The UI was in a weird state after the user selected a new material but
before they had chosen a particular variant. The highlighted
material did not match the content of the source editor.
matdbg
- Materials are now sorted by name and the sha id is hidden.
- PostProcess materials now separated from Surface materials.
- PostProcess details now hide the non-existing properties.
- Larger default pane size for the material list.
- Use nicer font.
matinfo
- Print out the Material Domain.
filament
- get*Slow methods in FMaterial are now private.
matdbg is now linked into the Filament Engine in debug config (allowing
live inspection of GLSL / SPIRV) and into the matinfo tool (to support
the --web-server option).
In both cases, the library spins up a small web server that listens to
http://localhost:8080. You can run any Filament app and attach to it.
The web client caches all material information. This allows the user to
close an atttached Filament app, and the web app will continue to
function properly (useful for crash diagnosis). Moreover the user can
launch a second Filament app and the web client will add its materials
to the existing list (useful when comparing two Filament apps).
For now this only supports inspection, not editing. Some of the material
info such as required attributes is not yet displayed but this will be
easy to flesh out in a subsequent PR.
