simulations.
This commits implements OpenVDB as an extra cache format in the Point
Cache system for smoke simulations. Compilation with the library is
turned off by default for now, and shall be enabled when the library is
present.
A documentation of its doings is available here: http://
wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Kevindietrich/OpenVDBSmokeExport.
A guide to compile OpenVDB can be found here (Linux): http://

The main purpose of such linking is to make Blender compatible with
NVidia's debuggers and profilers which are doing some LD_PRELOAD
magic to intercept some function calls. Such magic conflicts with
our CUDA wrangler magic and causes segmentation faults.
The option is disabled by default, so there's no affect on any of
artists.
In order to make Blender linked directly against CUDA library use
the WITH_CUDA_DYNLOAD CMake option (it's marked as advanced).
The idea is to split them into two separate targets and have dedicated include
directories list for each of them in order to avoid some annoying include header
modifications in comparison with upstream.

While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

cmake_qtcreator_project.py now takes a '--build-dir' argument.
Since introduction of argparse, accessing last argv from project_info is no longer working.
Now require a call to project_info.init before use.
This is so called "seems to work in dry tests" commit which is aimed to switch
linux release environment to CMake.
Some notes:
- There's no special handle of libstdc++, but it wasn't really static for quite
some time in SCons configuration and nobody really complained.
- It was quite tricky to get OpenMP linked statically with just using some
configuration so we went ahead and added a special option to CMake now which is
only exist on Linux and advertised as shouldn't be used.
- Packing is happening manually in slave_pack.py. This is because we have to add
some really special files to the archive (mesa libraries for example) which we
can't really handle from CMake/CPack in a nice generic way.
Don't think it's bad approach, at least crappynness is localized and it's not
_that_ crappy anyway.
- Windows buildbot should keep working, but needs doublechecing. It's just a
build folder changed, but you never know what it might imply.
- Some further tweaks are likely needed to ensure all builders are working.
Thanks Campbell for assistance in this patch!
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.
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:

- 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.
Upstream is not always configured ad might give empty results.
Ideally we need to re-use the same code as we use for buildinfo,
but it's also a bit of a question which exact hash we want to put
to the name by default.
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.
This includes C-API bindings in intern/opensubdiv and CMAke module
which finds the OpenSubdiv library. This filea are not in use so
far, making it a separate commit to make actual integration commit
more clear.
Title says pretty much everything. For now, only thing available is a solver of eigen
values/vectors for self-adjoint matrices.
We can easily add more when needed.
Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for quick review.
