- cmake should now be better at finding Maya installations on OSX automatically
- various dependency fixes for Maya plugins
- first pass at some code fixes to build Maya plugins on OSX
this not the final word on this : just like glutViewer, we will need a "_compat" version of these plugins
fixes#95
- still need to change these changes with other compilers (MSVC / clang...)
- had to add a -Wno-invalid-offsetof for GCC (still need to test w/ other compilers) : apparently gcc 4.4 is somewhat incorrect in tagging our templated class as POD.
- had to change fvarData.h to initialize bitfields to 0 as gcc generates truncated int warnings when trying to initialize 31 bits to -1
- in mesh.h replaced original tbb::concurrent_vector with std::vector until a better solution can be found
Fixes#93
This avoids adaptive tessellation artifacts near silhouette edges
by using the projected diameter of an edge's bounding sphere
rather than the length of the projected edge itself.
There is a nice writeup of this by Bryan Dudash of NVIDIA at:
https://developer.nvidia.com/content/dynamic-hardware-tessellation-basics
- [Feature Adaptive GPU Rendering of Catmull-Clark Surfaces](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/cloop/tog2012.pdf).
- New API architecture : we are planning to lock on to this new framework as the basis for backward compatibility, which we will enforce from Release 1.0 onward. Subsequent releases of OpenSubdiv should not break client code.
- DirectX 11 support
- and much more...
There seems to be a bug in clang: despite the fact that FarMeshFactory is
declared to be a friend class from FarSubdivisionTables, clang protests that
VertexKernelBatch is not accessable.
This hack adds an #ifdef __clang__ block to make that structure public and keep
Far compiling under OSX.
- All data representation classes are now single-templated for a vertex class 'U'
- All constructors / instancing code has been moved into "Factory" functions that are dual-templated
for two vertex classes <class T, class U=T>. This allows hbr specialization with a placeholder
vertex flass 'T' for faster analysis without paying interpolation costs, while far can still specialize
a fully implemented vertex class 'U' with full subdivision functionality.
- Some preliminary clean-up work on FarVertexEditTables with the addition of a FarVertexEdit class
as a replacement for the former HbrVertedEdit which was introducing back dependencies on hbr. The
implementation is very lightweight. Some slight renaming / cleanup of the code, with some more to
be done.
- there are no more dependencies on hbr (not even #include) from far's data structure !
Notes :
- the FarDispatcher mechanism has become somewhat awkward and should be re-evaluated when refactoring osd.
- the "Factory" pattern survives this round of refactoring until we can find something better.
Closes#34
