Shader model (desktop or mobile) wasn't really accounted for
in the UI. This means that we will get shaders that look like
duplicates (same variant). In this work, we pass the current
shader model from engine into the frontend and filter out
variants of a different shader model.
Moreover, for matinfo, we use a specific dbg shader model (matinfo)
to indicate it is in that mode. We add UI in matinfo to show the
shadermodel.
So UI updates as well.
- reduce the number of calls to notify_one() and notify_all().
notify_one() is not only called when running a new job, and
notify_all() only when a job finishes.
- don't hold the condition lock while calling notify_*(), as it is not
strictly needed, and because notify_*() can be very slow, there can
be a lot of contention on this lock as a result; blocking the whole
jobsystem thread pool.
- add a new version of run() that takes an opaque thread id that can
be retrieved from a job's execute function; this is especially
intended to be used by parallel_for(); it's just a more efficient
version of run() that avoids a hashmap lookup.
Overall these change yield a significant performance boost:
- running + waiting a job: +200%
- running many jobs: +150%
- running many jobs in parallel: +50%
This change introduces a new chunk type to material files for precompiled Metal libraries. Previously, SPIR-V was the only binary type, so there's also a couple of refactor commits present here. Nothing is changed in Filament or matc yet.
BUGS=[333547148]
* Add new parameter -P for matc
This new matc parameter `-P` or `--material-parameter` allows users to
set material properties to the specified value.
Values passed through this matc parameters have the highest priorities.
I.e., they overwrite material properties specified in the material file.
* Add a new material param, stereoscopicType
This new parameter allows us to specify which implementation of
stereoscopic rendering Filament uses for the material.
This change just includes material parameter addition and shader code
changes, so it doesn't affect the current rendering behavior.
These changes will follow as separate commits.
- render pipeline changes
- material parameter override via matc parameter
- material document update
When parsing a lexeme, we use one less byte than it's intended to be for
comparing the current string.
This results in a success in cases like:
- true and truX
- false and falsX
- null and nulX
where X means an arbitrary character.
Fix this by the full intended length.
This change in glslang removes the include of "intermediate.h" from
GlslangToSpv.h:
62de186c33
As a result, the definition of "class TIntermediate" is removed, and
will fail compilation of MaterialCompiler.cpp when glslang is updated to
a version including the aforementioned change. We fix this by adding an
explicit include to this header in MaterialCompiler.cpp.

The latest macOS toolchain triggers warnings for duplicate libraries at
link time. This is caused by our dependency chains.
Also remove an inlining warning in Kotlin and unnecessary warnings in
build.sh when doing a clean or generating web docs.
This is admittedly a very nitpicky change.
For most of the changes, I went through the various Markdown files and added
language names to the source blocks for better syntax highlighting on GitHub. It
also makes it easier to copy and paste commands without copying the leading `$`.
I avoided changing anything in `third_party`.
Additionally, I added some instructions for compiling the Android samples on the
command line and fixed some typos.
the math needs to be maintained in highp, including during the blur
pass.
we add the ability to specify a "precision" qualifier to the "output"
of a post-process material.
we also remove the mediump clamping we used to do on mobile, it shouldn't
be done automatically behind the scenes, it's up to the shaders to do
it if it makes sense.
- Passing filename.bin to --sh-output generates a file containing the SH
as binary floats in native endianness (LE on x86 and arm64)
- Fix --sh-output so it works properly with -x
- Cleanup variable names to avoid shadowing
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.
- refactor the code so that all defines are generated in the same place
- generate common_type after all defines are generated
- protect (with defines) structures and UBOs that are not needed, based
on the variant
The feature-level option sets the maximum feature level allowed for
the material. matc will fail if the specified material has a higher
feature level than the value set with the feature-level option. The
default is 3 (max).
This can be used to ensure that materials don't use features above
a specified level.
- FogOption::color is now correctly multiplied by the exposure and
environment intensity.
- New option to exclude the skybox from the fog
- better documentation and naming
* 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
* 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
