8f33538fab Cycles code refactor: add motion sampled normals attribute. 2014-03-29 13:03:46 +01:00
99f5993088 Cycles code refactor: improve vertex motion attribute storage and export.
This now supports multiple steps and subframe sampling of motion.

There is one difference for object and camera transform motion blur. It still
only supports two steps there, but the transforms are now sampled at subframe
times instead of the previous and next frame and then interpolated/extrapolated.
This will give different render results in some cases but it's more accurate.

Part of the code is from the summer of code project by Gavin Howard, but it has
been significantly rewritten and extended.

9cd2b19999 Cycles Volume Render: generated texture coordinates for volume render.
This does not support staying fixed while the surface deforms, but for static
meshes it should match up with the surface texture coordinates. Implemented
as a matrix transform from objects space to mesh texture space.

Making this work for deforming surfaces would be quite complicated, you might
need something like harmonic coordinates as used in the mesh deform modifier,
probably will not be possible anytime soon.

44d1c92e60 Cycles: add ptex face ID and UV attributes.
Not the most memory efficient way to store these things but it's simple and
implementing it better requires some work to natively support subd grids as
a primitive in some way.

2fd11a6617 Updates for the Cycle Hair UI. With the following changes
- Removed the cycles subdivision and interpolation of hairkeys.
- Removed the parent settings.
- Removed all of the advanced settings and presets.
- This simplifies the UI to a few settings for the primitive type and a shape mode.

bf25f1ea96 Cycles Hair: refactoring to store curves with the index of the first key and the
number of keys in the curve, rather than curve segments with the indices of two
keys. ShaderData.segment now stores the segment number in the curve.

57cf48e7c6 Cycles Hair: refactoring to support generic attributes for hair curves. There
should be no functional changes yet. UV, tangent and intercept are now stored
as attributes, with the intention to add more like multiple uv's, vertex
colors, generated coordinates and motion vectors later.

Things got a bit messy due to having both triangle and curve data in the same
mesh data structure, which also gives us two sets of attributes. This will get
cleaned up when we split the mesh class.

27d647dcf8 Cycles: 4 new nodes.
* Tangent: generate a tangent direction for anisotropic shading. Can be either
  radial around X/Y/Z axis, or from a UV map. The default tangent for the
  anisotropic BSDF and geometry node is now always radial Z, for UV tangent use
  this node now.

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/More#Tangent

* Normal Map: generate a perturbed normal from an RGB normal map image. This
  is usually chained with an Image Texture node in the color input, to specify
  the normal map image. For tangent space normal maps, the UV coordinates for
  the image must match, and the image texture should be set to Non-Color mode
  to give correct results.

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/More#Normal_Map

* Refraction BSDF: for best results this node should be considered as a building
  block and not be used on its own, but rather mixed with a glossy node using a
  fresnel type factor. Otherwise it will give quite dark results at the edges for
  glossy refraction.

http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders#Refraction

* Ambient Occlusion: controls the amount of AO a surface receives, rather than
  having just a global factor in the world. Note that this outputs a shader and
  not a color, that's for another time.

9db3f2368c Cycles: use mikktspace now for computing tangents from UV maps. This avoids ugly
averaged tangents at UV seams but instead now the seams will show as discontinuities
in the tangent.

f0a9b66469 Cycles: Anisotropic BSDF enabled, with tangents now computed from the active UV map.
It's using the Ward BSDF currently, which has some energy loss so might be a bit
dark. More/better BSDF options can be implemented later.

Patch by Mike Farnsworth, some modifications by me. Currently it's not possible yet
to set a custom tangent, that will follow as part of per-bsdf normals patch.

1d8c798188 Cycles: support for motion vector and UV passes.
Most of the changes are related to adding support for motion data throughout
the code. There's some code for actual camera/object motion blur raytracing
but it's unfinished (it badly slows down the raytracing kernel even when the
option is turned off), so that code it disabled still.

Motion vector export from Blender tries to avoid computing derived meshes
when the mesh does not have a deforming modifier, and it also won't store
motion vectors for every vertex if only the object or camera is moving.
