adea12cb01 Cycles: merge of changes from tomato branch.
Regular rendering now works tiled, and supports save buffers to save memory
during render and cache render results.

Various bug fixes by Sergey and Campbell.
* Fix for reading freed memory in some node setups.
* Fix incorrect memory read when synchronizing mesh motion.
* Fix crash appearing when direct light usage is different on different layers.
* Fix for vector pass gives wrong result in some circumstances.
* Fix for wrong resolution used for rendering Render Layer node.
* Option to cancel rendering when doing initial synchronization.
* No more texture limit when using CPU render.
* Many fixes for new tiled rendering.

d7932ceea8 Cycles: multi GPU rendering support.
The rendering device is now set in User Preferences > System, where you can
choose between OpenCL/CUDA and devices. Per scene you can then still choose
to use CPU or GPU rendering.

Load balancing still needs to be improved, now it just splits the entire
render in two, that will be done in a separate commit.

33bd38ebc7 minor edits to cycles c/python module
- rename 'bcycles' --> '_cycles', since this is the python convention when a py module uses a C module internally.
- use macros for returning None
- make with_osl an attribute rather then a function.
- changes methods METH_VARARGS --> METH_O when single args are used.

cfbd6cf154 Cycles:
* OpenCL now only uses GPU/Accelerator devices, it's only confusing if CPU
  device is used, easy to enable in the code for debugging.
* OpenCL kernel binaries are now cached for faster startup after the first
  time compiling.
* CUDA kernels can now be compiled and cached at runtime if the CUDA toolkit
  is installed. This means that even if the build does not have CUDA enabled,
  it's still possible to use it as long as you install the toolkit.

bd38aa51ad Cycles: fix crash in 3d view status text display. 2011-08-23 12:20:11 +00:00
360fcd73fe Cycles:
* add some (disabled) test code for using OpenImageIO in imbuf
* link cycles, openimageio and boost into blender instead of a shared library
* some cmakefile changes to simplify the code and follow conventions better
* this may solve running cycles problems on windows XP, or give a different
  and hopefully more useful error message

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:
