It controls the quality of the upsampling filter. This can help a lot
if heavy scaling is needed to maintain performance, it also helps if
MSAA is not enabled.
There are 3 quality levels, low, medium and high. 1, 4 and 9 bilinear
taps are used for each level respectively. The high quality setting
employs a tent filter.
-DFILAMENT_SKIP_SAMPLES=ON with CMake
-Pfilament_skip_samples with gradle
This change also renames CMake options specific to Filament
to avoid clashes with subprojects.
Currently it only selects how many samples are used.
Low,medium,high and ultra respectively map to 7,11,16 and 32 samples.
The default is "low", which is sufficient for most mobile applications.
This is achieved by computing a small 2x2 box blur in the AO pass
taking advantage of quad shading, which allows to halve the size
of the bilateral blur kernel.
Reducing the size of the blur kernel has a side effect to kick Adreno
gpu into direct mode, which apparently is much faster here.
Overall we go from 3.4ms to 2.4ms on Pixel4.
The quality is impacted, but not severely. This probably assumes
GPU that have working derivatives.
This is 466 KB insted of the usual 850 KB. It assumes that users do not
need spec-gloss, non-lit, or a special transparency mode.

We can add a new maven project for this next week.
math/mathwfd.h forward declares all {mat|vec}{2|3|4}<> classes,
which allows us to remove their respective #include in a lot of
our public headers.
Our math headers are full of templates, so this should help build times
a bit.
Also we want to keep the public headers as minimalist as possible.
For Android and wasm we do not use the filesystem and therefore do not
need `utils::Path`.
```
libgltfio-jni.so BEFORE 1.9 MB (693 KB gzipped)
libgltfio-jni.so AFTER 1.4 MB (542 KB gzipped)
```
Threshold can be either on or off, and only thresholds at 1.0 when
activated (in pre-exposed mode).
This allows to use very high strengths values for the bloom without
softening the rest of the image, and is useful for artistic considerations.
Note that libgeometry is already included in `filament-android`, this
simply exposes more of its existing functionality.
The Java version of SurfaceOrientation is similar to the JavaScript
version because we are bundling it into the main Filament package, even
though it is a separate library in C++. This is much simpler than
creating a brand new Java package.
New Android sample that tests this is forthcoming.
Fixes#1729.
Fulfills a request from tirichards@.
This is similar in some ways to dynamic backface culling but simpler
because there is no interaction with double-sided lighting.
For reference, dynamic backface culling was implemented with #1936, #1877, #1641.
This feature adds one new method to `FilamentAsset` and uses it in our
Kotlin, JavaScript, and C++ helpers:
utils::Entity popRenderable() noexcept;
This pops a ready renderable off an internal queue, or returns 0 if no
renderables have become ready. It provides a simple way for clients to
gradually add renderables to the scene as they become ready. Previously
clients could only get the entire list of entities, regardless of
whether they had Renderable components or complete textures.
To facilitate this feature, this PR adds a new internal-only class to
gltfio called `DependencyGraph`, which is a temporary object used for
bookkeeping during the asynchronous load.
`DependencyGraph` discovers ready-to-render entities by tracking the
textures that each entity depends on. This is a graph because
renderables connect to a set of material instances, which in turn
connect to a set of parameter names, which in turn connect to a set of
texture objects. These relationships are not easily inspectable using
the Filament API or ECS.
We were already using jobs for decoding PNG and JPEG files, but we were
doing a join. This add three methods to ResourceLoader that allow
clients to amortize the decoding process across multiple frames, even on
single-threaded platforms like WebGL.
This PR adds async loading to the following demos:
- samples/gltf_viewer (now shows a progress bar in the UI)
- android/sample-gltf-viewer
- web/samples/helmet.html
Fixes#1876.
