We separate the background and foreground shading passes to be able to make
the object id pass optionnal if we don't need it.
This saves a bit more memory. Also not clearing all rendertargets saves
some GPU time too.
We exploit the fact that we are using the metallic workflow for material
and pass the metallic parameter instead of the specular color.
Pack the front facing bit in the color buffer only for matcap display.
Change buffer formats to use less bytes as possible.
Also don't request buffers that we won't use.
Saved 40MB on 2K screen on StudioLight + Shadows + Specular Lighting.
Includes several cleanups.
Shadow focus let the user choose how hard are is the shadows transition.
Harder shadow transition can be used for stylistic effects or more uniform
shading.
Make shadow orientation respect the same orientation as the studio light
(view from +Y direction aka. front view). Make the default shadow direction
more similar to the default light position (the default light object, not
the default studio lighting).
* Move the curvature computation to the cavity pass: One can argue it's not
the best performance wise (it gets a tiny perf pernalty if it is done
alone without the ssao), but it make the code cleaner and reduce
considerably the number of shader variation possible.
* Lower shader variation to 2^8 instead of 2^12
This is in order to have more flexible ligthing presets in the future.
The diffuse lighting from hdris was nice but lacked the corresponding
specular information. This is an attempt to make it possible to customize
the lighting and have a cheap/easy/nice-looking pseudo-PBR workflow.
* Add cheap PBR to Workbench with fresnel and better roughness support.
This improves the look of the metallic surfaces and is easier to control.
* Add ambient light to studio lights settings: just a constant color added
to the shading.
* Add Smooth option to studio lights settings: This option fakes the
effect of making the light bigger making the lighting smoother for this
light. Smoother lights gets reflected like a background hdri.
* Change default light settings to include the smooth params.
* Remove specular highlights from flat shading. (could be added back but
how do we make it good looking?)
* If specular lighting is disabled, use base color without using metallic.
* Include a lot of code simplification/cleanup/confusion fix.
The approach is fairly simple, just apply an edge detection filter to the view normal and scale the brightness based on that.
The overlay is disabled at object boundaries to avoid dark lines around objects.
Generally, this implementation follows the proposal of @monio at https://blender.community/c/rightclickselect/J9bbbc.
The changes are:
- Dynamic filter radius (on high-DPI displays, a radius of two is used)
- Options to reduce the strength of both ridges and valleys
- Tweaked function for the strength reduction (the original method actually had a local maximum, resulting in a brighter line inside valleys)
- Multiplication for blending instead of overlay, which doesn't work reliably with scene-referred intensities
- Renamed to point out the distinction between it and the SSAO-based cavity overlay

* Less Lengthy enum/macro names.
* Optimize computation of Spherical Harmonics.
* Reduce radiance cubemap size a bit. Higher resolution is not necessary.
* Remove STUDIOLIGHT_LIGHT_DIRECTION_CALCULATED (was not used).
* Do windowing on each component separately instead of using luminance.
* Use ITER_PIXELS to iterate on each pixels, using pixel center coords.
* Remove gpu_matcap_3components as it is only needed when creating the gputex.
* Fix a lot of confusion in axis denomination/swizzle.
These changes should not affect functionallity.
This makes previewing thick smoke a bit more plausible with better shadows.
The shadowing is clamped so that nothing is completely black. That said the
lower bound is pretty low.
This is not an option but could become one if users do not like it in
all situations.
The appearance is a bit different than 2.79 where the flame was just added
on top of the smoke without correct blending.
Now it's much more realistic and using volumetric integration. You can see
the smoke actually masking the flame.
The other difference is that the flame color was not using proper color
managed blending. Now with the use of filmic it shows bright yellow.
This could be adjusted and displayed as a user parameter in the future.
Includes the following fixes
- Fix smoke texture creation: data was interpreted as Byte instead of Floats.
- Fix Velocity texture not being free after draw: also was causing crashes.
- Fix display_thickness not being copied during COW.
- Fix Blending and general volume rendering algorithm.
- Add Volume Shadowing support.
Usage of matcap image uniform had different ifdef than definition
of that uniform. Assuming the usage was correct, and the definition
needed an update.
Prevents shader from compilation failure and from aborts in debug
builds.
This does not fix the smokesim. It only port the drawing method.
The Object mode engine is in charge of rendering the velocity debugging.
Things left to do:
- Flame rendering.
- Color Ramp coloring of volume data.
- View facing slicing (for now it's only doing sampling starting from the
volume bounds which gives a squarish look)
- Add option to enable dithering (currently on by default.
Added a compile directive in order to test SH4 in stead of SH2Win.
For now I disabled SH4, it is a bit more clear, but has a small
performance impact. Will check later for a better approach
First frame of the TAA is just a regular copy of the previous buffer. so
we write directly to the final buffer and skip the taa shader. We do
init the history buffer via blit so it will be initialized for the other
iterations.
Most of the times the materials differ due to the object_id. This was an
overhead and resulted in instabilities on Intel graphical cards. This
commit will revert the Material Data UBO and replace it with normal
uniform.
Per iteration a different AO samples are used, so the final result is
less distorted. Will improve the quality of the image a lot when the
cavity option is turned on.
Currently only attached to the Anti Aliasing of the solid mode of the
viewport. But eventually we could add other options here. Quality
setting can be found in the System tab of the userpref.
The slider goes from No Antialiasing (0.0 - 0.1) to FXAA (0.1 - 0.25) to
TAA8 (0.25 - 0.6) to TAA16 (0.6 - 0.8) to TAA32 (0.8 - 1.0)
Seems to be that mix(a, b, 1.0) will not give you b. on nvidia this is
not a problem as a was initialized with 0.0, but on AMD it can be any
floating point number, resulting that mix(inf, b, 1.0) was still more to
inf than to b.
