We have to clear `newid` of all datablocks, not only object ones.
Note that this whole stuff is still using some kind of older, primitive
'ID remapping', would like to see whether we can replace it with new,
more generic one, but that's for another day.
Code would try to add multiple time the same key in `parent_gh` (for this
ghash a lot of dupliobjects may generate same key).
Was making the tool unusable in debug builds.
Also optimise things a bit by avoiding creating parent_gh when only
`use_base_parent` is set.
New code dealing with getting rid of lib-only cycles of data-blocks
could add several time the same datablock to the list of candidates. Now
this is avoided, and pointers are further cleaned up as double-safety
measure.
Feature request during bconf, makes sense to have it even as an hack for
now, since this is probably one of the most common use cases. This should
be redone in bmesh once we have proper custom noramls handling in edit mode...
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.
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.
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.
It was possible to have synchronization issues whe naccumulating smooth
normal to a vertex, causing shading artifacts during playback.
Bug found by Dalai, thanks!
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.
Some platforms are having hard time using this linker so added an option
to not use it. The options is an advanced one and enabled by default so
should not cause any changes for current users.
Request from Hjalti Hjalmarsson for the animation work.
Basically a common part of the workflow of animation is to change the pose, scrub back and forth a few times and roll back the changes when unsatisfied.
However if you go back and forth too many times the UNDO stack would be full, and it would not be possible to bring back the previous pose.
I'm leaving clip_editor change frames as it is for now. But we can
probably change the behaviour there as well.
Issue here was that py API code was keeping references (pointers) to the
liniked data-blocks, which can actually be duplicated and then deleted
during the 'make local' process...
Would have like to find a better way than passing optional GHash to get
the oldid->newid mapping, but could not think of a better idea.
Radial append/remove had swapped args and *slightly* different behavior.
- bmesh_radial_append(edge, loop)
- bmesh_radial_loop_remove(loop, edge)
Match logic for append/remove,
Logic for the one case where the edge needs to be left untouched
has been moved to: `bmesh_radial_loop_unlink`.
This is yet another debug option that allows to render an arbitrary
simulation field by using a color ramp to inspect its voxel values.
Note that when using this, fire rendering is turned off.

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.

This option allows to create a smoother transition between Bricks and Mortar - 0 applies no smoothing, and 1 smooths across the whole mortar width.
Mainly useful for displacement textures.
The new default value for the smoothing option is 0.1 to give some smoothing that helps with antialiasing, but existing nodes are loaded with smoothing 0 to preserve compatibility.

When using the Normal output of the Texture Coordinate node on Point and Spot lamps, the coordinates now depend on the rotation of the lamp.
On Area lamps, the Parametric output of the Geometry node now returns UV coordinates on the area lamp.
Credit for the Area lamp part goes to Stefan Werner (from D1995).

This avoids traversing the archive everytime object data is needed and
gives an overall consistent ~2x speedup here with files containing
between 136 and 500 Alembic objects. Also this somewhat nicely de-
duplicates code between data creation (upon import) and data streaming
(modifiers and constraints).
The only worying part is what happens when a CacheFile is deleted and/or
has its path changed. For now, we traverse the whole scene and for each
object using the CacheFile we free the pointer and NULL-ify it (see
BKE_cachefile_clean), but at some point this should be re-considered and
make use of the dependency graph.
