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.
* 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.
