- Rename roughness variables for more clarity - before, the SVM/OSL code would
set s and v to the linear roughness values, and the setup function would over-
write them with the distribution parameters. This actually caused a bug in the
albedo code, since it intended to use the linear roughness value, but ended up
getting the remapped value.
- Deduplicate the evaluation and sample functions. Most of their code is the
same, only the middle part is different.
- Changed albedo computation to return the sum of the intensities of the four
BSDF lobes. Previously, the code applied the inverse of the color->sigma
mapping from the paper - this returns the color specified in the node, but
for very dark hair (e.g. when using the Melanin controls) the result is
extremely low (e.g. 0.000001) despite the hair still reflecting a significant
amount of light (since the R lobe is independent of sigma). This causes issues
with the light component passes, so this change fixes#104586.
- There's quite a few computations at the start of the evaluation function that
are needed for sampling, evaluation and albedo computation, but only depend on
the view direction. Therefore, just precompute them - we still have space in
PrincipledHairExtra after all.
- Fix a tiny bug - the direction sampling code did not account for the R lobe
roughness modifier.
