This patch adds support for IES files, a file format that is commonly used to store the directional intensity distribution of light sources.
The new IES node is supposed to be plugged into the Strength input of the Emission node of the lamp.
Since people generating IES files do not really seem to care about the standard, the parser is flexible enough to accept all test files I have tried.
Some common weirdnesses are distributing values over multiple lines that should go into one line, using commas instead of spaces as delimiters and adding various useless stuff at the end of the file.
The user interface of the node is similar to the script node, the user can either select an internal Text or load a file.
Internally, IES files are handled similar to Image textures: They are stored in slots by the LightManager and each unique IES is assigned to one slot.
The local coordinate system of the lamp is used, so that the direction of the light can be changed. For UI reasons, it's usually best to add an area light,
rotate it and then change its type, since especially the point light does not immediately show its local coordinate system in the viewport.

The registry hack we were using wasn't very reliable, the recommended way to locating visual studio is using vswhere (15.2 and up), using it also allows to switch between the regular and pre-release versions.
The GPU kernel needs to use atomics for accumulation since all offsets are processed in
parallel, but on CPUs that's not the case, so we can disable them there for a considerable speedup.
The Math node currently has the normal atan() function, but for
actual angles this is fairly useless without additional nodes to handle the signs.
Since the node has two inputs anyways, it only makes sense to add an arctan2 option.

The value of epsilon was never used to create this bvhtree because whenever we activate this constraint, a bvhtree with parameter epsilon 0.0 was created and cached.
Seems to be only related on linked nature of particles.
This is caused by some conflicting optimization done for viewport, which
does not do particles re-calculation if they do not depend on time
(which is crucial for big layout scene grass fields) and particle render
setting switch which was relying on fact that render pipeline will do
particle update via time dependency.
Now we extent an old workaround for invisible objects, which now also
deals with particles in the same way as old dependency graph was dealing
with this: tag object data for update if there is particle system.
There shouldn't be any speed difference between old and new depsgraph,
since tagging was already needed and was happening.
In Blender 2.8 such things should be easier to deal with since the whole
depsgraph is to be evaluated for render engine anyway.
`MREMAP_RAYCAST_APPROXIMATE_BVHEPSILON(ray_radius)` greatly increased the radius making for example that 0.1 becoming 1.5
Now the result is much more predictable.
Since area lights are affected by scaling them, it only makes sense to support applying the scale to the lamp size.
Of course, applying location or rotation does not work.
If a scaling that changes the aspect ratio is applied to a square lamp, the mode is automatically changed to Rectangle.
This commit does two things:
- Adds an option to do the calculation in different color spaces (BT601
or BT709).
- Changes the default caluclation from legacy BT601 to BT709.
This affects several areas:
- UI areas (mainly scopes)
- ViewLevelsNode
- Several other nodes that use `COM_ConvertOperation.h`
This caused too much trouble, also it's possible users run with
'release' in their CWD causing issues.
Developers can symlink "release/" to "bin/2.79".
There were two issues here actually:
* The hack to allow running Blender directly from the source directory
would just check for a 'release' directory, without actually ensuring it
is release dir from blender source tree, and not some other random
folder.
* GHOST_getSystemDir returns nothing for portable installations, now
we'll then check directly in the blender binary dir in that case.
This fix is more critical in 2.8 branch, where that system path is used
to retrieve new '3D' icons...
Each parameter of the function is copied into the memory stack.
This also brought an improvement in peformance of snapping functions between 5% and 12% in my tests.
Applied similar fix to T54233 to get the "Record with NLA" feature working with
active action blending + influence settings. Extrapolation is explicitly ignored
though, as it shouldn't be used with this feature (i.e. it is already disabled
with the new strips and also on the animdata by default)
It is hidden behind the --debug-io flag for now.
Idea is to try to catch broken libraries state in current Main before we
actually write the file on disk, should help catching and understanding
what happens in Spring corruption cases.
This is still broken I cant tell if it is the fact that the in_band
funtion does not work properally or an issue in the box algorithm, or
both.
It seems like the calculation of the size of the box while roatated
needs to be fixed also.
The work is mainly from Lukas Toenne, with some modifications from myself.
Includes following obvious changes:
- Particle system selection is now name-based, with lookup menu.
- Lots of new options to control varieties.
Changes comparing to the Gooseberry branch:
- Default values and versioning code ensures same behavior as the
old modifier.
- Custom data layers are coming from vertex color, the modifier
does not create arbitrary layers now. The hope is to keep data
more manageable, and maybe make it easier to select in the shader
later on.
This means, values are quantized to 256 values, but it should be
enough to get varieties in practice.

This statement is only relevant in 2.8, but causes confusion in master.
I kept the 'default' label to prevent compiler warnings about unhandled

after 'default'.
This finally allows us to use Random factor to add variations to the
interpolated children. This feature never worked since 2007L there was
random factor slider in the interface, but it was only used by simple
children. Now it has affect on interpolated children as well.
Technically, this will break compatibility if older file had random
factor set to something else than 0 (default value is 0 though). But
we are leaving 2.7 series, so can accept such breackage in the name
of supported features.
Tab after C++ comment broke parsing and didn't remove the line at all.

This means commented out code was actually written to SDNA.
Why exactly this happens remains unclear, found that in the

Added a lock-free deferred queue for deletion. Now if ID icon
is requested to be freed from non-main thread, it will be added
to the deferred list. Actual deletion will happen later from main
thread.
Currently actual deletion only happens next time BKE_icon_id_delete()
is called, which might not be enough. But it's easy to enforce
deferred deletion.
Icons for preview images are not covered by deferred deletion yet.

WEBM is the codec name, and VP9 is the encoder (the older encoder "VP8"
is less efficient than VP9).
WEBM/VP9 and h.264 both have options to control the file size versus
compression time (e.g. fast but big, or slow and small, for the same
output quality). Since WEBM/VP9 only has three choices, I've chosen to
map those to 3 of the 9 possible choices of h.264:
- BEST → SLOWER
- GOOD → MEDIUM
- REALTIME → SUPERFAST
The VERYSLOW and ULTRAFAST options give very little extra benefit.

The encoding panel mentions "None" in a few places, which is confusing.

When selecting "No Video" the remaining video encoding options are
hidden, making it even more explicit that there will not be video in the
output file.
The label "Codec" now reads "Video Codec" for symmetry with "Audio
Codec".
When importing multiple materials for one object,
the imported material animation curves have all been

Free code should not handle ID refcounting at all. This has to be done

This change seems to be working OK, but as usual in that area, only
lots of testing in real-case situation will say whether there are some
hidden bugs or not.
Issue was, *some* IDs (like infamous nodetrees from materials etc.)
would not go through the 'main' read_libblock() func, so their tags were
never reset.
So now, we ensure direct_link_id() always clear the tags, and move
setting them in read_libblock() after the call to direct_link_id().
Needed for depsgraph, but general healthier fix actually.
This is a part of copy-on-write sanitization, to avoid all the checks
which were attempting to keep sub-data pointers intact.
Point is: ID pointers never change for CoW datablocks, but nested
data pointers might change when updating existing copy.
Solution: Only bind ID data pointers and index of sub-data.
This will make CoW datablock 7update function was easier in 2.8.

Back in the days (2.4x and before), it was rather easy to get some

- Mode switching is used to ensure the state is correct before

- Some undo types accumulate changes (image & text editing)
others store the state multiple times (with de-duplication).
This is supported by checking UndoStack.mode `ACCUMULATE` / `STORE`.
- Each undo step stores ID datablocks they use with utilities to help

Needed since global undo is now mixed with other modes undo.

* Quit Blender but don't skip quit promt

Leaks happened because WM_exit() was called from within operator, UI wasn't able

- The common name in computer science are 'getters' and 'setters', so by
adding these names to the documentation (while 'get' and 'set are still

title also makes it clearer that this example is not just about
getting or setting the property value.
- Added a little prefix to each printed value, so that print statement,
expected output, and real output can be matched easier.
The old example had two downsides:
- It promoted a blocking UI design, where the user is shown a popup
before actually executing the operator.
- It didn't show how to actually use the property values.
The new code avoids these mistakes. The properties are also shown in the
redo panel in the 3D view.
Note that I also changed the bl_idname, as this is an example about
properties, not about dialogue boxes, and changed the class name to use
the standard operator naming convention.
I also extended the example to include a panel that sets multiple
properties of the operator, since I see questions about this relatively

* Suspicious usage of pointer:

When this is later used for anything then blender would crash.
After following the code and check what happens i strongly believe
the author wanted to use a short and not a pointer to a short here.
* local variable where reused later in same function
While this did no harm, i still felt it was better to use a different

- moved variable declaraiotns into loop (for int a=0; ...)
- renamed uv_images to uv_image_set
- renamed index variable from i to j in inner loop that
reused same index name from outer loop
The iterator was redeclared 3 times. I fixed this to avoid future issues.
I commit separately because so the changes are less cluttered all over

The function validateConstraints() potentially causes a null pointer

Premise: When pose bones are selected, applying a pose library should
only affect the selected bones.
This commit fixes a bug where the pose was also applied when there was
no overlap between the selected bones and the bones in the pose. For
example, applying a pose which contains only keyframes for the left
hand, while only right-hand bones are selected, would apply the pose
to the left hand anyway.
The code is now also slightly more efficient; the removed 'selcount'
counter was only used as a binary (i.e. zero or non-zero). It's now

This is an issue with which value to trust: fps vs. tbr. They both cam be
somewhat broken. Currently the idea is:
- If file was saved with FFmpeg AND we are decoding with FFmpeg we trust tbr.
- If we are decoding with Libav we use fps (there does not seem to be tbr in
Libav, unless i'm missing something).
- All other cases we use fps.

Each AnimData block has a set of Blend/Extrapolation/Influence settings
that can be used to control how the active action is blended with the
NLA stack. However, these settings were not getting copied over to the
newly created strips (as the push-down code existed long before these
settings were added).
This commit solves this in several ways:
* Active Action Blend/Extrapolation/Influence settings now get copied
to the new strips when adding them to the NLA stack via Push Down.
Note: This doesn't happen when there are no existing NLA tracks,
as these settings don't get used in that case.
* Strip Influence will be copied across when inf < 1.0 (i.e. when a
non-default value is used), to maintain the effect. To make this work,
the influence value will get added as a keyframe to the strip's
"Influence" Control FCurve.
- See code comments for an alternative approach and why that was not chosen
- Strip Time still doesn't get keyframes added automatically yet.
* To ensure the "extrapolation mode" settings don't get always overwritten,
I've put in place a compromise: the extrapolation will only get changed
if the chosen setting will cause problmes (i.e. hold forward & back -> hold forward
if there are other tracks before it already).
Not safe for backporting to 2.79[x] stable releases.
Now repeating the operator will use the previously chosen offset, either with
the modal operator or typed in. The modal operator will still start at zero.

The issue was happening with fast Gaussian blur, and caused by NaN value pixels
in the input buffer.
Now made it so Map Range output does not produce NaN, by returning arbitrary
value of 0. Still better than NaN!
Previous fix for T53430 caused T54200.
The edge case for soft & hard cuts weren't working,
where the strip used start/end-still & the frame was placed exactly on
the start/end of of the sequence content.
T54200 fixed the end-still case but broke hard-cuts for all other cases.
This fixes the case for soft/hard cuts with/without start/end-still.
Introduced explicit ID property node for driers in depsgraph,
so it is clear what is the input for driver, and what is the
output.
This also solved relations builder throwing lots of errors
due to ID property not being found.
It was possible to have relations like A -> B -> C -> A (import thing is
that no other operations points into this cluster) which were not detected
or reported by dependency cycle solver.
Now this is solved by ensuring we don't leave unvisited nodes behind.
This is probably a better way to handle it: instead of totally
discarding scaling of non-free axes, keep the ratio between them.
Basically the logic of the constraint is now that it rescales the
object uniformly in the non-free axis plane in order to force the
total volume change to the desired value.
It seems the reason the old version of the constraint overcompensates
as reported in T48079 is to allow the constraint to work with uniform
scaling on all axes. However the way it did that actually _requires_
uniform scaling for the constraint to work correctly, and breaks if
only the free scaling axis is used to avoid redundant channels.
This version attempts to allow both by discarding scaling in the non-
free directions instead of applying the correction on top of it.
This merges changes in internals, runtime-only of existing custom
normals code, which make sense as of themselves, and will make diff of
soc branch easier/lighter to review.
In the details, it mostly changes two things:
* Now, smooth fans (aka MLoopNorSpaceArray) can store either loop
indices, or pointers to BMLoop themselves. This makes sense since in
BMesh, it's relatively easy to get index from a BMElement, but nearly
impracticable to go the other way around.
* First change enforces another, now we cannot rely anymore on `loops`
being NULL in MLoopNorSpace to detect single-loop fans, so we instead
store that info in a new flag.
Again, these are expected to be totally non-functional changes.

We generate a tight mesh around the active voxels of the volume in order
to effectively skip empty space, and start volume ray marching as close
to interesting volume data as possible. See code comments for details on
how the mesh generation algorithm works.

This is more important now that we will have tigther volume bounds that
we hit multiple times. It also avoids some noise due to RR previously
affecting these surfaces, which shouldn't have been the case and should
eventually be fixed for transparent BSDFs as well.
For non-volume scenes I found no performance impact on NVIDIA or AMD.
For volume scenes the noise decrease and fixed artifacts are worth the
little extra render time, when there is any.
* Use a subsurface color equal to the base color, and give the subsurface

While doing so with Bone_R.001, Bone_R.003, Bone_R.003 etc. is doomed to
issues, doing that on duplicates of actually correctly named bones can
be handy, and safe.
So adding back as an option (was removed in rB702bc5ba26d5).
Flip names operator changed in rB702bc5ba26d5, to some sensible
behavior. But this breaks common workflow of 'duplicate part of the
bones, scale-mirror new ones, and flip their names'.
So now, instead of doing this in two steps, trying to guesstimate which
bones should get which name, just add option to flip names to duplicate
operator itself. Simpler, safer, and much, much more consitent behavior
and predictable results.
This solves issue with tweaking brush size when interleaving particle edit

Don't see any reason why we would want to save any of those properties.

When you were using autosmooth to generate some custom normals, and
created empty custom loop normal data, you would go back to an 'all
smooth' shading, cancelling some sharp edges generated by the mesh's
smooth threshold.
Now we will first tag such edges as sharp, such that shading remains the
same. This is not crucial in current master, but it is for clnors
editing gsoc branch!
Regression caused by earlier commits to improve the automerge behaviour.
In this case, the problems only occurred when moving a selected keyframe
forwards in time to overlap an unselected keyframe.
While it is necessary to ignore duplicates when doing Deselect/Column Select
(where double-updates may result in nothing being selected), for borderselect,
not including the duplicates meant that sometimes, nothing would happen
if you were trying to borderselect keyframes originating from hidden channels.
This was first noticed in the greasepencil-object branch, but affects all
animation channel types.
This allows us to:
- Not mock around with tags stored in a global space,
and not to iterate over all datablocks in the database
to clear the tags.
- Properly deal with datablocks which might not be in main database.
While it sounds crazy, it might be handy when dealing with preview,
or some partial scene updates, such as motion paths.
- Avoids majority of places where depsgraph construction needed bmain.
This is something what could help in blender2.8 branch.

We now continue transparent paths after diffuse/glossy/transmission/volume

The other approach was causing too much error in some cases (e.g. favouring
the lower-valued keyframes). This fix should make the resulting curves less
bumpy/jagged.
This commit removes an earlier attempt at optimising the lookups
for duplicates of a particular tRetainedKeyframe once we'd already
deleted all the selected copies. The problem was that now, instead
of getting rid of the unselected keys (i.e. the basic function here),
we were only getting rid of the selected duplicates.
With this fix, unselected keyframes will now get removed (as expected)
again. However, we currently don't take their values into account
when merging keyframes, since it is assumed that we don't care so much
about their values when overriding.
that end up on the same frame
Currently, when scaling keyframes in the Dopesheet, if multiple
selected keyframes end up on the same frame post-scaling, they
would not get removed by the "Automerge" setting that normally
removes duplicates on the same frame.
This commit changes the behaviour so that when multiple selected
keyframes end up on the same frame, instead of keeping all these
around on the same frame (e.g. resulting in a column of keyframes
on different values), we will instead merge them into a single
keyframe (by averaging the values). This should result in a
smoother F-Curve with fewer "stair-steps" that need to be carefully
cleaned out afterwards.
Requested by @hjalti
This bug took a while to track down. In the test file with this report,
the Nla-Strip Control Curve for strip time would get disabled if you
changed the NLA Editor to a second Graph Editor instance.
It turns out that because this second Graph Editor would have the
"filter fcurves by name" option enabled, this would trigger a lookup
of the referenced property's name (in order to test whether it matched
the filtering criteria). However, since that filtering code was written
before the introduction of these curves, it still assumed that the names
for these Control Curves should be handled the same as for standard FCurves.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work, as the property lookups fail if the standard
method is used - when the lookups fail, the F-Curves get tagged as being
invalid/disabled (and need to be reset using the "Revive Disabled FCurves"
operator).
Note: The changes in this patch look complicated, as I've had to shuffle
a bit of code around so that the name-filtering check can have access to
the additional info it needs. In the process, I've also removed the earlier
(hacky) approach where the control curves were getting added to a temp
buffer to get changed from normal FCurves to special ANIMTYPE_NLACURVES.
Not sure why we need a relation from solver to a tip local transform, this

Once 'losing lib' issue is fixed (in previous commit), we have new issue
that this could lead to several copies of the same linked data-block in
.blend file. Which is not good. At all.
So had to add a GHash-based check in libraries reading code to ensure we
only load a same ID from a same lib once.
The issue was that when a same lib was found several times in loaded
.blend, we'd only keep the first occurence. But since Blender expects
next data-blocks to belong to last found library, we could actually
be adding data-blocks assigned to copies of the duplicated lib to
another, totally unrelated lib.
Those data-blocks were then obviously not found when actually loading
libs content, and lost.
Note that this only fix one part of the issue, current code can
generate several copies of same linked data-block now, will fix in

This completes twist feature, which is now possible to also control by
texture. Since textures can not easily contain negative values as well,
same trick with 0.5 neutral as vertex groups is used.
All in all, this twist features allows to do following things.
Original hair:
{F2287535}
Hair with scientifically calculated twist value of 0.5:
{F2287540}
And we can also twist braids in opposite directions dependent on left/right
side:
{F2287548}
The idea is to give a control over direction of twist, and maybe amount of
twist as well. More concrete example: make braids on left and right side of
character head to be twisting opposite directions.
Now, tricky part: we need some negative values to flip direction, but weights
can not be negative. So we use same trick as displacement map and tangent normal
maps, where 0.5 is neutral, values below 0.5 are considered negative and values
above 0.5 are considered positive.
It allows to have children hair to be twisted around parent curve, which is
quite an essential feature when creating hair braids.
There are currently two controls:
- Number of turns around parent children.
- Influence curve, which allows to modify "twistness" along the strand.
This isn't supported since there are subsequent reads to all point coordinates
after modification started.
Probably we need to create a temp copy of point, but that's like extra CPU
ticks.
It seems to be useful still in cases where the particle are distributed in
a particular order or pattern, to colorize them along with that. This isn't
really well defined, but might as well avoid breaking backwards compatibility
for now.
This is like the only way to add variety to hair which is created
using simple children. Used here for the hair.
Maybe not ideal, but the time will show.
Burley SSS uses a bit of strange thing where the albedo and closure weight are
different, which makes the subsurface color act a bit like a subsurface radius
indirectly by the way the Burley SSS profile works.
This can't work for random walk SSS though, and it's not clear to me that this
is actually a good idea since it's really the subsurface radius that is supposed
to control this. For now I'll leave Burley SSS working the same to not break
backwards compatibility.
This can be very slow if it contains a big texture, and it's not

This can be very slow if it contains a big texture, and it's not
necessarily setup in a useful way anyway, and materials can be used

It is basically brute force volume scattering within the mesh, but part
of the SSS code for faster performance. The main difference with actual
volume scattering is that we assume the boundaries are diffuse and that
all lighting is coming through this boundary from outside the volume.
This gives much more accurate results for thin features and low density.
Some challenges remain however:
* Significantly more noisy than BSSRDF. Adding Dwivedi sampling may help
here, but it's unclear still how much it helps in real world cases.
* Due to this being a volumetric method, geometry like eyes or mouth can
darken the skin on the outside. We may be able to reduce this effect,
or users can compensate for it by reducing the scattering radius in
such areas.
* Sharp corners are quite bright. This matches actual volume rendering
and results in some other renderers, but maybe not so much real world
objects.

This is rather a workaround to avoid main thread freeing all glyph caches
at the same time as sequencer uses fonts to draw text sequences.
Ideally we need to either make cache more local, or user-counted or to make
somewhat more global locks. All this ends up in a bigger refactor which is
better for 2.8. For the meantime let's make Blender more stable with a tiny
workaround.
Downside is that keeping zooming things up and down in interface during render
will increase memory usage by unused glyph caches. It's not too bad though,
all unused caches will be freed first time at area zoom after render.

The issue was introduced by eb016eb as a fix for T41258, which added depsgraph
tagging with zero flag. The comment was saying that it's to make derived caches
to be updated, however bot sure how that could possibly work: tagging ID for
update with 0 flag only sets updated tags in bmain in old dependency graph.
In the new depsgraph, where object data is a part of depsgraph, doing such a
tag forces object to be updated, which re-triggers viewport rendering, which
is causing such an infinite viewport render rest.
Can not reproduce any crashes here, so maybe it's fine to move on with this
change.
This was disabled to avoid updating the geometry every time when the
material includes displacement, because there was no way to distinguish
between surface shader and displacement updates.
As a solution, we now compute an MD5 hash of the nodes linked to the
displacement socket, and only update the mesh if that changes.

The "Apply Pose as Rest Pose" operator now affects Bendy Bone settings
too, making it possible to use interactive posing tools (e.g. Pose Sculpting

When such posing tools are available, this change makes it easier to get

There was a check for volume bounces at every surface intersection. That could lead to a volume scattered path being terminated
when passing through a transparent surface. This check was superfluous, as the volume shader evaluation already checks the
number of volume bounces and once it passes the max, volume shaders will not return scatter events any more.

We can only support painting from subsurf DM in a limited subset of

This is not the most ideal fix (ideally, we should always be able to get
a mapping to original geometry from any point in modifiers stack...).
We do not always have that one available, and even without the
isDisabled callback this func is helpful.
Note that this is a bot stupid, only modifier actually needing a valid

One thing i'm not fully happy with is all this is_same_* functions. Need to
get rid of this by probably adding explicit entry/init/whatever nodes and
maybe making node criteria aware of whether key will be used as "from" or
as "to" node.
By adding the ANIMFILTER_NODUPLIS flag to the filter it'll only be
processing each F-Curve once, which means we can remove while iterating.
This also solves a potential issue when a datablock has a driver and is
shared among multiple objects.
An index stored in Alembic wasn't used. Often this index is a no-op

This is committed as separated step to ease troubleshooting in case

Gives about 40% speedup of object which has simple-ish deformation applied
on top of subdivided mesh.
This might easily happen with single character animation.
Helps in cases of not very complex scenes and lots of system threads available.

When using a tablet, detecting absolute motion only worked

set for new events based on the most recent motion events.
The idea is to support following: allow doing parallel for on a small range,
each iteration of which takes lots of compute power, but limit such range to
a subset of threads.
For example, on a machine with 44 threads we can occupy 4 threads to handle
range of 64 elements, 16 elements per thread, where each block of 16 elements
is very complex to compute.
The idea should be to use this setting instead of global use_threading flag,
which is only based on size of array. Proper use of the new flag will improve
threadability.
This commit only contains internal task scheduler changes, this setting is not
used yet by any areas.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
We tried to do as much as possible in a single threaded callback, which
lead to using some nasty tricks like fake atomic-based spinlocks to
perform some operations (like float addition, which has no atomic
intrinsics).
While OK with 'standard' low number of working threads (8-16), because
collision were rather rare and implied memory barrier not *that* much
overhead, this performed poorly with more powerful systems reaching the
100 of threads and beyond (like workstations or render farm hardware).
There, both memory barrier overhead and more frequent collisions would
have significant impact on performances.
This was addressed by splitting further the process, we now have three
loops, one over polys, loops and vertices, and we added an intermediate
storage for weighted loop normals. This allows to avoid completely any
atomic operation in body of threaded loops, which should fix scalability
issues. This costs us slightly higher temp memory usage (something like
50Mb per million of polygons on average), but looks like acceptable
tradeoff.
Further more, tests showed that we could gain an additional ~7% of speed
in computing normals of heavy meshes, by also parallelizing the last two
loops (might be 1 or 2% on overall mesh update at best...).
Note that further tweaking in this code should be possible once Sergey
adds the 'minimum batch size' option to threaded foreach API, since very
light loops like the one on loops (mere v3 addition) require much bigger
batches than heavier code (like the one on polys) to keep optimal
performances.
This is a bit annoying to have per-DM locking, but it's way better (as in, up to
4 times better) for playback speed when having lots of subsurf objects,
This a small cleanup of something which I think is just a typo anyway.
With all the recent talks of harrassment and groping, I think we better avoid
that within our source code! :)

Technically this was introduced in 01b547f993 when
exposing size and randomness for particles.
This "fixes" makes sure particle size and size randomness is always in the
Render panel when it affects the particle system (i.e., always unless using
advanced hair or hair that is not rendering groups/objects).
The issue was caused by SpinLock implementation in old pthreads we ar eusing on
Windows. Using newer one (2.10-rc) demonstrates same exact behavior. But likely
using own atomics and memory barrier based implementation solves the issue.
A bit annoying that we need to change such a core part of Blender just to make
specific CPU happy, but it's better to have artists happy on all computers.
There is no expected downsides of this change, but it is so called "works for
me" category. Let's see how it all goes.
There was some changes about namespaces, which causes ambiguities.
Replaces using namespace with an explicit symbols we need. Is good idea to NOT
pull in the whole namespace anyway!
Now we replace O(N^2) computational complexity with O(N) extra memory penalty.
Memory is much cheaper than CPU time. Keep in mind, memory penalty is like
4 megabytes per 1M vertices.
The issue here is that we can not read scale from socket when determining
dependent area of interest. This area will depend on current pixel. Now fall
back to more stupid but reliable thing: if scale size input is connected to some
nodes, we use the whole frame as area of interest.
The issue was caused by threading conflict around looptris: it was possible
that DM will return non-NULL but non-initialized array of looptris.
Thanks Campbell for second pair of eyes!
Use more watertight and robust intersection test.
It uses now ray to triangle intersection, but it's all fine because segment was
covering the whole bounding box anyway.
Mainly when object origin is not at the geometry bounding box center.
Seems to be straightforward to fix, hopefully it doesn't break some obscure case
where this was a desired behavior.
This is fully unpredictable for artists when one damaged object makes the whole
scene to render incorrectly. This involves two main changes:
- It is not enough to check triangle bounds to be valid when building BVH.
This is because triangle might have some finite vertices and some non-finite.
- We shouldn't add non-finite triangle area to the overall area for MIS.

updating triangle indices for each edge-rotation.
Replace this with half-edge which can rotate edges much more simply,

Gives ~33% speedup in own tests.
In that case it can now fall back to CPU memory, at the cost of reduced
performance. For scenes that fit in GPU memory, this commit should not
cause any noticeable slowdowns.
We don't use all physical system RAM, since that can cause OS instability.
We leave at least half of system RAM or 4GB to other software, whichever
is smaller.
For image textures in host memory, performance was maybe 20-30% slower
in our tests (although this is highly hardware and scene dependent). Once
other type of data doesn't fit on the GPU, performance can be e.g. 10x
slower, and at that point it's probably better to just render on the CPU.

Two issues here:
- Checking table size to be non-zero is not a proper way to go here. This is
because we first resize the table and then fill it in. So it was possible that
non-initialized table was used.
Trickery with using temporary memory and then doing table.swap() might work,
but we can not guarantee that table size will be set after the data pointer.
- Mutex guard was useless, because every thread was using own mutex. Need to
make mutex guard static so all threads are using same mutex.
One crucial thing here: OpenVDB shoudl be compiled WITHOUT
OPENVDB_ENABLE_3_ABI_COMPATIBLE flag. This is how OpenVDB's Makefile is
configured and it's not really possible to detect this for a compiled library.
If we ever want to support that option, we need to add extra CMake argument and
use old version 3 API everywhere.
There is absolute no reason to have such an indentation level, it only causes
readability and maintainability issues. It is really simple to make code more
"streamlined".
The issue actually goes a bit deeper, converting curve to mesh will
change texture space just because font and bezier curves are using CV
to calculate texture space.
So now when those objects are converted to mesh, we disable auto
texture space and copy evaluated space over.
Previously, hitting Shift-LMB will first invoke selection operator, which
then later on is transformed to mouse tweak used for reroute operator.
This was causing problems extending selection with Shift-LMB when clicking
fast or from a tablet.
This was expected behavior for over-exposured lamps when the mode was originally
created for Tears of Steel. Turns out, there could be really bad green screen in
real production which will only have green (or rather screen) channel over
exposured.
Tweaked condition now so we use least bright channel to see if the area has
proper exposure or not.
Seems to work fine in tests, but further tweaks are possible.
Was a mistake in optimization commit which was disconnecting closures and nodes
which does not make sense for volume output.
OSL script we can't ignore and can't currently know in advance if it's a proper

This is a good candidate for corrective release.
The issue here was that removing datablock from main database will poke editors
update, which includes buttons context to free users of texture. Since Cycles
will free datablocks from job thread, it might crash Blender since main thread

Solved by exposing extra arguments to bpy.data.foo.remove() which indicates
whether we want to perform ID user count and interface updates. While scripts
shouldn't be using those normally, this is the only way to allow Cycles to skip
interface update when removing datablock.

When 2x loops have different number of vertices,

Core of the problem is pretty clear though, thanks to Germano Cavalcante
(@mano-wii): another thread could try to use looptris data after worker
one had allocated it, but before it had actually computed looptris.
So now, we use a temp 'wip' pointer to store looptris being computed

SVM nodes need to read all data to get the right offset for the following node.
This is quite weak, a more generic solution would be good in the future.
We tried to do as much as possible in a single threaded callback, which
lead to using some nasty tricks like fake atomic-based spinlocks to
perform some operations (like float addition, which has no atomic
intrinsics).
While OK with 'standard' low number of working threads (8-16), because
collision were rather rare and implied memory barrier not *that* much
overhead, this performed poorly with more powerful systems reaching the
100 of threads and beyond (like workstations or render farm hardware).
There, both memory barrier overhead and more frequent collisions would
have significant impact on performances.
This was addressed by splitting further the process, we now have three
loops, one over polys, loops and vertices, and we added an intermediate
storage for weighted loop normals. This allows to avoid completely any
atomic operation in body of threaded loops, which should fix scalability
issues. This costs us slightly higher temp memory usage (something like
50Mb per million of polygons on average), but looks like acceptable
tradeoff.
Further more, tests showed that we could gain an additional ~7% of speed
in computing normals of heavy meshes, by also parallelizing the last two
loops (might be 1 or 2% on overall mesh update at best...).
Note that further tweaking in this code should be possible once Sergey
adds the 'minimum batch size' option to threaded foreach API, since very
light loops like the one on loops (mere v3 addition) require much bigger
batches than heavier code (like the one on polys) to keep optimal
performances.
This is a bit annoying to have per-DM locking, but it's way better (as in, up to
4 times better) for playback speed when having lots of subsurf objects,
The idea is to avoid any threading overhead when we start pushing tasks in a
loop. Similarly to how we do it from the new dependency graph. Gives couple of
percent of speedup here, but also improves scalability.
This statistics is only collected when debug_value is different from 0.
Stored in depsgraph node itself, so we can always have access to average data
and other stats which requires persistent storage. This way we also don't waste
time trying to find stats from a separately stored hash map.
This is something deliver form node type, there is no reason to try cache it
anywhere, especially since it's not used in any performance critical code.
Lighter weight dependency graph is what we want.
Since in Alembic the loop order seems to be reversed when exporting and
importing, and this was the only place where it was not, I was thinking
to match this to the convention of reversing the loop order as well.

Annoyingly, need to convert vfont to nurbs, do minmax and toss nurbs away.
This is likely to be fine, since this function is not intended to be used
a lot, and this is the only way to get more meaningful result.
However, it's not very clear what to do with font on curve.
This fixes rendering of font object with auto texture space in Cycles

It is probably possible to introduce new mode to vfont_to_curve which

We can not store pointers to elements of collection property in the
case we modify that collection. This is like storing pointers to
elements of array before calling realloc().
The issue actually goes a bit deeper, converting curve to mesh will
change texture space just because font and bezier curves are using CV
to calculate texture space.
So now when those objects are converted to mesh, we disable auto
texture space and copy evaluated space over.
Original fix was assuming that particle init operation is updated on every
frame, which is wrong behavior and that was fixed in previous commit to the
original bugfix.
A comparison should have not just have been against an epsilon,
but relative to the edge length involved.
Thanks to mano-wii for patch on which this is based.
The idea is to de-duplicate logic in DEG_id_tag_update() and flushing where we
need to translate depsgraph tag or component type to ID level recalc flag.
Currently unused, but is required for Blender 2.8.
Not only this helps merges form master to the branch, but also:
- Allows us to production-check changes as soon as possible.
- Avoids some unnecessary editors update about ID changes.
- Adds small optimization on queue size by always keeping one of the pointers
outside of the queue.
The idea is to allow iterating over ID nodes in exact order of their
construction, and in order which will not change dependent on memory
pointers or anything.
Currently this is a no-visible-changes change, but the idea is to use this
dedicated flag to tell which exact components of ID changed, make it more
granular than just OBJECT and OBJECT_DATA. Allow setting this field based
on what components new dependency graph flushed on evaluation.
Currently unused, but this is where LIB_TAG_ID_RECALC* flags will go.
Also modified other DNA to make pointer property being followed by pointer.
Makes it easier to keep track of alignment and extend nested structures without
ruining anything.
This is a part of ongoing work in Blender 2.8, where we need to replace
`object->id.tag & LIB_TAG_ID_RECALC_DATA`
with
`object->data->id.tag & LIB_TAG_ID_RECALC`
Should be no user measurable difference.
Previously, hitting Shift-LMB will first invoke selection operator, which

Avoid creating new Python instances
every time a scene, object, mesh .. etc are accessed.
Also resolves crashes T28724, T53530

Back-ported from blender2.8 branch.
Bug introduced on rB9f5bf197a0c3.
The offset for selection of vertices (`bm_vertoffs`) starts where the offset o edges ends (`bm_wireoffs`).
However, the `bm_wireoffs` depends on the offset of face selection (`bm_solidoffs`).
Before the commit that introduced the bug, the drawn of edges (in backbuff) was always computed along with the `bm_wireoffs`:
```
bm_wireoffs = bm_solidoffs + em->bm->totedge;
```
Now that the edges are not always drawn in backbuff, `bm_wireoffs` has to start from `bm_solidoffs`.
Our own implementation was behaving different comparing to OSL and GPU,
namely on the border pixels OSL and CUDA was doing interpolation with
black, but we were clamping coordinate.
This partially fixes issue reported in T53452.
Similar change should also be done for 3D interpolation perhaps, but this
is to be investigated separately.
This only applies to ID being copied outside of bmain. Handy for cases when it
is important to check if the copy corresponds to a data block coming from
library.
Example of that is proxy evaluation with copy on write.

Before that it was up to lots of other places to keep track on whether
something is to be dependent on time or not. Was annoying, and unreliable,
and fragile.
This commit avoids hacks in object builder. Other areas will be adopted
soon.
This is something what should be supported by the new dependency graph.
Fixed by making it so, build_animation() adds relation between Animation
component and whatever-is-being-animated. In fact, for now, only relations to
ID properties are added. Rest of the relations are kind of hacked in all over
the code and needs to be removed and verified with specific .blend files.
We can't use a single component here, sine it might consist of multiple
operations. So, for example, having driver operation will confuse targets
of another driver.
Fill-selection would only go upward in list of items to find an already
selected one and fill-select all items in-between. Now, in case upward
search fails, it will also intent to go downward, effectiviely allowing
to 'fill-select' from bottom to top.
Note that top-to-bottom keeps priority (i.e. if a top-to-bottom
fill-selection is possible, it will always happen, even if a
bottom-to-top one is also possible).
* For the T48988 fix (i.e. separate Ease In/Out properties for Bendy Bones
in Edit vs Pose modes), old animation data needed to be patched to use
the new property names. This is needed to partially fix some of the
issues in T53356 (though the Rigify code itself still needs to be patched).
* For the T52009 fix, old files needed to have the frame_start and frame_end
properties on the FModifier (base-class) updated to match that of the
FMod_Stepped type-specific class. This wasn't done in the earlier commit
since it wasn't worth going through all animation data just for the sake
of updating these relatively-rare settings, but since we're doing it anyway
now, it makes sense to include this here.

Currently shouldn't make any difference, but this is something what needs to be
done to sanitize drivers relations )with the idea to re-use some generic code

Those are unused, and not clear whether we will ever support this.
Seems to be better having more like "component" tags, would be less magic
involved to guess what exactly is to be tagged.
One or two are OK, but more make it rather unreadable, and future work
is likely to require more toggle specific behavior here. So switched to
bitflags, switching from short to int and using 16 upper bits for
'internal' ones defined in BLO_readfile.h, combined with 'public' ones
from user interaction, defined in DNA_space_types.h
The idea of this flag was to prevent snapping onto an object which depends on
currently modifying ones. Using single flag makes more sense here, and also
makes it possible to replace some ob->recalc based magic with depsgraph query
to set those flags.
It looks stupid to first force some flag being set and then have workaround
to ignore that flag in snapping code. Let's just not set the flag in the first
place.
The only useful situation where such snapping was usable is to move roots of
disconnected hair, which still works just fine. However, there might be some
other hidden corner case where this workaround was needed.
Previously, the NLM kernels would be launched once per offset with one thread per pixel.
However, with the smaller tile sizes that are now feasible, there wasn't enough work to fully occupy GPUs which results in a significant slowdown.
Therefore, the kernels are now launched in a single call that handles all offsets at once.
This has two downsides: Memory accesses to accumulating buffers are now atomic, and more importantly, the temporary memory now has to be allocated for every shift at once, increasing the required memory.
On the other hand, of course, the smaller tiles significantly reduce the size of the memory.
The main bottleneck right now is the construction of the transformation - there is nothing to be parallelized there, one thread per pixel is the maximum.
I tried to parallelize the SVD implementation by storing the matrix in shared memory and launching one block per pixel, but that wasn't really going anywhere.
To make the new code somewhat readable, the handling of rectangular regions was cleaned up a bit and commented, it should be easier to understand what's going on now.
Also, some variables have been renamed to make the difference between buffer width and stride more apparent, in addition to some general style cleanup.
For some blend modes there would be no effect with factor 1.0, even if factor
0.999 would give a very different image. Now the result should have no
discontinuity.

Adds support for defining a number of tags as part of the rna-struct
definition, which its properties can set similar to property-flags.
BPY supports setting these tags when defining custom properties too.
* To define tags for a struct (which its properties can use then), define the tags in an `EnumPropertyItem` array, and assign them to the struct using `RNA_def_struct_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in C, use the new `RNA_def_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in Python, use the newly added tags parameter. E.g. `bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'SOME_TAG', 'ANOTHER_TAG'})`.
No need to print status for basic & reliable operations,

Nice for ninja, so any printed text hints at a problem to fix.
This is fully unreadable to have lots of boolean arguments scattered across the

Replace those with bitfield which has advantage of having more human readable

Pretty straightforward this time, we already have a single struct
pointer containing all needed data (or nearly).
And we gain about 10-15% speed on tracking! :)
Two more 'not really useful' cases (OMP only shows some noticeable
speedup with above 1M elements, and since this is quick operation anyway
compared to even ather basic operators, gain is in the 1% area of total
processing time in best case).
So not worth parallelizing here, we'll gain much more on tackling heavy
operations. ;)
And BMesh is free from OMP now!
Performances tests on this one are quite surprising actually...
Parallelized loop itself is at least 10 times quicker with new BLI_task
code than it was with OMP. And subdividing e.g. a heavy mesh with 3
levels of multires (whole process) takes 8 seconds with new code, while
10 seconds with OMP one. And cherry on top, BLI_task code only uses
about 50% of CPU load, while OMP one was at nearly 100%!
In fact, I suspect OMP code was not properly declaring outside vars,
generating a lot of uneeded locks.
Also, raised the minimum level of subdiv to enable parallelization,
tests here showed that we only start to get significant gain with subdiv
levels of 4, below single threaded one is quicker.
Those three ones were actually giving no significant benefits, in fact
even slowing things down in one case compared to no parallelization at
all (in `BM_mesh_elem_table_ensure()`).
Point being, once more, parallelizing *very* small tasks (like index or
flag setting, etc.) is nearly never worth it.
Also note that we could not easlily use per-item parallel looping in
those three cases, since they are heavily relying on valid
loop-generated index (or are doing non-threadable things like allocation
from a mempool)...
Previously outcome depended on order of edges,
now the longest boundary edges are rotated first,
then the faces connected edges.
This gives more predictable results, allowing regions containing
a vertex fan to be rotated onto the next vertex.
That was a nasty one, Debug build would never have any issue (even tried
with 64 threads!), but Release build would deadlock nearly immediately,
even with only 2 threads!
What happened here (I think) is that gcc optimizer would generate a
specific path endlessly looping when initial value of virtual_lock was
FLT_MAX, by-passing re-assignment from v_no[0] and the atomic cas
completely. Which would have been correct, should v_no[0] not have been
shared (and modified) by multiple threads. ;)
Idea of that (broken) for loop was to avoid completely calling the
atomic cas as long as v_no[0] was locked by some other thread, but...
Guess the avoided/missing memory barrier was the root of the issue here.
Lesson of the evening: Remember kids, do not trust your compiler to
understand all possible threading-related side effects, and be explicit
rather than elegant when using atomic ops!
Side-effect lesson: do check both release and debug builds when messing
with said atomic ops...
Using atomic cas correctly is really hairy... ;)
In this case, the returned value from cas needs to validate *two*
conditions, it must not be FLT_MAX (which is our 'locked' value and
would mean another thread has already locked it), but it also must be
equal to previously stored value...
This means we need two steps per loop here, hence using a 'for' loop
instead of a 'while' one now.
Note that collisions are (as expected) very rare, less than 1 for 10k
typically, so did not catch the issue initially (also because I was
mostly working with release build to check on performances...).
`BM_mesh_normals_update` was converted from OMP to new parallel iterator code,
basic test with heavily subdivided cube (24.5k faces) gives:
- old OMP code: average 10ms per run.
- new BLI_task code: average 6ms per run.
So new code seems to be easily 40% quicker, in addition to getting rid of OMP. ;)

It merely uses the new thread-safe iterators system of mempool, quite
straight forward.
Note that to avoid possible confusion with two void pointers as
parameters of the callback, a dummy opaque struct pointer is used
instead for the second parameter (pointer generated by iteration over
mempool), callback functions must explicitely convert it to expected
real type.
Also added a basic gtest for this new feature.
This will allow threaded tasks to 'consume' all mempool items in
parallel tasks, each one working on a whole chunk at once (to reduce
concurrency managing overhead).
Adapted from http://www.pixelbeat.org/programming/gcc/static_assert.html.
Note that this macro just discards error message, so error when building
is much less nice than with gcc's _Static_assert... But error log will
point to right place in code, so should still be OK.
Pixel size was not initial early enough. For first time this was not a problem
because the bevel amount starts at 0 then, and after the mouse moves the pixel
size is initialized. For the second time the bevel amount starts at a non-zero
value, and it failed then.
These and other non-RGB passes should always be stored as full float, the
precision loss is too unpredictable.
Related to T53381, but that one is about file output nodes where we don't
know the type of data being saved currently.
Reason is motsly that dealing with type conversion in calling code is
not great, makes it less readable, and can generate hidden bugs in case
original type changes and atomic primitive calls are not updated
accordingly...
This reverts commit d749320e3b.
It's possible the container struct is larger,
we could do sizeof checks that falls back to memmove
but rather avoid complicating things.
Just removing it, such cases are not bottlenecks and not worth the
complication of doing real threading with own BLI_task.
Other (remaining) usages may be relevant, need case-by-case check.
This was expected behavior for over-exposured lamps when the mode was originally
created for Tears of Steel. Turns out, there could be really bad green screen in
real production which will only have green (or rather screen) channel over
exposured.
Tweaked condition now so we use least bright channel to see if the area has
proper exposure or not.
Seems to work fine in tests, but further tweaks are possible.
CUDA 9.0.176 apparently caused some slow down on high-end Pascal cards that can be mitigated by increasing the number of registers. See https://developer.blender.org/F1142667 for a detailed comparison.

This commit introduces the following changes:
* Modified the poll callback on the "Update Paths" operator for bones
so that it only checks if there are bones that have motion paths
(instead of checking whether the active bone has paths).
This makes it easier to update paths without having to first select one
that has them - useful when the paths are all on hidden/hard-to-select bones.
* Add a readonly property, "has_motion_paths" to the animviz.motion_path
RNA struct, providing easier access to the internal flag used above.
This makes it possible for the UI to display the "Update" button without
having to check various bones for motion paths.
Notes:
* The flag being used in these changes already existed, and was only really
intended for internal use. However, since it was already used in many places
for determining if auto-update of all bone paths was needed (e.g. after certain
editing ops), it should be safe to use here too.
* The update_paths operator currently bakes all paths when activated, so there's
currently no loss of functionality with changing to not checking if the active
bone has any paths (e.g. we couldn't only update the active bone only either).
That is still listed as a todo in the code.
There were 2 issues here (first was the one reported):
1) Curve shape changes if multiple consecutive pairs of keyframes
are selected. The problem is that after the first pair is handled,
subsequent pairs get sampled on the basis of the modified curve.
2) With multiple separate "islands" selected, unselected points in between
would get ignored, causing the entire curve to get sampled.
Previously, Mikktspace just bucketed the vertices based on one spatial coordinate and then ran full pairwise comparisons inside each bucket.
However, since models are three-dimensional, the bucketing has a massive false-positive rate, and since pairwise comparison is O(n^2), the merging process is very slow.
But, since we only care about exactly identical vertices, there is a much more efficient approach - we can just hash all values belonging to each vertex and form buckets based on the hash.
Since the hash has 32 bits and considers all values, false-positives are very unlikely - and since both hashing and the radixsort that's used for bucketing are O(n), both asymptotical and
real-world performance (as well as code complexity) are significantly improved.
No color pass because it's hard to define what to use as color in a volume.

Previously we picked one of the RGB channels with equal probability, but this
works poorly in a dense volume after many bounces. Now we take into account
the throughput and single scattering albedo.
This makes it a little more practical to do brute force SSS with volumes, but
is still very inefficient because we do direct light sampling at every volume
bounce even when inside an opaque mesh. In theory there could be a light inside
the mesh so we can't automatically disable direct lighting.
In fact this was an existing issue when exceeding the number of available
closure, but it's more common now that we set the number to 0 for shadows

The algorithm averages normals from nearby surfaces. It uses the same
sampling strategy as BSSRDFs, casting rays along the normal and two
orthogonal axes, and combining the samples with MIS.
The main concern here is that we are introducing raytracing inside
shader evaluation, which could be quite bad for GPU performance and
stack memory usage. In practice it doesn't seem so bad though.
Note that using this feature can easily slow down renders 20%, and
that if you care about performance then it's better to use a bevel
modifier. Mainly this is useful for baking, and for cases where the
mesh topology makes it difficult for the bevel modifier to work well.

This is a prequisite for getting host memory allocation to work. There appears
to be no support for 3D textures using host memory. The original version of
this code was written by Stefan Werner for D2056.
Some drivers may report very large allocation sizes, which could cause
unnecessary memory usage. This is now limited to 2gb which should
still be enough to get the needed performance benefits without waste.
The legacy algorithm only considers two adjacent points when computing
the bezier handles, which cannot produce satisfactory results. Animators
are often forced to manually adjust all curves.
The new approach instead solves a system of equations to trace a cubic spline
with continuous second derivative through the whole segment of auto points,
delimited at ends by keyframes with handles set by other requirements.
This algorithm also adjusts Vector handles that face ordinary bezier keyframes
to achieve zero acceleration at the Vector keyframe, instead of simply pointing
it at the adjacent point.

This fix enables the usage of bbones easing parameters for edit and pose mode seperately. This allows animators to take advantage of the functionality and may eliminate confusion as the parameters now behave similar to other bbone parameters.
Note that splitting the parameters between the modes effectively creates a new parameter set. Blend files of previous versions do not contain this information and will have the values set to 0 on load. As it broke backwards compatibility for pose mode values anyway, I also took the liberty to rename the easing parameters in some places for consistency (which breaks edit mode values).

cmake's link_directories will supply forward slashes for the search paths, the msvc linker has some issues with that, while it will search for the needed libs just fine, the incremental linker gets fed forward slashes for some libs, while the previous binary has backward slashes in it's metadata, the linker assumes obj files got added and performs a full link instead of an incremental link. This change brings down the link time with newer msvc versions for a trivial edit down from a few minutes to a few seconds.
- Only basis balls are exported, as they represent the resulting mesh.
As a result the mesh is written to Alembic using the name of the basis
ball.
- MetaBalls are converted to a mesh on every frame, then an
AbcMeshWriter is used to write that mesh to Alembic.
When the mesh changed topology but kept the vertex count the same, it would
result in a corrupt mesh. By checking the face & loop counts too, this has
become less likely.
I've checked IPolyMeshSchema::isConstant(), but it returns true even when
we see that the mesh changed topology.
Recent addition of 'reinsert' didn't match logic for ghash API.
Rename to BLI_heap_node_value_update,
also add BLI_heap_insert_or_update since it's a common operation.
The single byte version of hash_data was casting from unsigned char
instead of signed.
This didn't cause any errors since the result of each aren't compared.
Even so, better keep them matching.
Basically reverts rB65c4149f203610 and fixes the issue in a better way.
Keymaps using the removed operator will be affected. Switching header
from top to bottom now has the shortcut F5, just like switching other
regions.
We are already using the AO distance, so might as well offer this extra
control over the intensity. Useful when an interior scene is supposed to
be significantly darker than the background shader.
Make it a tag for relations update function instead, since we will not be able
to easily rebuild relations, and we wouldn't be able to iterate all scenes.
This is a part of mowing depsgraph to be per-workspace/layer in 2.8 branch.
This replaces usage of generic PLACEHOLDEWR with string lookup with more
explicit opcode. This should make it faster to build dependency graph by
avoiding string comparisons when it's not needed.
There should be no user measurable different.
Was never actually used and implementation seems to be slow: we shouldn't be
doing per-node evaluation hash lookups, adds too much overhead. We can instead
store statistics in the node itself, and maybe even group them somehow.
Ideally such a statistics should be user-friendly so riggers and animators
can see exactly what's happening.
The test will leak CPU devices, but is all passing other than that.
Leak will be fixed shortly.
P.S. Committing code refactor without running regression tests, tsk ;)
* Remove tex_* and pixels_* functions, replace by mem_*.
* Add MEM_TEXTURE and MEM_PIXELS as memory types recognized by devices.
* No longer create device_memory and call mem_* directly, always go
through device_only_memory, device_vector and device_pixels.
Was using an edge hash for triangle -> edge lookups,
updating triangle indices for each edge-rotation.
Replace this with half-edge which can rotate edges much more simply,
writing triangles back once the solution has been calculated.
Gives ~33% speedup in own tests.
Progressive refine undoes memory saving from save buffers, so enabling
both does not make much sense. Previously enabling progressive refine
would disable denoising, but it should be the other way around since
denoise actually affects the render result.
Includes some code refactor for progressive refine render buffers, and
avoids recomputing tiles for each progressive sample.
CPU rendering will be restricted to a BVH2, which is not ideal for raytracing
performance but can be shared with the GPU. Decoupled volume shading will be
disabled to match GPU volume sampling.
The number of CPU rendering threads is reduced to leave one core dedicated to
each GPU. Viewport rendering will also only use GPU rendering still. So along
with the BVH2 usage, perfect scaling should not be expected.
Go to User Preferences > System to enable the CPU to render alongside the GPU.

While such drivers will generally get evaluated too late to be of much
use during animations, it can still be useful to allow using drivers to
control a whole bunch of NLA strip properties (i.e. syncing NLA strip
timings via a single property/control).
Keyframe insertion however is still not allowed on these properties
(and an error message will now be displayed when trying to do so,
instead of silently failing), as it is useless.
Loading blender with an unknown name would interpret it as a blend file.
This meant passing `--arg` arguments would end up creating new
blend files which could be confusing if you made a typo on a command

Now check the string has a blend file extension,
exiting if it doesn't.
This only applies when LIB_ID_CREATE_NO_ALLOCATE flag is used and guarantees
that non-memset-zero memory can be used (or, that same memory chunk might be

Changes from D2876 by @meta-androcto /w own edits
- Move view axis & camera selection into "Viewpoint" menu.
- Move render border and clipping into border menu.
- Move Camera operators into own menu.
- View Selected was located in two menus,
Only expose the "use_all_regions" version when quad-view is used.
This is fully unpredictable for artists when one damaged object makes the whole
scene to render incorrectly. This involves two main changes:
- It is not enough to check triangle bounds to be valid when building BVH.
This is because triangle might have some finite vertices and some non-finite.
- We shouldn't add non-finite triangle area to the overall area for MIS.
Cyclic extrapolation is implemented as an f-curve modifier, so this
technically violates abstraction separation and is something of a hack.
However without such behavior achieving smooth looping with cyclic
extrapolation is extremely cumbersome.
The new behavior is applied when the first modifier is Cyclic
extrapolation in Repeat or Repeat with Offset mode without
using influence, repeat count or range restrictions.
This change in behavior means that curve handles have to be updated
when the modifier is added, removed or its options change. Due to the
way code is structured, it seems it requires a helper link to the
containing curve from the modifier object.

It seems that `typestr` does not always define the final size of the element. And it varies by operating system.
Then use the `typestr` only to know the itemtype is `float` type or not.
Border and circle select wait for input by default.
This commit uses bool properties on the operators instead of
magic number (called "gesture_mode").
Keymaps that define 'deselect' for border/circle select
begin immediately, exiting when on button release.
User count of scenes was inconsistant, screens only have 'user_one' kind
of owning over scenes, which means they shall never increment or
decrement their real user count. And usually, scenes have no real user
at all.
Would happen during panel's refresh drawing, if drawing code had to adjust
final panel position compared to the initial one computed based on the
mouse coordinates, and user had dragged the floating panel around.
Issue fixed by adjusting stored mouse coordinates once final panel
position is known, such that they would directly generate those
coordinates. that way, the basic offset applied to those stored mouse
coordinates during panel dragging is valid, and recreating panel based
on those won't make it jump in screen.
Note that panel will still jump in case user dragged it partially out of
view - we could prevent that, but imho it's better to keep that
behavior, since redraw can generate a popup of different size, which
could end up with a totally out-of-view one...
Hopefully this fix does not break anything else!
Was a mistake in optimization commit which was disconnecting closures and nodes
which does not make sense for volume output.
OSL script we can't ignore and can't currently know in advance if it's a proper
volume shader or not. So we never disconnect OSL nodes from volume output.
This is a good candidate for corrective release.
This patch goes away form using C++ RNA during tangent space calculation which
avoids quite a bit of overhead. Now all calculation is done using data which
already exists in ccl::Mesh. This means, tangent space is now calculated from
triangles, which doesn't seem to be any different (at least as far as regression
tests are concerned).
One of the positive sides is that this change makes it possible to move tangent
space calculation from blender/ to render/ so we will have Cycles standalone
supporting tangent space.

This change affects CUDA GPUs not connected to a display or connected to a
display but supporting compute preemption so that the display does not
freeze. I couldn't find an official list, but compute preemption seems to be
only supported with GTX 1070+ and Linux (not GTX 1060- or Windows).
This helps improve small tile rendering performance further if there are
sufficient samples x number of pixels in a single tile to keep the GPU busy.
Best guess is that cuInit() somehow interferes with the AMD graphics driver
on Windows, and switching the initialization order to do OpenCL first seems
to solve the issue.
* Use common TextureInfo struct for all devices, except CUDA fermi.
* Move image sampling code to kernels/*/kernel_*_image.h files.
* Use arrays for data textures on Fermi too, so device_vector<Struct> works.
Instead of trying to be clever with swaps and lazy updating the weight
data, simply recalculate one single array. To improve performance, use
threading for that.
Two issues here:
- Checking table size to be non-zero is not a proper way to go here. This is
because we first resize the table and then fill it in. So it was possible that
non-initialized table was used.
Trickery with using temporary memory and then doing table.swap() might work,
but we can not guarantee that table size will be set after the data pointer.
- Mutex guard was useless, because every thread was using own mutex. Need to
make mutex guard static so all threads are using same mutex.
The issue was caused by light sample being evaluated to nan at some point.
This is root of the cause which is to be fixed, but is very hard to trace down
especially via ssh (the issue only happens on AVX2 release build). Will give it
a closer look when back to my AVX2 machine.
For until then this is a good check to have anyway, it corresponds to what's
happening in regular radiance sum.
Camera clipping was left to default values, which won't work well for
very large (or small) objects. Now recompute valid clipping start/end
based on boundingbox of rendered data, and final location of camera.
This makes brush influence into a tube instead of a sphere.
It can be used along the outline of a mesh to adjust it's silhouette.
Note that all this takes advantage of changes from vertex paint,
from testing this seems useful so exposing from the brush options.
This behavior makes more sense for sculpt, less so for painting.
Restores non PBVH behavior, adding `BKE_pbvh_find_nearest_to_ray` -
similar to ray-cast except it finds the closest point on the surface.
The work size is still very conservative, and this doesn't help for progressive
refine. For that we will need to render multiple tiles at the same time. But this
should already help for denoising renders that require too much memory with big
tiles, and just generally soften the performance dropoff with small tiles.

This was originally done with the first sample in the kernel for better
performance, but it doesn't work anymore with atomics. Any benefit was
very minor anyway, too small to measure it seems.
Restoring weights is problematic when the stroke overlaps its mirror.
It's better to simply compute the new weight based on the saved data
rather than restoring things, and check that the change is monotonic.
This way is also closer to how things worked before the merge.
This secondary accumulation option accumulated brush falloff.
The same option in image painting accumulates color
as vertex paiht 'Spray' does.
Giving this option different behavior for vertex paint seems strange.
Also this is basically increasing falloff over time.
Remove the new code, expose existing 'Spray' as 'Accumulate'
to match other paint modes.
The issue here is that we can not read scale from socket when determining
dependent area of interest. This area will depend on current pixel. Now fall
back to more stupid but reliable thing: if scale size input is connected to some
nodes, we use the whole frame as area of interest.
This makes vertex paint match image painting more closely.
- Add falloff shape option sphere/circle
where sphere uses a 3D radius around the cursor and
circle uses a 2D radius (projected), like previous releases.
- Add normal angle option so you can control the falloff.
- Add Cull option, to paint onto faces pointing away.
Disabling normals, culling and using circle falloff
allows you to paint through the mesh.
When painting with spray disabled - we need to re-apply
on top of the original each time.
Applying the soc-2016-pbvh-painting branch removed this.
While I'd added back a simple previous weight array,
this won't work when multiple groups are painted at once.
This is most pronounced in Auto-Normalize + Multi-Paint. Unlike
vertex paint, the weights being painted on in weight paint mode
don't necessarily correspond to the weight actually stored in
any one vertex group, and may instead be a computed aggregate.
This restores original code behavior lost in rB4f616c93f7cb.
Note that this tool seems like it might need to be rewritten
since results are quite strange.
Projecting on the view vector gives a small improvement though.
paint_vertex.c was getting too big, move all code unrelated to
mode switching and modal painting into their own files.
Also replace vertex-color operators region redraw tag /w notifiers.

One crucial thing here: OpenVDB shoudl be compiled WITHOUT
OPENVDB_ENABLE_3_ABI_COMPATIBLE flag. This is how OpenVDB's Makefile is
configured and it's not really possible to detect this for a compiled library.
If we ever want to support that option, we need to add extra CMake argument and
use old version 3 API everywhere.
Even if pointer assignment may be atomic, it does not prevent reordering
and other nifty compiler tricks, we need a memory barrier to ensure not
only that transferring pointer from wip array to final one is atomic,
but also that all previous writing to memory are “flushed” to
(visible by) all CPUs...
Thanks @sergey for finding the potential (though quite unlikely) issue.
It has been deprecated since at least macOS 10.9 and fully removed in 10.12.
I am unsure if we should remove it only in 2.8. But you cannot build blender with it supported when using a modern xcode version anyway so I would tend towards just removing it also for 2.79 if that ever happens.

For the first bounce we now give each BSDF or BSSRDF a minimum sample weight,
which helps reduce noise for a typical case where you have a glossy BSDF with
a small weight due to Fresnel, but not necessarily small contribution relative
to a diffuse or transmission BSDF below.
We can probably find a better heuristic that also enables this on further
bounces, for example when looking through a perfect mirror, but I wasn't able
to find a robust one so far.
Similar to what we did for area lights previously, this should help
preserve stratification when using multiple BSDFs in theory. Improvements
are not easily noticeable in practice though, because the number of BSDFs
is usually low. Still nice to eliminate one sampling dimension.
Previously the Sobol pattern suffered from some correlation issues that
made the outline of objects like a smoke domain visible. This helps
simplify the code and also makes some other optimizations possible.
Now we replace O(N^2) computational complexity with O(N) extra memory penalty.
Memory is much cheaper than CPU time. Keep in mind, memory penalty is like
4 megabytes per 1M vertices.
Tentative fix, since I cannot reproduce thenissue for some reason here
on linux.
Core of the problem is pretty clear though, thanks to Germano Cavalcante
(@mano-wii): another thread could try to use looptris data after worker
one had allocated it, but before it had actually computed looptris.
So now, we use a temp 'wip' pointer to store looptris being computed
(since this is protected by a mutex, other threads will have to wait on
it, no possibility for them to double-compute the looptris here).
This should probably be backported to 2.79a if done.
The issue was caused by threading conflict around looptris: it was possible
that DM will return non-NULL but non-initialized array of looptris.
Thanks Campbell for second pair of eyes!
Use triple buffer by default now on all platforms, remaing ones where:
* Mesa: seems to have been working well for a long time now, and not using
it gives issues with the latest Mesa 17.2.0.
* Windows software OpenGL: no longer supported since OpenGL 2.1 requirement
was introduced.
* OS X with thousands of colors: this option was removed in OS X 10.6, and
that's our minimum requirement.
When 2x loops have different number of vertices,
the distribution for vertices fan-fill depended on the loop order
and was often lop-sided.
This caused noticeable inconstancies depending on the input
since edge-loops are flipped to match each others winding order.
Use more watertight and robust intersection test.
It uses now ray to triangle intersection, but it's all fine because segment was
covering the whole bounding box anyway.
Mainly when object origin is not at the geometry bounding box center.
Seems to be straightforward to fix, hopefully it doesn't break some obscure case
where this was a desired behavior.
The issue here was that removing datablock from main database will poke editors
update, which includes buttons context to free users of texture. Since Cycles
will free datablocks from job thread, it might crash Blender since main thread
might be in the middle of drawing.
Solved by exposing extra arguments to bpy.data.foo.remove() which indicates
whether we want to perform ID user count and interface updates. While scripts
shouldn't be using those normally, this is the only way to allow Cycles to skip
interface update when removing datablock.

The issue was caused by render result identifier only consist of scene name,

On the one hand, there are quite some areas in Blender where we need identifier
to be unique to properly address things. Usually this is required for sub-data
of IDs, like bones. On another hand, it's not that hard to support this
particular case and avoid possible frustration.
The idea is, we add library name to render identifier for linked scenes. We use

The issue was caused by operator redo which frees all object's evaluated data,
including bounding box. This bounding box can not be reconstructed properly
without full curve evaluation (need to at least convert font to nurbs, which is
not cheap already).
There is absolute no reason to have such an indentation level, it only causes
readability and maintainability issues. It is really simple to make code more

Previously we used a 1D sequence to select a light, and another 2D sequence
to sample a point on the light. For multiple lights this meant each light
would get a random subset of a 2D stratified sequence, which is not
guaranteed to be stratified anymore.
Now we use only a 2D sequence, split into segments along the X axis, one for
each light. The samples that fall within a segment then each are a stratified
sequence, at least in the limit. So for example for two lights, we split up
the unit square into two segments [0,0.5[ x [0,1[ and [0.5,1[ x [0,1[.
This doesn't make much difference in most scenes, mainly helps if you have a
few large area lights or some types of HDR backgrounds.
This causes render differences in some scenes, for example fishy_cat

Previous fix wasn't working correct for certain compiler and CPU intrinsics
mode, causing quite some crashes.
This should be a safer fix, which is closer in behavior to previous release
but which should still fix issues with robust curve intersection.
Note: this commit seems to work as expected (also with transform
snapping etc.). However, it is rather unsafe - not enough for 2.79 at
least, unless we get much more testing on it. It also depends on three
previous ones.
Note that using a global lock here is far from ideal, we should rather
have a lock per DM, but that will do for now, whole DM thing is doomed
to oblivion anyway in 2.8.
Also, we may need a `DM_DIRTY_LOOPTRIS` dirty flag at some point. Looks
like we can survive without it for now though... Probably because cached
looptris are never copied accross DM's?
This was... horribly wrong, CDDM will often *not* need to allocate

Also, remove `DM_get_looptri_array`, that one is useless currently,

Apparently with Maya in a certain configuration, it's possible to have an

properly, instead of crashing on a null pointer.
For example, if you have two keyframes:
k1 = 1px, k2 = 10px
it was doing:
1px, 9px, 8px, ..., 3px, 2px, 10px
instead of:
1px, 2px, 3px, ..., 8px, 9px, 10px
- Vertex only meshes never restored their selection history.
- Select history was cleared on the source instead of the target.
Simple Optimizations:
- Avoid O(n^2) linked list looping that checked the entire list before
adding elements (NULL values in the source array to prevent dupes).
- Re-use vert & edge lookup tables instead of allocating new ones.
For some specific pipelines (e.g., holographic rendering) you can easily
need over a million frames (1k * 1k view angles).
It seems a corner case, but there is no real reason not to allow users
doing that.
That said we do loose subframe precision in the highest frame range. Which can
affect motionblur. The current maximum sub-frame precision we have is 16.
While the previous limit of 500k frames has a precision of 32.

To be backported to 2.79
Issue was nasty hidden one, the dual status (mix of local and linked)

Here, remapping process was considering obdata pointer of proxies as
indirect usage, hence clearing the 'LIB_TAG_EXTERN' of obdata pointer.
That would make savetoblend code not store any 'lib placeholder' for
obdata data-block, which was hence lost on next file read.
Another (probably better) solution here would be to actually consider
obdata of proxies are fully indirect usage, and simply reassign proxies
from their linked object's obdata on file read...
However, that change shall be safer for now, probably good for 2.79 too.
Would be nice to be able to catch this with assert as well, will see what would
be the best way to do this/.\
Need to verify with Mai that this solves crash for her and maybe consider
porting this to 2.79.
We need to make sure we can store all volume closures for all objects in volume

Some typical tests gave speedup of ~1.4x - 1.7x.
For example, if you have two keyframes:
k1 = 1px, k2 = 10px
it was doing:
1px, 9px, 8px, ..., 3px, 2px, 10px
instead of:
1px, 2px, 3px, ..., 8px, 9px, 10px
For some specific pipelines (e.g., holographic rendering) you can easily
need over a million frames (1k * 1k view angles).
It seems a corner case, but there is no real reason not to allow users
doing that.
That said we do loose subframe precision in the highest frame range. Which can
affect motionblur. The current maximum sub-frame precision we have is 16.
While the previous limit of 500k frames has a precision of 32.

Own error in recent type checks, in many cases the 'idname'
is used for the struct identifier, not the 'identifier'
which is the Python class name in this context.
Previous version was trying to do a quick and simple process in the case
we were only considering smooth/flat status of faces.
Thing is, even then, the algorithm was not actually working in all
possible situations, e.g. two smooth faces having a single vertex in
common, but no common edges, would not have split that vertex, leading
to incorrect shading etc.
So now, tweaked slightly our split normals code to be able to generate
lnor spaces even when autosmooth is disabled, and we always go that way
when splitting faces.
Using smooth fans from clnor spaces is not only the only way to get 100%
correct results, it also makes face split code simpler.
One problem is that it was always using __mm_blendv_ps emulation even if the
instruction was supported. The other that the emulation function was wrong.
Thanks a lot to Ray Molenkamp for tracking this one down.
Apparently with Maya in a certain configuration, it's possible to have an
Alembic object without schema in the Alembic file. This is now handled
properly, instead of crashing on a null pointer.
This affects the curve display color setting, but is really intended
for future per-curve options.
The id_data reference in the created rna pointers refers to the object
even if the curve is actually owned by its action, which is somewhat
inconsistent, but the same problem can be found in existing code.
Fixing it requires changes in animdata filter API.
Previously it was returning short, which was really easy to (a) compare against
non-ID type value (b) forget to handle some specific value in switch statement.
Both issues happened in the nearest past, so it's time to tighten some nuts
here.
Most of the change related on silencing strict compiler warning now, but there
is also one tricky aspect: ID_NLA is not in the IDType enum. So there is still
cast to short to handle that switch. If someone has better ideas how to deal
with this please go ahead :)
- Vertex only meshes never restored their selection history.
- Select history was cleared on the source instead of the target.
Simple Optimizations:
- Avoid O(n^2) linked list looping that checked the entire list before
adding elements (NULL values in the source array to prevent dupes).
- Re-use vert & edge lookup tables instead of allocating new ones.
Issue was nasty hidden one, the dual status (mix of local and linked)
of proxies striking again.
Here, remapping process was considering obdata pointer of proxies as
indirect usage, hence clearing the 'LIB_TAG_EXTERN' of obdata pointer.
That would make savetoblend code not store any 'lib placeholder' for
obdata data-block, which was hence lost on next file read.
Another (probably better) solution here would be to actually consider
obdata of proxies are fully indirect usage, and simply reassign proxies
from their linked object's obdata on file read...
However, that change shall be safer for now, probably good for 2.79 too.
Don't use quick sort for small arrays, bubble sort works way faster for small
arrays due to cache coherency. This is what qsort() from libc is doing actually.
We can also experiment unrolling some extra small arrays, for example 3 and 4

This reduces tangent space calculation for dragon from 3.1sec to 2.9sec.

Fishy cat benchmark was rendering with wrong shadows. Cause is unclear,

This was needed when we accessed OSL closure memory after shader evaluation,
which could get overwritten by another shader evaluation. But all closures
are immediatley converted to ShaderClosure now, so no longer needed.
While unlikely to have had any serious effects because of limited use, the
previous implementation was not actually atomic due to a data race and
incorrectly coded CAS loop. We also had duplicates of this code in a few
places, it's now been moved to a single location with all other atomic
operations.
We need to make sure we can store all volume closures for all objects in volume
stack. This is a bit tricky to detect what would be the "nestness" level of
volumes so for now use maximum possible stack depth. Might cause some slowdown,
but better to give reliable render output than to fail quickly.

Commit b6d7cdd3ce changed how the mesh data

Instead of directly reading the mesh vertices (which aren't animated any

When a mesh changes its number of vertices during the animation,
Blender rebuilds the DerivedMesh, after which the materials weren't

This implements Arvo's "Stratified sampling of spherical triangles". Similar to how we sample rectangular area lights, this is sampling triangles over their solid angle. It does significantly improve sampling close to the triangle, but doesn't do much for more distant triangles. So I added a simple heuristic to switch between the two methods. Unfortunately, I expect this to add render time in any case, even when it does not make any difference whatsoever. It'll take some benchmarking with various scenes and hardware to estimate how severe the impact is and if it is worth the change.

Also, we may need a `DM_DIRTY_LOOPTRIS` dirty flag at some point. Looks

looptris are never copied accross DM's?
This was... horribly wrong, CDDM will often *not* need to allocate

Old bevel 'Clamp overlap' code was very naive: just limit amount
to half edge length. This uses more accurate (but not perfect)
calculations for the max amount before (many) geometry collisions

bevel widths now. But that can be fixed by turning off clamp overlap

This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from

This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by

Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had

It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'

Two main things here:
1. Replace all unsafe for #line directive characters into a single loop,
avoiding multiple iterations and multiple temporary strings created.
2. Don't merge token char by char but calculate start and end point and
then copy all substring at once.
This gives about 15% speedup of source processing time. At this point
(with all previous commits from today) we've shrinked down compiled
sources size from 108 MB down to ~5.5 MB and lowered processing time
from 4.5 sec down to 0.047 sec on my laptop running Linux (this was a
constant time which Blender will always spent first time loading kernel,
even if we've got compiled clbin).
Add a safe version of normalize since all uses of normalize
did zero length checks, move this into a function.
Also avoid unnecessary conversion.
Gives minor speedup here (approx 3-5%).
Basically gather lines as-is during traversal, avoiding allocating
memory for all the lines in headers.
Brings additional performance improvement abut 20%.
The idea here is that it is possible to mark certain include statements
as "precompiled" which means all subsequent includes of that file will
be replaced with an empty string.
This is a way to deal with tricky include pattern happening in single
program OpenCL split kernel which was including bunch of headers about
10 times.
This brings preprocessing time from ~1sec to ~0.1sec on my laptop.
The idea is to re-use files which were already processed. Gives about 4x speedup
of processing time (~4.5sec vs 1.0sec) on my laptop for the whole OpenCL kernel.
For users it will mean lower delay before OpenCL rendering might start.

Even strands that were excluded by the density texture were being added
to the DM passed to cloth, but these ended up having some invalid data,
because they were not fully constructed.
This simply excludes `UNEXISTED` particles from the DM generation, as
would be expected.
Note that fix is not perfect, systematically make refcounting of all IDs
assigned to node's id pointer, which breaks the 'do not refcount
scene/object/text datablocks' principle...
But besides that principle being far from ideal in general, it becomes
pretty much impossible to apply when using //generic// ID pointer,
unless we add some kind of type data to that pointer somehow.
So for now, better to live with that, than having broken usercount.
The purpose of the keymap strings is probably for un-embossed menu items

Moving the ray_start_local to the new position does not lose as much precision as moving the ray_org_local to the corresponding position.
The problem of inaccuracy is within the functions: `bvhtree_ray_cast_data_precalc` and` fast_ray_nearest_hit`. And not directly in the values of the rays.
The way we use it, UI_PRECISION_FLOAT_MAX is actually + 1 to get total
number of digits, and float only has 7 meaningful digits, so that define
shall be at 6.
GCC seems to detect uninitialized into function calls now, but then isn't
always smart enough to see that it is actually initialized. Disabling this
warning entirely seems a bit too much, so initialize a bit more now.
This commit unifies the flattened texture slot names for bindless and regular CUDA textures. Texture indices are now identical across all CUDA architectures, where before Fermi used different indices, which lead to problems when rendering on multi-GPU setups mixing Fermi with newer hardware.
Hopefully fix it actually, at least could not reproduce it anymore with
that changen, but Was already quite hard to trigger before.
We need a memory barrier at this allocation, otherwise it might happen
after preview gets added to done queue, so preview could end up being
freed twice, leading to crash.
Change the implementation so it no longer takes over the mouse cursor motion
from the OS, instead only move it when warping, similar to Windows and X11.
Probably the reason it was not done this way originally is that you then get
a 500ms delay after warping, but we can use a trick to avoid that and get much
smoother mouse motion than before.
While drawing nice 'rounded' values is OK also for 'low precision'
editing like dragging and such, it's quite an issue when you type in a
precise value, validate, edit again the value, and find a rounded
version of it instead of what you typed in!
So now, *only when entering textedit of num buttons*, we always get the highest
reasonable precision for floats (and use exponential notation when
values are too low or too high, to avoid tremendous amounts of zero's).
Tweaked the path radiance summing and alpha to accommodate for possible contribution of
light by transparent surface bounces happening prior to shadow catcher intersection.
This commit will change the way how shadow catcher results looks when was behind semi
transparent object, but the old result seemed to be fully wrong: there were big artifacts
when alpha-overing the result on some actual footage.
Since we added auto DPI on Linux, on some systems the UI draws smaller than before
due to the monitor reporting DPI values like 88. Blender font drawing gives quite
blurry results for such slightly smaller DPI, apparently because the builtin font
isn't really designed for such small font sizes. As a workaround this clamps the
auto DPI to minimum 96, since the main case we are interested in supporting is
high DPI displays anyway.

This is a different fix for the issue from D2088, preserving backwards compatibility
for IK stretching. The main problem with this patch is that this new behavior has
been there for a year, so it may break rigs created since then which rely on the new
IK stretch behavior.

Revise the logic here to be more robust when keyframes with
similar-but-different frame numbers (e.g. 70.000000 vs 70.000008)
would cause the search to go into an infinite loop, as the same
keyframe was repeatedly found (and skipped).
Tweak the bias from the previous fix a bit to be more backwards compatible in
some scene. In the end which way we round is quite arbitrary, but keeping the
case where the texture coordinate is exactly zero the same seems better.
The option has always (un)set the "Overwrite" flag on all strips. Calling
it "Override" seems misleading, since even when unchecking it, it overrides
whatever was set on the selected strips. It really just (un)sets the
"Overwrite" flag, and now it is also labeled as such.
In the reported example it seemed reasonable to apply this change.
But it causes a much more common case (selecting projections)
to be split into 2x islands.
Resolves T50970
This makes sense when we want to avoid float precision error
for near co-linear edges. OTOH, this is an arbitrary decision,
so keep functions separate.
That problem occurs because of the imprecision of `short int` (16 bits).
The 3d coordinates are converted to 2d, and when they are off the screen, their values can exceed 32767! (max short int value)
One quick solution is to use float instead of short
The snap code is actually a little tricky. I want to make some arithmetic simplifications in it
The only similarity between these functions is that both serve to snap.
However their codes are totally different from one another.
So by separating these functions, it:
- removes the need to put several conditions;
- simplifies and
- optimizes the code
* Display a warning above the pose list if the pose library is in an invalid
state (i.e. when it has keyframes but no pose-markers associated with those
keyframes). This warning prompts users to run the "Sanitize Pose Library Action"
operator, which should fix up such issues.
* "Sanitize" operator now creates unique names for each newly create pose
marker it generates, including the frame on which it found the pose
The problem here was that the "frame_start" and "frame_end" RNA properties of
the Stepped FModifier were shadowing/overriding "frame_start" and "frame_end"
properties of the base FModifier. As a result, when the range() callback
for the In/Out parameters (defined as part of the base FModifier) checked
it's start/end properties, they were always still zero, meaning that the
acceptable range for the In/Out parameters was 0 -> 0 = 0.
Note:
If you've got old files with this problem, you'll need to manually click on
the frame_start/end properties to flush out the old values. It's probably
not worth the effort of applying a version patch for this (given that this
modifier is not one of the most often used ones AFAIK).
As with Strip Time, the updates here would get triggered before the
autokeying had a chance to record the unkeyed values, making it impossible
to autokey.
This is something which was reported to work fine by Mai, Benjamin and
confirmed by myself. Disabling this workaround gains us some speedup:

The issue was caused by combination of following factors:
- Clipboard cleanup function will pass node tree as NULL to node free
function.
This is fine on it's own, we don't have tree in clipboard.
- Node free function will call node storage cleanup only when there is
a non-NULL node tree.
This is somewhat weird, because storage cleanup does not take node
tree as argument.
So the solution here: move node storage cleanup outside of check that
node tree is not NULL.
imapaint's clone and canvas are refcounting Image usages.
And particle's editsettings' object and scene seem to be pure runtime
data (they are reset to NULL in readcode), so resetting them to NULL
here as well.
Really, really, really need to get rid of this usercount handling
everywhere, hopefully incomming ID copying rewrite will help sanitize
that mess. But fix was needed for 2.79 release!
The code was somewhat weird: it was first copying border/crop settings from
the "source" scene, then was checking border settings of the current scene
and only then was copying border from "source" scene.
Now we first copy border/crop flags, then copy border from source and then
check whether border is a full-frame.
Auto & aligned handles wouldn't restore to their correct locations.
Note that a more direct fix for the bug is possible
(storing the handle locations to restore on cancel).
But that still gives some odd behavior, see code-comments for details.
The default anisotropic tangent computation could fail in some cases,
leading to NaNs and artifacts. Use a simpler formulation that doesn't
suffer from this.
Unfortunately this means disabling the code that ensures the title
bar is properly scaled with DPI, however better to have that as a
cosmetic issue than Blender being unusable with a lot of Intel GPUs.
The issue was caused by combination of following factors:
- Blender Internal viewport render can not distinguish between which parts of
main database changed, so it does full database re-sync when anything is
tagged for an update.
This way, if any NodeTree (including compositor) is changed, Blender Internal
viewport is tagged for full render database update.
- With old dependency graph, scene-level drivers are evaluated on every
iteration of scene_update_tagged, even if nothing is tagged for an update.
This causes compositor drivers be evaluated quite often.
- Driver evaluation checks whether value was changed, and if so it tags
corresponding ID type as updated (this is what was telling viewport to do
render database update).
This check was quite stupid: current property value was checked against the
one coming from driver expression. This means, if driver value is outside
of the hard limit range of the property, the property will always be
considered updated.
The fix is to compare current property value against clamped value from the
driver.
New dependency graph is tacking root bone into account when building the graph.
This is required in order to get proper dependencies between bones. so we can
reliably use bones as targets from the same rig (and even indirect relations
via external objects). This forces us to tag relations for update when we change
root IK chain bone.
Since relations rebuild is not fully trivial operation, we only do it for
the new dependency graph. In the future it'll be nice to avoid whole graph
rebuild for such cases, but that's mentioned as a TODO.
This situation happens when a file with a text effect sequencer strip is
loaded in Blender < 2.76 and saved. This destroys the effect data, causing
a crash in Blender ≥ 2.76.
d2f748a222 prevented the crash when opening such a file, but accessing
the strip still caused a crash. This commit fixes that by actually
initialising the invalid strip. Of course this still causes data loss, but
that already happened by opening & overwriting the file in Blender < 2.76.
Using an arbitrary face as the source of the UV data is mostly fine, as
vertices on seams will generally map to different parts of the texture
that have the same color.
This is regarding fed853ea78
Some of the functions might have been inlined, but others i don't see
how that was possible (don't think virtual functions can be inlined here).
In any case, better be explicitly optimal in the code.
Clearing of custom bones outline's line thickness was not done at proper
point, wireframe drawing never changes line thickness, only solid draw
with outline does...
Last fix only accounted for direct changes to the RB settings, but
failed for, say, object transformations. This fix accounts for any
change that might invalidate the RB cache.
Fix 9cd6b03187 introduced a bug that
prevented simulation after a cache invalidation (for instance when
changing a setting after simulating). This fixes that.
The problem here was that when a "invalid" path is generated by the panoramic camera, it was tagged
as RAY_TO_REGENERATE with the intention of generating a new path in kernel_buffer_update.
However, since that state was not handled in kernel_queue_enqueue, kernel_buffer_update did not
process the path which resulted in an infinite loop.
Things like missing directories are now properly checked for, rather than
crashing Blender.
This also adds support for relative paths when opening an ABC file.
This makes the last time (`ltime`) stored in the rigid body world (`rbw`)
only be updated once a simulation step actually occurs, this prevents
another simulation step from being solved unless the current time is
exactly one frame after the last cached frame. Thus this prevents the
formation of gaps in the cache, such as seen in T50230.

Currently, trackball rotation sequentially applies rotation across x axis and y axis,
which produces a strange/unusable result on diagonal pointer motion.
This change fixes the problem by using a single axis which is orthogonal
and proportional to mouse delta - matching view-port trackball.
As the title says, the normal wasn't set for the Hair BSDF because it wasn't
needed before. However, the denoiser uses it to store the feature passes, so
it needs to be set now.
Now that some node types may have custom context, we need to handle that
in the (convoluted :| ) UI code of nodes as well.
Reported in T43295 by Gabriel Gazzán (@gab3d), thanks.
`BMO_iter_as_array()` may fill less items than requested in given array,
so we have to update number of items to work on from its returned value,
otherwise code might try to use uninitialized memory.
The original code was doing a sanity check to see if existing index was
out of range. However the comparison was wrong.
So if the previous ct->user (active index of texture node) was larger
than then number of available texture nodes + 1 in the other material,
we would never re-set the index to 0.
Bug introduced on c31f74de6b.
There was an early attempt of fixing this (2b2ac5d3cc) but it was just working
by pure, luck. And failing in cases like the one from this bug report.
Convenience makefile now uses CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE_INIT,
this means you can change the build type of an existing build
and it won't be overwritten when running `make`.
Useful if you want to add debug info to a release build for profiling.
This is a very important, potentially deadly side-effect of this
operator. If something goes wrong, it can save a broken .blend file.
Ideally we could get rid of that operation anyway, once ID management if
fully renewed, but for now would rather keep it around.
Related to T51902.
Fix is a bit ugly, but cannot think of another solution for now, at

Although the original report was about the docs, the real issue was in
the API.
My original commit started from a copy-paste from the Switch
Node. However I don't use custom1 for thew Switch View node.
The docs is slightly incomplete since it would be nice to mention the
views here. Or maybe even expose them via Python. But honestly they are
generated depending on the scene multi-view settings.
If there was any specularity in the Principled BSDF, it would get a sampling
weight of one regardless of its actual impact.
This commit makes Cycles estimate the contribution of the component and adjust
the weighting accordingly, which greatly improves the noise characteristics of
the Principled BSDF in many cases.
Note that this commit might slightly change the brightness of areas when using
MultiGGX and high roughnesses, but the new brightness is more accurate and
closer to the result of Branched Path Tracing. See T51836 for details.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2677
The PDF of the MultiGGX sampling is approximated by the singlescattering GGX
term as well as a scaled diffuse term that makes up for the energy in the
multiscattering component that's missed by GGX.
However, there were two problems with the glossy terms: The diffuse term missed
a normalization factor, and the singlescattering term was not properly scaled
down based on the albedo estimate.
The glass term was completely wrong and has been rewritten. It uses the fresnel
factor to weight reflection vs. refraction and uses the glossy MultiGGX model
for reflection.
For refraction, the correct singlescattering term is now used, and a new
albedo approximation is used that was derived by evaluating GGX albedo for
roughnesses from 0 to 1 and IORs from 1 to 3 and fitting numerical
approximations to it. The resulting model has a mean relative error of 9e-5,
but could probably be simplified without losing noticable accuracy in the
final render.
The improved PDFs help with glossy highlights (due to better light sampling vs.
closure sampling MIS) and fix the situation described in T51836 where mixing
MultiGGX with other closures (as it happens in e.g. the Principled
BSDF) causes incorrect darkening.
This is annoying especially for exporters who do use mesh name, since it
broke any relation with actual Mesh naming in original Blend file.
Unfortunately, we cannot avoid the extra .xxx digits. ;)
It tried to assert that
addons/io_blend_utils/blender_bam-unpacked.whl/__init__.py was loaded when
the io_blend_utils module was imported. However, this happens only on
demand, and not directly when importing the add-on.
*Sigh* One more example of why we should keep ID management handling in
as few places as possible! It's impossible to keep more than a few
places in sync regarding which ID pointer is refcounted etc.
Children where always getting at least one segment of fixed length...
Now fully hidden ones (zero length) get no segment at all.
Note that even very short ones keep getting one 'unit' length segment - would
rather avoid changing that at this point, given how complex children
particles 'length' can get with all kind of modifiers... Think we can
live with that for now anyway.
The crash did not happen yet because we always had proper vmemh defined in
the parent scope.

This is not enough to mutex-guard modification code of integer values,
since this operation is NOT atomic. This is not even safe for a single
byte data types.
For now guarded the getter functions, similar to other functions in
this module.
Ideally we want to switch modification to an atomic operations, so we
wouldn't need any locks in the getters.
'Convert To...' Object operation has very weird effect of actually
working at obdata level, not object level, which means *all* objects
(even unselected/hidden/in other scenes/...) using same obdata will be
converted to new selected type.
IMHO this is very bad behavior, but... not a bug really, so do not
change this for now.
But at least, do not do that when working on some linked data, else it
leaves Blend file in invalid (incoherent) state until next reload.
So workaround for now is to enforce the 'Keep Original' option when some
linked object/obdata is affected by the operation.
Also fixed somewhat broken usercount handling in Curve->Mesh part.
That one was probably not an actual issue, except maybe in some corner
cases (like deleting a linked scene also used by some other linked scene).
Again, better not try to do smart & complex freeing logic outside of
BKE_library area, let's keep spaghetti nitghmare in a single place!
Previous code (same as what `BKE_libblock_free_us()` is doing when
usercount reach 0) was probably OK in that specific case, but still not
good idea, and potentially risky.
Even though in that specific it was probably safe-ish, there is no
guarantee at this point Brush we want to remove are not used somewhere,
better take the slightly slower, much safer `BKE_libblock_delete()` path here.
Eeeeeek!^2 Calling unconditionnaly ID freeing `BKE_libblock_free()` on a

No need to introduce extra entitites without actual need.

Now, when there is no usable neighboring pixel for denoising, the noisy value

Also, negative results are clamped to zero.

Technically not passing all buffers used by a kernel is undefined
behavior. We haven't had any issues with this so far on AMD or
Nvidia, but it's known to be a problem with Intel and we received
a report from AMD that this is a problem on newer hardware, so we
need to make this change at some point.
Unfortunately there a cost to being correct, about 5% for the
benchmark scenes. For low sample counts it's even worse, I've
seen up to 50% slowdown. For the latter case I think adjusting
tile updating logic can help, but not sure what that would look
like yet (it would be just a few lines change however).
Unlike regular path tracing, branched path tracing is usually used with lower
sample counts, at least for primary rays. This means that are less samples for
the GPU to work on in parallel and rendering is slower. As there is less work
overall there is also more inactive threads during rendering with BPT. This
patch makes use of those inactive rays to render branched samples in parallel
with other samples.
Each thread that is preparing for a branched sample will attempt to find an
inactive thread and if one is found the state for the sample is copied to that
thread. Potentially, if there are enough inactive threads, 100s of branched
samples could be generated from the same originating thread and ran in
parallel giving large speed ups.
Gives 70% faster render for pavillion midday scene. 20-60% faster on BMW

Edge collapse was using bounding box center as the point to collapse to.
When collapsing multiple adjacent edges together, this caused
inconsistencies in placement of the collapsed point, depending on the
orientation of the edges in relation to the space axis.
This makes edge collapse use the mean point instead.
The previous outlier heuristic only checked whether the pixel is more than
twice as bright compared to the 75% quantile of the 5x5 neighborhood.
While this detected fireflies robustly, it also incorrectly marked a lot of
legitimate small highlights as outliers and filtered them away.
This commit adds an additional condition for marking a pixel as a firefly:
In addition to being above the reference brightness, the lower end of the
3-sigma confidence interval has to be below it.
Since the lower end approximates how low the true value of the pixel might be,
this test separates pixels that are supposed to be very bright from pixels that
are very bright due to random fireflies.
Also, since there is now a reliable outlier filter as a preprocessing step,
the additional confidence interval test in the reconstruction kernel is no
longer needed.
The problem was that the strokes in the copy-paste buffer could be keeping
dangling pointers to colors that were already freed. Therefore, this commit
makes it so that when copying the strokes, we now make copies of the colors
and put them in a hashtable beside the stroke buffer. This is convenient,
as it saves us having to look up what colours need to be copied over each
time when pasting.
The problem was that newly pasted strokes were still using colours from
the original datablock. As a result, you'd either get an immediate crash,
or if you managed to save the file before it crashed, each stroke would get
reloaded with a dummy colour.
This commit fixes makes it possible to copy/paste strokes between datablocks
again. However, there are still problems when trying to paste across file
boundaries (i.e. copy strokes in one file, paste in another), which the next
commit will address.

This is a minor update add more information on how Blender handles modal

It was never actually used apart from being stored at a construciton time.
This caused some redundancy and ncertanty about which relation type to use
during construciton (often existing types were not close enough to particular
use case).
Made this resilient to unknown types, for now. Supporting specific INT
sockets (through implicit conversion to GPU_FLOAT ones) is considered nice TODO.
Was just keeping the default '1' user from `BKE_libblock_alloc()`,
instead of using correct way to handle extra virtual user needed when we
want to keep unused datablocks around...
Do not call invoke ops from outliner's operations menus. Invoke op would
search again for item under mouse coordinates... when it is invoked!
Means often entry menu you would have clicked would not be over target
item, leading to either nothing or operation being applied to wrong item.
Note: about groups, there is another minor annoyance leading to some
assert - groups have an annoying virtual fake user which breaks
usercount, will see whether this is easily fixable. :|
The idea is to accumulate all new tasks in a thread local queue
first without doing any thread synchronization (aka, locks and
conditional variables) and move those tasks to a scheduler queue
once they are all ready. This way we avoid per-task-pool lock

This is particularly handy when scheduling new dependency graph

This was causing proxies updates on every frame, even if they
do not really change. Additionally, it was causing second round
of armature update when used from inside dupligroup (viewport
ensures all objects from dupligroup are up to date before draw).
It's now less confusing (for example, using nr_of_samples directly,
instead of using 1 / 1 / nr_of_samples). Might also have fixed a bug.
Also added unittests.
The scale matrix must have its homogeneous 'w' (at mat[3][3]) set to the
scale in order to also scale the translations along with it. However, this
also scales the transform matrix's 'w' component, which is not supposed
to happen.
The old default values (start/end frame = 1) could have been an actually
desired setting (for example when exporting a non-animated model). To
make this worse, this was only interpreted as "start/end of the scene" by
the export operator when running interactively, but not when run from
Python.
By choosing INT_MIN as default it's highly unlikely that the interval
[start, end) was intended as actual export range.
This way we always have predictable behavior, especially from the
performance point of view. Additionally, if some bottleneck is found
in stack implementation it'll be easier for us to address.
Yep, that got reported... Was slightly more involved than UI message

Otherwise, NULL final char leaks in and...
Denoising was setting session parameters for every frame, which was detected as
a change and therefore caused a resync.
Since the parameter modification change is only needed for viewport rendering
(which doesn't support denoising anyways) and resyncing after a frame change
(which isn't affected by denoising settings), an easy fix is to just ignore
the denoising parameters like it's currently done with the samples.

Quite astonishing this never got catched before, a lot of particle code
relies on valid value of this flag!!!
The fact that we can end with uninstantiated objects is not expected
currently, but would rather not start chasing all corner cases that may
lead to that situation.
User shall be able to delete uninstantiated objects from Outliner, though!
Properly remap nodes' pointers to copied IDs in copied ntrees.
Note that this only affects root trees, node groups are not concerned
here, since they are assumed to be reusable chunks and hence *not*
duplicated.
The operator is indeed not adding frames but inserting them at the current frame (shifting all subsequent ones). Changed the operator name and description.
Approved by Antonio.
This operator relies on a rather specific context setup, so it shall not
be exposed to user in 'operator search' menu etc.

The Issue
=======
For a long time now MinGW has been unsupported and unmaintained and at this point,
it looks like something that we should just leave behind and move on.
Why Remove
==========
One of the big motivations for MinGW back in the day is that it was free compared to MSVC which was licensed based.
However, now that this is no longer true we have basically stopped updating the need CMake files.
Along with the CMake files, there are several patches to the extern libs needed to make this work. For example, see:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/master/extern/carve/patches/mingw_w64.patch
If we wanted to keep MinGW then we would need to make more custom patches to the external libs and
this is not something our platform maintainers are willing to do.
For example, here is the patches needed to build python: https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-python3
Fixes T51301

We had handling of fully duplicated polygons already, but... absolutely
nothing to sanitize partially merged polygons! This were giving us
totally invalid geometry, with duplicated vertices in single poly,
invalid edges, etc.
Now we do check for invalid loops inside polys, and generate new edges
as needed to get only valid polys.
For some reason this was a nightmare to get running fully OK, playing
with old and new indices is really, really mind breaking.
This feature got lost with new auto-track API,
Added it back by extending frame accessor class. This isn't really
a frame thing, but we don't have other type of accessor here.
Surely, we can use old-style API here and pass mask via region
tracker options for this particular case, but then it becomes much
less obvious how real auto-tracker will access this mask with old
style API.
So seems we do need an accessor for such data, just matter of
finding better place than frame accessor.
It's a bit ugly but I couldn't find a better way to keep fast installs and
correct handling of switching between master and blender2.8 with different
lib directories.
This makes it possible to have an animated / procedurally generated mesh
that starts empty and obtains data in later frames.
Fixes the export of an empty mesh with an Ocean Modifier, as described in
issue T51351.
This allows you to put any kind of animation data on the mesh, and its
shape will be exported on each timekey. Note that this timekey is unrelated
to the animation data (so we don't export on each keyframe, for example).
A practical example is the addition of an animated custom property to
trigger the export of animated mesh data. The mesh data can then be created
from any source, like Python scripts.
Not only is this useful in itself, it also provides a workaround for one
of the two issues described in T51351.
This is written in a custom metadata key, so it isn't shown by utilities
like abcecho or abcls. However, it's still something that's useful to
have available.
Houdini writes vertex data in a different format than Blender does; Houdini
uses "face-varying scope", which means that the vertex colours are indexed
by an ever-increasing number over all vertices of all faces instead of the
vertex index.
I've also merged the read_custom_data_mcols() and read_mcols() functions,
because the latter was only called from the former, and the changes in this
commit would add yet more function parameters to pass.
A big chunk of code was copied between the if and else bodies. By using
a boolean to store whether the c3f_ptr or c4f_ptr should be used, the
in-loop condition is kept as simple as possible.
Note: the angle in bug isn't really reflex - using the vertex normal
for this test isn't always right, but usually is. At any rate,
shouldn't try to put vertex on edge between if a reflex angle.
This was two-fold.
1) The export used viewport settings to obtain the particle cache, rather
than render settings.
2) The child hair writer tried to obtain UV-coordinates from the parent
chair, without checking whether those were available in the first place.
Since we already have a rather advanced PovRay exporter, makes sense to
also nicely display generated 'code'.
Patch by Maurice Raybaud (@mauriceraybaud), thanks!
Cleanup (mostly styling) by @mont29.
Brightness/contrast node was changing color but did not modify alpha
or ensured colors are premultiplied on the output. This was giving
artifacts later on unless alpha was manually converted.
Compositor is supposed to work in premultiplied alpha (except of
some really corner cases) so it makes sense to ensure premultiplied
alpha after brightness/contrast node.
This is now done as an option enabled by default, so we:
(a) Keep compatibility with old files.
(b) Have correct behavior for newly created files.
Later on we can get rid of this option.
We were looping over all vgroups in destination mesh and making string
comparison, for every vgroup of every vertex of merged mesh! Crazy!
Now we simply create a temp mapping of vgroup indices, seriously
simplifies things (and gives significant speedup when merging huge meshes
with lots of vgroups, here with quick stupid test went from 120ms in
vgroup merging to less than 5ms, 25 times quicker!).
Root of the issue here was that two stupid modifiers could create named
vgroup CD layers (vgroup editing ones... shame on me :") ).
Fix that, and added some versionning code to also fix 'corrupted' blend
files created by those so far.
Seems re-loading module invalidates memory pointers by the looks of it,
which gives an error on the next kernel call.
Not sure how to move memory pointer from one CUDA module to another one,
so for now simply disabling kernel re-load for CUDA devices. Not ideal,
but better than failing render.
Feature-selective option for CUDA is not an official feature anyway.
`screen_findedge()` is not expected to return NULL in that case, but
checking against that does not hurt (we do it in all its other call
cases anyway), better than crashing.
For some reason GCC-6 successfully compiles test program with
-Wno-implicit-fallthrough passed via command line. It just
silently ignores the unknown arguments which are starting with
-Wno-.
The issue is, if some other waning happens in the code, then
GCC will complain about unknown -Wno- argument which is not
supported by current GCC version.
This makes some misleading warning prints about unknown
command line argument when any other warning happens in code
from extern/.
Volume shaders without anything connected to the surface output are treated
as if they had a transparent BSDF as the surface shader in Cycles, so the
denoiser should skip feature pass writing for them just as it does with an
actual transparent BSDF.
If the central pixel is an outlier, the denoiser is supposed to predict its
value from the surrounding pixels. However, in some cases the confidence
interval test would reject every single surrounding pixel, which leaves the
model fitting with no data to work with.
- Some arguments were inapproriatry tagged as unused
using (void)foo semantic.
Only use such semantic in tricky casses, when something
needs to be ignored in release builds or something is
dependent on tricky ifndef policy.
For rest of the cases just use void foo(int /bar*/)
semantic, which ensures variable is not used. Solves
confusion and code running out of sync with later
development.
- Used proper unused semantic to some arguments.
- Added braces to make code easier to follow, tricky
indentation with ifdef, uh.
For example, when using a radius of 1, only 9 pixels (due to weighting maybe
even less) will be used, but the transform code may still decide to use a
5-dimensional (or even higher) fit.
This causes severe overfitting and therefore weird pixel values.
To avoid this, this commit limits the amount of dimensions to a third of the
pixel number. For a radius of 3 or more, this doesn't change anything, but
for 1 and 2 it can prevent fireflies and/or negative values being produced.
Once again, numerical instabilities causing the Cholesky decomposition to fail.
However, further increasing the diagonal correction just because of a few
pixels in very specific scenes and settings seems unjustified.
Therefore, this commit simply falls back to the basic NLM-filtered pixel
if the more advanced model fails.
I wouldn't mind switching fully to Google style, but i am against of
mixing two different styles in same project. So just stick to brace
at the new line after function definition.
There were following issues with ccl_restrict_ptr:
- We already had ccl_restrict for all platforms.
- It was secretly adding `const` qualifier to the declaration,
which is quite weird since non-const pointer can also be
declared as restricted.
- We never in Blender are using foo_ptr or FooPtr type definitions,
so not sure why we should introduce such a thing here.
- It is absolutely wrong from semantic point of view to put pointer
into the restrict macro -- const is a part of type, not part of
hint for compiler that some pointer is never aliased.
Denoise commit introduced kernel_write_result() which saves light passes, so
no need to call both kernel_write_result() and kernel_write_light_passes() from
the split kernel.
Weirdly enough. kernel_write_result() does not take care about debug passes.
The issue is coming from some weird semi-finished canvas feature, which
was remapping coordinate without applying any differential on the sampling
ellipse (in fact, there is no ellipse, sampling think is always a single
pixel).
The whole thing is just weak in the compositor, for now just bring behavior
back to how it was prior to optimization (multithreading) commit.
The problem was that Cycles implicitly uses a transparent surface shader when only
volume nodes are used, but since the black emission shader gets optimized away,
it was no longer detected and therefore no transparent surface was used.
Therefore, the shader now stores whether volume nodes were connected before
optimizing.
Extremely bright pixels in the rendered image cause the denoising algorithm
to produce extremely noticable artifacts. Therefore, a heuristic is needed
to exclude these pixels from the filtering process.
The new approach calculates the 75% percentile of the 5x5 neighborhood of
each pixel and flags the pixel if it is more than twice as bright.
During the reconstruction process, flagged pixels are skipped. Therefore,
they don't cause any problems for neighboring pixels, and the outlier pixels
themselves are replaced by a prediction of their actual value based on their
feature pass values and the neighboring pixels.
Therefore, the denoiser now also works as a smarter despeckling filter that
uses a more accurate prediction of the pixel instead of a simple average.
This can be used even if denoising isn't wanted by setting the denoising
radius to 1.
The implementation originally handled four different cases:
Regular glossy, glass, metallic fresnel glossy and diffuse.
However, only the first two are actually used currently. Therefore, this commit
removes the other two, which allows to simplify the code.
Additionally, due to the Principled BSDF, the function arguments are now
identical for glossy and glass, which allows to get rid of some ugly #ifdefs.
Use smarter check of where the file is coming from instead of
attempting to replace same source twice with different settings.
Brings down processing time from 3.6sec to 1.8sec.
It is not a good idea to:
1. Duplicate metadata to self
2. Ignore the fact that something might have had metadata already.
Also moved metadata copy to a preparation function, so it is
never lost.
The mesh interpolation code had an edge case where one of two
adjacent edges to a vertex has 0 length. This caused an assert
failure indexing the vertex mesh for splash Blenderman.blend.
Found when was looking into T49864. The issue is caused here
by render_copy_renderdata() doing a copy of views with
BLI_duplicatelist() so we can not just zero the pointers out.
Similar thing is happening for layers as well.

Normally, segments up to 50 can be quite enough for most cases.
However, when dealing with things like braids,
the current limit can sometimes be quite a pain.
This commit fixes crash, but user feedback can be improved here to
inform artist that one can't use Render Result as a texture since that
will cause feedback loop.
Basically upon invoking cycles baking we could canell it which would
leave G.is_break hanging as true. Since we were not setting is_break to
false before exec baking, it would misbehave.
The issue was caused by stupid workaorund for libav. Now things works for
FFmpeg. There might need some tweaks needed for Libav, but that one is
not really priority for support.
Previous method was based on face-area, giving un-even results
based on topology and gave issues with zero area faces.
This method gives matching results for concave ngons and the same geometry triangulated.
The code only updated nodes in the nodetree of the scene to which the render layer belongs. Therefore, when using scene B in the compositor setup of scene A, A's node wouldn't be updated.
With this fix, the update function loops over all scenes and checks them for relevant nodes.
Was preventing update in 3DView etc. when changing something in the
World's NodeTree, especially annoying in blender2.8 branch (since legacy
depsgraph has been removed there), but also affecting master.
Old code was working quite unreliable in combination with fast math

is built with Clang but was correct 8 when built with GCC.
This commit works this around. Annoying, but don't see other way to

This commit contains the first part of the new Cycles denoising option,
which filters the resulting image using information gathered during rendering
to get rid of noise while preserving visual features as well as possible.
To use the option, enable it in the render layer options. The default settings
fit a wide range of scenes, but the user can tweak individual settings to
control the tradeoff between a noise-free image, image details, and calculation
time.
Note that the denoiser may still change in the future and that some features
are not implemented yet. The most important missing feature is animation
denoising, which uses information from multiple frames at once to produce a
flicker-free and smoother result. These features will be added in the future.
Finally, thanks to all the people who supported this project:
- Google (through the GSoC) and Theory Studios for sponsoring the development
- The authors of the papers I used for implementing the denoiser (more details
on them will be included in the technical docs)
- The other Cycles devs for feedback on the code, especially Sergey for
mentoring the GSoC project and Brecht for the code review!
- And of course the users who helped with testing, reported bugs and things
that could and/or should work better!
Those shall not be considered while checking whether a to-be-made-local
ID will end up fully local, or still be partially used by linked data...
Even less since we already do have special handling of proxies later.
Fixes main remaining issue found with 04_01_H.lighting.blend Agent327
file, and allows us to switch back to optimized post-processing in
make_local code.
That one tags those ugly little 'from' ID pointers (shape keys and
proxies), which point back from used to user ID, and require a lot of
special care in data-block management...
Again, Agent327's 04_01_H.lighting.blend shows some problem here, it
triggers several times the 'not used at all' assert in step 5 of secure
code, and with optimized version we lose the connection between
rigs and the main characters!
Will keep investigating on this, but for now let's try to give something
working to the studio.
This should not be needed imho, we already set POSE_RECALC flag
correctly there, but it still is missing actual update of poses in some
(complex and convoluted) cases. So at least for now, let's go with this
hack, it's not really harming anyone anyway.
Fixes crash in Agent327's 04_01_H.lighting.blend when making all local.
Not sure how this happens, but in some cases we can evaluate
deformations of an armature which pose is not valid, at least put a
warning here to help identifying the issue quickly.
The issue was caused by unlimited textures commit, root of the issue is that
displacement code updates some of the image slots directly, so it needs to
ensure device vectors are all proper size.
additionally added a python-settable variable to indicate whether the dynamic fracture data has been loaded externally or not (just set it from the handler)
this is supposed to keep externally loaded data in place when changing over to dynamic fracture, the handler triggers a python script which populates the meshislands and another to populate the constraints via the FM python API.
Additionally a couple of minor fixes for dynamic fracturing.
There was fully wrong logic in comparison: was actually accessing memory
past the array boundary. Run test manually and the figure seems correct
to me now.

The issue was caused by pointiness being calculated after

Should be safe, pointiness is used all over the barbershop.
This commit contains all commits required to get proper hair rendering
with BVH motion steps enabled.
The issue here was mainly coming from minimal pixel width feature
which is quite commonly enabled in production shots.
This feature will use some probabilistic heuristic in the curve
intersection function to check whether we need to return intersection
or not. This probability is calculated for every intersection check.
Now, when we use multiple BVH nodes for curve primitives we increase
probability of that primitive to be considered a good intersection
for us. This is similar to increasing minimal width of curve.
What is worst here is that change in the intersection probability
fully depends on exact layout of BVH, meaning probability might
change differently depending on a view angle, the way how builder
binned the primitives and such. This makes it impossible to do
simple check like dividing probability by number of BVH steps.
Other solution might have been to split BVH into fully independent
trees, but that will increase memory usage of all the static
objects in the scenes, which is also not something desirable.
For now used most simple but robust approach: store BVH primitives
time and test it in curve intersection functions. This solves the
regression, but has two downsides:
- Uses more memory.
which isn't surprising, and ANY solution to this problem will
use more memory.
What we still have to do is to avoid this memory increase for
cases when we don't use BVH motion steps.
- Reduces number of maximum available textures on pre-kepler cards.
There is not much we can do here, hardware gets old but we need
to move forward on more modern hardware..
Deleting the bake after changing the rigidbody count still is necessary, else the shard order and the mesh appearance of fracture modifier objects will be messed up.
Furthermore, decreased the convert to keyframe default threshold from 0.05 to 0.005, reconverting by re-using
the operator again still is somewhat broken
Fixes for clamp-omp, fewer shared variables, fix some cases of threads writing
to the same memory location. Issue found by Jens Verwiebe, who reports 30%
speedup with 16 core CPU, when using this with a recent clang-omp version.
Blenders baking system currently doesn't support the topology used by
adaptive subdivision and primitive ids will be wrong or out of range
leading to crashes. Updating the baking system to support other
topologies would be a bit involved, so for now we simply disable
subdivision while baking to avoid crashes.
Cycles add-on did not actually support reloading correctly.
When you want to correctly reload sub-modules (i.e. modules of an add-on
which is a package), you need to use importlib, a mere import will do
nothing with already loaded modules (RNA classes are sort of
pre-registered when they are evaluated, through the meta-class system).
This way we can stop traversing BVH node early on.
Gives about 2-2.5x times render time improvement with 3 BVH steps.
Hopefully this gives no measurable performance loss for scenes with
single BVH step.
Traversal is currently only implemented for QBVH, meaning old CPUs
and GPU do not benefit from this change.
Similar to the previous commit, the statistics goes as:
BVH Steps Render time (sec) Memory usage (MB)
0 46 260
1 27 373
2 18 598
3 15 826
Scene used for the tests is the agent's body from one of the barber
shop scenes (no textures or anything, just a diffuse material).
Once again this is limited to regular (non-spatial split) BVH,
Support of spatial split to this feature will come later.
The idea is to create several smaller BVH nodes for each of the motion
curve primitives. This acts as a forced spatial split for the single
primitive.
This gives up render time speedup of motion blurred hair in the cost
of extra memory usage. The numbers goes as:
BVH Steps Render time (sec) Memory usage (MB)
0 258 191
1 123 278
2 69 453
3 43 627
Scene used for the tests is the agent's hair from one of the barber
shop scenes.
Currently it's only limited to scenes without spatial split enabled,
since the spatial split builder requires some changes to work properly
with motion steps coordinates.
Also fixed some issues with motion keys calculation:
- Clamp lower and upper limits of curves so we can safely call those
functions for the very first and very last curve segment.
- Fixed wrong indexing for the curve radius array.
- Fixed wrong motion attribute offset calculation.
Mimics how regular triangles are working and makes it more clear where
the stuff is located in the kernel.
Needed to have some forward declarations because of the current placement
of things in the kernel.
This kind of keeps threads "warmer" and should in theory give better
cache coherency bringing some %% of speedup. It was already tested
few months ago and it gave few % speedup in barber shop, but was
reverted due to some bone popping. The popping is now fixed so it
should be fine to use new scheduling policy.
Did similar trick to old dependency graph: tag invisible relations for update.
Might need some re-consideration, see the comment.
This should solve our issues with powerlib addon here in the studio.
New dependency graph expects strict separation between nodes and relations builder,
meaning, if we try to create relation with an object which is not in the graph yet
we'll have an error in depsgraph.
Now, so far object nodes were created from bases of the current scene, which caused
missing objects in graph in certain cases.
Didn't find better approach than to simply ensure object nodes exists when we know
they'll be used by relation builder.
The idea is simple: when falling back to one of the nodes which was partially
handled we "resume" checking outgoing relations from the index which we stopped.
This gives about 15-20% depsgraph construction time save.
This is more proper way to go:
- Avoids re-compilation of all dependent files when implementation changes
without changed API,
- Linker should have much simpler time now de-duplicating and getting rid
of redundant implementations.
The idea here is to address issue that name on it's own is not
always unique: for example, when adding driver operations the
name used for nodes is the RNA path (and multiple drivers can
write to different array indices of the path). Basically, now
it's possible to pass extra integer value to distinguish
operations in such cases.
So now we've already switched from sprintf() to construct unique
operation name to pass RNA path and array index.
There should be no functional changes yet, but this work is
required for further work about replacing string with const
char*.
There is no real reason to have nodes storing heap-allocated name
and description. Doing this increases amount of allocations during
dependency graph building, which usually means somewhat slowness.
We're temporarily loosing some eyecandy in the graphviz visualizer,
but those we can bring back as a part of graphiz dump (which happens
much less often than depsgraph build).
This will happen in multiple commits for the ease of bisect in the
future just in case this causes any regression. This commit contains
ID creation API changes.
The issue was caused by image ID nodes not being in the depsgraph.
Now, tricky part: we only add nodes but do not add relations yet. Reasoning:
- It's currently important to only call editor's ID update callback to solve
the issue, without need to flush changes somewhere deeper.
- Adding relations might cause some unwanted updates, so will leave that for
a later investigation.
Animation system has separate fcurves for each of array elements and
dependency graph creates separate nodes for each of fcurve, This is
needed to keep granularity of updates, but causes issues because
animation system will actually write the whole array to property when
modifying single value (this is a limitation of RNA API).
Worked around by adding operation relation between array drivers
so we never write same array form multiple threads.
They were not real issues, it's just some areas of code tried to create
relations between non-existing nodes without checking whether such
relations are really needed.
Now it should be easier to see real bugs printed.
Hopefully should be no regressions here.
Do this for the new dependency graph: was missing handle of OB_UPDATE_TIME in tag update.
Hopefully it's all correct still.
Old dependency graph needs work, but i'm tempting to call it unsupported and move on
to 2.8 branch.
This was quite weak to consider all scripted expression to be time-dependent.
Current solution is somewhat better but still crappy. Not sure how can we make
it really nice.
It was possible to have synchronization issues whe naccumulating smooth
normal to a vertex, causing shading artifacts during playback.
Bug found by Dalai, thanks!
This way render engine can request mesh to be auto-split and not

This is important for the reliable behavior or isnan/isfinite/min/max
functions to work with nan and non-finite values. Some of the issues
with fast math are possible to work around, but didn't find a way to
have reliable min/max implementation yet.
Please NEVER EVER use such a statement, it's only causing HUGE
issues. What is even worse: it's not always possible to immediately
see that the hell is coming from such a statement.
There is still some statements in the existing code, will leave
those for a later cleanup.
This avoids intersection AABB of different curve primitives
which makes it less ray-to-primitive intersections.
This gives about 30% speedup of hair rendering in the barber
shop scenes here. There is still some work to be done on those
files to solve major speed issues on certain frames.
This way we can have different limits for regular and motion curves
which we'll do in one of the upcoming commits in order to gain some
percents of speedup.
The reasoning here is that motion curves are usually intersecting
lots of others bounding boxes, which makes it inefficient to have
single primitive in the leaf node.
Maximal number of elements is supposed to be inclusive. That is what
it was always meant in this file and what @brecht considered still
the case in 6974b69c61.
In fact, the commit message to that change mentions that we allowed
up to 2 curve primitives per leaf while in fact it was doing up to 1
curve primitive.
Making it real 2 primitives at a max gives about 5% slowdown for the
koro.blend scene. This is a reason why BVHParams.max_curve_leaf_size
was changed to 1 by this change.
Since the beginning of times hair settings in cycles were global for
the whole scene but were located in the particle context. This causes
quite some trickery to get shots set up for the movies here in the
studio by forcing artists to create dummy particle system to change
settings of hair on the shot.
While ideally this settings should be properly become per-particle
system for the time being it will save sweat and blood to move the
settings to scene context.

The issue was that we used to compare number of vertices for mesh after the auto
smooth was applied (at the center of the shutter time) with number of vertices
prior to the auto smooth applied. This caused false-positive consideration of a
mesh as changing topology.
Now we do autosplit as early as possible and do it from blender side, so Cycles
does not need to re-implement splitting on it's side.
This matches behavior of Multiscatter GGX and could become handy later on
when/if we decide it would be beneficial to replace on closure with another.

Discard the whole volume stack on the last bounce (but keep
world volume if present).
Volumes are expected to be closed manifol meshes, meaning if
ray entered the volume there should be an intersection event
of ray exisintg the volume. Case when ray hit nothing and
there are still non-world volumes in the stack can happen in
either of cases.
1. Mesh is not closed manifold.
Such configurations are not really supported anyway and should

This case also will behave differently now, but previously it

3. We missed exit event due to intersection precision issues.
This is exact the case which this patch fixes and avoid

The Progress system in Cycles had two limitations so far:
- It just counted tiles, but ignored their size. For example, when rendering a 600x500 image with 512x512 tiles, the right 88x500 tile would count for 50% of the progress, although it only covers 15% of the image.
- Scene update time was incorrectly counted as rendering time - therefore, the remaining time started very long and gradually decreased.
This patch fixes both problems:
First of all, the Progress now has a function to ignore time spans, and that is used to ignore scene update time.
The larger change is the tile size: Instead of counting samples per tile, so that the final value is num_samples*num_tiles, the code now counts every sample for every pixel, so that the final value is num_samples*num_pixels.
Along with that, some unused variables were removed from the Progress and Session classes.

Maybe not fully optimal solution, but committing it for now to have
closer look later.
Main intention is to give some quick way to control scene's memory
usage by clamping textures which are too big. This is really handy
on the early production stages when you first create really nice
looking hi-res textures and only when it all works and approved
start investing time on optimizing your scene.
This is a new option in Scene Simplify panel and it acts as
following: when texture size is bigger than the given value it'll
be scaled down by half for until it fits into given limit.
There are various possible improvements, such as:
- Use threaded scaling using our own task manager.
This is actually one of the main reasons why image resize is
manually-implemented instead of using OIIO's resize. Other
reason here is that API seems limited to construct 3D texture
description easily.
- Vectorization of uchar4/float4/half4 textures.
- Use something smarter than box filter.
Was playing with some other filters, but not sure they are
really better: they kind of causes more fuzzy edges.
Even with such a TODOs in the code the option is already quite
useful.

After CUDA dynload changes having CUDA toolkit became required
in order to compile Cycles. This only happened due to wrong
default value to the option.
Previously, it was only possible to choose a single GPU or all of that type (CUDA or OpenCL).
Now, a toggle button is displayed for every device.
These settings are tied to the PCI Bus ID of the devices, so they're consistent across hardware addition and removal (but not when swapping/moving cards).
From the code perspective, the more important change is that now, the compute device properties are stored in the Addon preferences of the Cycles addon, instead of directly in the User Preferences.
This allows for a cleaner implementation, removing the Cycles C API functions that were called by the RNA code to specify the enum items.
Note that this change is neither backwards- nor forwards-compatible, but since it's only a User Preference no existing files are broken.

With this fix, using a MIS map resolution equal to the image size for closest imterpolation or twice the size for linear interpolation gets rid of all fireflies.
Previously, a much higher resolution was needed to get acceptable noise levels.
Basically, the problem here was that the transform that's used to bring texture coordinates
to world space is either fetched while setting up the shader (with Object Motion is enabled) or
fetched when needed (otherwise). That helps to save ShaderData memory on OpenCL when Object Motion isn't needed.
Now, if OM is enabled, the Lamp transform can just be stored inside the ShaderData as well. The original commit just assumed it is.
However, when it's not (on OpenCL by default, for example), there is no easy way to fetch it when needed, since the ShaderData doesn't
store the Lamp index.
So, for now the lamps just don't support local texture coordinates anymore when Object Motion is disabled.
To fix and support this properly, one of the following could be done:
- Just always pre-fetch the transform. Downside: Memory Usage increases when not using OM on OpenCL
- Add a variable to ShaderData that stores the Lamp ID to allow fetching it when needed
- Store the Lamp ID inside prim or object. Problem: Cycles currently checks these for whether an object was hit - these checks would need to be changed.
- Enable OM whenever a Texture Coordinate's Normal output is used. Downside: Might not actually be needed.
This allows to save a memory copy, which will be particularly useful for network rendering.

In scenes with many lights, some of them might have a very small contribution to some pixels, but the shadow rays are traced anyways.
To avoid that, this patch adds probabilistic termination to light samples - if the contribution before checking for shadowing is below a user-defined threshold, the sample will be discarded with probability (1 - (contribution / threshold)) and otherwise kept, but weighted more to remain unbiased.
This is the same approach that's also used in path termination based on length.
Note that the rendering remains unbiased with this option, it just adds a bit of noise - but if the setting is used moderately, the speedup gained easily outweighs the additional noise.

Oh man, is it a compiler bug? Is it something we do stupid?
For now more crap to prevent crashes. During the conference will talk to

Basically don't use rcp() in areas which seems to be critical after
second look. Also disabled some multiplication operators, not sure
yet why they might be a problem.
Tomorrow will be setting up a full test with all cases which were
buggy in our farm to see if this fix is complete.
There is some precision issues for big magnitude coordinates which started
to give weird behavior of release builds. Some weird memory usage in BVH
which is tricky to nail down because only happens in release builds and GDB
reports all variables as optimized out when trying to use RelWithDebInfo.
There are two things in this commit:
- Attempt to make vectorized code closer to original one, hoping that it'll
eliminate precision issue.
This seems to work for transform_point().
- Similar trick did not work for transform_direction() even tho absolute
error here is much smaller. For now disabled that function, need a more
careful look here.
Several ideas here:
- Optimize calculation of near_{x,y,z} in a way that does not require
3 if() statements per update, which avoids negative effect of wrong
branch prediction.
- Optimization of direction clamping for BVH.
- Optimization of point/direction transform.
Brings ~1.5% speedup again depending on a scene (unfortunately, this
speedup can't be sum across all previous commits because speedup of
each of the changes varies from scene to scene, but it still seems to
be nice solid speedup of few percent on Linux and bigger speedup was
reported on Windows).

Previously an error message would be printed whenever the OpenCL build produced output.
However, some frameworks seem to print extra information even if the build succeeded, so now the actual returned error is checked as well.
When --debug-cycles is activated, the build output will always be printed, otherwise it only gets printed if there was an error.
The problem here was, as the title says, that the two kernels were swapped.
Since shader evaluation is only used for building the samling map when World MIS is enabled, rendering without it would still work fine, although baking also was broken.
The previous refactor changed the code to use a separate logging mechanism to support multithreaded compilation.
However, since that's not supported by any frameworks yes, it just resulted in bad logging behaviour.
So, this commit changes the logging to go diectly to stdout/stderr once again by default.
This was giving some speedup but made intersection tests to fail
from watertight point of view.
Needs deeper investigation, but need to quickly get it fixed for

This gives about 5% speedup on AVX2 kernels (other kernels still
have SSE disabled for math operations) and this solves the slowdown

This should make MSVC happier without breaking OpenCL because it's

This commit basically vectorizes existing code using AVX2 instructions

BMW: -8%
Classroom: -5%
Cat: -5%
Koro: +1%
Barcelona: -8%
That's on Linux machine, reported performance improvement on Windows
goes up to 20%.
Not currently sure why Koro is somewhat slower because it mainly uses
curve intersection tests, could be a time noise? Or osmething with the
cache utilization perhaps? In any case speedup in other scenes makes
me thinking that current state is acceptable for initial implementation.
This is again inspired by Maxym Dmytrychenko.
Based on existing ssef data type and to my knowledge it's also what happens in
Embree nowadays.

The light sampling functions calculate light sampling PDF for the case that the light has been randomly selected out of all lights.
However, since BPT handles lamps and meshlights separately, this isn't the case. So, to avoid a wrong result, the code just included the 0.5 factor in the throughput.
In theory, however, the correction should be made to the sampling probability, which needs to be doubled. Now, for the regular calculation, that's no real difference since the throughput is divided by the pdf.
However, it does matter for the MIS calculation - it's unbiased both ways, but including the factor in the PDF instead of the throughput should give slightly better results.

- Allows to share kernels across multiple Blender versions,

- "Copy Previous Settings" operator will no longer be copying possibly

Most of the time, Lamps in Cycles are just a constant emission closure, no texturing etc. Therefore, running a full shader evaluation is wasteful.
To avoid that, Cycles now detects these constant emission shaders and stores their value in the lamp data along with a flag in the shader.
Then, at runtime, if this flag is set, the lamp code just uses this value and only runs the full shader evaluation if it is neccessary.
In scenes with a lot of lamps and with "Sample all direct/indirect" enabled, this saves up to 20% of rendering time in my tests.

Idea here is to select the lowest isolation level that wont compromise quality.
By using the lowest level we save memory and processing time. This will also
help avoid precision issues that have been showing up from using the highest
level (T49179, T49257).
This is a pretty simple heuristic that gives ok results. There's more we could
do here, such as filtering for vertices/edges adjacent geometric features that
need isolation instead of checking them all, but the logic there could get a
bit involved.
There's potential for slight popping of edges during animation if the dice
rate is low, but I don't think this should be a problem since low dice rates
really shouldn't be used in animation anyways.

When drawing with Grease Pencil "continous drawing" for a long time
(i.e. basically, drawing a very large number of strokes), it could be
possible to cause lower-specced machines to run out of RAM and start
swapping. This was because there was no limit on the number of undo
states that the GP undo code was storing; since the undo states grow
exponentially on each stroke (i.e. each stroke results in another undo
state which contains all the existing strokes AND the newest stroke), this
could cause issues when taken to the extreme.
I) Filename was not put in temp Main generated to save selected data only,
this was breaking readcode when trying to open partial file, leading to missing

II) Read code would confuse partial .blend files with Undo ones, when they had no screen in them
(which happens to 99.999% of partial .blend files I guess).

Based on patch by @codemanx, but with slightly less verbose descriptions.
More detailed behavior etc. rather belongs to doc/python_api/examples/bpy.ops.x.py imho.
The issue was caused by some false-positive empty non-AABB intersection.
Tried to tweak it a bit so it does not record intersection anymore.
Hopefully will work for all platforms. Tested here on iMac and Debian.
Constant folding was removing all nodes connected to the displacement output
if they evaluated to a constant, causing there to be no valid graph for
displacement even when there was displacement to be applied, and sometimes
caused crashes.
Using ones complement for detecting if transform has been applied was confusing
and led to several bugs. With this proper checks are made.
Also added a few transforms where they were missing, mostly affecting baking
and displacement when `P` is used in the shader (previously `P` was in the
wrong space for these shaders)
Also removed `TIME_INVALID` as this may have resulted in incorrect
transforms in some cases.

Bump mapping was happening in world space while displacement happens in object
space, causing shading errors when displacement type was used with bump mapping.
To fix this the proper transforms are added to bump nodes. This is only done
for automatic bump mapping however, to avoid visual changes from other uses of
bump mapping. It would be nice to do this for all bump mapping to be consistent
but that will have to wait till we can break compatibility.

The existing code uses the input value count of the first channel
for all of them. If the first channel is the largest, it leads to
a crash-causing buffer overrun in memcpy below. Likely this was
left since the time when only one channel was supported.
As a crash fix, probably should go into 2.78
Root of the issue is that active render index became wrong. This is the actual
thing to be fixed, but as usual this is quite tricky to reproduce. Since such
bad situation might have happened more and fix isn't really difficult or
intruisive let's avoid crash for now.
Can be revisited once we figure out root of the issue.
Nice for 2.78 release.
Own fault in new ID management work, thought rebuild the DAG itself was
enough to actually update whole scene, but we actually need to tag datablocks

For proper indexing to work we need to use unaligned node with
identity transform instead of aligned nodes when doing refit.
To be backported to 2.78 release.
This is really hack-fix actually, not sure why `get_pointcache_keys_for_time()` seems to assume
it will always find key for given part index at least for current frame, and whether this assumption
is wrong or whether bug happens elsewhere...
Anyway, this is to be wiped out in 2.8, so no point loosing too much time on it, for now merely
returning unchanged (i.e. zero'ed) ParticleKeys in case index2 is invalid. Won't hurt anyway,
even if this did not crash in release builds, would be returning giberish values.
Weirdly enough, this version of XCode seems to have static_assert()

The two SVM nodes added with e7ea1ae78c caused a slowdown on AMD cards when rendering with OpenCL, whether displacement was used or not.
In the Barcelona Pavillon scene on a RX480, this would cause a 12% slowdown.
Therefore, this commit adds a additional flag for feature-adaptive compilation so that the new SVM nodes are only enabled when they are needed (Node tree connected to the Displacement output and Displacement type set to Both).
Also, the nodes were also added to shaders when the Displacement Type was set to Bump (the default), which was unneccessary and is fixed now.
Thanks to linda2 on IRC for reporting and testing and to maiself for help with the displacement shader code.
This fix might be relevant for 2.78, but it should be tested further before including it.
See commit's comments for details, but this boils down to: do not try to use
purely runtime cache data as a 'real' ID pointer in readcode, it's likely
doomed to fail in some cases, and is bad practice in any case!
Thix fix implies dupliweight's object will be invalid until first scene update

This is a bug in the multithreaded task manager in negative value range.
The problem here is that if previter is unsigned, the comparison in the
return statement is unsigned, and works incorrectly if stop < 0 &&
iter >= 0. This in turn can happen if stop is close to 0, because this
code is designed to overrun the stop by chunk_size*num_threads as
the threads terminate.

Crash was due to a name collision in Alembic objects caused by the fact
that names derive from the one of the Blender object. An object having
multiple particles system would thus give its name to various
subobjects.
Now use the name of the particles system for the Alembic object.
Another great example of inconsistency in usercount handling - dupli_group was considered
as refcounted by readfile.c code (and hence by library_query.c one, which is based on it),
but not by editor/BKE_object code, which never increased group's usercount when creating
an instance of it etc.

if you use voronoi+bisect and solidify after FM, you can automerge now without having autohideable inner faces. This should have the same effect as autohide in regular use case has.
note: cache will always be overwritten in autoexec sim mode, because keeping it may lead to incorrect sim results
furthermore a couple of changes for external mode (attempt to be more BCB compatible)
solver iteration override was taken into account too late, after first validation which probably caused different simulation behavior using the default value for one frame
The addressed issue is a regression from Blender 2.75, after the internal
switch from double to single precision floating-point numbers in the
Freestyle code base. Face normal calculations require the higher
precision during the computations, even though the results can be stored
as single precision numbers.
This reverts commit 2bd3acf7cd.
Commit is valid in theory - but in practice, it means nearly all edited hair systems
would need to be re-created from scratch... Not nice, so better revert and note in code
that particle distribution is ugly and does not respect 'use modifier stack' option in most cases.
Disclaimer: this is tentative fix, seems to be working but you never know with particles.
If issue arise, we'll just revert this commit and hide 'use modifier stack' option
for grid distribution instead.
This commit also try to make choice of which dm to use during distribution more generic
(deduplication of code), again hopping not to break anything. :P
Looks like some distro still provide llvm-3.4-devel, while no more clang-3.4.
Since clang depends on llvm of same version, check clang only should ensure

That might consider a bit more objects to be considered deform modified,
but it covers common case of using taper object without require of doing
recursive checks.
In worst case it'll be just some extra synchronization time, no render
time difference will happen for false-positive because of extra checks
happening in Cycles.
When non-random, particle distribution used a small start offset (to avoid
zero-weight faces), which is fine with "continuous" entities like faces, but not
for discrete ones like vertices - in that case it was generating some undesired
"jump" over a few verts in case step was small enough
(i.e. total number of verts/particles was big enough).
Point-cached particles (those using simulations) would not update at all outside of
first frame, due to PSYS_RECALC_RESET flag being ingnored in `system_step()`...
For some mysterious reasons, udate is still non-fully functional outside of startframe
(e.g. changing face distribution between random and jittered), but at least when choosing
'Vertices' you get particles from verts and not faces!
Follow same logic in `psys_render_restore` as in `psys_render_set` - if hair and
display percentage is not 100%, we have to recompute particles...
With regular 'emitter' particles just hiding some is fine (though using random here
will not give a precise proportion...).
readfile.c would increment object usercount in three places, where it should not.
Remember kids: Objects are **only** refcounted by Scene's bases, and Object->proxy!

Static schedule was responsible here...
Also, made a minor optimization in case adaptative (auto) subframes are enabled,

Similar cause as in T47482, we used to have poor handling of 'user_one' cases of ID usage,
leading to inconsistent behavior depending on order of operations e.g.
Here, was object used by a group but not linked in any scene - once linked in scene,
their usercount would be 2, leading to 'making single copy', when it's actually not needed.
We now have better control here, so let's use it!
Note that other ID 'make single user' code will likely need similar fix (Images, etc.).

Pointers of faces were passed as face keys during parametrizer's face creation. Since those
addresses were different for every run, the layout of the faces ended up being different

Solved by simply using faces' indices as key instead, which ensures we always get same results

'Distance from Object' color/alpha/thickness modifiers without a target
object were raising a run-time exception although it is not considered an
error condition.
The reported crash was confirmed as a segmentation fault in std::sort().
The cause of the crash was traced down to a binary comparison function
that was not satisfying the so-called strict weak ordering requirements of
the C++ standard sorting function. Specifically, the comparison operator
has to return false when two objects are equivalent (i.e., comp(a, a) must
be false), but that requirement was not met.
Since the binary comparison operator in question could be a user-defined
Python function, here a safety measure is implemented in the C++ layer to
make sure the aforementioned requirement is always satisfied.
Previously, a warning was added to provide feedback to users trying to change the values
of driven properties why their edits would not have any effect on the propeerty. However,
it turned out that instead of only showing up when the user tried to increment/decrement/slide
the property's value, it was also firing everytime they were trying to edit the expression.
That however is not what we want at all!
This fix assumes that BUTTON_STATE_TEXT_EDITING is used for expression editing, and
BUTTON_STATE_NUM_EDITING (or everything else) refers to the user trying to adjust the
value normally.
When the "Use Y" option in the Copy Rotation constraint is disabled, the constraint
behaves eratically when rotating all the target on all axes at the same time.
This is partially to be expected due to the way that euler rotations work
(i.e. the rotation orders stuff - you should use a rotation order based on most to
least important/significant rotations). Hence, by locking Y, you're causing accuracy
problems for Z.
What was not expected though was that changing the rotation orders on the objects
involved (for the record, it's the constraint owner that counts) did nothing.
It turns out that for objects, the rotation order settings were getting ignored!
This commit fixes this problem, and this particular case can be resolved by using
"XZY".
Notes:
* Since all object constraints were previously working on the assumption that they
used XYZ (default) order, it is possible that this change may have the unintended
consequence of changing the behaviour of some rigs which relied on the buggy
behaviour. Hopefully this will be a rare occurrence.

Calling event handling recursively during window live resize is problematic,

This was broken since ages I think, did not really hurt since we usually never use libs' names

And no real reason to add new libraries to new (split) Main at all, libraries are

Not a regression, but should be included in 2.76 imho.
Compositing might make main thread so busy that animation is considered done due to duration before final position is reached.
Also added check to avoid unnecessary redraws.
Issue is, when 'Rotate Aroud Selection' is set, in Edit mode we do a fake transform operation
to get center point around which to rotate. For curves, most transform operations involve
a check of handle types. For now, added 'TFM_DUMMY' as an exception here.
Think it would be best to actually undo those changes in case of cancelled operation,
but this is much more involved, while this fix is safe enough to be included in final 2.76.
Basically, after border selecting, a wrong file was selected by using arrow keys if the screen was scrolled a bit vertically. Reason was that we didn't use correct view space coordinates but region space coordinates for measuring distance from mouse to first/last file in selection after border select.

patters at values around zero.
This will change distribution of bricks for existing files. but it's something

When the active object had no shapekey data, trying to create a new action from the
Shape Keys mode of the DopeSheet would crash. The segfault here was a silly regression

However, the old (pre-Action Stashing) code here also wasn't that great either.
While it didn't crash, it would still silently create a new action, even if that

happening again, I've added additional null checks, as well as beefing up the poll
callback here to forbid keyframing
The issue has been here since we changed drawing code for meshes to use

set to version 2.73 and subversion 10, without tweaking the
BKE_blender.h file
OR
340b76b42c should be reverted for this
release.
Thanks to Lukas for checking this out.

Transformed 'OrientationHelper' class into 'orientation_helper_factory' function,
which returns an OrientationHelper customized class with specified default axes.
For some reason recent change in avoiding non-aligned eigen vectors
was behaving differently for cmake and scons. Made it a bit different
now by storing scalars. This is more robust approach anyway, because
it's not really guaranteed Mat.col() gives a pointer inside data,
depending on column-major vs. row-major storage.
This is to be backported to 2.74 branch.
mode.
Yes it will, because those modes stay active. So on user side, expose
depth of field option always (I don't see why not), but disable SSAO in
wireframe/bounding box mode. It is a known limitation that compositing
does not support antialiasing yet, but better give users some more
control.
This could be included in final release but it's not that serious
either.
Basically out of range could happen when opening files made in 2.72 when
the new icons for texture painting were added. Apparently some more
caution is needed here.
Fix T44007: Cycles Volumetrics: block artifacts with overlapping volumes
The issue was caused by uninitialized parameters of some closures, which
lead to unpredictable behavior of shader_merge_closures().
New 'strip' snapping was simply not computed in case of constrained transform, hence init
'0' value was used as frame offset in this case.
This commit reorganizes a bit that snapping, to keep it more 'confined' into `snapSequenceBounds()`
dedicated function. It still needs a minor hack (setting snapping mode to something else than
defualt `SCE_SNAP_MODE_INCREMENT`, to avoid this snapping to be called by contraint code).
Thanks to Antony for review and enhancements.
This fix should be backported to 2.74.
It was actually an old issue with wrong conversion happening for muted
nodes, which wasn't visible before memory optimization commit.
This is to be backported to the final release.
The way we were getting diff to apply to vcos from target object was just bad!
Also, fixed another related issue - negated scale would be clamped to nearly zero,
now only consider absolute version of size (we do not care about its sign here anyway).
This should be backported to 2.74 (with previous commit too).
This patch would reassign the relative of all keyblocks to the relative
of the deleted keyblock. And it fixes the misalignement of the index values
after the keyblock is deleted.

I noticed our version code and subversion got out of sync in the past, maybe
that's what the issue was here.
Deleting the entries from the .xml makes it fall back to the default values.
The fix was really flacky, in terms during speed benchmarks i had
abort() in the fallback block to be sure it never runs in production
scenes, but that affected on the optimization as well. Without this
abort there's quite bad slowdown of 5-7% on the renders even tho
the Pleucker fallback was never run.
This is all weird and for now reverting the change which affects on
all the production scenes and will look into alternative fixes for
the original issue with precision loss on huge planes.
This reverts commit 9489205c5c.
The problem here was that when a Grease Pencil datablock is shared between
the 3D view and another one of the editors, all the strokes were getting handled
by the editing operators, even if those strokes could not be displayed/used
in that context. As a result, the coordinate conversion methods would fail,
as some of the needed data would not be set.
The fix here involves not including any offending strokes in such cases...

Issue was caused by wrong order of scene device update, which could
lead to missing object flags in shader kernel.
This patch solves a bit more than that making sure objects flags are
always properly updated, so adding/removing volume BSDF will properly
reflect on viewport where camera might become being in volume and so.
Really stupid issue caused by typo in bitfield bit lead to bit conflict,
Not sure how it was done, could be some bad merge conflict resolve in the
original commit or just pure man stupidnes.
This is a nice example when having set of small test render scenes hooked
to the ctest would really help.
It's probably not that stopper issue (even tho still quite bad) since it
was made 2 months ago. But if we ever do 'a' this time it's a nice change
to include.
Happens because material setting now occurs in the derived mesh drawing
routine as it should. However that means that it also happens during
selection and that influenced the drawing state somehow.
In 2.72 this did not occur because material setting happened during draw
setting (skip or draw) instead of after the draw setting passed (so
selection would skip it by use another draw setting function). Of course
this violated design but worked.
Made it now so backbuffer selection does not enable materials (it's
redundant in those cases anyway).
This could be ported to a possible 'a' release but as is classic with
display code there may be some other places that it could backfire.
Tested fix with texture/vertex painting and selection which use
backbuffer for both subsurf and regular meshes and it seems to work OK.
Own fault in rBb154aa8c060a60d to fix T42447... Reverted that commit, and added
kind of not-so-nice hack instead.
Note root of the issue comes from the special case we are doing here re 'Local'
space of parent-less objects. In that case, local space should be the same as
world one, but instead we apply the object rotation to it... This is inconsistent
with all other cases and could very well lead to other issues as T42447, but afraid
fixing that properly would be rather hairy - not to mention it would likely break
all existing riggings etc. :(
Should be safe for a 2.73a, shall we need it.
Generally for build systems, libraries that do not depend on other
libraries, such as system libraries, OpenGL etc always go at the end.
We could even get rid of some duplicate dependency libraries here but
auto duplication by build systems and differences between OSs make this
difficult.
GTest still duplicates all libraries twice to solve some issues which is
weird (maybe libs are not sorted correctly for some reason? needs
investigation)
Instead of getting fancy this time, we'll just use Mahalin's simpler
fix. This may have slight performance impacts, but it is a lot simpler
than the previous fix and shouldn't cause as many bugs.
They're not intended to be executed directly and seems mode change happened
by accident.
Setting -x for this files to avoid possible incidents by trying to run this
files in shell.
The issue was originall caused by 2e8ba17 by removing necessery call
GPU_enable_material(). It was probably removed because in some cases
material was enabled after calling setDrawOptions.
That wasn't always a case for edit mode.
This is absolutely to be included to 2.73
This isn't so bad for until one goes re-posing the armature and then uses undo.
It is the same issue as with edit mode which was solved back in the days.
This reverts commit 1549fea999.
After some further discussion with other developers in the team it becomes
clear there's no correct solution here. It is just more matter of what's
more convenient in particular case.
We're just going back to old code to avoid possible frustration with the
older files in newer blenders. This also means all HSV/HSL is considered
to be "linear" in the shading nodes.
Would be ported to 2.73 final.
Safe for 2.73...
This revert rB9b0ab890676790bb1e8e77797629b889ea66f69e - needed to set that threshold to a small
negative value to remove the last artefacts reported in T39735, but now I could not reproduce
any with the previous 0.0f value, so restoring it for the time being.
If this 'shadowed neighbor face' case re-appears, we can always choose a value in-between, like -1e-18f...
basically shadow rays were totally broken and most of the time did not record
any intersections, leading to really ad rendering artifacts.
This commit makes it so regardless of enabled optimization level render result
would be the same.
birth coordinates as pointsource, but you can override this to get the coordinates of the current particle simulation state. But as the particle cache is kinda broken and shows wrong positions at beginning if simulation has been run before, this can lead to errors. Best practice is to keep this option enabled, only disable if you really need to !
Number of neighbors is exactly the same as number of faces - each face
has one neighbor. Moved this into the face section of voro++ output too,
since it's essentially face data.
Use available print options from voro++ to get number of verts and loops
in advance, to avoid realloc. Also fixed bad mesh results with missing
vertices.
Goal of this commit is to support NGons for boolean modifier
(currently mesh is being tessellated before performing boolean
operation) and also solve the limitation of loosing edge custom
data layers after boolean operation is performed.
Main idea is to make it so boolean modifier uses Carve library
directly via it's C-API, avoiding BSP intermediate level which
was doubling amount of memory needed for the operation and which
also used quite reasonable amount of overhead time.

BMesh element arrays.
This will make Shard work more like a mini-Mesh struct and allow storing
of mesh data in blend files.
Larger construction methods currently disabled, TODO.
FractureModifierData.
This keeps the derived mesh inside the modifier system and is more
in line with common principles in other modifiers.
Also did lots of style cleanup.
Was a regression from rBaa3c06b41ca9, hope this time all things are OK again (note the X/Y subdivision values still are different than before (-1 for same result), but imho they make more sense this way).
