d43682d51b Cycles: Subsurface Scattering
New features:

* Bump mapping now works with SSS
* Texture Blur factor for SSS, see the documentation for details:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders#Subsurface_Scattering

Work in progress for feedback:

Initial implementation of the "BSSRDF Importance Sampling" paper, which uses
a different importance sampling method. It gives better quality results in
many ways, with the availability of both Cubic and Gaussian falloff functions,
but also tends to be more noisy when using the progressive integrator and does
not give great results with some geometry. It works quite well for the
non-progressive integrator and is often less noisy there.

This code may still change a lot, so unless you're testing it may be best to
stick to the Compatible falloff function.

Skin test render and file that takes advantage of the gaussian falloff:

6d9720ef63 Cycles / Blackbody to RGB node:
* Added a node to convert a temperature in Kelvin to an RGB color. This can be used e.g. for lights, to easily find the right color temperature. 
= Some common temperatures =
Candle light: 1500 Kelvin
Sunset/Sunrise: 1850 Kelvin
Studio lamps: 3200 Kelvin
Horizon daylight: 5000 Kelvin

Thanks to Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk), who essentially contributed to this with a patch! :)

This is part of my GSoC 2013 project. SVN merge of r57424, r57487, r57507, r57525, r58253 and r58774

e46551246c Fix #35272: cycles GPU crash with anisotropic shader in group node.
Problem was that due to group proxy node the anisotropic node did not detect
early enough that it needs generated texture coordinate data to generate the
tangent. Now the proxy nodes are removed earlier.

de9dffc61e Cycles: initial subsurface multiple scattering support. It's not working as
well as I would like, but it works, just add a subsurface scattering node and
you can use it like any other BSDF.

It is using fully raytraced sampling compatible with progressive rendering
and other more advanced rendering algorithms we might used in the future, and
it uses no extra memory so it's suitable for complex scenes.

Disadvantage is that it can be quite noisy and slow. Two limitations that will
be solved are that it does not work with bump mapping yet, and that the falloff
function used is a simple cubic function, it's not using the real BSSRDF
falloff function yet.

The node has a color input, along with a scattering radius for each RGB color
channel along with an overall scale factor for the radii.

There is also no GPU support yet, will test if I can get that working later.

a9d889cba4 Fix #33405: preview render getting stuck in a particular .blend file, ObjectKey
operator< had wrong brackets, changed it now to be more clear.

Fix #33404: crash GPU rendering with OSL option still enabled. There was a check
to disable OSL in this case, but it shouldn't have modified scene->params because
this is used for comparison in scene->modified().

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.

f99343d3b8 Cycles: Render Passes
Currently supported passes:
* Combined, Z, Normal, Object Index, Material Index, Emission, Environment,
  Diffuse/Glossy/Transmission x Direct/Indirect/Color

Not supported yet:
* UV, Vector, Mist

Only enabled for CPU devices at the moment, will do GPU tweaks tommorrow,
also for environment importance sampling.

9ebfcea8f3 Cycles: revert commit that joined surface/volume socket into a single shader socket,
on second thought this makes it a bit too difficult to understand what's going on.

7503a7edfb Cycles: replace surface/volume sockets in output nodes with a single shader socket,
decided it's better to render objects as either surface or volume.

This may break the volume rendering patch, but shaders with volume closures still
get tagged as having volume closures, so it should be fixable without too many
changes.

points.
