* Remove the manual OSA method but rather pass on derivatives to the
textures. This means that at the moment e.g. the bricks node is not
antialiased, but that image textures are now using mipmaps. Doing
oversampling on the whole nodetree is convenient but it is really
the individual textures that can do filtering best and quickest.
* Image textures in a texture node tree were not color corrected and
did not support 2d mapping, now it's passing along shadeinput to
make this possible. Would like to avoid this but not sure how.
* Fix preview not filling in all pixels when scaling or rotating in
the texture nodes.
Implementation note: this was done by giving each Render a slot number,
and for every slot a new Render will be created. Not sure if this is
ideal, but it ensures that all passes, render info, etc are separate so
you can also compare render layers and passes, in 2.4x only whatever it
was currently displaying was backed up.
* Bugfix, rasterization was shifted half a pixel.
* Remove scaling of bias by render size, there is something to be
said for doing to compensate for lower shadow buffer xy resolution,
however the z-resolution does not change and this seems to have a
larger effect.
* Remove clamping of filter size by soft factor. Now it is clamped to
1 pixel instead to ensure there is some AA. Why this was done this
way is not clear to me, however on decreasing shadow buffer resolution
this would change the softness by increasing the filter size.
Disables save buffers and full sample when render border is turned on (render doesn't work otherwise because save buffers doesn't support border rendering).
- triangulating non planer quads is needed to resolve some artifacts however this also ends up triangulating most faces in - Suzzane subsurf level 4 for eg.
this check could be tuned for better performance but for now skipping it is useful for test renders.
- added an option to BLI_convertstringframe and BLI_convertstringframe_range to add digits if not found.
- removed BLI_convertstringframe where its obviously not needed - such as loading movies and sounds.
OpenCollada new version (721) lib has additional lib files to link with.
Added BF_RAY_OPTIMIZATION option in CMake (as the one in scons) for building SIMD optimized ray tracing code.
Ambient occlusion: multiplied with direct lighting by default, add
is also still available and more blending methods might be added if
they are useful. This is fundamentally a non physical effect.
Environment lighting: always added as you would expect (though you can
subtract by specifying negative energy). This can be just white or take
colors or textures from the world.
Indirect lighting: only supported for AAO at the moment (and is still
too approximate), and also is always added. A factor is available to
specify how much is added, though value 1.0 is correct.
Also:
* Material ambient value now defaults to 1.0.
* Added Environment, Indirect and Emit pass.
* "Both" blending method is no longer available.
* Attenuation, sampling parameters are still shared, some could be split
up, though if they are different this would affect performance.
* Better (and windows enabled) OpenMP handling (> 2x-5x speed)
* More Volumetric Texture mapping options (heat, etc) <-- Matt if that's not to your liking, just revert that part, it's separate anyway
* Initial velocity taken from particle settings (no more slow starting)
* Option to select compression method (there seem to be a bug in my high compression usage, at least it's been reported to result in exploding smoke - better use low compression for the time being)
It's been tested since a while but as usual please report any (new!) bugs. ;-)
do this on drawing instead since SCREEN_OT_animation_step isnt calling the notifier (assume this is to be more efficient?). this isnt slow so is ok to do on drawing.
rename BKE_image_user_calc_imanr to BKE_image_user_calc_frame
Was only updating the animation system for the render process - if scene render was skipped
(as is the case for comp trees without renderlayer nodes) then the animation system wouldn't
update.
Added in an update here, Aligorith, maybe you'd like to doublecheck.
- scene.render_data.frame_path(frame=num), returns the output path for rending images of video.
- scene.render_data.file_extension, readonly attribute, gives the extension ".jpg", ".mov" etc
- player support was guessing names, use the above functions to get the actual names used, accounting for #'s replacing numbers.
This works with operator properties - if you pass the name of a scene and renderlayer to
the screen.render operator, it will render that layer as a single layer re-render.
Also: Changed 'Spread' value to be proportional to the light cache voxel grid
(i.e. 0.5 spreads half the width of the grid), so that it's independent of light
cache resolution. This means that results should be similar as you increase/
decrease resolution.
