This works with operator properties - if you pass the name of a scene and renderlayer to
the screen.render operator, it will render that layer as a single layer re-render.
Also: Changed 'Spread' value to be proportional to the light cache voxel grid
(i.e. 0.5 spreads half the width of the grid), so that it's independent of light
cache resolution. This means that results should be similar as you increase/
decrease resolution.
for panels it would fail silently but for menu's it meant further references would give errors.
increase the registered class name from 32 to 64 and raise an error if the limit reached.
Currently access by selecting a marking and binding with the active camera from the view menu.
Note:
after long discussion we decieded there is no nice way to do this.. animate pointers? animate multiple camera visibility?, use sequencer? use NLA?.... have a kind of event system (like framechange scriptlinks)... etc
so this is ifdef'd with DURIAN_CAMERA_SWITCH
This adds BF_RAYOPTIMIZATION_SSE_FLAGS through which one can manage
what SSE flags are best for the platform built for.
Note that the ray optimizations coded by jaguarandi are SSE-intrinsics only.
Until now only SSE switches were defined, but to really enjoy the SIMD structures, the
__SSE__ define needs to be given. This can now be done with setting in your user-config.py
WITH_BF_RAYOPTIMIZATION=True
(or WITH_BF_RAYOPTIMIZATION=1 on command-line)
Don't use passes anymore for indirect lighting, people were using this
probably thinking it would do bounces, but that's not the intention of
this feature, it is to reduce problems with light bleeding. I want to
remove this option for AO as well, but will leave it in for now until
there is a better alternative.
Added bounces option for indirect, could be implemented much better,
but perhaps useful for testing now. Existing files need to set this to
1 to get the same results again.
After testing and feedback, I've decided to slightly modify the way color
management works internally. While the previous method worked well for
rendering, was a smaller transition and had some advantages over this
new method, it was a bit more ambiguous, and was making things difficult
for other areas such as compositing.
This implementation now considers all color data (with only a couple of
exceptions such as brush colors) to be stored in linear RGB color space,
rather than sRGB as previously. This brings it in line with Nuke, which also
operates this way, quite successfully. Color swatches, pickers, color ramp
display are now gamma corrected to display gamma so you can see what
you're doing, but the numbers themselves are considered linear. This
makes understanding blending modes more clear (a 0.5 value on overlay
will not change the result now) as well as making color swatches act more
predictably in the compositor, however bringing over color values from
applications like photoshop or gimp, that operate in a gamma space,
will give identical results.
This commit will convert over existing files saved by earlier 2.5 versions to
work generally the same, though there may be some slight differences with
things like textures. Now that we're set on changing other areas of shading,
this won't be too disruptive overall.
I've made a diagram explaining the pipeline here:

and some docs here:

This brings back the single bounce indirect diffuse lighting for AAO,
it's not integrated well but that will be tackled later as part of
shading system refactor and subdivision changes. The caveats are the
same as AAO, with one extra thing, the diffuse lighting is sampled once
per face, so it will not be accurate unless faces are subdivided.
I'm committing this now so we can start testing it for Durian, and
since changes need to make it work properly are planned.
When metaballs were added to the render, if they weren't the basis ball, they'd be skipped, leaving a render object with no geometry. Now it doesn't add an object in the first place.
* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:

Still a few quirks, including redraw issues on multilayer image input nodes, but it's pretty much there.
Would also be good to wrap the input/output sockets, too, will check on it.
This fixes bug [#19740] INPUT NODE: Cannot load images / motion pictures
Non-ID pointers in DNA can only point to data from own ID block, so
now instead it uses an index into the particle system list, but still
exposed as a pointer through RNA.
