2c1abe1f58 style cleanup: assignment & indentation. 2012-06-09 18:56:12 +00:00
049ab98469 Cycles: device code refactoring, no functional changes. 2012-01-04 18:06:32 +00:00
a06358570e Cycles Test App:
* Added some new integrator parameters to the xml reading. 
* Added ability to specify window width/height, if not set it uses film/camera width/height. 
* Added back the xml exporter script from cycles branch, with modifications to hock up into the UI. To use it, copy the script into 2.61/scripts/startup.

Note: This is intended for developers for now, but the standalone Cycles app has potential to be used as benchmark for example.

b65061e2ae Cycles: code refactoring, to do render layer visibility test a bit different,
replacing the camera visibility flag with object layer flags.

72d2d05770 Cycles: border rendering support, includes some refactoring in how pixels are
accessed on devices.

66b1dfae89 Cycles: tweaks to properties and nodes
* Passes renamed to samples
* Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation
* Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction
* Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed
* Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node
* Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights

There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not
perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.

bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

48b4de3152 Cycles:
* auto/fixed threads option is used now, patch by Thomas.
* remove unused CUDA_LIBRARIES, library is dynamically loaded
* fix mesh XML export operator for API update

6686f18948 Cycles: more opencl tweaks, status is:
* kernel has shading nodes / textures disabled, amd/nvidia opencl
  compilers choke on these, need to figure out how to avoid this
* works in cycles_test, not available as option in blender yet
* kernel compiles and runs with opencl 1.1 from intel/amd/nvidia

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:
http://code.google.com/p/nvidia-mesh-tools/
* Sobol direction vectors from:
http://web.maths.unsw.edu.au/~fkuo/sobol/
* Film response functions from:
