- move some larger vars into a nested scope.
- replace memset with zero initializer.
- rempace VECCOPY macros with copy_v3v3
- change function args to give the float array length.
- converting nurbs to mesh was casting the material to unsigned char.
- subsurf was casting to char, then int -> short in a loop.
- have material functions take & return shorts.
- define __BIG_ENDIAN__ or __LITTLE_ENDIAN__ with cmake & scons.
- ENDIAN_ORDER is now a define rather than a global short.
- replace checks like this with single ifdef: #if defined(__sgi) || defined (__sparc) || defined (__sparc__) || defined (__PPC__) || defined (__ppc__) || defined (__hppa__) || defined (__BIG_ENDIAN__)
- remove BKE_endian.h which isn't used
Volume pre-caching altered shared data simultaneously in multiple threads, causing invalid scattering results when "Asymmetry" value was used. The view vector is now passed as a function argument.
- use 'const float *' and array size in some function declarations.
- replace macros for BLI_math functions INPF, VECCOPY, VECADD etc.
- remove unused VertRen.clip struct member.
- remove static squared_dist() from 2 files, replace with BLI_math function len_squared_v3v3().
- use vertex arrays for drawing clipping background in the 3D viewport.
This would previously break because begin/end functions for each tree type still have some checks of the ntree->execdata pointer in them, despite the intended use of execdata instances instead of trees themselves for execution data storage. This is an artifact of the old execution system that required these checks to be made in the functions to avoid multiple execution of top-level trees. Now these functions take an additional argument, so group nodes can prevent them from setting and checking the nodetree->execdata pointers.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.

--- text from the patch.
Recently Campbell Barton added callback functionality for Python's usage, but this only includes pre- and post-render callbacks. There are no callbacks for the duration of the render. This patch adds the few lines required for executing a callback while Blender Render is working. The callback resides in the rendering pipeline stats function, so whenever statistics are printed, the callback is executed. This functionality is required if one wants to:
1) Observe what is happening while Blender is rendering via the command line
2) Add custom statistics that Blender prints while the renderer works
3) The user wants to continue executing his Python script without the code halting at bpy.ops.render.render()
Personally I'm currently using this for printing out more detailed progress reports at Renderfarm.fi (such as CPU time, time spent rendering, total progress in regards to the entire rendering process). Tested on Windows, Linux and OS X.
Example on how to use the callback:
def statscall(context): print("Thanks for calling!")
bpy.app.handlers.render_stats.append(statscall)
bpy.ops.render.render(animation=False, write_still=True)
from Tom Edwards (artfunkel), with minor edits.
This patch makes the following improvements to environment map scripting:
* Adds a "is_valid" RNA property to envmaps. True if the map is ready for use, False if it needs rendering.
* Adds a "clear" RNA function to envmaps. Deletes any envmap image data.
* Adds a "save" RNA function to envmaps. Writes the envmap to disc with a configurable layout. (Defaults to the current hard-coded layout.)
* Updates bpy.ops.texture.envmap_save with configurable layout support as above.
These changes, particularly configurable layouts, make exporting envmaps to other software much easier.
Change OURPLATFORM from "linux<major_version>" to simple "linux".
Since new policy for linux kernel versions that major version in
platform doesn't make much sense for building rules so the same
rules could be used for both of linux2 and linux3 now/
Tested on both of linux2 and linux3 systems.
This commit fixes very noticeable seams caused by margins
calculated incorrectly. This commit changes way margin is
calculated in and makes textures really seamless.
Also margin limited to 32 isn't good now -- artists are baking
really large textures nowadays so margin is now limited to 64px.
Thank you, Morten!
This fixes bug #26764 and several others like it, where modifier
properties (and others, but most visibly modifiers) would not do
anything when animated or driven, as modifier properties require the
RNA update calls to tag the modifiers to get recalculated.
While just adding a call to RNA_property_update() could have gotten
this working (as per the Campbell's patch attached in the report, and
also my own attempt #25881). However, on production rigs, the
performance cost of this is untenatable (on my own tests, without
these updates, I was getting ~5fps on such a rig, but only 0.9fps or
possibly even worse with the updates added).
Hence, this commit adds a property-update caching system to the RNA
level, which aims to reduce to the number of times that the update
functions end up needing to get called.
While this is much faster than without the caching, I also added an
optimisation for pose bones (which are numerous in production rigs) so
that their property updates are skipped, since they are useless to the
animsys (they only tag the depsgraph for updating). This gets things
moving at a more acceptable framerate.
