588e4a4327 Additional fix #32074, by Sven-Hendrik Haase (svenstaro). Boost version header must be included in cycles in order to expand the version check macro. 2012-07-29 13:52:38 +00:00

a87051bd8e Patch #32074: Fix compilation with boost 1.50
This patch switches from boost's filesystem v2 to v3.

This should be completely smooth due to filesystem v3 is pretty
old already.

Patch by Sven-Hendrik Haase (aka svenstaro), thanks!

92764260d7 Cycles: add option to cache BVH's between subsequent renders, storing the BVH on
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.

da376e0237 Cycles render engine, initial commit. This is the engine itself, blender modifications and build instructions will follow later.
Cycles uses code from some great open source projects, many thanks them:

* BVH building and traversal code from NVidia's "Understanding the Efficiency of Ray Traversal on GPUs":
http://code.google.com/p/understanding-the-efficiency-of-ray-traversal-on-gpus/
* Open Shading Language for a large part of the shading system:
http://code.google.com/p/openshadinglanguage/
* Blender for procedural textures and a few other nodes.
* Approximate Catmull Clark subdivision from NVidia Mesh tools:

* Sobol direction vectors from:
