exposes the GFX->beginReset(); method to script to allow folks to force the gbuffer to reinitialize (if, say a custom element is holding on to data in a buffer and it needs a cleaning, to name one example)
A lot of instances where some function args are not actually modified in any way, meaning that it is better for performance to convert them into const references. This prevents an additional copy, which can help performance.
- Updated to work with 0.5.x SDK
- Uses Oculus Rendering rather than PostFX
- Stereo rendering refactored so more rendering info is grabbed from the DisplayDevice
- Implements an Offscreen Canvas for in-game gui with oculus
- Message dialogs and metrics display can now go to the OffScreen Canvas (if oculus demo is setup correctly)
During side-by-side rendering the refraction texture needs to be updated
for both the left and right fields. These changes add a new GFXDevice
event type to track when a field is about to be rendered. The
ReflectionManager listens to this new event and ensures that the
refraction texture will be updated if it is referenced by a material.
- Added an option for a postFX to get its viewport from a named texture
in slot 0, if there is one. This allows the postFX to operate when the
named input texture's viewport is different than the current viewport.
- Modified the SSAO postFX to use the new
PFXTargetViewport_NamedInTexture0 option to more closely link SSAO with
the prepass buffer.
- Modifed the GFX method setActiveRenderTarget() with a new parameter
that indicates if the current viewport should be modified with the new
rendering target. This defaults to true to maintain its previous
behaviour. The postFX rendering pipeline sets this to false as it now
handles its own viewport setup, and removes an unnecessary
GFX->setViewport() call.
- Side by side rendering implemented throughout the graphics pipeline.
- New GuiTSCtrl renderStyle property is set to "stereo side by side" to
activate.
- You set an IDisplayDevice on the GameConnection to define any vertical
FOV, projection offset, and stereo eye offset properties required for
the stereo rendering (no display device included with this commit).
- Full and Empty templates updated with correct scripts and shaders.
