Textures are now hooked up to the RESET operation of particle
settings, which ensures particles being re-distributed when
texture is changed.
This is limited to a direct user modifications, which matches
old behavior in 2.79.
Right now does not add padding at the end of the buffer.
This seems not necessary but may cause problem on some platform. If needed
we will add this padding (only 2 more vertices).
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.
Instead of doing a lot of alpha blended drawing with jittering, use the
fragment shader to do the masking using a circle mask.
This is much simpler and requires much less resources.
Hopefully this may solve the issue we have with the Intels UHD Graphics 620
on linux.
That was caused by a thread safety issue on gpu_batch_presets_unregister()
which was not designed to be used for this kind of situation (managing 3D
meshes batches).
This makes it possible to tweak indirect lighting in the shader.
Only a subset of the outputs is supported and the ray depth has not exactly
the same meaning:
Is Camera : Supported.
Is Shadow : Supported.
Is Diffuse : Supported.
Is Glossy : Supported.
Is Singular : Not supported. Same as Is Glossy.
Is Reflection : Not supported. Same as Is Glossy.
Is Transmission : Not supported. Same as Is Glossy.
Ray Length : Not supported. Defaults to 1.0.
Ray Depth : Indicate the current bounce when baking the light cache.
Diffuse Depth : Same as Ray Depth but only when baking diffuse light.
Glossy Depth : Same as Ray Depth but only when baking specular light.
Transparent Depth : Not supported. Defaults to 0.
Transmission Depth : Not supported. Same as Glossy Depth.
Caveat: Is Glossy does not work with Screen Space Reflections but does work
with reflection planes (when used with SSR or not).
We have to render the world twice for that to work.
This does not work with the box projection mode. Implementing for box
projection mode would be difficult, slow, and produce a lot of code
duplication. Also i'm not sure this is worth it, as it's not a common use
case.
Although the normal was normalized when evaluating the lighting, the normal
is often used for other purpose. In this case using the non normalized
normal maybe the source of errors.
This is a nasty bug. Because the node does not get properlly tagged as SSS
(sss_id is 0) but is still evaluated (so tagging the GPUMaterial as having
SSS). The sssProfile UBO is still declared and we need to bind something
to it.
On some platform does not support line width > 1.0 and can even throw and
error. Better check an at least display something rather than no lines at
all.
Node group inputs should behave like cycles now.
----
We create dummy nodes that contains the default values for the nodegroup
inputs and link them to the sockets. This way the uniform buffer gathering
function can read them.
But we also need to disconnect all the internal links to sockets that have
hidden values. Theses sockets must not get the values from the nodegroup
input sockets if there is no link to them otherwise we get broken results
(i.e.: normals for a bsdf node).
