Seems i was the only one who was really up to using it and
i do have gcc-5 finally backported and installed here so
such a fine-tune flags are no longer needed.
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

Use new GPU_legacy_support() function.
Determine GLSL version once instead of per shader.
For Texture Buffers, allow ARB or EXT version of the extension. Either
one will do.
My previous edit to this check was too lax.
OSD's shader for the Transform Feedback evaluator declares itself
#version 410 so disable the feature if user's GL < 4.1.
Input array length is implicitly set at link time, based on the geometry
shader's layout. Specifying the wrong value here is an error; specifying
no value is the same as getting it right. (inspired by a recent codegen
change)
GLSL 130, 140, 150 with extensions as needed.
Similar logic to my recent gpu_extensions changes.
Partially fixes T46706. Matcaps now work with OpenSubdiv, as do basic
materials. Anything with UV coordinates is still broken.
Fixed extension check.
This feature requires ARB_texture_buffer_object which was subsumed into
OpenGL 3.0. Intel driver on Windows doesn't claim to support this
extension, but GL version is > 3 so it actually does work.
There was a bug in OpenSubdiv library which is now fixed by updating library in
the build environments.
Still requires testing, but now being at the beginning of release cycle is
should be safe to simply enable option and let everyone to test :)
Disable Intel cards for until we'll go to the root of the issue of the crash.
This will take a bit, so being so close to the release we go safe and disable
unstable GPU, so blender at least doesn't crash.
This could be bypassed by setting OPENSUBDIV_ALLOW_INTEL environment variable.
This isn't a Blender issue and the same bug happens with official OpenSubdiv
examples. For until it's either worked around from OpenSubdiv side or fixed
in the driver we'll force disable GLSL Compute for AMD hardware.
Uniform block data layout was different on CPU and GPU which caused wrong
data being used from shader.
In theory using layout(std140) is what we need to do, but for some reason
such layout specifier is being ignored. This is probably caused by the way
how we exploit extensions from older version of glsl.
For until we've upgraded our glsl pipeline used different approach which
is basically about removing unused fields form the struct manual in hope
that it'll keep memory layout consistent for both CPU and GPU.
This seems to work so far for both NVidia GTX580 and AMD FirePro W8000
here in the studio.
It's hopefully no longer needed, at least not needed for as long as
single ptex face corresponds to a single patch which should be always
correct for uniform subdivisions as far as i know.
Implementation is less optimal compared to non-opensubdiv drawing but
it is now as good as we can do it without affecting on how patches are
being created by OpenSubdiv.
Use vertex varying data which gives better approximation of normals.
Still not ideal but should be closer for higher poly meshes to correct
normal.
The only way to have proper smooth normals seems to be to implement
patch evaluation in tessellation shader, but that's a bit PITA with
current GLSL usage in our draw code.
In fact exit was getting called because we
had an error in shader compilation:
Uniform buffer objects are in fact required.
Since it looks like original intent was to
write the shader against older GLSL version,
I will be adding an extension here instead
of a version.
Thanks to Anshu Arya for letting me borrow his machine through
VPN to do the debugging :)
This is currently a requirement of OpenSudiv and original orientation code
was depending on this quite a lot.
This makes mesh conversion and comparison slower but solves some crashes.
With some trickery it could be optimized and become closer to original
performance.
Probably Campbell has some nice ideas here as well :)
The idea is to cut as much code as possible and use compile-time
ifdefs rather than runtime if() statements.
Gives about 2x speedup on catmark_car model from OpenSubdiv repository
making our FPS much closer to what glViewer is capable of.
