for Apple OpenCL on OS X 10.8 and simple AO render.
Also environment variable CYCLES_OPENCL_TEST can now be set to CPU, GPU,
ACCELERATOR, DEFAULT or ALL values to test particuler devices.
give results that were either too weak or too strong, this makes it give more
predictable results. The downside is that it breaks backwards compatibility but
the previous behavior was almost broken.
* Code refactor of tile ordering to simplify the code and avoid some branching.
* Changed the Center method, so it really follows center -> corners, instead of the BI method, which was confusing sometimes.
the Bump node has a Normal input, so you can chain it after a Normal Map node.
Note that normal mapping always has to be done first because it is tied to the
particular mesh surface and tangents.
after a bugfix for precision issues with low roughness. Now it renders them as
perfectly sharp which avoids the problematic calculations rather than increasing
the roughness.
Fixed by adding a "texture_user_property" member to spacebuts' context, and using it to get the prop identifier in ui script.
Thanks to Brecht for its advice!
The problem was (again) the x86 extended precision float register being used for
one float value while the other was rounded to lower precision. This caused the
strictly weak order requirement for std::sort to be broken.
a maximized Blender window in Ubuntu Unity. The window size would slightly change
as part of the unminimize effect.
Now cycles waits 0.2 seconds before restarting rendering after a viewport resize,
also a bit less flickery when changing the 3d view size in Blender itself.
and preview running at the same time.
It seems there's something in OSL/LLVM that's not thread safe, but I couldn't
figure out what exactly. Now all renders share the same OSL ShadingSystem which
should avoid the problem.
Now there is a single BVH traversal code with #ifdefs for various features.
At runtime it will then select the appropriate variation to use depending if
instancing, hair or motion blur is in use.
This makes scenes without hair render a bit faster, especially after the
minimum width feature was added. It's not the most beautiful code, but we can't
use c++ templates and there were already 4 copies, adding 4 more to handle the
hair case separately would be too much.
panel now has an option to specify how to use them. There's three options:
* Use: render layer samples override scene samples
* Bounded: bound render layer samples by scene samples
* Ignore: ignore render layer sample settings
Code is added to restrict the pixel size of strands in cycles. It works best with ribbon primitives and a preset for these is included. It uses distance dependent expansion of the strands and then stochastic strand removal to give a fading. To prevent a slowdown for triangle mesh objects in the BVH an extra visibility flag has been added. It is also only applied for camera rays.
The strand width settings are also changed, so that the particle size is not included in the width calculation. Instead there is a separate particle system parameter for width scaling.
low roughness and same index of refraction.
Problem was bad float precision due to low roughness, which caused the pdf for
the different closures to not match properly.
* Cycles Render layers UI was broken after freestyle merge (changes were not merged). Did manual edits now with some tweaks.
* Some layout fixes for Mask Layer.
per render layer samples in addition to the progress bar.
Also fixed job progress bar not working at all on high DPI / retina, was so small
the actual progress was not visible.
