This change affects CUDA GPUs not connected to a display or connected to a
display but supporting compute preemption so that the display does not
freeze. I couldn't find an official list, but compute preemption seems to be
only supported with GTX 1070+ and Linux (not GTX 1060- or Windows).
This helps improve small tile rendering performance further if there are
sufficient samples x number of pixels in a single tile to keep the GPU busy.
Best guess is that cuInit() somehow interferes with the AMD graphics driver
on Windows, and switching the initialization order to do OpenCL first seems
to solve the issue.
* Use common TextureInfo struct for all devices, except CUDA fermi.
* Move image sampling code to kernels/*/kernel_*_image.h files.
* Use arrays for data textures on Fermi too, so device_vector<Struct> works.
Instead of trying to be clever with swaps and lazy updating the weight
data, simply recalculate one single array. To improve performance, use
threading for that.
Two issues here:
- Checking table size to be non-zero is not a proper way to go here. This is
because we first resize the table and then fill it in. So it was possible that
non-initialized table was used.
Trickery with using temporary memory and then doing table.swap() might work,
but we can not guarantee that table size will be set after the data pointer.
- Mutex guard was useless, because every thread was using own mutex. Need to
make mutex guard static so all threads are using same mutex.
The issue was caused by light sample being evaluated to nan at some point.
This is root of the cause which is to be fixed, but is very hard to trace down
especially via ssh (the issue only happens on AVX2 release build). Will give it
a closer look when back to my AVX2 machine.
For until then this is a good check to have anyway, it corresponds to what's
happening in regular radiance sum.
Camera clipping was left to default values, which won't work well for
very large (or small) objects. Now recompute valid clipping start/end
based on boundingbox of rendered data, and final location of camera.
This makes brush influence into a tube instead of a sphere.
It can be used along the outline of a mesh to adjust it's silhouette.
Note that all this takes advantage of changes from vertex paint,
from testing this seems useful so exposing from the brush options.
This behavior makes more sense for sculpt, less so for painting.
Restores non PBVH behavior, adding `BKE_pbvh_find_nearest_to_ray` -
similar to ray-cast except it finds the closest point on the surface.
