- move the control code out of FrameInfo and into
View itself. FrameInfo now just gathers information about the
frames instead of also doing part of the control.
- the control code has been refactored into a more formal PIDController.
- a few bugs were fixed in the control loop and default parameters
tuned.
The control loop itself now outputs a relative scale factor instead
of an absolute one. The relative scale factor seems easier to
control and is less jittery, and doesn't have to rely on the "integral"
term of the PID.
It's possible that more tuning is needed, but the scaling is now
more stable.
Statically link SDL2 to make our samples (glTF Viewer, etc.) completely
standalone, and include missing resources (fonts and default environment
map for the IBL).
Now that FSR scaling is cheap enough on mobile, we use it for quality
levels MEDIUM to ULTRA.
MEDIUM and HIGH use the mobile optimized version, which has a slightly
lower quality, ULTRA uses the original version.
Additionally the RCAS sharpening pass can always be disabled by setting
the sharpen value to 0.
Augment the TransformManager so it can maintain the 4th column as
double precision; we accomplish this by storing an extra float3 per matrix.
It's calculated as `doubleTranslation - float3{doubleTranslation}`.
We also add methods to set and get a transform as mat4, internally only
the 4th column is kept as double precision.
Finally when we calculate the worldTransform, we take this extra data into
account, but only for calculating the new 4th column, so the extra work
is small.
- Images with an alpha channel are now properly supported. Blending is implemented directly in the image material by blending against the known opaque background color.
- Non-EXR/HDR images were not applying the proper transfer function and were therefore displayed incorrectly.
Bring color grading back into the Rec.709 color space to match
previous behaviors. This change also implements an exact inverse
tone map function for the "Filmic" operator.
We now have an option for evaluating the bent normals from SSAO.
This is used to improve specular AO.
Currently these bent normals are not used for diffuse lighting because
they're "flat" (face normals), which is too distracting.
The bent normal buffer is stored in the SSAO texture, in a separate
layer. This is the first post processing effect that uses 2D array
in order to limit our sampler usage.
This CL also changes how we handle SPECULAR_AO_BENT_NORMALS when
material bent normals are not available: we're now using the "Cones"
algorithm with the regular normal, instead of Lagarde's approximation.
* WIP New tone mapper API
* Implement tone mapper constructors and destructors
* Add new genertic tone mapper
* Make the generic tone mapper available in our sample UIs
* Fix warnings and crashes
* Fix generic tone mapper and graph mappers in the UI
* Add Java APIs for ToneMapper
* Implement copy/move operators for GenericToneMapper
* Generalize luminance scaling in color grading
Previously the luminance scaling step was tied to a specific tone
mapping operator, called "EVILS" in the API. This was however
somewhat misleading as EVILS really is a color handling system
that's independent of what we call tone mapping.
This change splits the luminance scaling step from the tone mapping
step, allowing the use of luminance scaling (the LICH part of EVILS)
with any tone mapping operator.
As a result, the operator known as EVILS is currently mapped to the
linear operator and renamed to "RESERVED" until it is replaced by
a proper — configurable — operator.
* Update release notes
* Fix web build
Image loading errors are handled more gracefully by showing a
background color.
Added UI to set the background color.
Replaced fragment discards with solid background color.
* Add new sample app: image_viewer
This app shows how to load and visualize images. It's also useful to work
on color grading and other post-processing effects by just loading an HDR
or EXR image as a reference.
This change also adds a new exposure setting to the color grading LUT.
* Fix comments and build
* Fix Metal
* Use high precision for the UV coordinates
* Fix refactoring issue
We make better use of the framegraph, by using a pass per shadowmap,
instead of generating all shadowmaps in a single framegraph pass.
This allows us to use less temporary memory when blurring, but also
simplifies the code.
* New experimental tone mapper
The new tone mapper proposed in this change replaces Uchimura (see
below) and is composed of two distinct algorithms:
- The first is the customizable compression curve from Timothy Lotte
(from GDC 2015). The curve's default parameters were chosen to
match the overall appearance (contrast) of the ACES curves used
as our current default tone mapper. This was done to provide a
good migration path to making this new solution the default in
a future version of Filament.
The compression curve can be customized via its contrast, shoulder,
input middle gray, output middle gray, and maximum "HDR value"
(scene referred).
It is important to note that the compression is only applied to
the luminance of the input scene referred value.
- The second is a novel approach by Troy Sobotka called Exposure
Value Invariant Luminance Scaling (or EVILS). This solution works
on the largest chromatic channel of the input value as opposed
to mapping all RGB channels as we do in our other tone mappers.
The algorithm effectively scales all channel by a ratio that
depends on both the compressed luminance from the first stage
and the luminance of input value normalized by the largest
channel.
This new solution offers important benefits as it manages to
preserve chromaticity for high input values. It is also designed
to provide a desirable rolloff to white on overexposure. This
means that even without gamut mapping, this solution avoids many
hue skews (red to orange, blue to purple, etc.). The results
provided by this solution are much more natural and make using
other color grading tools much easier.
* Use std::pow instead of pow
* Fix Web builds
- move public headers from filament/foo to filament-foo/
to avoid confusion with libfilament's headers
- add support for equirectangular to cubemap conversion
- add support for using an .hdr file directly in all our samples
The focal length slider now works over a remote connection. Also, the
slider for focus distance now controls the value in `ViewerSettings`
(which gets applied to Camera) rather than the value in
`DepthOfFieldOptions` (which is deprecated).
This is a big hackish, but is intended to help us debug scaling issues,
this adds a couple of sliders under [Debug] to control dynamic
scaling manually.
* move the focus distance from DofOptions to Camera
The DofOption parameter is now deprecated, but will still work if the
focus distance is not set on Camera.
* A few new helper APIs on Camera
- getFocalLength() which returns the focal length used internally for
DoF computations.
- computeEffectiveFov() and computeEffectiveFocalLength() which can be
used to better simulate a real camera's FOV changes with the
focus distance.
Modified gltf_viewer so it uses the effective fov/focallendth when
DoF is active.
* simplify setLensProjection
We can call setProjection directly instead of converting to a fov
first, which ends up performing atan(tan(x)).
Also improve parameters names.
Currently the only NONE and MEDIAN are available options, at some
point we may add a "MAX" option which is cheaper.
There is no real practical uses for this option with these only two
choices, other than for debugging.
* Fix blanking windows not being drawn into on macOS
* Refactored to create swap chain info object; added fixes for resizing; added sample.
* CocoaGLSwapChain should inherit from Platform::SwapChain
* Link to SDL directly for multiple_windows example
* SDL apparently redefines main to SDL_main and requires C++ linkage
* Fix main to have SDL-approved signature
we can't use a projection with infinite far as a custom
projection matrix, because this is not suited for culling.
recently a new version of setCustomProjection was added which allows
to specify both the rendering and culling projections.
- Add a "shift" parameter to Camera. This has the effect of translating
the viewport, without changing its size.
This is an effect similar to using a shift lens.
- Camera::setScaling() now takes a double2 instead of double4, this is
because scaling the result of the projection in the Z direction
can lead to very confusing problems -- it will essentially move the
near/far planes, and we don't want to expose that as a public API.
- setCustomProjection() now allows to set a different projection for
rendering and culling (useful for e.g. for using an infinite far
rendering projection matrix).
* Stop using members as globals between methods
* Multi-thread shaders generation with JobSystem
* Pass JobSystem to MaterialBuilder::build()
* Fix MeshAssimp to use the new API
* Allow the Java API to pass a job system via Engine
* Update docs
* Apply suggestions from code review

I tested this by viewing CesiumMan with our `gltf_instances` sample app.
There is now a need for some general refactoring in gltfio. I feel that
the high-level objects have become too tightly coupled to each other.
Fixes#3137.
