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::
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.
