This allows adding a "fake" sun beam effect, simulating crepuscular rays
from light being scattered in a medium like the atmosphere or deep water.
Such effects can be created also by renderers using volumetric lighting,
but the compositor feature is a lot cheaper and is independent from 3D
rendering. This makes it ideally suited for motion graphics.
The implementation uses am optimized accumulation method for gathering
color values along a line segment. The inner buffer loop uses fixed
offset increments to avoid unnecessary multiplications and avoids
variables by using compile-time specialization (see inline comments
for further details).
If the active image node contributes to the final material shader
(meaning it's either directly or indirectly connected to an Output Node)
the user will receive an alert about circular dependency.
Similar to what we do for Blender internal the baking will still happen,
but the user will receive the alert which should prevent the image
saving to happen if the result was not intentional.

This was suggested by Christopher Barrett (terrachild). Corner pin is a common feature in compositing.
The corners for the plane warping can be defined by using vector node inputs to allow using perspective plane transformations without having to go via the MovieClip editor tracking data.
Uses the same math as the PlaneTrack node, but without the link to MovieClip and Object.
{F78199}
The code for PlaneTrack operations has been restructured a bit to share it with the CornerPin node.
* PlaneDistortCommonOperation.h/.cpp: Shared generic code for warping images based on 4 plane corners and a perspective matrix generated from these. Contains operation base classes for both the WarpImage and Mask operations.
* PlaneTrackOperation.h/.cpp: Current plane track node operations, based on the common code above. These add pointers to MovieClip and Object which define the track data from wich to read the corners.
* PlaneCornerPinOperation.h/.cpp: New corner pin variant, using explicit input sockets for the plane corners.
One downside of the current compositor design is that there is no concept of invariables (constants) that don't vary over the image space. This has already been an issue for Blur nodes (size input is usually constant except when "variable size" is enabled) and a few others. For the corner pin node it is necessary that the corner input sockets are also invariant. They have to be evaluated for each tile now, otherwise the data is not available. This in turn makes it necessary to make the operation "complex" and request full input buffers, which adds unnecessary overhead.
Implements a more flexible internal connect function for standard nodes
(compositor, shader, texture). Allow feasible datatype connections by
priority.
The priorities for common datatypes in compositor, shader and texture
nodes are encoded in a simple function. Certain impossible connections
(e.g. color -> cycles shader) are excluded by giving them -1 priority.
Priority overrides link status: If a higher priority input can be found,
this will be used regardless of link status. Link status only comes into
play for inputs with same priority.

As discussed in T38340 the solution is to use the current scene from
context whenever feasible.
Composite does not use node->id at all now, the scene which owns the
compositing node tree is retrieved from context instead.
Defocus node->id is made editable by the user. By default it is not set,
which also will make it use the contextual scene and camera info.
The node->id pointer in Defocus is **not** cleared in older blend files.
This is done for backward compatibility: the node will then behave as
before in untouched scenes.
File Output nodes also don't store scene in node->id. This is only needed
when creating a new node for initializing the file format.

* 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.
moved the hide preview logic to a method on bNodeTreeType. This way the node.c keeps clean, but logic could still be shared.
Implementing this per node, can lead to future errors.
For now this provides the following outputs:
- Color
- Light Vector
- Distance
- Shadow
- Visibility Factor
Note: Color output is multiplied by the lamp energy. Multiplication of
color*max(dot(light_vector,normal_vector),0)*shadow*visibility_factor
produces the exact same result as the Lambert shader.
Many thanks to Brecht for code review and discussion!
mimics the previous behavior when settings were shared by both modes (but not equivalent).
NOTE: Due to the use of additional sRGB conversion in the LGG mode the result is not entirely accurate, this should perhaps be fixed.
Settings for each mode are kept in their own color values nevertheless, this avoids potential problems with float precision.
become invalid because the render database is not immediately freed after the job finishes. To avoid access to dangling node pointers, store the function callback in the exec data itself. The node
pointer must not be accessed in the free function (wasn't used before either), these functions are purely for the execution data.
an input value. This is now a special case in the standard socket type drawing, but should eventually become a socket type of its own for the File Output node.
This aims to establish a common pattern for the various confusing draw callback function pointers in bNodeType:
draw_<purpose>_<nodetype>[_ex]
Currently there are 4 different types of draw callbacks:
* draw_nodetype, draw_nodetype_prepare: Main draw functions, allows specialized node drawing for things like frames and reroute nodes. Not exposed in the API.
* draw_buttons, draw_buttons_ex: Optional non-socket buttons, most commonly used callback. Extended version used in sidebar for verbose buttons that don't fit into a node.
* draw_backdrop: Draw elements in the backdrop (compositor only). Not exposed in the API.
* draw_input, draw_output: Specialized socket drawing for some nodes, only for OutputFile node. Should not be used any further and be removed at some point. Not exposed in the API.
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.
This commit includes all the changes made for plane tracker
in tomato branch.
Movie clip editor changes:
- Artist might create a plane track out of multiple point
tracks which belongs to the same track (minimum amount of
point tracks is 4, maximum is not actually limited).
When new plane track is added, it's getting "tracked"
across all point tracks, which makes it stick to the same
plane point tracks belong to.
- After plane track was added, it need to be manually adjusted
in a way it covers feature one might to mask/replace.
General transform tools (G, R, S) or sliding corners with
a mouse could be sued for this. Plane corner which
corresponds to left bottom image corner has got X/Y axis
on it (red is for X axis, green for Y).
- Re-adjusting plane corners makes plane to be "re-tracked"
for the frames sequence between current frame and next
and previous keyframes.
- Kayframes might be removed from the plane, using Shit-X
(Marker Delete) operator. However, currently manual
re-adjustment or "re-track" trigger is needed.
Compositor changes:
- Added new node called Plane Track Deform.
- User selects which plane track to use (for this he need
to select movie clip datablock, object and track names).
- Node gets an image input, which need to be warped into
the plane.
- Node outputs:
* Input image warped into the plane.
* Plane, rasterized to a mask.
Masking changes:
- Mask points might be parented to a plane track, which
makes this point deforming in a way as if it belongs
to the tracked plane.

* Render Passes are now available for Subsurface Scattering (Direct, Indirect and Color pass).
This is part of my GSoC project, SVN merge of r58587, r58828 and r58835.
* First step towards a new vector transform node, to convert Points/Vectors between World/Object/Camera space.

proposal was to add another special init hack for the viewer node->id, but rather would do it right and so moved all the special init hacks for constant ID backpointers (Scene for RenderLayer, Composite,
Defocus, FileOutput and MovieClip for MovieClip, MovieDistortion and Stabilization nodes). These are now part of the local init callbacks functions of the appropriate nodes, using the new initfunc_api
callback which takes a Context pointer, so they have access to Scene.
* Added a node to convert wavelength (in nanometer, from 380nm to 780nm) to RGB values. This can be useful to match real world colors easier.

ToDo:
* Move some functions into an util file, maybe a common util_color.h or so.
* Test GPU, unfortunately sm_21 doesn't work for me yet.
* Use unified node sizes, as already was done with compositor nodes. Only Mapping node uses a custom size. This way we don't have too small nodes on creation anymore.
* Don't show Script Category for Blender Internal nodes.
The drawinputfunc/drawoutputfunc callbacks in bNodeType are pretty much empty wrappers now and should be removed at some point. This per-node differentiation should rather be implemented as a specialized socket type if necessary. The only use case for this feature that remains is the file output node in compositor, which displays shortened file format info for each socket.
