* Materials can now specify a shadow strength factor
Materials have a new property: shadowStrength that can be used to
attenuate all shadows received by this material. e.g.:
```
void material(inout MaterialInputs material) {
prepareMaterial(material);
material. shadowStrength = 0.1;
}
```

The workaround which were intended to be used with the native driver
only, were picked-up by the webgl backend when running on firefox,
probably because of the different GL string.

In practice none of the extensions we would use eglGetProcAddress for
are supported. And we had a case where an extension was reported
supported but eglGetProcAddress didn't return the corresponding
entry point.
update web demos remote ui.
FIXES=[315033914]
Material constants (a.k.a: specialization constants) can only be set
during Material creation through Material::Builder.
This change somewhat relaxes that limitation by allowing constants to
be set at runtime on Material directly.
Currently this new API is still private and only supported on FMaterial.
This feature works by invalidating the HwProgram cache of the concerned
Material, causing a shader recompile per variant; so this API is costly
and should be used only for debugging or during app/game configuration.
The TAA material is modified to use constants instead of #defines for
various settings and those are exposed in TaaOptions as well is in
ViewerGui. So with this change all aspects of the TAA material can
be changed at runtime.
- reverse the link and original relationship between
docs/viewer/filament-viewer.js and
web/filament-js/filament-viewer.js
- symlink in github pages does not seem to link to outside of the
/doc directory (it does not get pulled in during deploy).
- Pin lit to version 2.8.0 (to fix a breakage caused by new
release).
- Update viewer filament version to latest
- Use symbolic link instead of having two copies of the same
file. (Could we consider removing `filament-viewer.js` in
`web/filament-js/` ?)
- Update `web/filament-js/README.md`
This features didn't work well, had a lot of artifacts and generally
wasn't very useful. This kind of effect should be accomplished
differently.
This is an API break because BloomOptions::anamorphism has been removed.
- separate out the settings for bloom, ssao and ssr
- update webgl binaries
- change default bloom resolution to 384 from 360 to have up to 7
mipmap levels vertically
A material global is a variable seen by all materials. There are 4 such
variable which are all vec4 and they can be set on a per-view basis.
All materials used during Renderer::render() will see the same value.
These variable can be accessed in the materials by using
getMaterialGloabal{0|1|2|3}.
* Add way to retrieve the user world-space in materials
added `getUserWorldFromWorldMatrix()` and `getUserWorldPosition()` to
retrieve the API-level (user) world position in materials.
Deprecated `getWorldOffset()`
`getWorldOffset` didn't work when an IBL rotation was applied.
* fix large scenes with an ibl rotation
Rotate the IBL around the camera instead of the world so that the camera
is always at the origin regardless of the rotation.
* Add new alphaToCoverage material property
The alphaToCoverage property lets you enable or disable alpha to coverage
in a material. More importantly it lets you overrides the behavior of
blending: masked which automatically enables alphaToCoverage.
* Update release notes
