Blender Git Loki

standalone python module for reading scene, start, end frames from the blendfile (without blender). from blender 2.4x, ported to python3, added gzip support.

Render Branch: some more changes to go with recent commit.

Render Branch: strands rendering now does raytraced ao/env/indirect at the
root of the strand just like approximate.

Render Branch: render subdivide for displacement now works with orco's
(generated coordinates), still not for uvs.

Render Branch: fix a crash in preview rendering.

Render Branch: pass on object to get orco cube mapping again.

Render Branch: strand coords now use same storage system as others tex coords.

re-project paint failed on no-camera when a camera wasnt needed.

Render Branch: attempt to fix merge problem, addons directory seems to
still be local and using external repository at the same time? Also fix
two differences in python scripts.

Render Branch: orco's now use same storage system as other texture coordinates.

Render Branch: move particle conversion into own file.

Render Branch: fix SSS being a bit too dark compared to trunk.

Render Branch: svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r27366:27381

Render Branch: make approximate AO work with bump mapping.

Render Branch:
* add lamp option "indirect" to indicate if the lamp should be used
as part of indirect lighting
* add shadow buffer option to indicate if strands should be part of
the shadow buffer
* revert some dupli debugging code that wasn't supposed to be comitted

Render Branch:

* AO/env/indirect now optionally supports bump mapping.
* Irradiance cache code was extended to support storing spherical
harmonics, for more efficiently dealing with bump maps without
adding loads of samples. This does not work yet however, and so
the code is still disabled.
* Move ao/env/indirect computation inside the shading loop.

Render Branch: temporary hack option to allow material traceble to be ignored,
just for easier testing in durian because we currently have this option
disabled on all but a few materials.

Render Branch: implement area lamp form factor usage again like in old material
system, it works better. Though it also completely breaks the material/lamp
separation, and I'm not sure how this could work in a node system. Still, quick
area lamps with no noise seems to be useful..

Render Branch:
* Fix inaccurate shading position calculation in non-planar quad, the face
normal is not accurate in that case, so compute it again now. Not sure
yet what performance impact is of this, but would actually like to get
rid of normal entirely to save memory.
* Fix self-intersection problem with non-planar quads, the raytracer was
splitting quads in a different way than other parts of the render engine,
now it does the same.
