Added export of multiple UV coordinates and vertex colour attributes.
A debugging option to export the strands without using the cache has also been removed.
Add operators to add/remove rigid body world and objects.
Add UI scripts.
The rigid body simulation works on scene level and overrides the
position/orientation of rigid bodies when active.
It does not deform meshes or generate data so there is no modifier.
Usage:
* Add rigid body world in the scene tab
* Create a group
* Add objects to the group
* Assign group to the rigid body world
* Play animation
For convenience the rigid body tools operators in the tools panel of the 3d view
will add a world, group and add objects to the group automatically so you only have
to press one button to add/remove rigid bodies to the simulation.

This adds support of movie textures for Cycles rendering.
Uses the same builtin images routines as packed/generated images,
but with some extra non-rna hookups from blender_session side.
Basically, it's not so clear how to give access to video frames
via C++ RNA -- it'll require exposing ImBuf to API, doing some
threading locks and so. Ended up adding two more functions which
are actually bad level call, but don't consider it's so much bad
-- we have few bad calls already, which are actually related.
Changed a bit how builtin images names are passing to image
manager. Now it's not just an ID datablock name, but also a frame
number concatenated via '@' character, which makes itpossible to
easily know frame number to be used for movie images, without
adding extra descriptors to image manager.
Decoding of builtin name is a bit slower now, but it should be
still nothing in comparison with rendering complexity.
Also exposed image user's frame_current to python API, which
is needed to get absolute frame number of movie from node's
image user.
P.S. Generated/packed images are also using bad level call but
only does it to make things more clear here. Either all images
are using C++ RNA here or no images does. That's the most clear
for now.
The curve segment primitive has been added. This includes an intersection function and changes to the BVH.
A few small errors in the line segment intersection routine are also fixed.
* CUDA: Make it more clear that sm_12 and below is not supported.
* OpenCL: __KERNEL_SHADING__ was declared twice for nvidia opencl device.
* Some reshuffle of defines in kernel_types.h. No functional changes.
precompiled cubins instead,
Logic here is following now:
- If there're precompiled cubins, assume CUDA compute is available,
otherwise
- If cuda toolkit found, assume CUDA compute is available
- In all other cases CUDA compute is not available
For windows there're still check for only precompiled binaries,
no runtime compilation is allowed.
Ended up with such decision after discussion with Brecht. The thing
is, if we'll support runtime compilation on windows we'll end up
having lots of reports about different aspects of something doesn't
work (you need particular toolkit version, msvc installed, environment
variables set properly and so) and giving feedback on such reports
will waste time.
makes CPU kernel compilation much faster when using MSVC.
Sideeffect of this change is that CPU rendering is few percent
faster now. CUDA rendering is the same speed.
This commit adds support of packed and generated images
for Cycles when using SVM backend. Movies are still not
supported. This changes also doesn't touch OSL which is
much less trivial to adopt for any images which are not
saved to disk.
Implementation details:
- When adding images to Image Manager is now possible
to mark image as builtin. Builtin images will bypass
OIIO loader and will use special loading callbacks.
- Callbacks are set by Blender Session and they're
using C++ RNA interface to obtain needed data (pixels,
dimensions, is_float flag).
- Image Manager assumes file path is used as reference
to a builtin images, but in fact currently image
datablock name is used for reference. This makes it
easy to find an image in BlendData database.
- Added some extra properties to Image RNA:
* channels, which denotes actual number of channels
in ImBuf. This is needed to treat image's pixels
correct (before it wasn't possible because API
used internal number of channels for pixels which
is in fact doesn't correlate with image depth)
* is_float, which is truth if image is stored in
float buffer of ImBuf.
- Implemented string lookup for C++ RNA collections
for cases there's no manual lookup function.
OSL is not supported because it used own image loading
and filtering routines and there's seems to be no API
to feed pre-loaded pixels directly to the library.
Think we'll either need to add some API to support
such kind of feeding or consider OSL does not have
support of packed images at all.
Movies are not supported at this moment because of lack
of RNA API to load specified frame. It's not difficult
to solve, just need to consider what to best here:
* Either write some general python interface for ImBuf
and use it via C++ API, or
* Write a PY API function which will return pixels for
given frame, or
* Use bad-level BKE_* call
Anyway, small steps, further improvements later.
Reviewed by Brecht, thanks!
big lamps and sharp glossy reflections. This was already supported for mesh
lights and the background, so lamps should do it too.
This is not for free and it's a bit slower than I hoped even though there is
no extra BVH ray intersection. I'll try to optimize it more later.
* Area lights look a bit different now, they had the wrong shape before.
* Also fixes a sampling issue in the non-progressive integrator.
* Only enabled for the CPU, will test on the GPU later.
* An option to disable this will be added for situations where it does not help.
Same time comparison before/after:

* Added new option to chose the tile order.
In addition to the "Center" method, 4 new methods are available now, like Top -> Bottom and Right -> Left.
Thanks to Sergey for code review and some tweaks!
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.
This commit implements highlight of tiles which are being currently
rendered for both Blender Internal and Cycles (and should be possible
to use it for other external engines as well).
Couple of implementation details:
- Added one extra boolean flag to render engine which should be set
to truth if render engine wants to highlight tiles. If so, property
use_highlight_tiles should be set to True.
- Render Part's ready boolena was changed by status enum, which could
be NONE, IN_PROGRESS and READY. All render part with IN_PROGRESS
status will be highlighted in image editor.
- For external engines render part's status is filling in automatically.
Initially all render parts has got NONE status, then one external
engine acquire render result, corresponding part will change status
to IN_PROGRESS. As soon as render result is finished, corresponding
render part will change status to FINISHED
This should make it easy to highlight tiles for other engines as well.
This assumptions are now made:
- Internally float buffers are always linear alpha-premul colors
- Readers should worry about delivering float buffers with that
assumptions.
- There's an input image setting to say whether it's stored with
straight/premul alpha on the disk.
- Byte buffers are now assumed have straight alpha, readers should
deliver straight alpha.
Some implementation details:
- Removed scene's color unpremultiply setting, which was very
much confusing and was wrong for default settings.
Now all renderers assumes to deliver premultiplied alpha.
- IMB_buffer_byte_from_float will now linearize alpha when
converting from buffer.
- Sequencer's effects were changed to assume bytes have got
straight alpha. Most of effects will work with bytes still,
however for glow it was more tricky to avoid data loss, so
there's a commented out glow implementation which converts
byte buffer to floats first, operates on floats and returns
bytes back. It's slower and not sure if it should actually
be used -- who're using glow on alpha anyway?
- Sequencer modifiers should also be working nice with straight
bytes now.
- GLSL preview will predivide float textures to make nice shading,
shading with byte textures worked nice (GLSL was assuming straight
alpha).
- Blender Internal will set alpha=1 to the whole sky. The same
happens in Cycles and there's no way to avoid this -- sky is
neither straight nor premul and doesn't fit color pipeline well.
- Straight alpha mode for render result was also eliminated.
- Conversion to correct alpha need to be done before linearizing
float buffer.
- TIFF will now load and save files with proper alpha mode setting
in file meta data header.
- Remove Use Alpha from texture mapping and replaced with image
datablock setting.
Behaves much more predictable and clear from code point of view
and solves possible regressions when non-premultiplied images were
used as textures with ignoring alpha channel.
for not finding it in review.
Also removed the hard limits on motion blur shutter time, soft limits are still
the same but it can be useful to set things lower/higher in some cases.
