Object coordinates can now be used in the displacement shader and will give
correct results, where as before bump mapping was calculated from the displace
positions and resulted in incorrect shading.
This works by evaluating the shader in two parts, first bump then surface, and
setting the shader state to match what it would be if the surface was
undisplaced for the bump shader evaluation. Currently only `P` is set as if
undisplaced, but other shader variables could be set as well, such as `I` or
`time`. Since these aren't set to anything meaningful for displacement I left
them out of this patch, we can decide what to do with them separately.

Adds a descriptor for attributes that can easily be passed around and extended
to contain more data. Will be used for attributes on subdivision meshes.

This adds support for ngons and attributes on subdivision meshes. Ngons are
needed for proper attribute interpolation as well as correct Catmull-Clark
subdivision. Several changes are made to achieve this:
- new primitive `SubdFace` added to `Mesh`
- 3 more textures are used to store info on patches from subd meshes
- Blender export uses loop interface instead of tessface for subd meshes
- `Attribute` class is updated with a simplified way to pass primitive counts
around and to support ngons.
- extra points for ngons are generated for O(1) attribute interpolation
- curves are temporally disabled on subd meshes to avoid various bugs with
implementation
- old unneeded code is removed from `subd/`
- various fixes and improvements

BVH traversal is not really that much a geometry and we've got
quite some traversals now. Makes sense to keep them separate in
the name of source structure clarity.
This commit adds a new distribution to the Glossy, Anisotropic and Glass BSDFs that implements the
multiple-scattering microfacet model described in the paper "Multiple-Scattering Microfacet BSDFs with the Smith Model".
Essentially, the improvement is that unlike classical GGX, which only models single scattering and assumes
the contribution of multiple bounces to be zero, this new model performs a random walk on the microsurface until
the ray leaves it again, which ensures perfect energy conservation.
In practise, this means that the "darkening problem" - GGX materials becoming darker with increasing
roughness - is solved in a physically correct and efficient way.
The downside of this model is that it has no (known) analytic expression for evalation. However, it can be
evaluated stochastically, and although the correct PDF isn't known either, the properties of MIS and the
balance heuristic guarantee an unbiased result at the cost of slightly higher noise.

Compile time per kernel increased alot after recent image commits, re-shuffle some code to fix this.
Patch by "LazyDodo".
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2012
While previous code was already compiling with OSL 1.6 it was using some symbols
which were considered deprecated in upstream.
This commit adds some ifdefs, but soon we'll get rid of all them rather soon
with the upcoming OIIO/OSL update.
This commit changes the way how we pass bounce information to the Light
Path node. Instead of manualy copying the bounces into ShaderData, we now
directly pass PathState. This reduces the arguments that we need to pass
around and also makes it easier to extend the feature.
This commit also exposes the Transmission Bounce Depth to the Light Path
node. It works similar to the Transparent Depth Output: Replace a
Transmission lightpath after X bounces with another shader, e.g a Diffuse
one. This can be used to avoid black surfaces, due to low amount of max
bounces.

I tested compilation and usage on CPU (SVM and OSL), CUDA, OpenCL Split
and Mega kernel. Hopefully this covers all devices. :)
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

Issue was caused by changed function signature. This is still not really full
support of new OSL API since we don't store anything in the derivatives which
could confuse mipmapping.
So now the following OSL versions are supported (at least for compilation):
- 1.5 with closure alignment patch applied
- 1.6.8 release
- 1.7 development version from latest git
This isn't really complete fix, complete fix would require calculating
derivatives via OIIO API, but supporting this will either end up with
some code duplication or will require some non really safe changes at
this release cycle.
This header was already included into some of the implementation files already,
and this change is needed for some upcoming changes in the way how kernel_types.h
works.
Originally we thought it's needed in order to distinguish builtin file from
filename which starts with '@', but the filepath is actually full path there
and it's unlikely to have file system where '@' is a proper root character.
Surprisingly this does not give visible speed differences, but it's still
nice to get rid of redundant check.
This inconsistency drove me totally crazy, it's really confusing
when it's inconsistent especially when you work on both Cycles and
Blender sides.
Shouldn;t cause merge PITA, it's whitespace changes only, Git should
be able to merge it nicely.
Issue was introduced in 01ee21f where i didn't notice *_setup()
function only doing partial initialization, and some of parameters
are expected to be initialized by callee function.
This was hitting only some setups, so tests with benchmark scenes
didn't unleash issues. Now it should all be fine.
This is to go to the 2.74 branch and we actually might re-AHOY.
This commit contains all the tweaks which were missing in initial patch
re-integration from the standalone Cycles repository.
This commit also contains an utility cmake macro to help linking targets
with different libraries for release/debug builds, the name currently is
target_link_libraries_decoupled
it gets a target and list of libraries and makes sure debug builds are
using libraries with "_d" suffix.
After all this changes it'll hopefully be easier to interchange patches
between blender and standalone repositories, because they're now quite
identical.
This way it is now possible to use gflags >= 2.1, where all the
functions were moved from google to gflags namespace.
This isn't currently used in blender, but for standalone repository
this change is essential.
This solves bugs like T42210 which are caused by compiler being
smart and using some SSE instructions to operate with closure
classes, which was failing because those classes are not allocated
by the regular allocator but allocated in memory pool in OSL.
With newer versions of OSL it is now possible to force closure
classes being aligned to a given boundary and this commit uses
this new functionality.
Unfortunately, it means we're no longer compatible with older
versions of OSL, only latest git version from upstream and our
branch at github are supported:
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenShadingLanguage/tree/blender-fixes
For OSX and Windows it's not an issue because libraries are
already updated there, Linux users would need to run install_deps
script.
