040925 , just in case.
- added some constants for the rendering module to blender module
- moved rendering functions from scene to scene.render
- rendering functions called from renderData struct instead of from scene directly
- getRenderingContext() returns rendering data struct
- deprecation of old scene functions
- some formatting/documentation of code
