Patch [#33445] - Experimental Cycles Hair Rendering (CPU only)
This patch allows hair data to be exported to cycles and introduces a new line segment primitive to render with.
The UI appears under the particle tab and there is a new hair info node available.
It is only available under the experimental feature set and for cpu rendering.
disk to be reused by the next render.
This is useful for rendering animations where only the camera or materials change.
Note that saving the BVH to disk only to be removed for the next frame is slower
if this is not the case and the meshes do actually change.
For a render, it will save bvh files to the cache user directory, and remove all
cache files from other renders. The files are named using a MD5 hash based on the
mesh, to verify if the meshes are still the same.
