we attempted to select a shader which processed the required number of
component, but were always selecting the 4-components version.
this should improve blur performance for VSM.
This basically adds two settings:
- highPrecision at the View level, which controls the bit depth
of the vsm shadow texture used. This affects all shadowmaps.
- elvsm per shadowmap, which enables Exponential Layered VSM.
the main change in the shaders is that we now always output the
"negative" EVSM, even when it's not enabled. If no shadowmap uses
ELVSM, then the texture is stil an RG texture and the calculation is
lost (with some luck culled by the shader compiler), either way it's
not a lot of math and it's done only once per shadow texel.
During the color pass, on the other hand, we compute the "negative"
EVSM only if enabled.
We were always adjusting the near/far of the view volume based on the
scene content for shadowing, which defeated the "stable" shadows.
Also changed the default cascade splits from a linear split to a
log2 split, because due to the perspective projection, the log2 split
actually looks linear. Also intuitively, it makes more sense to give
more resolution to the shadows close to the camera.
* Fix a crash by setting not exist material parameters on ubershader
* gltfio: add getFeatureMap, remove logic for dummy textures

to emulate the bindless API in the gl backend we always used the highest
texture unit available. However at feature level 3, we support up to 62
textures, so the that max was bumped to 62 -- however, where we're not
on a feature level 2 device, that texture unit doesn't exist.
Instead we now always use binding 31, which is guaranteed to exist by
EGL's minspec.
* 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
it is not true that the whole box is inside the frustum if we have
8 vertices and some frustum vertices are in the box -- that's even
non-sensical.
We now test for this case by checking that we have all (8) vertices of
the box inside the frustum.
This caused some shadows to be missing.
