This removes code duplication and put an end to the old "create at request"
batch creation.
Also it uses the same vbo as the uv layer used for shading. Reducing VRAM
usage.
Also fixes the modified uv display in uv edit mode.
This is in order to allow more spaces to have their batches created at the
same time and sharing the batches.
This is part of the effort fo making the drawing code more optimized. This
commit however should not introduce any difference.
This commit bypass the aspect ratio correction for angle stretch display
but this should be fixed in the next commit.
This makes it more future proof and remove baked id offset inside the vbos.
Instead we add the offset as a uniform. This makes it possible to reuse
the vbos instead of discarding them all the time.
Also using batch request may reduce batches creation time.
This now only upload data per loops to the GPU, making use of index buffer
to draw polygon. This make use of the vertex cache, speed up renders
and saves a lot of vram.
Update performance is also slightly faster and can even be improved further
by updating only uvs or vcol independently.
This commits breaks texture paint batches. It will be added back in another
commit.
Shaded triangles are not yet implemented (request from gpumaterials).
This also changes the mechanism to draw curve normals to make it not
dependant on normal size display. This way different viewport can
reuse the same batch.
This makes it possible for engines to ask for batches and only fill their
data after all engine populate functions have run.
This means that, when creating the batches data we already know all the
batches that are needed for this redraw and the needed data.
This allows for less redundant data preparation and better attrib masking.
Ideally, we should run all viewports populate function before executing
the batch construction but this is not the scope of this patch.
Conversion from the old request method will be progressive and both can
coexist (see uses of mesh_create_pos_and_nor()).
The issue was caused mpoly array urequired by the cache filling,
but the pointer was never set when preparing render data.
Seems this change is safe enough, in terms it shouldn't be
causing slowdown, since the assignment of mpoly is cheap, but
hard to tell if there is anything else affected by thing underneath.
The shader is way simpler and run way faster on lower end hardware
(2x faster on intel HD5000) but did not notice any improvement on AMD Vega.
This also adds a few changes to the way the wireframes are drawn:
- the slider is more linearly progressive.
- optimize display shows all wires and progressively decrease "inner" wires
intensity. This is subject to change in the future.
- text/surface/metaballs support is pretty rough. More work needs to be done.
This remove the optimization introduced in f1975a4639.
This also removes the GPU side "sharpness" calculation which means that
animated meshes with wireframe display will update slower.
The CPU sharpness calculation has still room for optimization. Also
it is not excluded that GPU calculation can be added back as a
separate preprocessing pass (saving the computation result [compute or
feedback]).
The goal here was to have more speed for static objects and remove
the dependency of having buffer textures with triangle count. This is
preparation work for multithreading the whole DRW manager.
