This add a new set of (possible) render settings that can be defined at
the scene level and overridable at the scene layer level.
Once we get workspaces we can either add workspace inbetween scene and
scene layer evaluation. Or to replace layer settings, to avoid extra
confusion to users.
An example of this setting is "samples", as implemented now for the clay
engine.
Disabled by default. Set ENABLE_EFFECT_MOTION_BLUR to 1 to enable.
No fancy motion blur. Use depth and camera matrix to get the motion vectors. Then blur in this direction.
Only available in camera view.
Only Camera animation is supported, does not take into account the parents motion
We can now use object and other modes on top of Cycles.
Since we are now always on "render_to_view" (old Rendered mode), the
pause button is always visible.
- Unify GPUMaterial creation (world/mesh).
- Support for multiple shader variations (not used for now).
- Convert GPUInputs to DRWUniforms to be used with the draw manager.
- Nodetree Update is not supported. The only way to refresh the shaders is to change render engine.
- Cleanup in GPUPass.
- Add new temporary Node Compatibility type. Compatibility types should be removed in the future.
- use DRW_engine prefix for engine types.
- use engine suffix for files that define a draw engine.
- remove engines from include path (they're only referenced once)
- Use uniform color world for the world probe.
- Refactored the Fresnel expression to be better with Area Lights.
- Squared the roughness for default materials.
- Added New Batch cache routine to get the split mesh for each material. (optimization needed)
- Did some shader modifications to create default_frag and support a somwhat correct fresnel for lamps (to finish)
Was performing context access per object for scene, region etc.
While not very slow they don't change during drawing so cache in a struct.
This also makes it possible to draw in views besides the current context.
For now only compute GGX convolution. The GGX LUT used for the split sum approximation (UE4) is merged with the LTX mag LUT that uses the same parameters (theta and roughness)
Same as MEM_SAFE_FREE macro,
checks for NULL, runs free then sets NULL.
Blocks of code that do this many times are noisy and likely
errors here wouldn't be noticed immediately.
Also NULL's static vars which were being left set.
This removes MAX_STORAGE, MAX_BUFFERS, MAX_TEXTURES, MAX_PASSES limits.
Actual memory saving isn't so important, it just means we don't need to
manually bump these based on changes to engines.
Using Texture Arrays to store shadow maps so less texture slots are used when shading. This means a large amount of shadows can be supported.
Support Projection Shadow Map for sun like in old BI/BGE.
Support Cube Shadow Map for Point/Spot/Area lights. the benefit of using it for spot light is that the spot angle does not change shadow resolution (at the cost of more memory used). The implementation of the cubemap sampling is targeted for 3.3 core. We rely on 2D texture arrays to store cubemaps faces and sample the right one manualy. Significant performance improvement can be done using Cubemap Arrays on supported hardware.
Shadows are only hardware filtered. Prefiltered shadows and settings comming next.
