GBitmap Changes:
Added all other formats to gbitmap that we support
gbitmap now supports cubemaps
added converters for all these other formats
added stb_image_resize for extrudemips so we can extrude mipmaps for all other formats
GFXTextureManager
Can now directly make cubemaps and texture arrays based on the GFXTextureProfile
API implementations for all functions that cubemaps and arrays needed
Both ies and cookies can now exist on a light
We are still not using all the capabilities of an IES profile, such as candela and luminance values we are just using them as a mask for the moment
Issues compiling on mac and linux, will need to update the ies-loader to use torque methods instead of std::
It was mixing vars up between it and forward. resolved by prefixing the forward vars with "in" as the rest are, as well as pointing the val at the const String ShaderGenVars::lightSpotParams("$inlightSpotParams");
set the minimum range to draw a shadow to 25 units, and the max to 10k (context, default draw distance is 1k)
'double' the max texture size allowed to 8192^2 (was 4096^2) to allow folks to throw more machine at it if they really *really* wish to
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
Added templated getObjectsByClass to Scene for easier engine-side polling of objects, including nested checks for subscenes
Proper init'ing of mGamemodeName in LevelAsset, as well as proper fieldType for mIsSubLevel
D3D11 added logic to handle scaling down of textures in cubemap arrays for lower texture resolution preferences
Added ability to collapse groups programmatically to GuiVariableInspector
Upped PSSM shadowmap max size to 4096
Caught GL deferred lighting/probes up to D3D11
Temporarily disabled forward lighting/probes on GL materials until conversion finished
Upped smMaxInstancingVerts to 2000 from 200 to support slightly more detailed meshes being instanced
Reordered project settings so they load ahead of core modules, so that core modules can actually use project settings
Established current preset file for PostFXManager to use for reverting
WIP logic for forcing probes to update as part of level lighting load step in loading process
Streamlined PostFXManager code, removing unnecessary/redundant files
Coverted HDR, Lightrays and SSAO and ExamplePostEffect to use new PostFX Manager/Editor paradigm
PostFX manager now enacts callbacks so that postFXs' can process their own settings as well as provide editor fields
Changed PostFX editor to work with new callbacks via using VariableInspector
Updated PostEffectAsset's template file so new PostFX's will now automatically register with the PostFXManager and have the needed new callbacks for integration
Made HDR on by default, removed enable field from editing
Made probe bake resolution a project setting
Updated many GL postFX shaders to have proper case for PostFx.glsl
Example module now loads ExampleGUI and ExamplePostEffect during init'ing
Removed unneeded autoload definitions from ExampleModule's module file
Fixed Graphics Adapter settings field to properly display as well as apply setting
Updated many referenced profiles in tools folder to use the Tools specific gui profiles to make theming more consistent
Fixed coloration of tools button bitmap to make theming more consistent
Updated a few theme settings for improved visibility with theme, particularly selected/highlighted text
Moved AssetBrowser field types to separated folder/files
Updated new module creation to properly utilize template file instead of overriding it with a programmatic script generation.
Removed unneded default autoload definitions from new modules
Added WIP for editing Module/Asset dependencies
Updated the PostEffectAsset to properly generate glsl and hlsl files from templates
Updated module editor window to display only necessary fields
Added WIP of TerrainAsset
Added shaderCache gitignore file so folder isn't lost
adds a $pref::Shadows::teleportDis and $pref::Shadows::turnRate (defaults 4, and 1 respectively)
if either is exceeded during a given frame, shadow chaches are forced to refresh themselves.
SPECIAL NOTE: highly suggest https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/pull/1441 or a variation thereof to prevent debug spew and false-postives for occlusion results.
With significant research, development and prototyping assistance from both @andr3wmac (shaders and partial hook work), and @LuisAntonRebollo (additional culling)
System operates as follows:
1) materials are given an additional castDynamicShadows boolean entry. (Default at time of writing is true by request. Personal usage at time of writing defaults to false. value is default-initialized in materialDefinition.cpp. script/gui exposed)
2) lights are given a staticRefreshFreq and dynamicRefreshFreq (in milliseconds). script/gui exposed
3) materials are (effectively) sorted into dynamic and static shadowmap render lists based on flag. (see shadowMapPass.cpp)
4) initial shadowmaps are generated for each light and 'list'.
5) as each refreshFreq times out, the relevant shadowmap for a given light is refreshed.
Special notes:
dynamicRefreshFreq for all lights is set to a (script exposed) 8MS refresh timer.
StaticRefreshFreq for the lions share of lights defaults to 250 MS (1/4 of a second)
scattersky's embedded light, which is intended to operate in a mobile manner, defaults to 8
to reiterate, these are all customizable per-light via script/inspector gui in the case of alternate project needs.
