This is a gltfio API change (!)
Jave clients now need to call destroy on MaterialProvider.
Previously, the Java AssetLoader took over ownership of a native
material provider upon construction, but this was neither documented
nor consistent with the C++ layer. (This is historical; in the past we
did not expose MaterialProvider to Java.)
One motivation for this (aside from API consistency) is that users may
wish to preserve the material cache from one run to another.
Fixes#5132.
In the past there was an API gotcha because users had to "get" the
animator before releasing the glTF source data. This could have been
surprising because it was a getter method, not a factory method.
This was due to overeager optimization on my part, I wanted to avoid
animator overhead for non-animated models, when in fact it has very
little overhead.
Moreover, the animator is conceivably useful even when there are no
pre-supplied animations (e.g. for applying skins), so let's just create
it unconditionally.
Motivated by #5299.
Dragging a zip file into the Remote Viewer page would fail if it
contained a glTF with `./` prefixes in the `images` section. The best
fix is to use Java's proper URI object rather than trying to parse the
string.
We can now specify an "instance count" per renderable during creation.
This instance count applies to all render primitives in the
Renderable.
This will simply draw the renderable "instance count" times. A new
method available to vertex shaders, getInstanceIndex(), allows the
material to discriminate the instances and adjust the position/transform
accordingly.
Typically this is used for particle systems.
This works by first generating a reflection buffer which gets blurred,
then the color pass samples from this buffer according to the roughness
of the surface being rendered.
A lot of the changes here involve utilizing "reserved" variants for
the new "SSR" pass and all the fallout from that.
Support legacy morphing (morphing with targets supplied via VertexAttributes) for older clients. This gives clients more time to transition over to the new MorphTargetBuffer API.
* Get the morph target count from the renderable
* Set the morph target count by Builder
* Update morph target weights partially
* Remove noexcept at functions could throw exceptions
* Update Java bindings at RenderableManager
* Add missing comments
* Update morph target weights from offset

* Replace generic tonemap curve with a simpler one
This change removes the shoulder parameter which had inconsistent
behaviors. The new curve is simpler and designed to still match
by default the gray point and the contrast of ACES in a bright
surround.
* Fix build
