Because:
- Less redundancy.
- Better suffixes.
Also a few modification to GPU_texture_create_* to simplify the API:
- make the format explicit to the texture creation process.
- remove the component count as it's specified in the GPUTextureFormat.
This add a callback function that runs after frustum culling test.
This callback returns the final visibility for this object.
Be aware that it's called for EVERY drawcalls that use this callback even
if their visibility has been cached.
This uniforms can be used to have a unique id for each drawcall of a shgrp.
This only works for standard shgroups and is an exception for the outline
drawing.
Previous approach was not clear enough and caused problems.
UBOs were taking slots and not release them after a shading group even
if this UBO was only for this Shading Group (notably the nodetree ubo,
since we now share the same GPUShader for identical trees).
So I choose to have a better defined approach:
- Standard texture and ubo calls are assured to be valid for the shgrp
they are called from.
- (new) Persistent texture and ubo calls are assured to be valid accross
shgrps unless the shader changes.
The standards calls are still valids for the next shgrp but are not assured
to be so if this new shgrp binds a new texture.
This enables some optimisations by not adding redundant texture and ubo
binds.
This leads to less lookups to the GWNShaderInterface and less uniform upload.
We still keep a legacy path so that Builtin uniforms can still work. We might restrict this path to Builtin shader only in the future.
Also get rid of the static var and initialization.
This enables the user to see the progress on the info header.
Closing blender or reading a file also kill the job which is good.
Unfortunatly, this job cannot be interrupt by users directly. We could make it interruptible but we need a way to resume the compilation.
Instead of creating a new instancing shading group without attrib, we now have instancing calls. The benefits is that they can be culled.
They can be used in conjuction with the standard and generate calls but shader must support it (which is generally not the case).
We store a pointer to the actual count so that the number can be tweaked between redraw.
This will makes multi layer rendering more efficient.
Selection code relies on being able to set the depth functions
however passes have their own depth settings.
Add DRW_state_lock to ignore passes settings for particular flags.
This fixes occlusion queries cycling through objects under the cursor.
This is very efficient and add a pretty low overhead (0.1ms of drawing time for 10K objects passing through all tests, on my i3-4100M).
The like the rest of the DRWCallState, test is "cached" until the view matrices changes.
Refactor include:
- Removal of DRWInterface. (was useless)
- Split DRWCallHeader into a new struct DRWCallState that will be reused in the future.
- Use BLI_link_utils for APPEND/PREPEND.
- Creation of the new DRWManager struct type. This will enable us to create more than one manager in the future.
- Removal of some dead code.
