need to reverse the bitshift on shaderstages so we get values between 0-5, need to also revert the mBoundConstVec back to a 2dimensional array so that the binding point can be dynamic as well.
Added multiple descriptions to handles.
While maps are very efficient and match data very quickly due to hashing and what not, they are tricky memory wise, we cant clear them if they are only made up of structs and enums. Need to explore other methods for doing this. Original system had a sub buffer system with a check based on whether the handle was marked vertex/pixel. With 6 stages possible now we need to think of a more effective method. Since shaderstage is now a bit flag maybe some sort of streaming setup could be used to write without a loop.
working example, renders all gui controls.
We still cant render a scene, something to do with the constant buffer at slot 0 of the vertex shader being too small..... gotta figure this one out..................
up custommaterial inputs to 16
add Material::PhotometricMask:handling to processedcustommaterial
and for paranoias sake go ahead and be explicit about _getLightMaterial (those *should* be unneeded as they optionally default to that, but it's how they were in the beatup fork during testing)
Refactored DX Shader compilation and reflection to be more similar to opengl
Added support for more than 1 const buffer per shader stage.
This is boilerplate code, no functionality yet, that will be added in further commits. Though this builds without errors do not try and run it at this point.
Updated IES loader to use torque math functions and calls in the problem areas for mac and linux.
New F32_MIN_EX which is lower than F32_MIN (required for ies profiles)
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::
ADDED: Ability to add IES profile as the cookie texture slot in both point lights and spot lights
TODO:
Have the IES Profile also drive the settings for the lights.
Make it work with Cookie textures. IES profiles are to be another slot in the advanced light section.
note this *does* require a baked skylight in the main scene
todo: track down why a similar protocol does not operate for guimaterialpreview and guiobjectview
