This pull request proposes new integrator that implements the paper "Reparameterizing Discontinuous Integrands for Differentiable Rendering".

TODOs:

  • Support for envmap
  • Support for multiple emitters
  • Always use convolution with adaptive kernel angular support
  • Add existing tests to test suite
  • Remove path-reparam-old integrator (used for comparison)
  • Reduce calls to gather and scatter when doubling path for control variate.
  • Write documentation
  • Write tutorials

Closes #26.

From the todos it seems like only documentation is missing? Is it from the API any different and would basically fix #26 ?

@mmgutsche We are still working on some implementation details, especially the way this new integrator deals with envmap.
On top of that, this PR won't be merge before we merge #88 . Rebasing from this will be quite some work as well.

Feel free to give it a try, you can have a look at the test script that comes with this PR for some examples.

I came here from a problem with #26, and I'd like to try the test script, what directory is it in?
Thank you.

https://github.com/loubetg/mitsuba2-reparam-tests repo has some examples. I get Nan sometimes when running these scripts.

Work on this will continue in a seperate PR: #157

The reason for this is to ensure compatibility with the pathreparam tests suite.

The new PR was rebased onto master and now uses OptiX 7.
