* debugging PCF mode
This mode always uses a hard PCF and takes a
slightly slower code path.
* dynamic shadowmap visualization
The directional shadowmap visualizer is implemented behind a
specialization constant. Add the DebugRegistry infrastructure to be
able to update the spec-constant at runtime and have a subset of
all materials invalidated.
This allows to toggle the visualization at runtime using a debug
property.
This is also a proof of concept that we can update spec-constants
at runtime; we could probably leverage this work for engine-wide
shader configurations.

these materials would not generate proper structure or shadow buffer,
because they used a special variant that in most case removed the
user code.
now when the user code writes the depth or calls discard, the user
shader is kept.
Previously, when a material was expilicitly built for feature level 0, it was
necessary to write ESSL 1.0 code which was incompatible with the OpenGL feature
level 1 implementation in Filament. Rather than adjust the Filament
implementation so that feature level 1 uses the same workarounds as feature
level 0 to emulate GLES 3.0+ features, it's more runtime-efficient to have matc
embed ESSL 1.0 and 3.0 shaders as separate chunks and load the corresponding
one based on the active feature level.
Feature level 0 material shaders must still be written in what is effectively
ESSL 1.0. To assist with this, a small set of compatibility definitions are
introduced when building the ESSL 3.0 variant. These are virtually all
textureXXX() functions, and end up either optimized out or inlined by glslang.
One final effect of this change is that external and 3D samplers are now
properly supported in feature level 0 materials.
This PR sets up the ability for shaders to use `gl_ClipDistance`, which will be needed in the future. Desktop GL supports this natively. OpenGL ES requires the EXT_clip_cull_distance extension.
Unfortunately glslang does not support this extension, so we have to employ a workaround for mobile when going through glslang. We instead write to `filament_gl_ClipDistance`, and then modify the SPIR-V to decorate this as `gl_ClipDistance`. See the comment in SpirvFixup.h.
Note this PR does not actually use `gl_ClipDistance` yet, so there should be no change to shaders.
the math needs to be maintained in highp, including during the blur
pass.
we add the ability to specify a "precision" qualifier to the "output"
of a post-process material.
we also remove the mediump clamping we used to do on mobile, it shouldn't
be done automatically behind the scenes, it's up to the shaders to do
it if it makes sense.
* froxelizer doesn't use textures anymore
All data is stored in UBOs.
Additionally, the buffer size is no longer hardcoded at compile time.
This CL cuts in half the numbers of froxels to accommodate devices
limited to 16KiB,
* Use a specialization constant to adjust the size of froxel UBO
This really only affects OpenGL in practice because metal supports 256MB
minimum and only 3% of android devices support less than 32K, which is
what we need.
This is only the first step where we:
- clean-up some code to prepare for 2nd step
- add support for the linear->srgb in the shaders
The linear->srgb conversion is protected by a
specification constant and will be enabled only
if the corresponding EGL extension in not present.
Then, if enabled, the actual conversion is
controlled by a uniform so that it can be
selectively enabled on swapchains that have it
turned on.
In this change, the emulation logic that sets
these gates is not implemented (that's step 2).
This CL contains two parts:
- changes to matc/filamat
- changes to filament itself
Filamat can now generate ES2 compatible shaders. Only the unlit variant
is supported. Fog and picking are supported as well.
post-processing, skinning, instancing, all lighting and shadowing are not supported.
Filament is updated to not issue commands that are not supported in ES2.
Addtionnally, the hello-triangle sample is updated to work on an ES2 device.
They're not hardcoded in a database inside MaterialBuilder and are
generated. This will be needed later for ES2 support.
We could actually imagine something more dynamic in the future too.
- refactor the code so that all defines are generated in the same place
- generate common_type after all defines are generated
- protect (with defines) structures and UBOs that are not needed, based
on the variant
We were using a specialization constant to size an array inside an
UBO interface block, which caused the crash in the Vulkan driver.
However, this specialization constant was only used to workaround a
Chrome bug on WebGL. Additionally, specialized array size inside blocks
are not fully supported in spirv.
This workaround simply replaces the specialization constant by a
constant on Vulkan.
Fix#6444
At least some adreno compilers don't like returning an element of a
UBO array that is a structure in the vertex shader.
To work this around we have to copy the each of the structure fields.
Fixes#6355
* minimal backend support for compute
- added api to dispatch a compute shader
- added api to create and bind a ssbo
- added api to read back a buffer
Only implemented in the gl backend
* Add a backend compute test suite
* basic support for compute shaders in matc
this is still very much work-in-progress.
We're not supporting images nor ssbo for now.
* rename UniformInterfaceBlock to BufferInterfaceBlock
* augment BufferInterfaceBlock to support ssbo features
- add support for std430
- add support for ssbo
- add support for variable-size array
- add support for memory qualifiers
* reformat MaterialBuilder
* material format: move subpasses outside of parameters
subpasses now are their own json property instead of being a
"parameter".
* refactor parameter() methods to match Buffer/SamplerInterfaceBlock
We're just shuffling the arguments.
* add support for buffers in .mat files
* filamat now generates buffer blocks (ssbo)
* take feature level into consideration when optimizing shaders
* don't store the 'uniform binding' chunk for level 2 materials
this includes some refactoring/cleanups of MaterialParser
* matinfo: fixes for compute
- separate subpasses from parameters
- don't attempt to print material properties
The main goal of this change is to have "ugly" code only in filamat.
In particular, the sampler binding information is now recorded
into the material file and used on the filament side to inform the
backend.
This means that on the filament side we only have generic code with
all the "uglyness" in filamat. In particular SamplerBindingMap and
SibGenerator now only exist in filamat.
Files of greater interest:
Material.cpp, MaterialBuilder.cpp
GLES3.0 (and GL4.1) need informations about the uniform block bindings
because they don't allow to do that setup in the shaders. So we store
that information in the material blob and retrieve it on the filament
side in Material. This information is passed to Program so it can
create the bindings.
Prior to this change, this information was set by Material itself, but
this ment we had two places where these bindings were hardcoded.
The bulk of the change is to add a new material chunk which stores an
array of {name, binding}, retrieve it on the Material side and pass it
to Program.
- remove unused SamplerBindingMap parameter
In fact, the SamplerBindingMap is used, but it is passed inside the
MaterialInfo structure, so it doesn't need to be passed as parameter.
- Don't create unneeded SamplerBindingMap temporaries
* new feature level API for backends
backend can now return a "feature level", each level corresponds to a
"bundle" of features.
Level1: ES3.0 capabilities
Level2: ES3.1 capabilities + 31 textures + cubemap arrays
Currently metal always returns level 1, GL and Vulkan return level 2
if 31 textures or more are supported.
* Add public APIs for feature levels
* Add infrastructure to check feature levels in materials
* validate material feature level on use
The validation is done when creating a renderable. If the engine doesn't
support the material's feature level, an exception is thrown (or assert
if exceptions are not enabled).
* material documentation
* activate ESSL 3.10 for feature level 2
also generate #defines to identify available feature levels
* support for cubemap arrays in the public API
if feature level 2 is supported, cubemap arrays can be used from the
public API.
* add release notes
GL_ES_30 becomes MOBILE
GL_CORE_41 becomes DESKTOP
ShaderModel controls which flavor of GLSL (GL or ES) is used both when
reading and outputting materials.
It's also used to set default quality settings and the default precision
of all fragment shaders.
Technically, Vulkan and Metal don't need this distinction, but the GL
backend does.
This is not intended to be used yet because we're not currently
checking that cubemap array are actually supported, however, if they
are, they should work.
- rename common_math and common_shadowing from .fs to .glsl
because they were both included in both vertex and fragment
shaders
- add getFragCoord() which always returns coordinates in the
glsl convention. This is useful when used with RNGs to get
consistant results accross backends.
We now have a single varyings.glsl containing our varyings for both
the vertex and fragment shader. This file is included with the right
definition of VARYING as `in` or `out`.
inputs.vs is now renamed attributes.vs
This works by first generating a reflection buffer which gets blurred,
then the color pass samples from this buffer according to the roughness
of the surface being rendered.
A lot of the changes here involve utilizing "reserved" variants for
the new "SSR" pass and all the fallout from that.
