- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
Currently only works correct with single float output, RGBA and vector are not
supported so if one need to use this passes he'll need to wait a bit still.
It is coming, don't worry.
This commit implements point density texture for Cycles shading nodes.
It's done via creating voxel texture at shader compilation time, Not
totally memory efficient, but avoids adding sampling code to kernel
(which keeps render time as low as possible), In the future this will
be compensated by using OpenVDB for more efficient storage of sparse
volume data.
Sampling of the voxel texture is happening at blender side and the
same code is used as for Blender Internal's renderer.
This texture is controlled by only object, particle system and radius.
Linear falloff is used and there's no turbulence. This is because
falloff is expected to happen using Curve Mapping node. Turbulence
will be done as a distortion on the input coordinate. It's already
possible to fake it using nose textures and in the future we can add
more proper turbulence distortion node, which then could also be used
for 2D texture mapping.
Particle color support is done by Lukas, thanks!

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)

* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

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).
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.
* 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!
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.

This is mine and Keir's holiday code project :)
* First step towards a new vector transform node, to convert Points/Vectors between World/Object/Camera space.
This only contains the Blender UI, RNA... code, no Cycles integration yet.
* 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.
Example render:

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.
well as I would like, but it works, just add a subsurface scattering node and
you can use it like any other BSDF.
It is using fully raytraced sampling compatible with progressive rendering
and other more advanced rendering algorithms we might used in the future, and
it uses no extra memory so it's suitable for complex scenes.
Disadvantage is that it can be quite noisy and slow. Two limitations that will
be solved are that it does not work with bump mapping yet, and that the falloff
function used is a simple cubic function, it's not using the real BSSRDF
falloff function yet.
The node has a color input, along with a scattering radius for each RGB color
channel along with an overall scale factor for the radii.
There is also no GPU support yet, will test if I can get that working later.

PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.

Some notes:
- Removed all code which was from inside ifdef WITH_COMPOSITOR_LEGACY
- Removed some functions which were used by old compositor only but
weren't ported to new color management
- Removed WITH_COMPOSITOR_LEGACY from build systems
- node_composite_util.h was in fatc used by compo nodes specification
files, so added it back to cmake.
Could be cleaned up by moving header files to files where they're
actually needed but would consider this is a separate task.
- Should be no functional changes!
Patch [#33445] - Experimental Cycles Hair Rendering (CPU only)
This patch allows hair data to be exported to cycles and introduces a new line segment primitive to render with.
The UI appears under the particle tab and there is a new hair info node available.
It is only available under the experimental feature set and for cpu rendering.
* MEM_CacheLimitier - Size type to int conversion, should be safe for now (doing my best Bill Gates 640k impression)
* OpenNL CMakeLists.txt - MSVC and GCC have slightly different ways to remove definitions (DEBUG) without the compiler complaining
* BLI_math inlines - The include guard name and inline option macro name should be different. Suppressed warning about not exporting any symbols from inline math library
* BLI string / utf8 - Fixed some inconsistencies between declarations and definitions
* nodes - node_composite_util is apparently not used unless you enable the legacy compositor, so it should not be compiled in that case.
Leaving out changes to BLI_fileops for now, need to do more testing.
this node allows for more control for normalization of the mapped input range.
Made during BlenderPRO 2012 - Brasilia, Brazil :)
Idea and testing: Daniel Salazar
Implementation: yours truly
Reviewed by Lukas Toenne and Sergey Sharybin
* Shader script node added, which stores either a link to a text datablock or
file on disk, and has functions to add and remove sockets.
* Callback RenderEngine.update_script_node(self, node) added for render engines
to compile the shader and update the node with new sockets.
Thanks to Thomas, Lukas and Dalai for the implementation.
This makes it possible to create pixelized scale in the Tile compositor.
Just append the node in front of a scale node or where you want the pixelization to take place.
There were some bugs on this subject, but they used the work around to add a blur size of 0 in the place where they need the pixelization.
- move object_iterators.c --> view3d_iterators. (ED_object.h had to include ED_view3d.h which isn't so nice)
- move projection functions from view3d_view.c --> view3d_project.c (view3d_view was becoming a mishmash of utility functions and operators).
- some some cmake includes as system-includes.
Each BSDF node now has a Normal input, which can be used to set a custom normal
for the BSDF, for example if you want to have only bump on one of the layers in
a multilayer material.
The Bump node can be used to generate a normal from a scalar value, the same as
what happens when you connect a scalar value to the displacement output.
Documentation has been updated with the latest changes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes
Patch by Agustin Benavidez, some implementation tweaks by me.
It's using the Ward BSDF currently, which has some energy loss so might be a bit
dark. More/better BSDF options can be implemented later.
Patch by Mike Farnsworth, some modifications by me. Currently it's not possible yet
to set a custom tangent, that will follow as part of per-bsdf normals patch.
Regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to save memory
during render and cache render results.

Merge keying node from tomato branch into trunk.
It was considered stable and helpful by Mango team and it'll help
studio pipeline, because nodes would stop disappearing when opening
files in current trunk.
Full information about keying nodes could be found there:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Keying
Merge Keying Screen node developed in tomato branch into trunk.
This node is aimed to make dealing with non-even greenscreens better
by generating gradiented image which could be used a input for keyer
nodes.
Based on building voronoi diagram using motion tracking markers as
sites position and average pattern color as color for that site.
Pretty straignforward node, some documentation is there
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Keying#Screen_color
The particle data is stored in a separate texture if any of the dupli objects uses particle info nodes in shaders. To map dupli objects onto particles the store an additional particle_index value, which is different from the simple dupli object index (only visible particles, also works for particle dupli groups mode).
Some simple use cases on the code.blender.org blog:
http://code.blender.org/index.php/2012/05/particle-info-node/
First node is called Keying Screen (Add -> Matte -> Keying Screen) and it's
aimed to resolve issues with gradients on green screens by producing image
with gradient which is later used as an input for screen color in keying nodes.
This node gets motion tracks from given movie clip and trackign object and uses
them to define color and position of points of gradient: for position marker's
position on current frame is sued, for color average color of pattern area is
used.
Gradient is calculating in the following way:
- On first step voronoi diagram is creating for given tracks.
- On second step triangulation of this diagram happens by connecting sites
to edges which defines area this site belongs to.
- On third step gradient filling of this triangles happens. One of triangle
vertices is colored with average track color, two rest vertoces are colored
with average color between two neighbor sites. Current pixel's color in
triangle is calculating as linear combination of vertices colors and
barycentric coordinates of this pixel.
This node is implemented for both tile and legacy compositor systems.
Second node is basically a combination of several existing nodes to make keying
more straighforward and reduce spagetti mess in the compositor, but it also
ships some fresh approaches calculating matte which seems to be working better
for not actually green screens.
This node supports:
- Chroma preblur
- Dispilling
- Clip white/black
- Dilate/Erode
- Matte post blur
This node doesn't support chroma pre-blur for legacy compositor (yet).
There're still lots of stuff to be improved here, but this nodes night already
be used i think.
Some details might be found on this wiki page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Keying
This patch also contains some currently unused code from color math module, but
it was used for tests and might be used for tests in the future. Think it's ok
to have it in branch at least.
