- GLSL shader wasn't aware of alpha predivide option,
always assuming alpha is straight. Gave wrong results
when displaying transparent float buffers.
- GLSL display wasn't aware of float buffers with number
of channels different from 4, crashing when trying to
display image with different number of channels.
This required a bit larger changes, namely now it's
possible to pass format (GL_RGB, GL_RGBAm GL_LUMINANCE)
to glaDrawPixelsTex, This also implied adding format to
glaDrawPixelsAuto and modifying all places where this
functions are called.
Now GLSL will handle both 3 and 4 channels buffers,
single channel images are handled by CPU.
- Replaced hack for render result displaying with a bit
different hack.
Namely CPU conversion will happen only during render,
once render is done GLSL would be used for displaying
render result on a screen.
This is so because of the way renderer updates parts
of the image -- it happens without respect to active
render layer in image user. This is harmless because
only display buffer is modifying, but this is tricky
because we don't have original buffer opened during
rendering.
One more related fix here was about when rendering
multiple layers, wrong image would be displaying when
rendering is done. Added a signal to invalidate
display buffer once rendering is done (only happens
when using multiple layers). This solves issue with
wrong buffer stuck on the display when using regular
CPU display space transform and if GLSL is available
it'll make image displayed with a GLSL shader.
- As an additional change, byte buffers now also uses
GLSL display transform.
So now only dutehr and RGB curves are stoppers for
using GLSL for all kind of display transforms.
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.

Implementation notes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Render/Cycles/Subsurface_Scattering
Apparently C== allowed to have implementations of
OCIOImpl::setupGLSLDraw, OCIOImpl::finishGLSLDraw and
OCIOImpl::freeGLState in two different files.
STUPID!
* Unnecessary shader inputs inside the Mix Shader are now ignored, in case the factor is 0.0 / 1.0 and not connected.
This way we save some render time for complex node graphs.
Example: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=48226
Check the Mix Shader at the end: In this case, Cycles will now avoid the complete huge shader tree, and only calculate the Diffuse Shader.
Rendertime decreased from 1:50 min to 1:20 min on CPU. GPU rendering benefits as well from this.
This only affects SVM, OSL was already doing these optimizations.
Implemented using GLSL API from OpenColorIO library and
some general functions were added to it's c-api:
- OCIO_setupGLSLDraw prepares OpenGL context for GPU-based
transformation for a giver processor.
This function compiles and links shader, sets up it's
argument. After this transformation would be applied
on an image displaying as a 2D texture.
So, glaDrawPixelsTex called after OCIO_setupGLSLDraw will
do a proper color space transform.
- OCIO_finishGLSLDraw restores OpenGL context after all
color-managed display is over.
- OCIO_freeOGLState frees allocated state structure used
for cacheing some GLSL-related stuff.
There're some utility functions in IMB_colormanagent which
are basically proxies to lower level OCIO functions but
which could be used from any place in blender.
Chacheing of movie clip frame on GPU is also removed now,
and either glaDrawPixelsTex or glaDrawPixelsAuto are used
for display now. This is so no code duplication happens
now and no large textures are lurking around in GPU memory.
Known issues:
- Texture buffer and GLSL are no longer checking for
video card capabilities, possibly could lead to some
artifacts on crappy drivers/cards.
- Only float buffers are displaying using GLSL, byte
buffers will still use fallback display method.
This is to be addressed later.
- If RGB curves are used as a part of display transform,
GLSL display will also be disabled. This is also thing
to be solved later.
Additional changes:
- glaDrawPixelsTexScaled will now use RGBA16F as an
internal format of storing textures when it's used
to draw float buffer. This is needed so LUT are
applied without precision loss.
- pass string size to BLI_timestr() to avoid possible buffer overrun.
- quiet warning for mingw.
- include guards for windows utf conversion funcs.
- fix for mistage in edge-angle-selection check.
- some style cleanup.
Added new build option WITH_JACK_DYNLOAD for CMake and
WITH_BF_JACK_DYNLOAD for SCons, which means there'll be
no build-time linking against libjack and getting symbols
from libjack will happen runtime using dlopen and dlsym
tricks.
Alternative would be to use weak linking, but it'll require
having wrapper for preloading libjack.
This new options are disabled by default and they only
intended to be used on linux. Other platforms shall not
be using this and there shall be no functional changes
on non-linux platforms at all.
Mac OS X full screen: the old option to go full screen now didn't hide the
dock/topbar anymore. Also made it use dock auto-hide now, not permanent hide.
* Move OpenGL settings out of the film panel into its own.
Imho these should go completely elsewhere, but better separated than mixed with Cycles settings.
Blender now supports the 10.7+ "Full screen" mode, which pushes a window to a permanent
other "screen", with animated zoom and sliding.
Available via the icon in window header (right), Apple+F, or "Window" menu in top.
Works much nicer than Blender's own "full screen" option.
Todo: the zoom effect is still draws a bit ugly, because Blender doesn't have "live resize"
yet.
This commit basically implements frames prefetching for
movie clip datablock.
Number of frames to be prefetched is controlled in User
Preferences, System tab, Prefetch Frames option.
Currently prefetching is destructive-less for movie cache,
meaning mo frames will be removed from the cache when while
prefetching. This is because it's half of simplier to
implement, but it also makes sense from tracking point of
view -- we could want to playback in both directions and
removing frames from behind time cursor is not always a
good idea.
Anyway, smarter prefetching strategy could be developed
later.
Some implementation notes:
- Added MEM_CacheLimiter_get_memory_in_use function to get
memory usage of specified memory limiter.
- Fixed prototype of MEM_CacheLimiter_get_maximum which
was simply wrong (used wrong data type for output).
- Added some utility functions to movie clip and movie
cache for direct cache interaction and obtaining cache
statistics.
- Prefetching is implemented using general jobs system.
which is invoking from clip draw function.
- Prefetcing will stop as soon other job or playback starts.
This is done from performance point of view. Jobs will
likely require lots of CPU power and better to provide
whole CPU to it.
Playback is a bit more complicated case. For jpeg sequence
playback prefetching while paying back is nice. But trying
to prefetch heavy exr images and doing color space
conversion slows down both playback and prefetching.
TODO:
- Think of better policy of dealing with already cached frames
(like when cached frames from other clips prevents frames
from current clip to be prefetched)
- Currently a bit funky redraw notification happens from
prefetch job. Perhaps own ND_ is better to have here.
- Hiding clip while prefetch is active in theory shall stop
prefetching job.
- Having multiple clips opened on file load will prefetch
frames for only one of them.
The issue here was that the proxy nodes created for connecting extern group node sockets to the internal nodes were generated by the input/output nodes themselves.
0 input/output nodes: there would be no proxy that external group node sockets can map to
2+ input/output nodes: additional nodes would overwrite entries from previous nodes, so that only one of the input/output nodes would be used.
Solution is to always generate exactly 1 proxy node for every group socket in advance, regardless of whether it is used internally. Internal node sockets can then all map to this proxy node.
In the case out output nodes there should only ever be one active node, otherwise the connection to the proxy would be ambiguous. For this purpose the NODE_DO_OUTPUT flag has been exposed to RNA, so that cycles can check it and only use the active output.
