in threaded depgraph updates and effector list construction.
Gathering effectors during depgraph updates will call the
psys_check_enabled function. This in turn contained a DNA alloc call
for the psys->frand RNG arrays, which is really bad because data must be
immutable during these effector constructions.
To avoid such allocs the frand array is now global for all particle
systems. To avoid correlation of pseudo-random numbers the psys->seed
value is complemented with random offset and multiplier for the actual
float array. This is not ideal, but work sufficiently well (given that
random numbers were already really limited and show repetition quite
easily for particle counts > PSYS_FRAND_COUNT).
to wrong obmats of nested dupli objects.
Restoring obmats after BI nested dupli object rendering has to happen
in reverse order, so higher level omats are applied last.
Commit 162d6c73e3 changed the behavior of rendered viewport to use
viewport visibility, but that can cause some problems. For example,
mesh deform cage is drawn as a solid/textured mesh (not a wireframe
mesh) and its unnecessary surfaces and shadows mess up the preview.
renders were broken.
This was caused by rB1a79abdad2443ff9f12e7efd95ee78a264a9d60a which
makes a copy of the render layer list for thread safety. The single
layer passed to this function is still in the original list though, so
to get the correct index it has to be looked up there. Otherwise no
active index is set and all layers are rendered every time.
It would include/exclude shadow depending on the pass being disabled/enabled,
but that should have no influence on the combined render result. Now it always
includes shadow.
The render operator invoke checks render layers, which can force the
render layer to be activated. This requires a notifier, which has to be
done in the operator itself (can't do this inside pipeline code).
in Blender Internal renderer.
The BI renderer applies modifiers //after// changing the obmat of the
respective object (for the first instance it encounters). Before
rB6940bf0 the original obmat (omat) was stored inside dupli object data,
which was removed in favor of local omat variables due to hackishness
and redundancy. Problem with BI is that all the obmats have to be
overridden in relation to each other to produce the correct modifier
results (here: offset object for the array modifier).
The patch restores the old (messy) behavior for BI by first overriding
**all** the obmats at once from duplis, then creating render instances,
then cleaning up.
A better solution would be to avoid these modifier hacks in BI
altogether and properly evaluate them in the original object space, but
that requires far greater changes to the old code base, and is out of
scope for bugfixing.
The "Cast Shadows" worked as expected, but it can cause problem in some cases.
For example, when using strand render, we need disabling only buffer shadows,
but the previous changes made that impossible. "Cast Shadows" should be added
as a newly created option.
This allows us to make materials that don't cast ray shadows.
Turning off this property can reduce the rendering time slightly.
Note: RNA path is changed to "use_cast_shadows" as well. The older
path "use_cast_buffer_shadows" still can be used as its alias, but
it will be removed after updating some addons.

As discussed in T38340 the solution is to use the current scene from
context whenever feasible.
Composite does not use node->id at all now, the scene which owns the
compositing node tree is retrieved from context instead.
Defocus node->id is made editable by the user. By default it is not set,
which also will make it use the contextual scene and camera info.
The node->id pointer in Defocus is **not** cleared in older blend files.
This is done for backward compatibility: the node will then behave as
before in untouched scenes.
File Output nodes also don't store scene in node->id. This is only needed
when creating a new node for initializing the file format.

Added function called WM_set_locked_interface which does
two things:
- Prevents event queue from being handled, so no operators
(see below) or values are even possible to run or change.
This prevents any kind of "destructive" action performed
from user while rendering.
- Locks interface refresh for regions which does have lock
set to truth in their template. Currently it's just a 3D
viewport, but in the future more regions could be considered
unsafe, or we could want to lock different parts of
interface when doing different jobs.
This is needed because 3D viewport could be using or changing
the same data as renderer currently uses, leading to threading
conflict.
Notifiers are still allowed to handle, so render progress is
seen on the screen, but would need to doublecheck on this, in
terms some notifiers could be changing the data.
For now interface locking happens for render job only in case
"Lock Interface" checkbox is enabled.
Other tools like backing would also benefit of this option.
It is possible to mark operator as safe to be used in locked
interface mode by adding OPTYPE_ALLOW_LOCKED bit to operator
template flags.
This bit is completely handled by wm_evem_system, not
with operator run routines, so it's still possible to
run operators from drivers and handlers.
Currently allowed image editor navigation and zooming.

* EXR layers with names like 'Z' without any pass name were not loaded at all
and would break the Combined pass as well.
* EXR pass names longer than 16 characters where writing past the end of the
array and getting invalid names.
For example for vector displacement, you may have an EXR texture that has
negative colors values. Blender clamps these by default, now the Colors panel
for textures has a Clamp option to disable this clamping.
This option affects all texture types and is enabled by default, you need
to disable it if you want negative values to have an influence.
Patch by Fredrik Hansson with modifications by me.
This was storing the original object matrix, which builds on the
assumption that obmat is modified during dupli construction, which is a
bad hack.
Now the obmats are still modified, but this only happens outside of the
dupli system itself and the original ("omat") is stored as local
variables in the same place where the obmat manipulation takes place.
This is easier to follow and avoids hidden hacks as much as possible.

Issue was caused by curve object really scale up. It was
caused by 677f519 to make scaled down curves work fine.
After some tweaks to epsilon value scaled up curves seems
to work as well.
This is a regression since threaded dependency graph landed to master.
Root of the issue goes to the loads of graph preparation being done
even if there's nothing to be updated.
The idea of this change is to use ID type recalc bits to determine
whether there're objects to be updated. Generally speaking, we now
check object and object data datablocks with DAG_id_type_tagged()
and if there's no such IDs tagged we skip the whole task pool creation
and so,
The only difficult aspect was that in some circumstances it was possible
that there are tagged objects but nothing in ID recalc bit fields.
There were several different circumstances when it was possible:
* When one assigns object->recalc flag directly DAG flush didn't
set corresponding bits to ID recalc bits. Partially it is fixed
by making it so flush will set bitfield, but also for object
types there's no reason to assign recalc flag directly. Using
generic DAG_id_type_tag works almost the same fast as direct
assignment, ensures all the bitflags are set properly and for the
long run it seems it's what we would actually want to.
* DAG_on_visible_update() didn't set recalc bits at all.
* Some areas were checking for object->recalc != 0, however it is was
possible that object recalc flag contains PSYS_RECALC_CHILD which
was never cleaned from there.
No idea why would we need to assign such a flag when enabling
scene simplification, this is to be investigated separately.
* It is possible that scene_update_post and frame_update_post handlers
will modify objects. The issue is that DAG_ids_clear_recalc is called
just after callbacks, which leaves objects with recalc flags but no
corresponding bit in ID recalc bitfield. This leads to some kind of
regression when using ID type tag fields to check whether there objects
to be updated internally comparing threaded DAG with legacy one.
For now let's have a workaround which will preserve tag for ID_OB
if there're objects with OB_RECALC_ALL bits. This keeps behavior
unchanged comparing with 2.69 release.
Due to float precision issues it was basically random which of the two was used,
now it's slightly biased towards 128, which is the convention for flat colors.
The small difference between 127 and 128 could give problems with sharp glossy
shaders where it would be visible as seams.
Summary:
Issue was caused by the same tile being written twice to
the EXR file. This was happening because of partial update
of work-in-progress tiles was merging result to the final
render result in order to make color management pipeline
happy.
We need to avoid such a merges and keep memory usage as
low as possible when Save Buffers is enabled.
Now render pipeline will allocate special display buffer
in render layer which will contain combined pass in the
display space. This keeps memory usage as low as we can
do at this moment.
There's one weak thing which is changing color management
settings during rendering would lead to lossy conversion.
This is because render result's display buffer uses color
space from the time when rendering was invoked.
This is actually what was happening in previous release
already actually so not a big issue.
