Add Renderer::skipFrame() which should be called when intentionally
skipping frames, for instance because the screen content hasn't changed,
allowing Filament to performance needed periodic tasks, such as
cache garbage collection and callback dispatches.
We also improve the ResourceAllocator cache eviction policy:
- the cache is aggressively purged when skipping a frame
- we aggressively evict entries older than 3 frames
The default Config is now set to a more agressive setting.
The ResourceAllocator used to be global and owned by the Engine, this
was causing some issues when using several Renderers because each
one could cause the eviction of cache data for another.
We now have a ResourceAllocator per Renderer, which makes more sense
because most resources are allocated by the FrameGraph.
We also introduce a ResourceAllocatorDisposer class, which is used
for checking in and out a texture from the cache, and destroy the
texture when it's checked-out. That objet is still global.
- remove deprecated morphing APIs
- repair gltfio, samples and tests
The new API doesn't allow a MorphTargetBuffer per RenderPrimitive,
instead the MorphTargetBuffer is specified per Renderable.
gltfio separates RenderPrimitives from Renderables, in particular all
RenderPrimitives are created before their Renderable; this was
problematic for this change because all primitives must share
a single MorphTargetBuffer living in the Renderable.
To fix this, we're no longer initializing the morphing paramters
at RenderPrimitive creation, instead we store a reference to the
BufferSlot in the Primtive structure, so that later, when the Renderable
is created we can finally retrieve the BufferSlot and initialize its
morphing paramters, which are not available. The "morphing parameters"
are now expanded to contain the MorphTargetBuffer as before (except now
it's always the same for all the primitives of a Rendrable), as well
as the offset within the buffer and the vertex count.
The number of SH bands used for the indirect light irradiance
computations can be set to 1, 2 or 3 (default) in Material::Builder.
For e.g. in lower-end devices w/ non HDR content, it might be
beneficial to set this value to 2.
BUGS=[341971013]
The current API allowed to have a buffer for each primitive in a
renderable. We instead restrict the API so that there is a single
MorphTargetBuffer for the whole renderable, shared by all primitives.
The buffer can be shared thanks to the "offset" parameter on
setMorphTargetBufferAt().
Also
- fix FMorphTargetBuffer::updateDataAt()
- add support for the "offset" parameter of setMorphTargetBufferAt()
- Add option to build.sh to build for paritcular stereo
techniques (default to NONE). Only applies to samples.
- Consoldiate viewer checkbox for debugging stereo rendering
- Add DriverConfig flag for stereoscopic type so that it can
be used to determine availability of the feature and
(to be completed) enable corresponding GPU features.

* Add an Engine debug setting to force GLES 2.0
This setting is only meaningful on GLES backends, it's otherwise
ignored. When set to true, the backend will try to force a ES2 context
if supported. If not supported by the platform,
the backend will pretend it's a ES2 context.
This setting is currently only taken into account by the EGL platform.

* gltfio: add Asset/Resource extended implementations
- Add gltfio/src/extended to implement an alternate loader for
primitives. This is largely based on the implementation in
AssetLoader/ResourceLoader
- Able to correctly produce flat shading from gltf that only have
vertex positions and indices.
- This is not hooked into current code and should have no
practical effect on gltfio.
This PR adds a new `pause()` option to the `Engine` `Builder` and a new function
`setPaused()` to the `Engine`. While paused, the rendering thread will pause
indefinitely for commands as if none are available. As soon as the rendering
thread is unpaused, the commands are immediately executed.
- dynamic (default) no restriction apply
- static bounds: bounds and world transform can't be changed
- static: additionaly morphing/skinning and vertex/index buffers are
immutable.
This will allow some optimizations in the future. Currently, we just
store the type but don't do anything with it.
- TangentsJobExtended extracts data from cgltf accessor and
runs geometry::TangentSpaceMesh on the attributes and computes
the tangent space.
- The /extended folder is meant for running this process. Note that
this API might remesh the input and will require corresponding
changes that might break previous assumptions.
- The general flow of the code is modeled after src/TangentsJob.h
- This is not hooked into current code and should have no
practical effect on gltfio.
