textures were not always drawn as the material did not always include
the image in the hash. Not sure if this will solve all cases, but it
definitely works better with this change.
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.
- FXAA is now also done in the workbench_forward engine.
- User can enable TAA8 in the userpref by setting their max
viewport AA to TAA8. FXAA will still be used when navigating
This method is a bit more optimized than the very first one
because it does not rely on the adjacent faces properties.
That said it's still a bit slower than the per vertex method.
There was a Full Shading bool that was shared across the WP, VP and TP
modes. This commit makes some changes:
- Replace the bool with a factor. This gives the user more control on
the visibility.
- Also draw it on top of the Material and Rendered mode so the user can
control what he needs. In certain cases you don't want to see the final
rendered material, but the actual texture.
- Removed the skipping of objects when in paint modes. As now the paint
modes are blended.
When in forward rendering and Object outline was disabled every render
call created one console warning (uniform objectId not found)
this commit removes this warning
the use of the texture drawtype is limited. so who should we have it
this prominent on the screen. By adding it as a shading.color_type
option we should save some screenspace.
The calculation of the irradiance buffer was slow. Now it is only
calculated when it is being used (background_alpha > 0.0)
this solves the freeze when switching to LookDev mode.
Also changed the default calculation to use the Spherical Harmonics
calculation. This is able to generate the irradiance buffer fast, but is
less accurate. As the irradiance buffer is only used for visual
guidance speed is more important than accuracy.
Added compile directive to switch between the implementations.
(see STUDIOLIGHT_IRRADIANCE_METHOD)
Disabled caching the irradiance buffer when
STUDIOLIGHT_IRRADIANCE_METHOD_SPHERICAL_HARMONICS is used as it is not
needed.
The idea is to only use pointers to particles in original object when
creating an edit structure. The derived mesh we get from evaluated
object.
The rest of the commit is just keeping pointers in sync.
By default users want AA in the viewport. For slower systems you want to
be able to turn it off. As in the future we would also like to support
TAA in the viewport we introduced it as a Max Viewport AA settings.
Also removed the drawoption to enable/disable AA per viewport
When rendering the AA is always turned on.
This mimics the behaviour of the old wireframe mode. When in Xray mode,
don't use the limit selection to visible option.
Also hide the option if Xray is enabled.
This rewinds a change from own commit e3d88b021c
The only took edge overlay into account (crease, seam.. etc)
Currently active-face also uses this width.
While the difference is subtle,
this makes the active-face stand out more clearly.
Remove all the clip cases and just pass the vertices screen position to the
fragment shader.
This does put a bit more pressure on the fragment shader but it seems to be
faster than before. And it simplify the code a lot.
It seems to fix some long standing issue on some intel GPU.
- Vertex size now matches the theme setting.
- Edge width is closer to a single pixel line.
- Face dot was scaled up to be drawn as a circle,
but is currently a square.
Old implementation rendered alpha to 0.0 for background, but only during
deferred rendering. We should attach this to an DNA setting and also let
the forward shading respect this. But for now this is a better default
FXAA implementation in the deferred renderpass of the workbench.
Can be enabled per 3dview. Eventually this will also be a user setting
as it is more a system/performance setting than a scene setting.
