this is to highlight areas in the code that still directly do opengl calls or use
opengl types.
This is in preparation for supporting alternative rendering back-ends.

This shader is used instead of blitting back and forth to a single sample
buffer.
This means it resolves the color and depth samples and outputs a fragment
which can be depth tested and blended on top of an existing framebuffer.
We do static shader variation with manual loop unrolling for performance
reason. In my test I get 25% more perf with intel integrated gpu and 75%
performance gain with dedicated nvidia card compared to a single shader
with a uniform for sample count.
Dithering the output color for 8bit precision framebuffer with bayer matrix.
On my tests the bayer matrux patterns are not noticeable at all.
Note that it also does that in opengl rendered mode which can be in a much
higher bitdepth. We can fix that if that's a problem in the future but I
doubt it will.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
Folders removed entirely:
* //extern/recastnavigation
* //intern/decklink
* //intern/moto
* //source/blender/editors/space_logic
* //source/blenderplayer
* //source/gameengine
This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
Replace the 12 iterations of UI_draw_roundbox_4fv with only one batch.
This mean less overdraw and less drawcalls.
I had to hack the opacity falloff curve manually to get approximatly the
same result as previous technique. I'm sure with a bit more brain power
somebody could find the perfect function.
Special shader to draw nodelinks for the node editor.
We only pass bezier points to the GPU and vertex position is handled inside
the vertex shader.
The arrow is also part of the batch to avoid separate drawcalls for it.
We still draw 2 pass one for shadow and one for the link color on top.
One variation to draw instances of theses links so that we only do one
drawcall.
For this we use a new shader that gets it's data from a uniform array.
Vertex shader position the vertices using these data.
Using glUniform is way faster than using imm for that matter.
Like BLF rendering, UI icons are always (as far as I know) non occluded and
displayed above everything else. They also does not overlap with texts so
they can be batched at the same time.
I've made a separate version of the geom shader that works with full
3D modelviewmat.
This commit also includes some fixup inside blf_batching_start().
This means smaller imm buffer usage.
This does not reduce the number of drawcalls.
This uses geometry shader which is slow for the GPU but given we are really
CPU bound on this case, it should not matter.
A perfect implementation would:
- Set the glyph coord in a bufferTexture and just send the glyph ID to the
GPU to read the bufferTexture.
- Use GWN_draw_primitive and draw 2*strllen triangle and just retrieve the
glyph ID and color based on gl_VertexID / 6.
- Stream fixed size buffer that the Driver can discard quickly but this is
the same as improving IMM directly.
This module has no use now with the new DrawManager and DrawEngines and it
is using deprecated paths.
Moving gpu_shader_fullscreen_vert.glsl
to draw/modes/shaders/common_fullscreen_vert.glsl
This separate context allows two things:
- It allows viewports in multi-windows configuration.
- F12 render can use this context in a separate thread and do a non-blocking render.
The downside is that the context cannot be used while rendering so a request to refresh a viewport will lock the UI. This is something that will be adressed in the future.
Under the hood what does that mean:
- Not adding more mess with VAOs management in gawain.
- Doing depth only draw for operators / selection needs to be done in an offscreen buffer.
- The 3D cursor "autodis" operator is still reading the backbuffer so we need to copy the result to it.
- All FBOs needed by the drawmanager must to be created/destroyed with its context active.
- We cannot use batches created for UI in the DRW context and vice-versa. There is a clear separation of resources that enables the use of safe multi-threading.
Goal is to make them more modular, to allow more variants (variable
single-color, thickness, ...) to be added without having to
copy-and-change-one-line of whole chain of shaders.
Mainly adding 'wire' suffix to wire/distance drawing func and shader.
Also, match wire vertex shader behavior with solid one regarding
head/tail only drawing (i.e. alwas expect head bone mat, never tail one,
and assume that if a radius is negative, then we only draw on the other
end of the bone).
Envelope bones are now pretty much identical to old drawing code.
Note that currently new DwM drawing code does not seem to care about
wire/solid drawing modes at all, guess this is still TODO... For now we
hence just get both wire and solid for envelope bones, this can be
refined later.
This is not complete, it does not implement 3D solid drawing of
envelope bones. 2D wire is hence always drawn for now.
Some notes:
I did not try to implement the 'capsule' approach suggested by @fclem, because:
1. I spent enough time on this already, and finally got something working.
2. I managed to get rid of geometry shader completely.
3. Current approach allows us to use same shader for
distance outline and envelope wire.
It's working fine, except for one glitch - superpositions of envelope
outlines do not work as expected, not sure what's wrong here, tried to
disable zbuff, enable GL_BLEND, no luck so far...
I think we need our own 'background' drawpass to get them working (also
to avoid them drawing over the wire lines).
This implements weight rendering with the draw manager, with all drawing
options (Shading, wire, face masking, vertex masking).

Using geometry shader allows us to get rid of the 'line origin' extra
vertex attribute, which means dashed shader no longer requires fiddling
with those vertex attributes definition, and, most importantly, does not
require anymore special drawing code!
As you can see, this makes code much simpler, and much less verbose,
especially in complex cases.
In addition, changed how dashes are handled, to have two 'modes', a
simple one with single color (using default "color" uniform name), and a
more advanced one allowing more complex and multi-color patterns.
Note that since GLSL 1.2 does not support geometry shaders, a hack was
added for now (which gives solid lines, but at least does not make
Blender crash).
The fragment shader expects a normal, but the vertex shader was not providing one.
Fix: added a new vertex shader that has normals + smooth color interpolation.
I also split gpu_shader_3D_vert in two:
- one with just position
- one with position + normal
For each of the builtin shaders, we should be able to look at the GLSL and tell exactly what it's doing. Using #defines and #ifdefs for rendering options makes the shaders hard to read and easy to break.
This introduces a new CMake option - WITH_LEGACY_OPENGL. Without this option
things may not draw perfectly, however, we should soon be able to build with
OpenGL core profile.
The matrix-related api calls are (still) not handled here (glTranslate, ...).
There seems to be no consensus on whether to make this build option the
default. We can talk about this later. For now two things are the
priority:
(1) To get rid of deprecated calls when WITH_LEGACY_OPENGL is ON
(2) To make core profile work for Mesa/Mac when WITH_LEGACY_OPENGL is OFF

Many thanks for Sergey Sharybin for the help.
Added new shader for clipping, also cleaned up rotation manipulator
drawing code a bit.
This code should be replaced by new transform manipulators soon, just
keeping this working in the meanwhile.
Before now it lived in source/blender/gpu for convenience. Only a few files in the gpu module use Gawain directly.
Tested on Mac, time to push and test on Windows.
Todo: some CMake magic to make it easy to
#include "gawain/some_header.h"
from any C or H file. Main problem here is the many editors that include GPU_immediate.h which includes Gawain's immediate.h -- is there a way to avoid changing every editor's CMakeLists?
