* Replace generic tonemap curve with a simpler one
This change removes the shoulder parameter which had inconsistent
behaviors. The new curve is simpler and designed to still match
by default the gray point and the contrast of ACES in a bright
surround.
* Fix build
In low-light conditions, peak luminance sensitivity of the eye shifts
toward the blue end of the visible spectrum. This effect called the
Purkinje effect occurs during the transition from photopic (cone-based)
vision to scotopic (rod-based) vision. Because the rods and cones use the
same neural pathways, a color shift is introduced as the rods take over to
improve low-light perception.
This function aims to (somewhat) replicate this color shift and peak
luminance sensitivity increase to more faithfully reproduce scenes in
low-light conditions as they would be perceived by a human observer
(as opposed to an artificial observer such as a camera sensor).
The night adaptation can be controlled using a 0..1 factor for artistic
reasons: `ColorGrading::Builder::nightAdaptation()`.
* Use wide gamut color grading and gamut mapping
This change introduces a new API on ColorGrading to enable or disable gamut mapping at will. This feature is currently off by default and while useful and recommended, it isn't cheap and we need to figure out what we want our defaults to be especially on mobile targets.
Gamut mapping can be combined with luminance scaling to properly control hue skews.
* Small cleanup
* More precise Rec.2020 conversion
The new default values match almost exactly the filmic tone mapper which
is itself a close approximation of ACES. This result in a slightly more
contrasty and pleasing image out of the box.
* WIP New tone mapper API
* Implement tone mapper constructors and destructors
* Add new genertic tone mapper
* Make the generic tone mapper available in our sample UIs
* Fix warnings and crashes
* Fix generic tone mapper and graph mappers in the UI
* Add Java APIs for ToneMapper
* Implement copy/move operators for GenericToneMapper
* Generalize luminance scaling in color grading
Previously the luminance scaling step was tied to a specific tone
mapping operator, called "EVILS" in the API. This was however
somewhat misleading as EVILS really is a color handling system
that's independent of what we call tone mapping.
This change splits the luminance scaling step from the tone mapping
step, allowing the use of luminance scaling (the LICH part of EVILS)
with any tone mapping operator.
As a result, the operator known as EVILS is currently mapped to the
linear operator and renamed to "RESERVED" until it is replaced by
a proper — configurable — operator.
* Update release notes
* Fix web build
* Add new sample app: image_viewer
This app shows how to load and visualize images. It's also useful to work
on color grading and other post-processing effects by just loading an HDR
or EXR image as a reference.
This change also adds a new exposure setting to the color grading LUT.
* Fix comments and build
* Fix Metal
* Use high precision for the UV coordinates
* Fix refactoring issue
The focal length slider now works over a remote connection. Also, the
slider for focus distance now controls the value in `ViewerSettings`
(which gets applied to Camera) rather than the value in
`DepthOfFieldOptions` (which is deprecated).
* move the focus distance from DofOptions to Camera
The DofOption parameter is now deprecated, but will still work if the
focus distance is not set on Camera.
* A few new helper APIs on Camera
- getFocalLength() which returns the focal length used internally for
DoF computations.
- computeEffectiveFov() and computeEffectiveFocalLength() which can be
used to better simulate a real camera's FOV changes with the
focus distance.
Modified gltf_viewer so it uses the effective fov/focallendth when
DoF is active.
* simplify setLensProjection
We can call setProjection directly instead of converting to a fov
first, which ends up performing atan(tan(x)).
Also improve parameters names.
This fixes two different logcat messages that would occur when scrubbing
a slider in the UI:
- "Discarding message, message queue overflow."
- "Downloading model..." would repeat itself needlessly
This adds a WebSockets server to filament-utils-android.
Unlike my first attempt (#3599), this does not use a piping server and
is therefore much faster to use over a LAN. It also has lower user
friction because there is no need to touch a button in the app or
scan a QR code.
This adds libs/viewer to filament-utils-android and provides JNI
bindings for AutomationEngine.
This commit also changes the AutomationEngine to use PPM for screenshots
rather than PNG. The reasoning is that it is wasteful to include stb and
our two image-related libraries just to dump screenshots, especially for
a feature we might not use on Android.
The Filament View that gets passed to tick() is retained briefly when
screenshots are enabled, but it may be destroyed by the time the
PixelBufferDescriptor callback is invoked. So, we needed a way of
notifying the AutomationEngine.
This adds a `material` key to `Settings`, as a sister to `view`.
Here's an example of an automation spec that manipulates material
parameters:
[{
"name": "metallic_vs_roughness",
"permute": {
"material.scalar.roughnessFactor": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
"material.scalar.metallicFactor": [0.0, 1.0]
}
}]
Currently this is limited to float, vec3, and vec4 parameters.
This adds `AutomationEngine` to libs/viewer, which iterates through
`Settings` instances that were generated from a JSON spec and applies
them to a Filament `View`. It can be configured to sleep between tests
using a time delay or a frame count.
This also adds command line arguments and user-interface elements to
`gltf_viewer` for automated testing.
This lets us generate long lists of settings permutations by writing a
simple JSON spec. For example, the following spec would generate six
`Settings` objects, all of which have SSAO enabled. See the unit test
for a larger example.
```
{
"name": "viewopts",
"base": { "view.ssao.enabled": true }
"permute": {
"view.dithering": ["NONE", "TEMPORAL"],
"view.sampleCount": [1, 4, 8]
}
}
```
