Emissive was previously defined in exposure compensation stops, which
was confusing to many. It is now a value in nits, with the alpha
channel controlling how much the camera exposure affects the emissive.
At 0, the emissive value is just added to the final pixel color, at
1 the emissive value is multiplied by the exposure just like with
regular lights.
The intensity of the emissive property can be computed from an
exposure value (EV) easily with the following formula:
emissive.rgb = emissive.rgb * pow(2.0, EV - 3.0);
This formula is available as Exposure::luminance(float) already
in Filament.
the problem was that the actual viewport's origin can be different
from the viewport set by the user, for instance when the view is
rendered in an intermediate buffer.
The user can now choose amongst 3 specular AO methods:
- None, specAO is off
- Simple, specAO is inferred from roughness and diffuse AO
- Bent normals, specAO is computed accurately from cone intersections
The last method is more expensive but produces the best results.
This change also fixes a few issues:
- Rename materialRefraction() and materialRefractionType() for
consistency
- Fixes user time in shaders
* Add support for bent normals
Bent normals can be enabled via the bentNormal property of a material.
When specular occlusion is enabled, bent normals improve the quality
of the computation.
* Save a couple of multiplications in bent specular AO
This needs a bit more testing before merging, but I wanted to put up the
PR for review. I will look into supporting Android after we land this.
Fixes#1932.
* Add support for screen-space contact shadows
This CL adds support and always enables it.
toggles and setting in the next CL (same PR).
* Plumb settings for screen-space contact shadows
screen-space contact shadows is handled like a shadow option,
parameters (including on/off) are set in the LightManager, using
the existing ShadowOptions API.
Additionally there is a per-renderable toggle.
Both toggles are off by default.
* Allow contact shadows when shadowing is auto-disabled
Shadowing can be auto-disabled when for instance there are no
shadow casters in the scene. We still allow contact shadows in
that case.
This would allow for instance, to make the vegetation on a terrain
not shadow-casting, and still get some shadowing there by using
contact shadows instead.
* apply micro-shadowing after contact shadows
also, don't compute contact shadows when we know we're fully shadowed.
After the native async functionality landed, there was no way for web
clients to be notified that the decoding has finished. This PR changes
the existing `onDone` callback so that it gets called after all textures
have been decoded. (Previously it was called after downloading rather
than decoding.)
This has the side effect of simplifying the API because clients no
longer need to call a finalize function.
Note that libgeometry is already included in `filament-android`, this
simply exposes more of its existing functionality.
The Java version of SurfaceOrientation is similar to the JavaScript
version because we are bundling it into the main Filament package, even
though it is a separate library in C++. This is much simpler than
creating a brand new Java package.
New Android sample that tests this is forthcoming.
Fixes#1729.
Fulfills a request from tirichards@.
This is similar in some ways to dynamic backface culling but simpler
because there is no interaction with double-sided lighting.
For reference, dynamic backface culling was implemented with #1936, #1877, #1641.
This "fixes" the new animated Fox model in the glTF conformance suite.
As per the glTF spec, we now generate per-face normals for the case
where normals are not specified in the model.
Note that true flat shading (i.e. flat interpolation) is not a
requirement in the glTF spec, since some Khronos members advocate for
WebGL 1.0 compatibility.
Fixes#2088.
We were already using jobs for decoding PNG and JPEG files, but we were
doing a join. This add three methods to ResourceLoader that allow
clients to amortize the decoding process across multiple frames, even on
single-threaded platforms like WebGL.
This PR adds async loading to the following demos:
- samples/gltf_viewer (now shows a progress bar in the UI)
- android/sample-gltf-viewer
- web/samples/helmet.html
Fixes#1876.
With this PR screen-space refraction is functional.
Caveats:
The blur passes for supporting rough refractive materials is quite
heavy and increases with the resolution.
SSR uses a gaussian approximation for the brdf and therefore doesn’t
match perfectly cubemap-based refraction and IBL.
The use of MSAA with screen-space effects, while working, is going
to incur a large cost, especially on tilers.
In my first attempt I kept the multiple project-level dependencies in
each sample's `build.gradle` but that resulted in a gradle error
concerning multiple copies of the same SO file. To work around this
we now append to "srcDirs" to bring in Java dependencies rather than
using project-level dependencies.
The new APK contents are now much more reasonably sized:
libfilament-jni.so 981 KB
libgltfio-jni.so 817 KB
libfilament-utils-jni.so 96 KB
Previously this was:
libfilament-utils-jni.so 1.8 MB
libgltfio-jni.so 1.8 MB (unused)
libfilament-jni.so 1 MB (unused)
Fixes#2070
With KTX, we should simply create the specified output folder and put
the KTX file(s) in there. There is no need to create a subfolder of the
output folder.
This change also allows users to pick a custom name for their KTX file,
because we only use the "deployment" name when generating filenames.
If spherical harmonics are not specified in IndirectLight (i.e.
omitted entirely), we instead use the roughness==1 LOD in the shader.
This produce much better results with absolute HDR environment, and
generally works better more often.
This is now the preferred solution.
For cases where spherical harmonicas are better or preferred, they
can simply be supplied as before.
