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
Added sanity check to reflectionProbe preview shape so if the material didn't load right, it doesn't crash
Added logic to better control if module groups as a whole should fail if a module dependency in that group fails, defaulted to off
Added sanity check if a shape's material failed to load so it doesn't crash when checking accumulation rules
Added search bar to SimView control for easier use
cliffsnotes:
$Core::WetnessTexture = "core/rendering/images/wetMap.png"; //for the influence degree map
probes/skylight have a new canDamp boolean, set to off for probes, on for skylight by default.
:levelinfo has a dampness multiplier (0-1)
kicked up numTextures from 8 to 16 for shaderdata and postfx since that hit the 8 texture-in prior limit, and we've already adopted apis that can handle the higher count
fix high-metalness object capture (had the lerp the wrong direction for canceling out NULL-ibl due to full metallic)
use dStrcmp for (Con::getVariable("$Probes::Capturing", "0") comparisons. and early out on rendering probes when we are capturing, not when we aren't.
Also utilizes the updated bake handling to have material asset previews render as a sphere shape asset, overriding with the material asset's material, improving distinction of what is a material asset vs image asset
Also updates the sphere preview mesh to be more generic and not only for reflection probes
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
Updated debug forward mat viz to work with probe visualization
More correct premult math
Updated probe viz menu behavior to properly toggle and mark which is active
Added navigation history to AB, as well as ability to navigate via forward and backward buttons and breadcrumb buttons
Added folder 'asset type', allowing you to create, rename, delete and move folders via the asset browser for better organization
Adjusted various behaviors to work with the address-driven navigation/organization of the AB
Expanded visibility options for the AB and integrated them into editor settings so they are retained
Added Search field for searching the folder structure, in addition to the existing preview tiles search
Adjusted drag-n-drop behavior of the platform code so it accepts dropping folders
Added ability to dump active PostEffects list to see what is currently running
Added ability to mark specific items in GuiTreeViewCtrl as hidden
Made reflection probe bounds boxes translucent rather than wireframe to improve editing visibility
Added expanded loose file references to LevelAsset for common companion files like decals and posteffect scrips
Added editor setting for Editor Layout Mode, allowing you to set the editor into 'Modern' layout.
Added editor settings to set default import config ruleset, and also ability to set auto-import. If both of these are set, then as long as the importing assets have no errors, they will auto-process and the user doesn't need to manually check and confirm them via the asset import window
Fixed multiple case sensitivity issues
Adds GL ARB check for cubemap arrays for certain cases where the driver only supports the extension, not as core
Fixes undeeded namespace declaration in an inline operator function
Cleaned up/reordered some modules default in the data dir
WIP of Das Boot test map
Begun refactoring visualizer tools
Added default cloud and water textures to core/rendering so water and cloud objects work correctly
Added default Fog_Cube mesh so volumetric fog works correctly
Fixed BRDF texture binding in forward pass so it doesn't screw with the probes or regular lighting results during bakes
Fixed early-out check on probe manager so probes can be rendered during reflect pass as well.
Reorg'd probe init to flow better and be more robust on load
Cleaned up various parts of the probe render manager to be more stable
Fixed issue with crash on release due to numProbe in loops being 0
Updated glsl probe array shader
Beginning of rework of editor settings
Beginning of conversion of asset import config to similar system as editor settings
Separated baked cubemap load/processing logic into a separate function for clarity
various corrections for when fields change so it properly notifies down to the client
Fixed enable flag logic to actually work
Fixed skylight enable flag so it properly disables if flipped off
Reworked the reflection reference offset/scale behavior to re-integrate into the editor interface via button(and work)
Hid irrelevent fields from given probe types.
Filter out editPosOffset and bake button fields from being saved to avoid weird loading behavior
Temporarily disabled logic for forward render of probes to avoid data mangle. TODO: fix up forward once deferred math is locked in
Split probe modes out into distinct environmental probe objects
Removed the probes from tracking their own baked cubemap file paths and instead have a pref store it
Removed old probe shaders and materials that aren't used now.
Fixed mLastConst memory leak by removing nono line.
Shifted update of probe data to be triggered by probe changes.
Pack probes into the data arrays forward-first instead of keeping strict indicies.
todo: move bake to probeManager, clean up old/commented code, remove old probeMaterial stuff
