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
refactored detection of texture sizes for cubemaps
removed the assumption that if we give U32 GFXTextureManager::getTextureDownscalePower( GFXTextureProfile *profile ) no profile, it should go right ahead and downscale anyway
sniped the downscaling strings in the resulting U32 getProbeTexSize(); and void setCubeTexSize(const U32 cubemapFaceSize); until sucj time as we can properly follow up all possible combinations of shiping in one scale, and a customer choosing to use lower resolution textures as the current result is a hard shutoff entirely
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
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
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 case sensitivity problem
Fixed clang compiler problem with having the class namespace used in an inline for the == operator
Tweaked some theme stuff to be more consistent.
Added initial test of no-pie for linux
test sidestep of getTexCoord in shadergen hlsl feature so we don't assert when getting the terrain's shaderstuffs(which uses float3 instead of normal float2)
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
TODO: core::rendering pref on the BRDF texture instead of hardcode path, add best-pick logic for forward probes and double-check ogl forward is playing nice.
that way if multiple probes get updated at once, we don't hit the update loop for each one, which is obviously silly
also fixed the 'probes' cubemaps aren't ready until you nudge them'
turns out when we were setting out global var which we used for the irradiance and prefilter cubemap paths, it was being set AFTER the probes got loaded
so it was using an invalid path to look up the cubemaps
-@areloch
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
