This is because most android devices only support 16 texture in the
shaders (94.4%), so we can't realistically have feature level 2 demand
that.
Instead feature level 2 enables compute/ES3.1 features.
This is a feature request from Google. It allows users to "preload" an
asset, ie you can now create all VertexBuffer objects, Texture objects,
etc, without actually creating any entities or renderable components.
In the past we used TransformManager to help out with computing the big
asset-level bounding box, but now we use `gltf_node_transform_world()`
because entities might not yet exist.
One minor side effect is that `FilamentAsset::getBoundingBox()` now
returns the AABB that was determined at load time, and does not account
for instances. As a result, our `gltf_instances` sample app looks
slightly different but this is expected.
In VulkanPipelineCache, `getShaderStageFlags()` and `getUsageFlags()`
are used to track which samplers are used in the VERTEX stage and which
are used in the FRAGMENT stage. The recent change I made was incorrect
because it did not account for samplers that are used in BOTH stages.
This fixes the recent regression where we see validation errors when
running `gltf_viewer` in ubershader mode.
Some (poorly authored) glTF assets have several `image` elements
that all refer to the same URL or buffer view. When this occurs,
we create only 1 Filament Texture.
These assets regressed after PR 6051, which consolidated the texture
related fields in `FilamentAsset`, but did not include an ownership flag
in the new `TextureInfo` struct.
- fix View::setVisibleLayers to match code. By default only layer 0
is active, despite the documentation stating otherwise.
- add a helper to enable/disable layers more easily
- don't use layer 0,1,2 for the overdraw function as they were used by
FilamentApp in "multi view" mode.
- improve scissor documentation, specify coordinate system and
clipping behavior
- scissor now takes the guard bands into account
- on the backend side the scissor is no longer clipped to the viewport
- clipping to the viewport is now done on the filament side
- don't set scissor when material instance doesn't specify one
(common case)
AssetLoader now loads assets in two passes:
- Pass 1 creates VertexBuffer objects, MorphTargetBuffer objects, etc.
- Pass 2 creates entities, renderables, etc (only if numInstances > 0)
This feature will help us integrate gltfio with an internal library at
Google.
The asset previously had three confusing fields related to textures:
mTextures, mTextureSlots, and mTextureBindings.
These are now consolidated into a single field, which simply has one top
level array item per `cgltf_texture`.
The memory footprint is smaller because we no longer bother to store
`TextureSampler` objects, instead we simply defer their construction
until calling setParameter.
Last but not least, we now assert in debug builds if the usages of a
particular texture have inconsistent sRGB flags. In the past,
inconsistent sRGB would be silently ignored.
In other words, we will now assert if you try to use the same texture
for `baseColor` and `normalMap`, whereas in the past we would simply
exhibit non-deterministic behavior in this situation (with respect to
sRGB semantics).
gltfio can now ask the material provider plugin which `Material` would
be used for a given set of requirements. Prior to this change, gltfio
could only create a new `MaterialInstance`.
This method is necessary to support an upcoming gltfio feature.
This broke asyncGetLoadProgress() and caused WebGL to crash reliably
because ResourceLoader got destroyed too soon.
Bug was introduced with de7dfc2ea6.
I intend to cherry pick this to rc/1.27.0, which is where it was
introduced, so there's no need to update the release notes.
* check that user materials don't exceed their allowed features
* backend sampler limits now take feature level into account
- in the backend, the constants are now in an array indexed by the
feature level
- samplerBindingMap now asserts only what it can.
- matc (filamat) now logs the user samplers when an error is detected.
* Add JNI for TransformManager.getChildCount(), TransformManager.getChildren() and scene.hasEntity()
* Update RELEASE_NOTES.md
* Fixes
* Change getChildren to take a nullable array
* Remove no params TransformManager.getChildren()
* Update RELEASE_NOTES.md

One of the bloom texture ended-up dangling in the material's
SamplerGroup. That sampler group was never used to draw with, but was
made active which caused problem with the backends.
Also make sure the public API can unset a texture in a MaterialInstance
by passing nullptr for the texture.
For each "cgltf_material", we now create one "MaterialInstance", even
if a given asset has multiple instances. In the future, we might make
this behavior configurable to make better use of Filament's
auto-instancing feature.
This change is a feature request from Google, but also this behavior is
more consistent with the code comments.
Also some related cleanup:
(1) Use FixedCapacityVector instead of robin_map.
(2) Move the cache to move out of the asset and into the loader,
because it is only used at load time.
in a few places filamat loses the value of targetApi and targetLanguage
and attempt to guess it from other values, this lead to inconsistencies.
we now keep both targetApi and targetLanguage and use them appropriately.
in particular we don't use the optimization level to "guess" what
targetLangage we're on.
In the end this resolve a prior unit test failure and allows us to not
have to use "spirv" rules when generating only GLSL.
