The previous change to the gathering of patch points went
a bit too far. Near non-manifold features it is important
to be careful when traversing the faces in a level to avoid
assumptions that are valid only for manifold topology.
Also, removed Vtr::Level::gatherQuadRegularPatchPoints().
This method was added in my previous change, but it is
unsafe to use in the presence of non-manifold topology.
Removed OpenCL/D3D11 specialization and add DEVICE_CONTEXT as a template
parameter. For the kernels which don't need a context object (e.g.
CPU, OpenGL, cuda) just ignore the context, and for the kernels which
use a context (e.g. OpenCL, DirectX) takes a context or a user-defined
class as which encapsulates device contexts. Note that OpenCL requires
two objects, cl_context and cl_command_queue. The user-defined
class must provide GetContext() and GetCommandQueue() for strongly typed
binding to osd VertexBuffers and ComputeContexts.
Osd::Mesh and MeshInterface have been used as a handy harness to host
multiple GPU kernels and graphics APIs. However it has CL/DirectX
specializations and duplicates large amount of plubming code. With this
change, glMesh.h and d3d11Mesh.h become just typedefs and all logic is
put into mesh.h without specializations.
Also cleaned up unused header files and code formatting.
- Upped minimum required version of docutils from 0.6 to 0.9.
- Fixed link to pygments in build documentation
- Fixed link to doxygen in build documentation
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.
Previously, FindGLFW would search for both GL/glfw.h and GLFW/glfw3.h, which
does not work when a system has both GLFW 2.0 and 3.0 installed.
The fix still probes for both files, but does so in two passes, preferring
glfw3.h.
