This makes is easy to create nested drawcalls that will inherit all the
parents properties. This is usefull if only a few uniforms changes for that
drawcall.
Flat shaded grids are now rendered as a long triangle strip with
degenerate triangles.
Smooth shaded grids are not changed.
Also add back fast navigate. The only difference with 2.79 is that fast
navigate + flat shading will show slitly "incorrect" smooth face. But that's too
much effort to fix for what it is.
* Remove support for diffuse color in the pbvh buffers.
* Upload raw data to GPU.
* Only draw nodes that have mask data when drawing the overlay.
This should fix T56466
A lot of code in codegen was used by previous GLSL system.
Now most of it is not used due to all the things being written from scratch
in 2.8 and we can clean most of it.
As a side not this make the system a bit less flexible (no support for
cubemaps, preview image, etc...) but can be extended again.
This lower the use of texture samplers slots and let users use more real
textures in their shaders.
This patch also make the ramp texture 16 bit floating point. Meaning you
can now use value greater than one in your color ramps.
With the limit of 128 colorband per shader (a color band being either a
color ramp, a wavelength node or a curve node (and maybe wavelength node in
the future)).
Only drawback with the current implementation is that it does not remove
colorband from pruned GPUNodes but it shouldn't really matter in practice.
This should fix T56010
This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
This commit restores support for Motion Path drawing in 2.8 (as it wasn't ported over
to the new draw engines earlier, and the existing space_view3d/drawanimviz.c code was
removed during the Blender Internal removal).
Notes:
* Motion Paths are now implemented as an overlay (enabled by default).
Therefore, you can turn all of them on/off from the "Overlays" popover
* By and large, we have kept the same draw style as was used in 2.7
Further changes can happen later following further design work.
* One change from 2.7 is that thicker lines are used by default (2px vs 1px)
Todo's:
* There are some bad-level calls introduced here (i.e. the actgroup_to_keylist() stuff).
These were introduced to optimise drawing performance (by avoiding full keyframes -> keylist
conversion step on each drawcall). Instead, this has been moved to the calculation step
(in blenkernel). Soon, there will be some cleanups/improvements with those functions,
so until then, we'll keep the bad level calls.

This new system use transform feedback to compute subdivided hair points
position. For now no smoothing is done between input points.
This new system decouple the strands data (uv, mcol) with the points
position, requiring less update work if only simulation is running.
In the future, we can have compute shader do the work of the feedback
transform pass since it's really what it's meant to. Also we could generate
the child particles during this pass, releasing some CPU time.
draw_hair.c has been created to handle all of the Shading group creations
as well as subdivision shaders.
We store one final batch per settings combination because multiple viewport
or render could use the same particle system with a different subdivision
count or hair shape type.
This mimics the behaviour of DRW_shgroup_empty_tri_batch_create and will
replace it eventually.
The advantage is that it's compatible with transform feedback.
This is a usefull feature that can be used to do a lot of precomputation on
the GPU instead of the CPU.
Implementation is simple and only covers the most usefull case.
How to use:
- Create shader with transform feedback.
- Create a pass with DRW_STATE_TRANS_FEEDBACK.
- Create a target Gwn_VertBuf (make sure it's big enough).
- Create a shading group with DRW_shgroup_transform_feedback_create().
- Add your draw calls to the shading group.
- Render your pass normaly.
Current limitation:
- Only one output buffer.
- Cannot pause/resume tfb rendering to interleave with normal drawcalls.
- Cannot get the number of verts drawn.
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.
The problem was that textures were assigned to different slots on different draw
calls, which caused shader specialization/patching by the driver. So the shader
would be compiled over and over until all possible assignments were used.
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 is mostly to avoid re-compilation when using undo/redo operators.
This also has the benefit to reuse the same GPUShader for multiple materials using the same nodetree configuration.
The cache stores GPUPasses that already contains the shader code and a hash to test for matches.
We use refcounts to know when a GPUPass is not used anymore.
I had to move the GPUInput list from GPUPass to GPUMaterial because it's containing references to the material nodetree and cannot be reused.
A garbage collection is hardcoded to run every 60 seconds to free every unused GPUPass.
