A group of object groups can be formed by means of the dupli_group option in
the Object properties window. The present revision extends the Selection by
Group option in the Freestyle Line Set so as to support not only flat object
groups but also nested groups.
We need to first split all vertices before we can reliably
check whether edge can be reused or not.
There is still known issue happening with a edge-fan mesh
with some faces being on the same plane.
This commit adds a way to debug Cycles motion blur issues which
are usually happening due to something crazy happening in between
of frames. Biggest trouble was that artists had no clue about
what's happening in subframes before they render. This is at
least inefficient workflow when dealing with motion blur shots
with complex animation.
Now there is an option in Time Line Editor which could be found
in View -> Show Subframe. This option will expose current frame
with it's subframe to the time line editor header and it'll allow
scrubbing with a subframe precision in time line editor.
Please note that none of the tools in Blender are aware of
subframe, so they'll likely be using current integer frame still.
This is something we don't consider a bug for now, the whole
purpose for now is to give a tool for investigation. Eventually
we'll likely tweak all tools to be aware of subframe.
Hopefully now we can finish the movie here in the studio..
Now new edges will be properly created between original and
new split vertices.
Now topology is correct, but shading is still not quite in
some special cases.
Doesn't currently change anything, but would need for some future
work here.
It uses existing padding in kernel BVH structure, so there is
nothing changed memory-wise.
The issue here was mainly coming from minimal pixel width feature
which is quite commonly enabled in production shots.
This feature will use some probabilistic heuristic in the curve
intersection function to check whether we need to return intersection
or not. This probability is calculated for every intersection check.
Now, when we use multiple BVH nodes for curve primitives we increase
probability of that primitive to be considered a good intersection
for us. This is similar to increasing minimal width of curve.
What is worst here is that change in the intersection probability
fully depends on exact layout of BVH, meaning probability might
change differently depending on a view angle, the way how builder
binned the primitives and such. This makes it impossible to do
simple check like dividing probability by number of BVH steps.
Other solution might have been to split BVH into fully independent
trees, but that will increase memory usage of all the static
objects in the scenes, which is also not something desirable.
For now used most simple but robust approach: store BVH primitives
time and test it in curve intersection functions. This solves the
regression, but has two downsides:
- Uses more memory.
which isn't surprising, and ANY solution to this problem will
use more memory.
What we still have to do is to avoid this memory increase for
cases when we don't use BVH motion steps.
- Reduces number of maximum available textures on pre-kepler cards.
There is not much we can do here, hardware gets old but we need
to move forward on more modern hardware..
The change was delivering broken topology for certain cases.
The assumption that new edge only connects new vertices was
wrong.
Reverting to a commit which was giving correct render results
but was using more memory.
This reverts commit af1e48e8ab.
The bug T46099 no longer applies since the addition of `dist_squared_to_projected_aabb_simple`
Has also been added comments that relates to an occlusion bug with the ruler. I'll investigate this.
When importing an Alembic file with grouped transforms, it would badly name the transforms, taking the name of the parent instead of its own.

Quite simple fix for now which only deals with this case. Maybe we want to do
some "clipping" on image load time so regular textures wouldn't give NaN as
well.
This allows us to use faster math and still have reliable
isnan/isfinite tests.
Only do it for host side, kernels stays unchanged.
Thanks Lukas Stockner for the tip!
The issue was caused by usage of non-initialized image user, which
could have different settings, causing some random image being loaded
or not loaded at all.
This caused non-deterministic behavior of Cycles image loading because
it was querying image information from several places.
This fixes crash reported in T50616, but it's not a complete fix
because preview rendering in material is wrong (same wrong as in
2.78a release).
We now assert that we now file version of libraries (needed for
do_version after linking step), so for missing libraries, set dummy
numbers (using version of main .blend file actually).
Works similar to regular Cycles tests, just does OpenGL render to
get output image.
Seems to work fine with the only funny effect: Blender window will
pop up for each of the tests. This is current limitation of our
OpenGL context. Might be changed in the future.
