Now a boundary and corner patch remains
aligned with its underlying parametric
orientation. This simplifies both the
gathering of patch vertices and downstream
evaluation of patches.
Added a method to Vtr::Level which gathers
the 16 patch points for a B-spline patch
even if the patch has boundary or corner
edges. The undefined patch vertex index
values along boundary and corner edges are
assigned Vtr::INDEX_INVALID.
In order to simplifiy the process of drawing
B-spline patches with boundary or corner
edges, the Far::PatchTablesFactory will
replace any invalid vertex indices with
a known good value, i.e. the index of the
first patch face vertex.
Single-crease patches are still a slightly
special case, which will be resolved later.
- rename "Regular end cap" to "BSplineBasis end cap"
- revert templating and add EndCapType into PatchTablesFactory::Options.
- make EndCapFactories internal in PatchTablesFactory.
- move end cap stencils into PatchTables, keep them relative to the max level.
- add a utility StencilTablesFactory::AppendEndCapStencilTables to splice and factorize endcap stencil tables.
Remove the ptex-specific code from the Far::TopologyRefiner and instead provide it in a separate class Far::PtexIndices. Clients who need to use the Ptex API need to first build a Far::PtexIndices object by providing it with a refiner.
This has the advantage of keeping the API on the TopologyRefiner a little cleaner. The ptex methods were const but were mutating state with const_casts. The new mechanism still achieves the same lazy initialization behavior by forcing clients to instantiate them exactly when needed.
A disadvantage of this approach is that the PatchTablesFactory creates its own PtexIndices and throws it out after the patch tables are created. This is great if you're never going to need the ptex indices again, but not so great if you will need them again.
computes edge lengths using limit surface points. Made this
the default screen-space metric so that we avoid cracks when
using Gregory Basis or Regular B-spline end caps.
The alternative method which computes edge lengths using the
distance between B-spline control points is still available.
Added a diagram and comments to explain how the control
points and limit points are organized.
This change moves all gregory patch generation from Far::PatchTablesFactory
so that we can construct patch tables without stencil tables as well as client
can chose any end patch strategies (we have 3 options for now: legacy 2.x style
gregory patch, gregory basis patch and experimental regular patch approximation).
Also Far::EndCapGregoryBasisPatchFactory provides index mapping from patch index
to vtr face index, which can be used for single gregory patch evaluation on top
of refined points, without involving heavier stencil tables generation.
- modified main LimitMask queries to include subdivision Rule
- split internal mask assignments into corner, crease and smooth cases
- adapted all three schemes to the new structure
- completed limit tangents for Loop
- update TopologyRefiner Limit methods to pass newly required Rule
This is the first step to tease off Osd compute controller/contexts
from Far API.
Currently FarStencilTable only creates a kernelbatch for the entire range,
so we can use [0, numStencils) for all cases instead of KernelBatch.
This might not be true if we apply non-factorized level-wise stencils,
then we'll add another modular utility to serve those cases.
PatchTablesFactory fills 20 indices topology into patchtable, and use it for eval and draw.
note: currently screen-space adaptive tessellation of gregory basis patches is
broken and cracks appear around them.
- new Options for Refine() methods for base face and vertex ordering
- removed ignored/unused "full topology" choice from AdaptiveOptions
- added base face and vertex ordering logic to Refinement
- addition of TopologyRefiner members for component counts and max valence
- refactoring of Level additions to update all new member totals
- addition of GetMaxValence() to TopologyRefiner
- updated PatchTablesFactory to user new GetMaxValence() method
- renaming of "Hole" methods for TopologyRefiner and Vtr::Level
- updated original FVar inspection to deal witn non-manifold vertices
- updated FVar refinement to handle > 2 faces per edge
- couple of fixes to use parent topology when child not present
level before we do any further population from the parent as that may
further modify the child's _maxEdgeFaces. When _maxEdgeFaces is incorrect
we may end up with stack corruption problems when
Far::TopologyRefiner::interpolateChildVertsFromEdges() goes to use this data
to allocate some stack space.
- regular patches now generated for faces with non-manifold vertices
- non-manifold features treated as boundary edges and vertices
- other minor cleanup/improvement in patch identification method
- commented on approx of smooth x-ordinary corner with regular sharp patch
