Using Linear Transform Cosines to compute area lighting. This is far more accurate than other techniques but also slower.
We use rotating quad to mimic sphere area light. For a better approximation, we use a rotating octogon.
First this replace a custom data struct with IDProperty, and use
IDProperty group merge and copying functions. Which means that a collection
property setting is only created if necessary.
This implements the "Layer Collection settings" override system, as
suggested in the "Override Manifesto" document.
The core is working, with Scene, LayerCollection and Object using a
single IDProperty to store all the render settings data. Next step is to
migrate this to depsgraph.
Note: Clay engine "ssao_samples" was hardcoded to 32 for now. It will come
back as part of "Workspace Settings" later.
Many thanks for Bastien Montagne for the help with the UI template
nightmare ;)
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D2563
It also adds nice occluded silouhette information for selected objects that are behind visible objects.
This methods is really heavy because it needs to render the wires twices.
All engines are now called by the draw manager. Engines are separate entities that cannot interfer with each others.
Also separated draw_mode_pass.c into the mode engines.
Basically DEG_OBJECT_ITER (or rather,
BKE_scene_layer_engine_settings_update) wasn't creating
Object->collection_settings data for invisible objects.
Now I'm removing those objects from the loop entirely. If we are to
bring them back we need to either create CollectionEngineSettings dat
from them or to skip them in DRW_mode_cache_populate.
Note: we are now merging all the collection engines (mode and render), which eventually may get slow. But as stated before, this is to expose the functionality, while waiting for proper depsgraph integrated solution.
Every time:
* A collection settings is set
* A collection visibility changes
* An object is added/removed/ ...
We need to recalculate the "accumulated" CollectionEngineSettings that
the render engine should use for an object.
This is to be handled by the depsgraph. Meanwhile this code should allow
us to start using those settings in the render engines.
Note: We are storing this in the objects, which means we can only have
one active calculated option every time.
This is intended to get the conversation with the Depsgraph department
going.
Initial work by Clément Foucault with contributions from Dalai Felinto
(mainly per-collection engine settings logic, and depsgraph iterator placeholder).
This makes Blender require OpenGL 3.3. Which means Intel graphic card
and OSX will break. Disable CLAY_ENGINE in CMake in those cases.
This is a prototype render engine intended to help the design of real
render engines. This is mainly an engine with enphasis in matcap and
ambient occlusion.
Implemented Features
--------------------
* Clay Render Engine, following the new API, to be used as reference for
future engines
* A more complete Matcap customization with more options
* Per-Collection render engine settings
* New Ground Truth AO - not enabled
Missing Features
----------------
* Finish object edit mode
- Fix shaders to use new matrix
- Fix artifacts when edge does off screen
- Fix depth issue
- Selection sillhouette
- Mesh wires
- Use mesh normals (for higher quality matcap)
- Non-Mesh objects drawing
- Widget drawing
- Performance issues
* Finish mesh edit mode
- Derived-Mesh-less edit mode API (mesh_rende.c)
* General edit mode
- Per-collection edit mode settings
* General engines
- Per-collection engine settings
(they are their, but they still need to be flushed by depsgraph, and
used by the drawing code)
