This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
It became rather annoying to have those functions duplicated.
Surely, it's not really nice it's actually a bad level call,
but similar thing is happening in OCIO and Cycles.
IMO, it's better than having functions re-implemented, and
have this solved with new OpenGL pipeline.
A bit work in progress, currently the following limitations:
- Texture shading only, Material shading will come later
- No UVs subdivision yet
- Always uses active UV and currently changing active UV will
not properly update the viewport.
Well, need to start somewhere :)
This probably makes code somewhat slower, but we can't easily know
whether we can use a shortcut and only use directional lighting from
the scene.
Need some better integration between GPU and OpenSubdiv for that.
Use new GPU_legacy_support() function.
Determine GLSL version once instead of per shader.
For Texture Buffers, allow ARB or EXT version of the extension. Either
one will do.
GLSL 130, 140, 150 with extensions as needed.
Similar logic to my recent gpu_extensions changes.
Partially fixes T46706. Matcaps now work with OpenSubdiv, as do basic
materials. Anything with UV coordinates is still broken.
Uniform block data layout was different on CPU and GPU which caused wrong
data being used from shader.
In theory using layout(std140) is what we need to do, but for some reason
such layout specifier is being ignored. This is probably caused by the way
how we exploit extensions from older version of glsl.
For until we've upgraded our glsl pipeline used different approach which
is basically about removing unused fields form the struct manual in hope
that it'll keep memory layout consistent for both CPU and GPU.
This seems to work so far for both NVidia GTX580 and AMD FirePro W8000
here in the studio.
It's hopefully no longer needed, at least not needed for as long as
single ptex face corresponds to a single patch which should be always
correct for uniform subdivisions as far as i know.
Implementation is less optimal compared to non-opensubdiv drawing but
it is now as good as we can do it without affecting on how patches are
being created by OpenSubdiv.
The idea is to cut as much code as possible and use compile-time
ifdefs rather than runtime if() statements.
Gives about 2x speedup on catmark_car model from OpenSubdiv repository
making our FPS much closer to what glViewer is capable of.
This commit contains all the remained parts needed for initial integration of
OpenSubdiv into Blender's subdivision surface code. Includes both GPU and CPU
backends which works in the following way:
- When SubSurf modifier is the last in the modifiers stack then GPU pipeline
of OpenSubdiv is used, making viewport performance as fast as possible.
This also requires graphscard with GLSL 1.5 support. If this requirement is
not met, then no GPU pipeline is used at all.
- If SubSurf is not a last modifier or if DerivesMesh is being evaluated for
rendering then CPU limit evaluation API from OpenSubdiv is used. This only
replaces the legacy evaluation code from CCGSubSurf_legacy, but keeps CCG
structures exactly the same as they used to be for ages now.
This integration is fully covered with ifdef and not enabled by default
because there are several TODOs to be solved first:
- Face varying data interpolation is not really cleanly implemented for GPU
in OpenSubdiv 3.0. It is also not implemented for limit evaluation API.
This basically means we'll have really hard time supporting UVs.
- Limit evaluation only works with adaptivly subdivided meshes so far, which
basically means all the points of CCG are pushed to the limit. This gives
different result from old code.
- There are some serious optimizations possible on the topology refiner
creation, which would speed up initial OpenSubdiv mesh creation.
- There are some hardcoded asumptions in the GPU and DerivedMesh areas which
could be generalized.
That's something where Antony and Campbell can help, making it so the code
is structured in a way which is reusable by all planned viewport projects.
- There are also some workarounds in the dependency graph to make sure OpenGL
buffers are only freed from the main thread.
Those who'll be wanting to make experiments with this code should grab dev
branch (NOT master) from
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenSubdiv/tree/dev
There are some patches applied in there which we're working on on getting
into upstream.
This includes C-API bindings in intern/opensubdiv and CMAke module
which finds the OpenSubdiv library. This filea are not in use so
far, making it a separate commit to make actual integration commit
more clear.
