This add the possibility to add screen space raytraced shadows to fix light leaking cause by shadows maps.
Theses inherit of the same artifacts as other screenspace methods.
- Replace poisson by concentric samples: Less variance. They are sorted by radius then by angle.
- Separate filtering into 2 blur. First blur is 3x3 box blur. Second is user dependant.
- Group fetches by group of 4.
This brings some data structure changes.
Shared shadow data are stored in ShadowData (in glsl) (aka EEVEE_Shadow in C).
This structure contains the array indices of the first shadow element of this shadow "object".
It also contains how many shadow to evaluate (to be used for Multiple shadow maps).
The filtering is noisy and needs improvement.
- Use only one 2d texture array to store all shadowmaps.
- Allow to change shadow maps resolution.
- Do not output radial distance when rendering shadowmaps. This will allow fast rendering of shadowmaps when we will drop the use of geometry shaders.
Separate material handling inside another file.
Make use of enums to identify shader variations.
Group all 64*64 LUTs into one array texture.
Only update world probe if world changes.
This enables us to use 2D texture arrays for multiple probes.
There is a little artifact with very high roughness caused elongated pixel due to the projection (along every 90° meridian).
We render linear distance to the light in a R32 texture and store it into an octahedron projection inside a 2D texture array.
This render the sampling function much more simpler and without edge artifacts.
-Use 11_11_10 buffers for hdr content.
-Eevee compositing share 1 buffer if bloom and DOF are both activated.
-Fix slowdown when resizing EEVEE viewport.
-Removed DRW_BUF_*** enums causing confusion.
- use DRW_engine prefix for engine types.
- use engine suffix for files that define a draw engine.
- remove engines from include path (they're only referenced once)
For now only compute GGX convolution. The GGX LUT used for the split sum approximation (UE4) is merged with the LTX mag LUT that uses the same parameters (theta and roughness)
Same as MEM_SAFE_FREE macro,
checks for NULL, runs free then sets NULL.
Blocks of code that do this many times are noisy and likely
errors here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
Also NULL's static vars which were being left set.
Using Texture Arrays to store shadow maps so less texture slots are used when shading. This means a large amount of shadows can be supported.
Support Projection Shadow Map for sun like in old BI/BGE.
Support Cube Shadow Map for Point/Spot/Area lights. the benefit of using it for spot light is that the spot angle does not change shadow resolution (at the cost of more memory used). The implementation of the cubemap sampling is targeted for 3.3 core. We rely on 2D texture arrays to store cubemaps faces and sample the right one manualy. Significant performance improvement can be done using Cubemap Arrays on supported hardware.
Shadows are only hardware filtered. Prefiltered shadows and settings comming next.
Using Linear Transform Cosines to compute area lighting. This is far more accurate than other techniques but also slower.
We use rotating quad to mimic sphere area light. For a better approximation, we use a rotating octogon.
