A new hair bsdf node, with two closure options, is added. These closures allow the generation of the reflective and transmission components of hair. The node allows control of the highlight colour, roughness and angular shift.
Llimitations include:
-No glint or fresnel adjustments.
-The 'offset' is un-used when triangle primitives are used.
This commit includes all the changes made for plane tracker
in tomato branch.
Movie clip editor changes:
- Artist might create a plane track out of multiple point
tracks which belongs to the same track (minimum amount of
point tracks is 4, maximum is not actually limited).
When new plane track is added, it's getting "tracked"
across all point tracks, which makes it stick to the same
plane point tracks belong to.
- After plane track was added, it need to be manually adjusted
in a way it covers feature one might to mask/replace.
General transform tools (G, R, S) or sliding corners with
a mouse could be sued for this. Plane corner which
corresponds to left bottom image corner has got X/Y axis
on it (red is for X axis, green for Y).
- Re-adjusting plane corners makes plane to be "re-tracked"
for the frames sequence between current frame and next
and previous keyframes.
- Kayframes might be removed from the plane, using Shit-X
(Marker Delete) operator. However, currently manual
re-adjustment or "re-track" trigger is needed.
Compositor changes:
- Added new node called Plane Track Deform.
- User selects which plane track to use (for this he need
to select movie clip datablock, object and track names).
- Node gets an image input, which need to be warped into
the plane.
- Node outputs:
* Input image warped into the plane.
* Plane, rasterized to a mask.
Masking changes:
- Mask points might be parented to a plane track, which
makes this point deforming in a way as if it belongs
to the tracked plane.

This is mine and Keir's holiday code project :)
* First step towards a new vector transform node, to convert Points/Vectors between World/Object/Camera space.
This only contains the Blender UI, RNA... code, no Cycles integration yet.
* Added a node to convert wavelength (in nanometer, from 380nm to 780nm) to RGB values. This can be useful to match real world colors easier.

ToDo:
* Move some functions into an util file, maybe a common util_color.h or so.
* Test GPU, unfortunately sm_21 doesn't work for me yet.
non-group trees (node trees not in the bpy.data.node_groups collection) to avoid confusion. For that purpose a new optional poll function argument has been added to NodeItem, which allows selectively
polling individual items in an otherwise static list.
* Use unified node sizes, as already was done with compositor nodes. Only Mapping node uses a custom size. This way we don't have too small nodes on creation anymore.
* Don't show Script Category for Blender Internal nodes.
Eventually a context menu for nodes could be a nicer solution: right-click on node link opening a popup with operators for the node, socket or link under cursor, including option "Insert Reroute".
* Have all "Info" nodes next to each other.
* Moved "Material Output" to the top.
* Have all light shaders (Emission, Background, AO) next to each other.
As some people have already noticed, the "Add" menu for nodes is a bit messy since pynodes merge. The reason for this is that the order of nodes in submenus (categories) was previously defined by the order in which all nodes are registered (at the bottom of blenkernel/intern/node.c). For the dynamic registration of node types now possible this system of defining node order along with registration is no longer viable: while it would still sort of work for C nodes, it is completely meaningless for dynamic (python) nodes, which are basically registered automatically in whatever order modules and addons are loaded, with the added complexity of unloading and reloading.
To fix this problem and add a bunch of desirable features this commit replaces the C menu with a python implementation. The new menu does not rely on any particular order of types in the node registry, but instead uses a simple explicit list of all the available nodes, grouped by categories (in scripts/nodeitems_builtins.py).
There are a number of additional features that become possible with this implementation:
1) Node Toolbar can be populated!
The list of nodes is used to create 2 UI items for each node: 1 entry in a submenu of "Add" menu and 1 item in a node toolbar panel with basically the same functionality. Clicking a button in the toolbar will add a new node of this type, just like selecting an item in the menu. The toolbar has the advantage of having collapsible panels for each category, so users can decide if they don't need certain nodes categories and have the rest more easily accessible.
2) Each node item is a true operator call.
The old Add menu is a pretty old piece of C code which doesn't even use proper operator buttons. Now there is a generic node_add operator which can be used very flexibly for adding any of the available nodes.
3) Node Items support additional settings.
Each "NodeItem" consists of the basic node type plus an optional list of initial settings that shall be applied to a new instance. This gives additional flexibility for creating variants of the same node or for defining preferred initial settings. E.g. it has been requested to disable previews for all nodes except inputs, this would be simple change in the py code and much less intrusive than in C.
4) Node items can be generated with a function.
A callback can be used in any category instead of the fixed list, which generates a set of items based on the context (much like dynamic enum items in bpy.props). Originally this was implemented for group nodes, because these nodes only make sense when linked to a node tree from the library data. This principle could come in handy for a number of other nodes, e.g. Image nodes could provide a similar list of node variants based on images in the library - no need to first add node, then select an image.
WARNING: pynodes scripters will have to rework their "draw_add_menu" callback in node tree types, this has been removed now! It was already pretty redundant, since one can add draw functions to the Add menu just like for any other menu. In the future i'd like to improve the categories system further so scripters can use it for custom node systems too, for now just make a draw callback and attach it to the Add menu.
