- Supports GL, D3D9 & D3D11
- Extends vertex formats & shadergen to support blend indices and weights
- Adds basic support for using 4x3 matrices for shader constants
- Supports software fallback
renderPrePassMgr.cpp related:
A) shifting .addFeature( MFT_XYZ); calls from ProcessedShaderMaterial::_determineFeatures to ProcessedPrePassMaterial::_determineFeatures
B) mimicking the "// set the XXX if different" entries from RenderMeshMgr::render in RenderPrePassMgr::render
C) fleshing out ProcessedPrePassMaterial::getNumStages() so that it shares a 1:1 correlation with ProcessedShaderMaterial::getNumStages()
D) causing inline void Swizzle<T, mapLength>::ToBuffer( void *destination, const void *source, const dsize_t size ) to silently fail rather than fatally assert if a source or destination buffer is not yet ready to be filled. (support for #customTarget scripted render targets)
Reflections:
A) removing reflectRenderState.disableAdvancedLightingBins(true); entries. this would otherwise early out from prepass and provide no color data whatsoever.
B) removing the fd.features.addFeature( MFT_ForwardShading ); entry forcing all materials to be forward lit when reflected.
C) 2 things best described bluntly as working hacks:
C1) when reflected, a scattersky is rotated PI along it's z then x axis in order to draw properly.
C2) along similar lines, in terraincellmaterial, we shut off culling if it's a prepass material.
Skies: scattersky is given a pair of rotations for reflection purposes, all sky objects are given a z value for depth testing.
The GFX (DirectX) pipeline did not respect the choice of adapter and
always went for the default one. Normally this isn't an issue unless
you wish to target a particular adapter and display device combination.
This has been corrected.
The GFX initialize functions now attempt to find the best adapter that
matches a given display device (i.e. monitor) if one has been passed in.
To aid with choosing a display device some new monitor enumeration
methods have been added to the platform window manager. These methods
have been exposed to the Canvas.
