Remove obsolete pixel filter methods #301

Closed Mango-3 closed 5 years ago

Mango-3 commented 5 years ago

Removes pixel filter which had been removed from appleseed-core when filter importance sampling was introduced.

The removed legacy filter are all mapped now to Blackman-Harris, the supported pixel filter mappings are unaffected. Removed pixel filter will show up in the UI marked legacy (see screenshot) Capture

So if I understand correctly, on an older scene that uses one of the removed filter, the filter combo will show the name of that removed filter (with a "legacy" tag) but under the hood it will use Blackman-Harris

Yes, this is the case. It keeps the order of the supported pixel filter intact when loading legacy scene files. The obsolete ones are all remapped to Blackman-Harris. The legacy tag should discourage people using them for new scenes.
