b67b1c8564 Fix #30086: cycles background render printing same status text twice. 2012-02-07 17:22:47 +00:00
803286dde8 Cycles: render passes for CUDA cards with compute model >= 2.x. 2012-01-26 19:07:01 +00:00
f8bddbd347 Cycles: fix issues rendering second render layer passes, and avoid unnecessary
clear of buffer.

f99343d3b8 Cycles: Render Passes
Currently supported passes:
* Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment,
  Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color

Not supported yet:
* UV, Vector, Mist

Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow,
also for environment importance sampling.

d7932ceea8 Cycles: multi GPU rendering support.
The rendering device is now set in User Preferences > System, where you can
choose between OpenCL/CUDA and devices. Per scene you can then still choose
to use CPU or GPU rendering.

Load balancing still needs to be improved, now it just splits the entire
render in two, that will be done in a separate commit.

47d9c6689b Cycles: show elapsed time for F12/background render. 2012-01-09 16:57:46 +00:00
49bc284d10 Fix #29760: cycles border render issue on 32 bit linux. 2012-01-05 22:41:46 +00:00
c287a09b40 Cycles: support for multiple render layers. It currently renders each layer
entirely before moving on to the next.

72d2d05770 Cycles: border rendering support, includes some refactoring in how pixels are
accessed on devices.

a620ec61ec Cycles: always use static bvh for non-viewport render. 2011-11-04 15:46:15 +00:00
bb379c06e9 Cycles: progress printing in background mode, print finished at the end and
avoid duplicate prints.

66b1dfae89 Cycles: tweaks to properties and nodes
* Passes renamed to samples
* Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation
* Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction
* Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed
* Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node
* Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights

There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not
perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.

be0aef2ef2 Cycles: pause button to interrupt viewport renders, in the 3d view header. 2011-08-29 16:54:13 +00:00
bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

bd38aa51ad Cycles: fix crash in 3d view status text display. 2011-08-23 12:20:11 +00:00
9ccc60ed8c Cycles:
* Update progress bar during render (patch by Thomas)
* Show status/pass/time during render in 3d view

f7b9c85871 Cycles: fix some invalid memory access problems found by running the windows build in debug mode. 2011-08-21 10:32:15 +00:00
31f44d8142 Cycles: fix color difference between render / 3d view with color management disabled. 2011-05-09 09:03:08 +00:00
da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/
* Sobol direction vectors from:
http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/
* Film response functions from:
