This patch reduce the branching in the lamp loop, improving compilation time
noticeably (2372ms to 1785ms for the default shader).
This should not change the appearance of the shader.
Performance impact is negligeable.
This fixes the problem that matcaps have when using a very larg FOV in
perspective view.
This was because it was stupidly using the normal direction which can not
aligned with the view vector under perspective.
So to workaround this problem we don't use the normal as is, but compute
how much it's facing the camera.
This changes how matcaps looks in perspective because they now always use
the full range of the matcap (which is expected).
This make the limited wireframe not a performance problem anymore.
However, this does change the number of edges displayed as the threshold
is now computed per vertex instead of per edges.
For this reason we extended (internaly) the range of the slider so that the
users can hide more edge.
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.
Experiment: let the user be in control of the alpha channel as some rigs
are hard too see during bone selection. Especially rigs that were
designed for 2.79 wireframe mode.
A cavity shader based on SSAO. Works on all workbench deferred passes.
Per 3d viewport the cavity shader options can be set as different
shading needed different options. Some global options are in the
Viewport Display of the scene like num samples and distance.
Experimental: Naming of Ridges and Valleys
The ObjectID pass was generating per material per dupli a specific
number for the outline what results in a GPU context switch. In spring scene
01-050 a scene with many trees (duplis) generated 28000 GPU materials.
Now only new materials are created when objectid pass is enabled. Also
added a hard limit to the number of objects for the objectid pass (255)
Basically the outline between objects will not be drawn, but it will be
very hard to detect them also.
Also fixed for XRay mode.
Manipulators which aren't explicitly activated via tools are now hidden.
Tool manipulators are kept because it doesn't make sense to interact
with a tool with hidden manipulators.
- users can use their own matcaps
.config/blender/2.80/datafiles/studiolights/matcap/ folder
- upto 100 matcaps can be loaded
- color of the matcap is influenced by the color of the material/single
color etc. To show the plain matcap use single color at 1.0
- chosing a matcap is at lighting level (flat/studio/matcap)
- matcap only possible in solid mode
- also works for X-Ray mode
As the old matcaps are still in used by the clay engine I didn't remove
it yet.
Non-manifold geom was producing inverted result when the camera was inside
the shadow volume.
When rendering non manifold geometry with the depth fail method, we need to
emit the cap as if it was the same geometry with a virtual thickness.
Another way to view it is to imagine having a set of non-manifold geometry
all facing the light.
So for every tri we emit a front cap oriented toward the light and the
back cap pointing away from it (whatever the actual orientation of the tri).
Extrusion pass stay the same as the depth pass method (double the increment
if it's a manifold edge).
Now hairs are shaded properly in workbench and support texturing.
I also added a 10% random normal direction per hair to have a bit more
variation in the shading. This is hardcoded for now.
