Implemented EvalPatchesVarying and EvalPatchesFaceVarying
methods for Osd::*Evaluator classes, i.e. cpu, omp, tbb,
GLXFB, GLSLCompute, OpenCL, and CUDA.
Also, the GPU Kernel implementations have been updated to use
the common patchBasis implementation instead of re-implementing
methods to compute patch basis weights locally.
Add EvalStencils and EvalPatches API for most of CPU and GPU evaluators.
with this change, Eval API in the osd layer consists of following parts:
- Evaluators (Cpu, Omp, Tbb, Cuda, CL, GLXFB, GLCompute, D3D11Compute)
implements EvalStencils and EvalPatches(*). Both supports derivatives
(not fully implemented though)
- Interop vertex buffer classes (optional, same as before)
Note that these classes are not necessary to use Evaluators.
All evaluators have EvalStencils/Patches which take device-specific
buffer objects. For example, GLXFBEvaluator can take GLuint directly
for both stencil tables and input primvars. Although using these
interop classes makes it easy to integrate osd into relatively
simple applications.
- device-dependent StencilTable and PatchTable (optional)
These are also optional, but can be used simply a substitute of
Far::StencilTable and Far::PatchTable for osd evaluators.
- PatchArray, PatchCoord, PatchParam
They are tiny structs used for GPU based patch evaluation.
(*) TODO and known issues:
- CLEvaluator and D3D11Evaluator's EvalPatches() have not been implemented.
- GPU Gregory patch evaluation has not been implemented in EvalPatches().
- CudaEvaluator::EvalPatches() is very unstable.
- All patch evaluation kernels have not been well optimized.
- Currently GLXFB kernel doesn't support derivative evaluation.
There's a technical difficulty for the multi-stream output.
In osd layer, we use GLPatchTable (D3D11PatchTable) as a
device-specific representation of FarPatchTables instead of
DrawContext. GLPatchTable may be used not only for drawing
but also for GPU eval APIs (not yet supported though.
We may add CudaPatchTable etc as needed).
The legacy gregory patch drawing buffers are carved out to
the separate class, named GLLegacyGregoryPatchTable.
Also face-varying data are split into client side for now, until
we add new and more robust face-varying drawing structure
(scheduled at 3.1 release)
Tentatively replicate PatchArray structure in GLPatchTables. It will
be revised in the upcoming change.
Shifting hard-coded SRV locations of legacy gregory buffers in HLSL shaders.
