- we add an 'intensity' parameter that allows to control the strength
of the AO effect. This is useful for aesthetic reasons.
- the default intensity is now 2x that of before this change, which
makes the intensity parameter match AO papers this implementation
is inspired of.
- bias is now z-dependent, which reduces some self shadowing wrt the
depth.
Previously, Streams had two modes (native and texid), this adds a third
mode called "acquired", which allows for copy-free synchronized external
textures in OpenGL and paves the way for Vulkan.
The native mode is now deprecated but texid mode needs to stay around
until all clients can be upgraded.
In an early prototype, this functionality was added directly into
Texture but required quite a bit of additional state tracking, so the
Stream API seemed like a better fit.
This API is probably not necessary for Metal due to Metal's shared
ownership semantics.
This has been tested with a new Android sample that will be added in a
subsequent PR.
This is useful for unit tests. The content of the swapchain can be
read to main memory with Renderer::readPixels().
This PR doesn't implement this new feature in the following backends and
platforms (TODO):
VulkanDriver.cpp
MetalDriver.mm
PlatformWGL.cpp
PlatformWebGL.cpp
PlatformCocoaTouchGL.mm
This works by aliasing CUSTOM0 - CUSTOM7 to morphing attributes, and by
extending our existing skinning variant.
This PR was tested against some upcoming changes to gltfio.
Issue #1149, #1417
Discussed this feature with Mathias, we decided to create
MaterialInstance Java wrappers on the fly, and create Material Java
wrappers lazily. This is simple and avoids caching the wrapper objects,
which might otherwise lead to complexity and bugs.
Note that gltfio creates material instances behind the scenes, so this
feature is particularly useful for gltfio clients.
Previously we used the <T=float> template instantiation of setParameter
when the client specified FLOAT4. This resulted in the lower layer
adding needless padding, thus causing a buffer overflow.
Moreover the JNI code for this was somewhat cryptic because it casted an
enum value to an int, then added 1 to compute the size. We now use
a switch statement to improve readability.
This issue was discovered (and the fix was verified) with the upcoming
Android port of the bloom demo.
This adds a utility function on IndirectLight populate the reflection
map from an environment at runtime. This performs some processing
similar to cmgen, albeit at a reduced quality.
No need for a proper library, this is just a common location to simplify
JNI bindings in other projects like filamat and gltfio.
There is no need to move the one Java source file (`NioUtils.java`)
since downstream libraries will have a dependency on Filament, and
FindClass should work fine.
"mirror" was misleading, like it would apply a symmetry to the frame.
mirrorFrame() is just a blit from a swapchain to another, so it's a
copy.
The Java language API is kept for compatibility.
This replaces the previous "curvature to roughness" method. Both are related
and rely on the screen space variance of geometric normals but this new
solution offers more control (the screen space variance and the clamping
threshold can be controlled).
* MaterialInstance now has setMaskThreshold for convenience.
* Materials now support dynamic doubleSided property.
This does not change the format of material packages because they
already have both getDoubleSided() and getDoubleSidedSet().
The only way in which this change could impact existing applications is
that materials that explicity set doubleSided to "false" will now
respect the material's culling mode, rather than forcing it to NONE.
Fixes gltf_viewer with littlest_tokyo in ubershader mode.
Fixes#963.
* JNI for dynamic material properties.
* Add underscore prefix to internal material params.
* Remove un-needed mat info field.
- "stable" mode disables all resolution optimizations that can affect
stability of the shadow map (e.g. lispsm, focusing)
- expose near/far hint + stable option to java
In this first step, we just "blindly" move everything under src/driver
to a new library libbackend.a. And all headers are moved under
private/backend.
Note that "driver" is renamed "backend", but namespaces are unchanged for now.
Later we'll have to untangle the actual private headers from public
ones and ideally not have any private headers.
It's now possible to enable/disable tone-mapping, fxaa, msaa and
dynamic resolution independently.
A new set/getToneMapping() method is added to View.
It's still possible to disable *all* these post-processing effects
together using setPostProcessing(). This is currently needed when
rendering a transparent view (such as UI) on top of another view.
This limitation might be addressed in the future.
This fixes#621
The bug was reproduced and the fix was verified by copying the following
code snippet into one of our Android samples:
val norm = floatArrayOf(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)
val tang = floatArrayOf(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f)
val expected = floatArrayOf(0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f)
val resultBuffer = FloatBuffer.allocate(4)
val qtc = VertexBuffer.QuatTangentContext()
qtc.quatCount = 1
qtc.quatType = VertexBuffer.QuatType.FLOAT4
qtc.outBuffer = resultBuffer
qtc.normals = FloatBuffer.wrap(norm)
qtc.tangents = FloatBuffer.wrap(tang)
VertexBuffer.populateTangentQuaternions(qtc)
Log.e("Filament", "${expected[0]} == ${resultBuffer[0]}")
Fixes#695.
Amazingly, the size field in PixelBufferDescriptor was often totally
incorrect for Java-based clients. The reason we did not notice: OpenGL
often consumes a pointer to image data without consuming a byte count
(e.g. glTexImage2D).
OpenGL infers size from dimensions + format, but Vulkan does not. This
caused texture corruption with Vulkan on Android.
This fix follows a pattern used in other places such as
FRenderer::readPixels.
We still do not compile the Vulkan backend for Android by default, this
simply makes it possible to use the samples on Vulkan with a one-line
change, which is useful for testing purposes.
This change also makes it so that the materials used for the samples
include SPIR-V. This makes them fatter but they are merely samples.
I still consider Vulkan on Android to be experimental, there are some
features that need to be implemented.
THIS CHANGE BREAKS MATERIALS.
This adds getUserTime() in shaders/materials, which returns the time
in second since Renderer::resetUserTime() was called.
Two values are provided, the time in second encoded as a float and
the difference between that and the double value, which together allows
to perform high precision time computation when needed.
This change allows longer running animations in materials. Using only
the float value, give millisecond resolution for more than 4h.
* Add View::setFrontFaceWindingInverted() API
This API can be used to flip all meshes in a render pass
inside out. This is useful for mirrored rendering.
This change also disables face culling on the default skybox
renderable. Since it is unlit, there is no downside to this
and the mesh being in the device vertex domain it can never
be backfacing unless front face winding is inverted.
* Track face winding state in Vulkan
View::setRenderQuality gives the ability to control the rendering quality
of a given view. In particular this allows the app to lower the quality
of the HDR color buffer by using R11G11B10F instead of RGB(A)16F.
