- Both Scene and IBL are holding on to a skybox reference. We
need to make sure the order they are destroyed in right order.
- Reloading IBL should trigger resetting the indrect light in
gltf_viewer.
default parameters were not initialized which could cause them to
be incorrectly evaluated in the shader. this is actually a pretty
crazy bug that has been around since forever and which we were
"lucky" to not run into sooner.
this was exposed with the specular extension that was added recently.
Print a warning in case the sterescopic type in a compiled package is
different than what's in the engine's setting. The application may
proceed, but it could end up visual glitches when enabling stereoscopic
rendering.
This requires the stereoscopic type to be written into the package,
which needs a material version bump.
this change shouldn't have any impact on ARM, however, according
to cppreference it's not safe to mix seq_cst with other memory
orders:
"as soon as atomic operations that are not tagged memory_order_seq_cst
enter the picture, the sequential consistency guarantee for the program
is lost"
Value of mCgltfBuffersLoaded is sometimes retained across creation of FAssetLoader which skips loading the buffer in AssetLoaderExtended#createPrimitive leading to null pointer crash
if it can't find a name for a node, it will revert to the config's
defaultNodeName, however, if that is nullptr also, a crash will occur.
so we provide a last-resort hardcoded name in that case.
* improve parallel_for a bit
We get about 40% performance increase. The gain comes from not having
to copy the JobData structure each time we create a job, by using a
new emplaceJob() method, we can create the structure directly into
its destination.
* avoid calling wakeAll() when possible
wakeAll() is very expensive and not always needed when a job finishes
because there may not be anyone waiting on that job.
We now maintain a waiter count per job, and use that to determine if
we need to notify or not.
And now that the JobSystem overhead is lower, we can decrease the size
of the jobs, which improves the load balancing.
* mActiveJobs fixes
some comments claimed mActiveJobs needed to be modified before or after
accessing the WorkQueue; this couldn't be correct because there were no
guaranteed global ordering with the workQueue.
- reduce the number of calls to notify_one() and notify_all().
notify_one() is not only called when running a new job, and
notify_all() only when a job finishes.
- don't hold the condition lock while calling notify_*(), as it is not
strictly needed, and because notify_*() can be very slow, there can
be a lot of contention on this lock as a result; blocking the whole
jobsystem thread pool.
- add a new version of run() that takes an opaque thread id that can
be retrieved from a job's execute function; this is especially
intended to be used by parallel_for(); it's just a more efficient
version of run() that avoids a hashmap lookup.
Overall these change yield a significant performance boost:
- running + waiting a job: +200%
- running many jobs: +150%
- running many jobs in parallel: +50%
- remove deprecated morphing APIs
- repair gltfio, samples and tests
The new API doesn't allow a MorphTargetBuffer per RenderPrimitive,
instead the MorphTargetBuffer is specified per Renderable.
gltfio separates RenderPrimitives from Renderables, in particular all
RenderPrimitives are created before their Renderable; this was
problematic for this change because all primitives must share
a single MorphTargetBuffer living in the Renderable.
To fix this, we're no longer initializing the morphing paramters
at RenderPrimitive creation, instead we store a reference to the
BufferSlot in the Primtive structure, so that later, when the Renderable
is created we can finally retrieve the BufferSlot and initialize its
morphing paramters, which are not available. The "morphing parameters"
are now expanded to contain the MorphTargetBuffer as before (except now
it's always the same for all the primitives of a Rendrable), as well
as the offset within the buffer and the vertex count.
The number of SH bands used for the indirect light irradiance
computations can be set to 1, 2 or 3 (default) in Material::Builder.
For e.g. in lower-end devices w/ non HDR content, it might be
beneficial to set this value to 2.
BUGS=[341971013]
going forward, instead of using the printf style syntax for panics
we use the c++ stream syntax
The new macros that replace ASSERT_*CONDITON are
FILAMENT_CHECK_PRECONDITON
FILAMENT_CHECK_POSTCONDITION
FILAMENT_CHECK_ARITIHMETIC
Example usage:
FILAMENT_CHECK_PRECONDITON(condition) << "Message";
It's also now possible to define FILAMENT_PANIC_USES_ABSL=1 to redirect
all these calls to Abseil's CHECK() macro.
Set combine_multiview_images to false by default as it's the desirable
setting for most Android devices.
Set the flag to true for GUI by default.
Put the `Combine Multiview Images` checkbox under the `Stereo mode` box
for an easier access.
The current API allowed to have a buffer for each primitive in a
renderable. We instead restrict the API so that there is a single
MorphTargetBuffer for the whole renderable, shared by all primitives.
The buffer can be shared thanks to the "offset" parameter on
setMorphTargetBufferAt().
Also
- fix FMorphTargetBuffer::updateDataAt()
- add support for the "offset" parameter of setMorphTargetBufferAt()
