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.

e9ba345c46 New feature
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.

536d9fec80 code cleanup:
- move object_iterators.c --> view3d_iterators. (ED_object.h had to include ED_view3d.h which isn't so nice)
- move projection functions from view3d_view.c --> view3d_project.c (view3d_view was becoming a mishmash of utility functions and operators).
- some some cmake includes as system-includes.

b0c7c8756f code cleanup: cycles now uses system includes for boost/oiio.. etc, so we dont get warnings from system headers. 2012-09-20 09:04:43 +00:00

f0d2477484 Fix for #32184 and redesign of particle storage in Cycles.
The particle data used by the Particle Info node was stored in cycles as a list in each object. This is a problem when the particle emitter mesh is hidden: Objects in cycles are only intended as instances of renderable meshes, so when hiding the emitter mesh the particle data doesn't get stored either. Also the particle data can potentially be copied to multiple instances of the same object, which is a waste of texture space.

The solution in this patch is to make a completely separate list of particle systems in the Cycles scene data. This way the particle data can be generated even when the emitter object itself is not visible.

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.

cd9b51c1bf add some missing headers to cmake, also add some files as comments since it seems they should be added but evidently work fine without. 2011-11-10 06:05:22 +00:00

bae896691a Cycles:
* Add alpha pass output, to use set Transparent option in Film panel.
* Add Holdout closure (OSL terminology), this is like the Sky option in the
  internal renderer, objects with this closure show the background / zero
  alpha.
* Add option to use Gaussian instead of Box pixel filter in the UI.
* Remove camera response curves for now, they don't really belong here in
  the pipeline, should be moved to compositor.

* Output full float values for rendering now, previously was only byte precision.
* Add a patch from Thomas to get a preview passes option, but still disabled
  because it isn't quite working right yet.
* CUDA: don't compile shader graph evaluation inline.
* Convert tabs to spaces in python files.

360fcd73fe Cycles:
* add some (disabled) test code for using OpenImageIO in imbuf
* link cycles, openimageio and boost into blender instead of a shared library
* some cmakefile changes to simplify the code and follow conventions better
* this may solve running cycles problems on windows XP, or give a different
  and hopefully more useful error message
