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.
engine: implements the capacity for tsstatic objects to allow themselves to use the reflector system in order to display runtime generated cubemaps.
script: defines a calibrated reflectordesc that reflects all object types within the space of approximately half stock veiwdistance
usage: cubeReflectorDesc = DefaultCubeDesc placed in a given object-insatnces entry that uses a material with a dynamiccubemap = true; flag.
immediate purpose: consistency of application of materials.
long term impact: tags steps required in order to associate a given runtime generated cubemap with an object-instance. in the future, this is likely to give way to an area-derived cubemap based on the accumulation volume tech developed by Andrew Mac, or a screenspace reflection.
Player can now swim properly, and the physical zone elevator is a bit
more helpful (i.e. it sends you to the landing rather than leaving you
floating in midair). Fiddled some more with PostFX settings.
