When using triangle primitives this fix enables 'closed tip'.
UVs and vertex colours are added when using triangle primitives for hair.
Two new preset modes have also been included to allow easy access to curves and triangle planes.
Issue was caused by cycles trying to find builtin images in a main
database and in case of preview render images are not in database,
they're just referenced by shader node tree.
Now builtin images in cycles have got void* pointer to store data
needed to load builtin images.
In case ob blender session, this pointer will store pointer from
PointerRNA for image datablock and used later to construct Image
class based on this pointer.
This also saves database lookup for final render which is nice :)

Addition of a RNA function to toggle between the hair settings and rebuild the cache. This enables the usage of the render step, child number and full display percentage with f12 rendering.
A scaling to the strand radius has also been added for the static bvh. This only matches up with dynamic for uniform scaling.
A very small fix is included for multiple uvs/vertex colours when using child particles.
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.
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.
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.
Patch [#33445] - Experimental Cycles Hair Rendering (CPU only)
This patch allows hair data to be exported to cycles and introduces a new line segment primitive to render with.
The UI appears under the particle tab and there is a new hair info node available.
It is only available under the experimental feature set and for cpu rendering.
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().
Also some simple OSL optimization, passing thread data pointer directly instead
of via thread local storage, and creating ustrings for attribute lookup.
