Gives few percent of memory improvement for regular feature set kernel
and could give significant memory improvement for Experimental kernel.
It could also give some degree of performance improvement, but this I
didn't really measure reliably yet.
Code is ifdef-ed for now, since it's only working on Linux and requires
CUDA toolkit to be installed (other platform only use precompiled
kernels).
This is just an experiment for now and a base for the proper feature
support in the future (with runtime compilation using CUDA 7?).
This just replaces internal argument `experimental` with `requested_features`
making it possible to access particular requested settings when building
kernels.
Technically this was more of a feature request, but now the Alt-I operator will
only remove keyframes related to selected bones in Pose Mode. In Object Mode,
it will continue to operate on all keyframes of the object.
This change makes this operator more meaningful when animating in the 3D view.
Face paths including triangle-fans would often be avoided because
the face center and edge would 'zig-zag'.
Resolve using wighted face center and picking an edge-point between face centers.
Basically we can not use sharp closure as a substitude when filter glossy is
used. This is because we can not blur sharp reflection/refraction.
This is quite quick and not really clean implementation. Not really happy
with manual handling of original settings, but this is as good as we can do
in the quick patch. It's a good acknowledgment and we now can re-consider
some aspects of graph simplification to make such cases more natively
supported.
P.S. This failure would have been shown by our regression tests, so please,
bother a bit to run Cycles's test sweep before doing such optimizations.
Issues was again the ugly hack of swapping last generated tri with original face
we use in BMesh triangulate code - here it could lead in some rare case to have
invalid face pointer in doubles list.
In case two neighbor buttons are very small, their total width (or height) can remain below
max authorized delta, and hence wrong side could be detected as 'common side' for the pair.
This is now fixed by checking both opposite sides at once.
Also, we expect buttons to have some width and height to be considered alignable now!
Took me two days to sort that out, grrrr!
Existing collapse functions were strict regarding the number of verts sharing an edge.
BM_edge_collapse allows any edge to be passed in without first having to manipulate geometry.
This commit adds the Blackman-Harris windows function as a pixel filter to Cycles. On some cases, such as wireframes or high-frequency textures,
Blackman-Harris can give subtle but noticable improvements over the Gaussian window.
Also, the gaussian window was truncated too early, which degraded quality a bit, therefore the evaluation region is now three times as wide.
To avoid artifacts caused by the wider curve, the filter table size is increased to 1024.

We fallback to Sharp closures for Glossy, Glass and Refraction nodes now, in case the Roughness input is disconnected and 0 (< 1e-4f to be exact).
This way we gain a few percentages of performance, in case the user did not manually set the closure type to "Sharp" in the UI.
Sharp will probably be removed from the UI as a followup, not needed anymore with this internal optimization.
Original idea by Lukas Stockner(Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1439), code implementation by myself.
This performs a range search on the kdtree, running a callback instead of allocating an array.
Allows the caller to perform extra checks in the case of overlap,
avoids redundant array allocations, since caller can handle matches.
Another fix for a slightly different case from the original report, to give better orientation.
Vertex normals influence on the orientation is now scaled by the alignment with the cut direction.
Also use face normal instead of loop normal which can be unreliable when the corners edges are co-linear.
