* [Fix] frame_generator sample: open ifstream with ios::binary
* [Fix] frame_generator sample: allocate storage for g_materialBuffer
reserve() merely reserves memory, but does not actually change the size of the vector.
* [Fix] frame_generator sample: destroy materials/renderables during cleanup
Otherwise the sample crashes with a Filament error saying that the material is still associated with a renderable.
These changes make it easier to test headless rendering in macOS.
I verified that this works using the frame_generator tool, however
it requires the fixes in PR #2529.
* API BREAKAGE: this change aims to fix multi-view support
What has changed:
- View doesn't have a notion of clear color anymore
- View doesn't have a notion of discard flags anymore
- The clear color and color-buffer discard/clear flags are moved to Renderer
- Skybox can now be set to a constant color
- View have a blend-mode
What does is all mean:
"Clearing" (i.e.) setting its background is now handled by Skybox, by
setting a constant color to the Skybox. This should take care of
drawing views side by side.
When a view needs to be drawn on top of another, it's BlendMode needs to
be set to TRANSLUCENT and of course and, generally, it wither won't have
a skybox, or will have one that sets some translucent pixels.
As an optimization, a View with BlendMode::OPAQUE will have its
background cleared with the color specified in Renderer.
If the SwapChain already has some content, it's now possible to set
the Renderer to not discard the content, together with TRANSLUCENT views,
it's possible to draw on top of that content.
It is NOT possible to share depth/stencil buffers between views.
Fixes: #2369, #2372, #2364
* Address reviewers comments.
Note: WebGL is still broken with this PR
Replace with forward declarations if needed and includes in .cpp that
now need them.
The idea here is to have our headers have the least amount of impact as
possible on our clients (e.g. compilation time).
In this first step, we just "blindly" move everything under src/driver
to a new library libbackend.a. And all headers are moved under
private/backend.
Note that "driver" is renamed "backend", but namespaces are unchanged for now.
Later we'll have to untangle the actual private headers from public
ones and ideally not have any private headers.
* Add material_testbed application
This application can be used to automatically vary material parameters over multiple frames and capture each frame as a PNG file. This makes it easier to test/compare/etc. It's also useful to generate documentation examples.
* Rename material_testbed to frame_generator
