The main new feature is mixed variable declarations and code, which can help
reduce uninitialized variables or accidental variable reuse.
Due to incomplete C99 support in VS 2013, variable length arrays are not
supported, BLI_array_alloca must still be used. The header <tgmath.h> is also
not supported.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D1631
CMake 3.0 ignores the suffixed COMPILE_DEFINITIONS_<CONFIG> variants if policy
CMP0043 is NEW, preferring instead to consume the unsuffixed COMPILE_DEFINITONS
property and evaluate generator expressions in it.
Setting the policy to OLD causes CMake 3.0 to not ignore those properties.
Use the suffixed properties for compatibility only for CMake versions older
than 3.0 using an explicit version check. Use the non-suffixed property with
generator expressions otherwise.
These definitions should mostly not be needed at all - CMake already sets
NDEBUG in suffixed CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables. The _DEBUG macro is
non-standard, but is used in several places in blender (usually in an OR
combination with the DEBUG macro). Additionally, blender overwrites (instead
of appending to) the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_<CONFIG> variables on WIN32.
Rather than try to fundamentally change how debug-macros are handled in
blender, change the buildsystem to keep the same behavior without requiring the
CMP0043 policy set to OLD.
This commit makes sure Linux and Windows buildbots are using OpenSubdiv
and also enables OpenSubdiv by default on Windows.
OSX is kept disabled still, this is due to OpenGL restrictions which are
not solved in any way yet.
Linux is defaults to OpenSubdiv disabled because it needs precompiled
library.
The documentation could be found there:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/OpenSubdiv
- rename WITH_EXTERNAL_AUDASPACE to WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE.
- rename C/PYAUDASPACE to AUDASPACE_C/PY
- simplifying cmake defines and includes.
- fixing include paths and enabling WITH_SYSTEM_AUDASPACE for windows.
- fixing scons building.
- other minor build system fixes.
Previously Linux had disabled libs that were enabled on other platforms.
Use a reduced feature set on all, since libs such as Jack & OSL aren't totally reliable on Win/OSX.
Keep 'option_defaults_init' since platform maintainers may want to adjust later.
This commit contains all the remained parts needed for initial integration of
OpenSubdiv into Blender's subdivision surface code. Includes both GPU and CPU
backends which works in the following way:
- When SubSurf modifier is the last in the modifiers stack then GPU pipeline
of OpenSubdiv is used, making viewport performance as fast as possible.
This also requires graphscard with GLSL 1.5 support. If this requirement is
not met, then no GPU pipeline is used at all.
- If SubSurf is not a last modifier or if DerivesMesh is being evaluated for
rendering then CPU limit evaluation API from OpenSubdiv is used. This only
replaces the legacy evaluation code from CCGSubSurf_legacy, but keeps CCG
structures exactly the same as they used to be for ages now.
This integration is fully covered with ifdef and not enabled by default
because there are several TODOs to be solved first:
- Face varying data interpolation is not really cleanly implemented for GPU
in OpenSubdiv 3.0. It is also not implemented for limit evaluation API.
This basically means we'll have really hard time supporting UVs.
- Limit evaluation only works with adaptivly subdivided meshes so far, which
basically means all the points of CCG are pushed to the limit. This gives
different result from old code.
- There are some serious optimizations possible on the topology refiner
creation, which would speed up initial OpenSubdiv mesh creation.
- There are some hardcoded asumptions in the GPU and DerivedMesh areas which
could be generalized.
That's something where Antony and Campbell can help, making it so the code
is structured in a way which is reusable by all planned viewport projects.
- There are also some workarounds in the dependency graph to make sure OpenGL
buffers are only freed from the main thread.
Those who'll be wanting to make experiments with this code should grab dev
branch (NOT master) from
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenSubdiv/tree/dev
There are some patches applied in there which we're working on on getting
into upstream.
It is rather annoying attitude nowadays to use const qualifier all over the
place, including using it for multi-dimensional arrays. This isn't really
supported in GCC prior to version 5.0 because it considers such an arrays
to be a "pointer to a const pointer" which gives implicit casting errors.
It's not possible to disable this particular type of warnings treated as
errors in any GCC version prior to 5.0 as well, meaning currently usage of
-Werror globally in Blender code is not possible at all.
This commit makes it possible to use -Werror in areas which are complaint
with older GCC versions. New advanced CMake options are:
- WITH_COMPOSITOR_WERROR
- WITH_LIBMV_WERROR
- WITH_CYCLES_WERROR
option.
This makes sense, since contexts get created at runtime, there is little
reason to require recompilation for this.
Only works on linux currently, will be doing more OSs later
Performance tests now have their own CMake macro, which ensures they do not get
added to ctest list, so we do not have to bother about them anymore, and can always
build them (when GTests are enabled, of course).
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
