Issue here is that if there's a texture in the tree, chances are it has
already been set as active texture so groups are never traversed.
Now changed logic so that if a group node is active, its own active
texture takes priority over the parent group active texture.
* Anisotropic BSDF now supports GGX and Beckmann distributions, Ward has been
removed because other distributions are superior.
* GGX is now the default distribution for all glossy and anisotropic nodes,
since it looks good, has low noise and is fast to evaluate.
* Ashikhmin-Shirley is now available in the Glossy BSDF.
This can for example be useful if you want to manually terminate the path at
some point and use a color other than black.

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.

It would include/exclude shadow depending on the pass being disabled/enabled,
but that should have no influence on the combined render result. Now it always
includes shadow.
Blender Internal shader nodes.
All nodes now use the `nodestack_get_vec` function to convert whatever
input values are connected to the desired type, instead of using the
stack values directly regardless of what they contain.
Note that this might break old node setups that have been adapted to the
faulty behavior, but as discussed in the bug report the 2.70 version is
the right time to fix this.
BI.
The shaderfrom setting in the node editor only makes sense for "new"
shading nodes (cycles), otherwise it should be ignored and default to
SNODE_SHADER_OBJECT.
* 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.
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!
Revert 0c7d2de382. The "Camera Data" node actually gives the location
of the point in camera coordinate system. To obtain actual camera data,
we can use "Geometry" node instead.
Also modify the "Geometry" node, to produce correct view vector output
in orthographic GLSL preview.
For materials using AO pass, this makes the material preview and the GLSL
preview more accurate, but shouldn't affect final rendering in most cases
because we usually enable AO when using the AO pass in node tree.
Thanks to Brecht for code review.
* Add a "Normal" Input to the Fresnel node.
* Fix for the Fresnel GLSL code (normalize the Incoming vector).
Patch #37384 by Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) , thanks!
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.
* Keep the Mapping node default type as Point for now, instead of Texture. The
latter is a better default, but this is breaking API compatibility and it's
too close to release to expect addons to be fixed in time.
* Vector Transform and Mapping nodes had properties with name "type" to set the
type of vector, but this conflicts with the node type property, so renamed to
vector_type now.
scale and rotation in mapping node, there would be shearing, and the only way
to avoid that was to add 2 mapping nodes. This is because to transform the
texture, the inverse transform needs to be done on the texture coordinate
Now the mapping node has Texture/Point/Vector/Normal types to transform the
vector for a particular purpose. Point is the existing behavior, Texture is
the new default that behaves more like you might expect.
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.
give a result more similar to the Compatible falloff option. The scale is x2
though to keep the perceived scatter radius roughly the same while changing the
sharpness. Difference with compatible will be mainly on non-flat geometry.
* Added a new sky model by Hosek and Wilkie: "An Analytic Model for Full Spectral Sky-Dome Radiance" http://cgg.mff.cuni.cz/projects/SkylightModelling/
Example render:
http://archive.dingto.org/2013/blender/code/new_sky_model.png
Documentation:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Textures#Sky_Texture
Details:
* User can choose between the older Preetham and the new Hosek / Wilkie model via a dropdown. For older files, backwards compatibility is preserved. When we add a new Sky texture, it defaults to the new model though.
* For the new model, you can specify the ground albedo (see documentation for details).
* Turbidity now has a UI soft range between 1 and 10, higher values (up to 30) are still possible, but can result in weird colors or black.
* Removed the limitation of 1 sky texture per SVM stack. (Patch by Lukas Tönne, thanks!)
Thanks to Brecht for code review and some help!
This is part of my GSoC 2013 project, SVN merge of r59214, r59220, r59251 and r59601.
New features:
* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders#Subsurface_Scattering
Work in progress for feedback:
Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.
This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.

* Replaced the Preetham model with the newer Hosek / Wilkie model:
"An Analytic Model for Full Spectral Sky-Dome Radiance" http://cgg.mff.cuni.cz/projects/SkylightModelling/
* We use the sample code data, which comes with the paper, but removed some unnecessary parts, we only need the xyz version.
* New "Albedo" UI paraemeter, to control the ground albedo (between 0 and 1).
* Works with SVM only atm (CPU and CUDA).

ToDo / Open Questions:
* OSL still uses the old model, will be done later. In the meantime it's useful to compare the two models this way.
* The new model needs a much weaker Strength value (0.01), otherwise it's white. Can this be fixed?
* Code cleanup.
entered explicitly, bypassing the ui limit.
NOTE: this only applies to newly added nodes. For legacy reasons the limit values are stored directly in each socket, so changing them for existing nodes would require a do_versions, seems unnecessary
for such a minor change.
