* Cleaning up the conversion code to avoid a per-face material conversion. Materials are now stored in buckets and only converted if a new material is found. This replaces some of Campbell's earlier work on the subject. His work wasn't as thorough, but it was much safer for a release.
* Shaders are only compiled for LibLoaded materials once. Before they could be compiled twice, which could really slow things down.
* Refactoring the rasterizer code to use a strategy design pattern to handle different geometry rendering methods such as immediate mode, vertex arrays and vertex buffer objects. VBOs are added, but they will be disabled in a following commit since they are still slower than vertex arrays with display lists. However, VBOs are still useful for mobile, so it's good to keep them around.
* Better multi-uv support. The BGE should now be able to handle more than two UV layers, which should help it better match the viewport.
reported as [#29376] BMESH_TODO: remove tessface CD_ORIGINDEX layer
for a single mesh there could be 3 origindex mappings stored, one on the polygons and 2 on the tessfaces.
(CD_POLYINDEX and CD_ORIGINDEX).
as Andrew suggests, now tessfaces (which are really a cache of polygons), using origindex to point to polygons on
the same derived mesh, and polygons only store the original index values.
viewport. This helps to eliminate OpenGL calls in weird places like the physics
code and to reduce glGet calls, which are expensive.
There should be no functional changes (except maybe a very slight speed improvement).
The GetWidth() and GetHeight() functions of the canvas' display area seem to give values that are both off by one for what OpenGL wants. Adding 1 to both values seems to fix the problem.
The glViewport used for 2D Filters wasn't quite matching the 3d view. It seems the height and width were both off by one. There may be a deeper bug with the canvas rectangle having slightly wrong dimensions, but this at least fixes the 2D Filters.
The 2D Filter system now only copies the game viewport instead of the whole window. This prevents 2D Filters from grabbing data outside of the game viewport. The textures for 2D filters are now also not forced to be powers of two (if NPOT textures are supported), which can save a little bit of VRAM.
