Re-add OSL support. #33

Open dracwyrm opened 7 years ago

dracwyrm commented 7 years ago

A PR was merged upstream that allows OSL to work with LLVM 3.9. They suspect that 3.7 and 3.8 will work as well, but are untested. Upstream tested the it with actual movie production frames and it produces valid results. I think we can now work with this.

1) We can work with 1.8.3 when released, though it is a dev release, so it might need to be masked and the OSL use flag masked for Blender. 2) Maybe that patch can be back ported to the stable 1.7.x releases. This would be more ideal. If it can, we could always put both in portage with 1.8.x under mask.

I hope this works.

Just added OSL to the new blender version 2.78b. Let's get this thing tested!
