Raytrace optimization

This SoC will work on improving the speed and usability of the raytrace data structures inside blender.

Introduction

This proposal aims at optimizing blender raytrace.

Including:

• Making it faster
• Support for render instancing
• Added support for generic objects (LOD can then be implemented)
• Script to measure performance
• Removing worst-cases
• Make it easier to try tweaks and different data structures.

SoC Plan

It's mainly divided in the following parts

1. prepare API for instances supports and others + sample implemenntations of data structures
2. prepare test data for performance. I will need artist feedback on this to give me scenes (i will ask on blender artist, irc and ML)
3. optimization

Progress

• Weekly Reports
• Blender Test Script
• Test Scenes
• Optimization Notes
