This introduce the wireframe batches. Creating the indices buffer does
not seems to slow down the sculpt in my testing (but it is kind of hard to
test reliably)
This includes a bit of cleanup in gpu_buffers.c.
By default wire would z-fight against the surface.
Increase the bias, also don't adjust the 'w' component
since it causes bias that depends on the view direction.
Tested on an `AMD Radeon HD 7570M`.
It seems that a VBO containing only `unsigned bytes` or `unsigned shorts` can't be read correctly in a shader.
Strange that if the index buffer repeats the drawing of the vertices (as was done before rBa04dd15193e6) the problem disappears.
The disadvantage of this solution is that the memory size for a selection VBO increases by about 4 times.
But the loss in optimization is negligible.
Thanks to @fclem for pointing out the possible source of the problem and reviewing the fix.
This avoid edges covering a part of vertices.
This comes at a (very minor) perf cost as vertices can cover some edges
pixels and early discard them with the depth test. But this only happens
in artificialy dense mesh and is not a real problem for common cases.
This make sure only one line is drawn per edge.
It makes the function mesh_create_edit_loops_points_lines() non-thread safe
but this is fine as of now because nothing is multithreaded at this point.
Also this is the only function use this flag so it might be OK.
The side effect is that we don't need to use depth test in edit mode
overlay so the masking artifact will not appear.
This make it (theoriticaly) compatible with all supported hardware with
consistent results.
Also we now draw the lines with analytic anti-aliasing instead of relying
on MSAA (which offers less benefits in our case).
The remaining aliasing comes from edges cut in half by the mesh which is
not rendered with MSAA. Hopefully this is not too much distracting and only
happen if the face is almost parallel to the view.
Needed to fix T61196, supporting clipped back-buffer in the 3D view
which is done outside the draw module.
It was also inconvenient having DRW_shader_* versions of GPU_shader_*
API calls.
- Clipping distances are now supported as a shader configuration
for builtin shaders.
- Add shader config argument when accessing builtin shaders.
- Move GPU_shader_create_from_arrays() from DRW to GPU.
This was deliberately disabled since I didn't get the drawing working
originally. It is fully working now.
Note: camera lens widget still needs to be fixed since it still draws it
wrongly.
This adds a new geometry shader (specific to edit mesh for now) that
reproduces the effect of glLineWidth > 1.0, since this is not supported on
all platform.
This fix could be generalized to other shaders later.
