Material constants (a.k.a: specialization constants) can only be set
during Material creation through Material::Builder.
This change somewhat relaxes that limitation by allowing constants to
be set at runtime on Material directly.
Currently this new API is still private and only supported on FMaterial.
This feature works by invalidating the HwProgram cache of the concerned
Material, causing a shader recompile per variant; so this API is costly
and should be used only for debugging or during app/game configuration.
The TAA material is modified to use constants instead of #defines for
various settings and those are exposed in TaaOptions as well is in
ViewerGui. So with this change all aspects of the TAA material can
be changed at runtime.
Fix edge case where an empty struct could be generated in an ESSL 1.0 shader.
Include _maskThreshold and _doubleSided in ESSL 1.0 shaders.
Add GL_OES_standard_derivatives extension to ESSL 1.0 shaders. According to
gpuinfo.org, this has 96% device coverage and supports both Mali-400 and Adreno
(TM) 304.
Remove 3D sampler support from ESSL 1.0 shaders. This extension is only
supported by 62% of devices.
Change filagui material to a FL0 material.
* debugging PCF mode
This mode always uses a hard PCF and takes a
slightly slower code path.
* dynamic shadowmap visualization
The directional shadowmap visualizer is implemented behind a
specialization constant. Add the DebugRegistry infrastructure to be
able to update the spec-constant at runtime and have a subset of
all materials invalidated.
This allows to toggle the visualization at runtime using a debug
property.
This is also a proof of concept that we can update spec-constants
at runtime; we could probably leverage this work for engine-wide
shader configurations.
* Update main.fs
* Update filament/src/details/Material.cpp

Instead of a hard cutoff, we fade shadows out at
the shadowFar distance if active, fading occurs
over about 10% of the shadowFar distance.
- this works only for the directional shadow
(other lights don't use shadowFar).
Previously, when a material was expilicitly built for feature level 0, it was
necessary to write ESSL 1.0 code which was incompatible with the OpenGL feature
level 1 implementation in Filament. Rather than adjust the Filament
implementation so that feature level 1 uses the same workarounds as feature
level 0 to emulate GLES 3.0+ features, it's more runtime-efficient to have matc
embed ESSL 1.0 and 3.0 shaders as separate chunks and load the corresponding
one based on the active feature level.
Feature level 0 material shaders must still be written in what is effectively
ESSL 1.0. To assist with this, a small set of compatibility definitions are
introduced when building the ESSL 3.0 variant. These are virtually all
textureXXX() functions, and end up either optimized out or inlined by glslang.
One final effect of this change is that external and 3D samplers are now
properly supported in feature level 0 materials.
* Add skinning and morphing samples to check functionality
* Implement skinning for more than four bones pair vertex
The API allows defining an unlimited number of bone indices and weights of primitives. Data is defined in building process of the renderable manager. Backward compatibility with the original solution.
Skinning of vertices is calculated on GPU, data is transferred to the vertex shader in the texture.
It supports KHR_parallel_shader_compile as well as a
thread pool of GL contexts.
- we have a new 2-priorities queue for shader compilation
- use this feature in gltfio in the ubershader case
* froxelizer doesn't use textures anymore
All data is stored in UBOs.
Additionally, the buffer size is no longer hardcoded at compile time.
This CL cuts in half the numbers of froxels to accommodate devices
limited to 16KiB,
* Use a specialization constant to adjust the size of froxel UBO
This really only affects OpenGL in practice because metal supports 256MB
minimum and only 3% of android devices support less than 32K, which is
what we need.
This works by making the fog an entity which can be used to create
a TransformManager component an participate to the transform hierarchy.
This feature can be used as more advanced way to set the fog's floor,
which now can have an orientation (essentially be a plane).
This is useful for coordinate systems that are not y-up.
Material::compile() can be used to asynchronously ask the backend to
compile a subset of the variants of a Material and be notified when
done. This can be used during initialization to avoid hiccups later.
This will also force caching of those material programs if the
Platform provides the blob cache API.
This is only the first step where we:
- clean-up some code to prepare for 2nd step
- add support for the linear->srgb in the shaders
The linear->srgb conversion is protected by a
specification constant and will be enabled only
if the corresponding EGL extension in not present.
Then, if enabled, the actual conversion is
controlled by a uniform so that it can be
selectively enabled on swapchains that have it
turned on.
In this change, the emulation logic that sets
these gates is not implemented (that's step 2).
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.
A material global is a variable seen by all materials. There are 4 such
variable which are all vec4 and they can be set on a per-view basis.
All materials used during Renderer::render() will see the same value.
These variable can be accessed in the materials by using
getMaterialGloabal{0|1|2|3}.
- 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 VSM variant is never needed for unlit materials, it was filtered
out correctly for color shaders but not for the depth shaders.
This removes 4 variants from all unlit materials.
Also improve matinfo variants output.
- 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 way to retrieve the user world-space in materials
added `getUserWorldFromWorldMatrix()` and `getUserWorldPosition()` to
retrieve the API-level (user) world position in materials.
Deprecated `getWorldOffset()`
`getWorldOffset` didn't work when an IBL rotation was applied.
* fix large scenes with an ibl rotation
Rotate the IBL around the camera instead of the world so that the camera
is always at the origin regardless of the rotation.
* 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
The fog calculation could fail when the falloff was strong and the
camera z position was far from the fog height. The problem was
that the computation was spread between the cpu and gpu by splitting
an exp(), but with certain parameters the two exp() would independently
blow-up. We fix this by doing the exp() only on the gpu side.
- StructureOfArray: don't initialize trivial ctors
We mimic the behavior of std::vector<> here, where a resize() won't
initialize the array if the type is trivially_default_constructible.
This can reveal existing bugs, where we depended on the initialization
to 0.
- StructureOfArray: add push_back(std::tuple<>)
This basically allows us to push_back() a struct of the SoA.
- Make PerRenderableData trivially constructible
this improves performance when we have tons of objects in the scene
because PerRenderableData is used in arrays.
