it's getting there, but there have been a few spots noted where it eroneously corrupts text, so we'll have to pull this back out for a bit barring a proper resolution
1) fix spotlight shadow casting. we weren't properly accounting for reversedepthbuffer there
2) fix mismatched variables in forward lit spotlight param array
3) use disney diffuse in the generalized brdf, and apply it for spotlights after angular attenuation, not before
4) .provide a generailze luxTargMultiplier approach for spot and point lights (as well as future growth areas) so that range, angle ect can impact the brightness variable sent to a given light source shader without perpixel overhead
5) for spotlightParams in particular, use sizeof(point4f) for the alignedarray untill that's properly reviewed/revised
6) narrow attenuation slightly based on a given lights dot product to prevent tool vs outcome leakage, plus provide safeties for when a given spotslight's inner and outter angles match identially
-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.
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");
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
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
Shifted every-frame RT allocation to be stored in advancedLightBinManager
Remove deprecated references to dynamicShadowMap in light materials
Updated spotLight shaders to remove deprecated dynamic shadowmap reference which was causing a crash when spotlights had shadows turned on
Added GLSL version of Viz_SurfaceProperties so it works on both APIs
Also disables the Paraboloid shadowmap type, as it is non-functional.
Disabled light animations by default so as to not waste processing time if not needed
Sets point lights' shadow types to be cubemap by default, and lowers the overdark factor to make them look cleaner and not exacerbate aliasing.
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
leverage the fact shadergen spits out a modified material per pass, in this instance the shadow pass, to basically flip the translucent aspect off if you've got both translucency and alphatesting flipped on.
Initial implementation of changeable TSStatic materials via material slots and drag and drop of material assets onto world editor from AB
Updated Volumetric Fog to support ShapeAsset for it's model data
Added cmake option to hide literal filename fields if the class supports asset fields for the same input
Added light viz modes to see diffuse, specular and detail lighting modes(currently just sun)
New raycast console function to return back material of hit object
Moved GameObject logic to SceneObject and started fixing up of editor behavior to allow any SceneObject to be converted into a GO, along with all supported behavior such as instance-template management and spawning GO via drag-and-drop from AB
Fixed inspector field tooltip text to be positioned in inspector footer properly again
Drag and drop of shape asset attempts to drop at raycast position now, instead of just at the camera ray position
