review of per and post bake protocols showed that the CAPTURING shader macro was not being properly recompiled in. as opengl was not playing nice with a simple batch shader recompilation for all effected shaders, a full lightmanager restart is at time of writing required. once we have a proper globally cached scene structure stored off GPU side, we'll want to change GFXShader::addGlobalMacro("CAPTURING", String("1")); on over to dirtying that value in the cached buffer via setting a shader global uniform
review of prefilter examples shows a fixed sample count of 1024 across multiple implementations, so we'll use the standard barring further research into where that number is comming from for a scalar approach
review of gl shaders shows a doubleup in compiled state testing, so slimmed that down and added additional debugging reports
-Adds reversed depth projection model, dramatically increasing depth buffer effective resolution.
-Adds 32F depth 8U stencil format GFXFormatD32FS8X24 (following DX naming conventions). Note this is a 64-bit format, and likely not suitable for mobile platforms. Revert to GFXFormatD24S8 in renderManager.tscript for mobile & "ancient" platforms.
-Corrects alignment of texture type details array.
cliffsnotes:
$Core::WetnessTexture = "core/rendering/images/wetMap.png"; //for the influence degree map
probes/skylight have a new canDamp boolean, set to off for probes, on for skylight by default.
:levelinfo has a dampness multiplier (0-1)
kicked up numTextures from 8 to 16 for shaderdata and postfx since that hit the 8 texture-in prior limit, and we've already adopted apis that can handle the higher count
also supress warning for imageassets not loading a texture in nulldevice, and early out of _determineFeatures shadergen methods under the same conditions
refactored detection of texture sizes for cubemaps
removed the assumption that if we give U32 GFXTextureManager::getTextureDownscalePower( GFXTextureProfile *profile ) no profile, it should go right ahead and downscale anyway
sniped the downscaling strings in the resulting U32 getProbeTexSize(); and void setCubeTexSize(const U32 cubemapFaceSize); until sucj time as we can properly follow up all possible combinations of shiping in one scale, and a customer choosing to use lower resolution textures as the current result is a hard shutoff entirely
fix high-metalness object capture (had the lerp the wrong direction for canceling out NULL-ibl due to full metallic)
use dStrcmp for (Con::getVariable("$Probes::Capturing", "0") comparisons. and early out on rendering probes when we are capturing, not when we aren't.
Added getGUIPath console function to guiAsset
Corrected console function documentation for getScriptPath in MaterialAsset
Added getter console functions to PostEffectAsset
Added getAnimationPath console function to PostEffectAsset
Fixes handling of mapto with the reskin usage when generating preview renders for ShapeAssets
Standardizes getShapeFile to getShapePath on ShapeAsset to better match formatting of other getters on assets
Adds sanity checking for getStringWidth to prevent crash if there's an issue with the font being ready at time of request(from Az)
Earlies out on rendering of impostors if it's the deferred bin to prevent unneeded duplicate rendering messing up results(from Az)
Fixed duplicate naming of quality levels on LightingQualityList
Added check so if _makePrettyResString is handed a 'human formatted' resolution string(as in, has <width> x <height> it can handle that properly
Shifted yes/no and on/off option lists to globals for ease and consistency of handling on options menu
Improves check for unapplied graphics options on options menu and applies them all at once
Add sanitizing of variable names so getVariable doesn't have issues when looking up array variables in optionsMenu logic
Adds better tracking of what options menu category is shown so refreshes don't reset it
Add better handling for changing resolution in options menu and getting it to apply properly
Adds better utility functions for setting bools vs optionsLists vs quality lists and updates options fields to use the most appropriate
Removes redundant setting of $pref::SFX::channelVolume vars in defaults.tscript
Removed unneeded extra logging from asset browser drag-n-drop actions
Adds item to RMB context menu in AB to regenerate preview images
Fixes move command for asset types(needed to properly reference the full path of the associated files) and added it for shapes, animations and terrains
Added logic so when the dropdown for selecting a target module on the Create New Asset window is changed, it forcefully updates the target path to point to the module to avoid erroneous paths being provided
Adds proper clamping of values to Forest Editor's brush size in the editor bar. Could be set to below 1 even though it would visually clamp to 1.
Temporarily disables fields and handling of 'open in Torsion'.
Fixes bad pixel in gui/images/tab_border.png which was causing it to fail to generate bitmap array properly
Makes the New GUI option from menubar in GUI Editor use same Create New Asset method as everything else
Disables access to the CubemapDesc reflector field in the material editor as it's not nominally used now in favor of probes
Adds proper loading of roughness and metalness fields in material editor
Fixes the default ReflectProbePreviewMat to use a better base DiffuseMap (No Material) rather than the occluder
Fixes disable display for some options in the advanced panel in the shape editor so they look more fitting to everything else
Adds check to avoid spam of markItem errors in the event requested tree item is invalid
Fixed remove material button and command in TerrainMaterial Editor
Ensure that probes are masked to be rendered during bake passes so they can contribute during a bake allowing multibakes
Adjusted order of the connect data for the forward shaders to fix a mis-port issue
Processed core, tools and default modules to utilize assets
Converted all console types that were string based, such as TypeImageFilename to utilize const char*/the string table, which avoids a lot of type swapping shenanigans and avoids string corruption
Removed unneeded MainEditor mockup module
Removed some unused/duplicate image assets from the tools
Also corrected a string formatting issue with loading static cubemaps on probes that could lead to a crash
Fixed the resources loaded handling so it would correctly initialize the probe's cubemaps even if the initial ghost network packet assigned a cubemap before we fully init'd the client object
Also fixes handling of metal materials during bakes to render properly, and fixes a possible double-up return in findObjectByType, which could cause doubling when getting probes in the scene
Added initial behavior for ImageAssets to hold a list of GFX resources of different texture profiles to avoid mem leaks with incorrect-typed usages
Added function to ImageAsset to get best-fit asset, allowing for fallbacks if the requested assetID is not found
Added function to ShapeAsset to get best-fit asset, allowing for fallbacks if the requested assetID is not found
Disabled fields for dynamic and static shadowmap refresh rates
Moved noShape model to core/rendering/shapes to place it in a more logical module position
Added an include to avoid undefined type compile error and removed unneeded semicolon from zone code
Added call to reload probe textures when a reloadTextures call is made
Adjusted default directional light shadowmap settings to not be as extreme
Added utility function to probe manager to allow any class to request a 'best fit' list of probes that would affect a given location, allowing other classes such as fog or particles to utilize IBL. Also updated probeManager's forward rendering to utilize same function to reduce code duplication.
Shifted shape loader code to utilize assimp for loader consistency and testing
Changed render bin used for SSAO postfx so it runs at the right time
Made Core_Rendering module scan for assets
Updated loose file references to a number of assets to follow proper formatting
Refactored asset import code to follow a more consistent object heirarchy structure on importing assets, allowing more reliable cross-referencing between inbound items
Updated asset import logic for materials/images so that they properly utilize ImageType. Images correctly save out the assigned image type, materials reference the images' type to know what map slot they should be used in. Importer logic also updated to better find-and-add associated images based on type.
Cleaned up a bunch of old, outdated code in the asset importer
Added initial handling for in-place importing of files without needing to process them through the UI.
Added ability to edit module script from RMB context menu if torsion path is set
Updated list field code for variable inspector to utilize correct ownerObject field
left:
addField( "specularMap", TypeImageFilename, Offset(mPBRConfigMapFilename, Material), MAX_STAGES,
scripthook till last since that *will* break all current materials.
