existing "Equirectangular". This projection is useful to create light probes
from a chrome ball placed in a real scene. It expects as input a photograph of
the chrome ball, cropped so the ball just fits inside the image boundaries.
Example setup with panorama camera and mixing two (poor quality) photographs
from different viewpoints to avoid stretching and hide the photographer:

and 5 float image textures. For CPU render this limit will be lifted later
on with image cache support. Patch by Mike Farnsworth.
Also changed color space option in image/environment texture node, to show
options Color and Non-Color Data, instead of sRGB and Linear, this is more
descriptive, and it was not really correct to equate Non-Color Data with
Linear.
By default lighting from the world is computed solely with indirect light
sampling. However for more complex environment maps this can be too noisy, as
sampling the BSDF may not easily find the highlights in the environment map
image. By enabling this option, the world background will be sampled as a lamp,
with lighter parts automatically given more samples.
Map Resolution specifies the size of the importance map (res x res). Before
rendering starts, an importance map is generated by "baking" a grayscale image
from the world shader. This will then be used to determine which parts of the
background are light and so should receive more samples than darker parts.
Higher resolutions will result in more accurate sampling but take more setup
time and memory.
Patch by Mike Farnsworth, thanks!
* Passes renamed to samples
* Camera lens radius renamed to aperature size/blades/rotation
* Glass and fresnel nodes input is now index of refraction
* Glossy and velvet fresnel socket removed
* Mix/add closure node renamed to mix/add shader node
* Blend weight node added for shader mixing weights
There is some version patching code for reading existing files, but it's not
perfect, so shaders may work a bit different.
be automated but need to think about how to do this, not so simply in a node
system. But guideline for now is, for color textures set to sRGB, for things like
bump or roughness map, set to Linear.
