note : this is not using traditional bit-fields as we cannot guarantee that the CPU-side
compiler will match the bit-packing of the compilers used on the GPU-side.
- replace ptex indexing with the FarPtexCoord structure as a way to pass per-patch
ptex data to the shaders.
We are replacing a vector<int> arranged as :
int[0] : ptex face index
int[1] : (u,v) as 16 bits encoding the log2 coordinate of the top left corner
Instead we are now using a struct arranged as :
int[0] : ptex face index
int[1] : is a bit-field containing u,v, rotation, depth and non-quad
The u,v coordinates have been reduced to 10 bits instead of 16, which still
gives us a lot of margin.
- Replace OsdVertexBufferDescriptor with something more adequate for general
primvar representation (this name will probably eventually change...)
- Improve OsdPatchDescriptor
- add a "loop" boolean (true if the patch is of loop type)
- add a GetPatchSize() accessor
- OsdPatchArray :
- remove some redundant elements (still more to do there)
- Fix all shader / examples / regressions & stuff to make this all work.
fixes#143
2 client APIs are changed.
- VertexBuffer::UpdateData() takes start vertex offset
- ComputeController::Refine() takes FarKernelBatchVector
Also, ComputeContext no longer holds farmesh.
Client can free farmesh after OsdComputeContext is created.
(but still need FarKernelBatchVector to apply subdivision kernels)
- add tag parsing for h-hole in shape_utils
- re-create Renderman's test shape from the documentation (catmark_square_hedit.h)
- fix Hbr to correctly pass the hole tag from parent to child face
- fix FarSubdivisionTables to handle disconnected face-vertices without crashing
fixes#75
while retaining a necessary 1-ring on the inside of a hole edge
- add IsInsideHole() function to HbrHalfEdge
- add HasChild() function to HbrVertex and HbrHalfedge
- add a regression shape with adjacent holes and creases (tests dart, crease & boundaries)
Note : this does not address hierarchical edits inside holes or hole tags in hierarchical edits
fixes#78
Now a ComputeController is passed as an
argument to OsdMesh::Create(). This is
a better match to the underlying object
model and can be much more efficient for
compute controllers that have expensive
resources, e.g. compiled shader kernels.
Fixes#103
- make sure HBR passes down the hole tag to children when subdividing faces
- minor API modification : allow to unset the hole flag on a face
- modify uniform / adaptive FarMeshFactory to be aware of the flag
- make the FarSubdivisionTableFactory assert when finding unconnected HBR vertices (as it should)
* Uniform subdivision :
The refinement scheme only creates faces & vertices necessary
to maintain the one-ring around the edges of a hole, so this solution
is quite efficient.
* Adaptive subdivision :
At the moment we are still performing full topological analysis on holes and
only skipping patches associated to holes. This is sub-optimal in 2 ways :
1. the topological analysis can potentially be cranking on a lot of unnecessary
geometry
2. even though we may not be drawing the patches, the compute stage is still
applying kernels on all the control vertices of these patches.
We will have to revisit feature adaptive subdivision & holes, so keep the issue active.
fixes#78
- add bool OsdGLDrawContext::SupportsAdaptiveTessellation() method
- modify glViewer to use that instead of #ifdefs
Note : this is not the final word on this as OSD really needs a more comprehensive
system to provide run-time information about available features to the client code.
fixes#111
Model the GL VB after D3D11 one, where there are no data read backs, however this means
an extra memory copy of the buffer. 4th level uniform subdiv on Car, glGetBufferSubData
was taking 50% of CPU time before (actual subdiv 22%), now that is gone. Full CPU Draw
62ms -> 54ms, looks like most of overhead now is just waiting on GL queries).
In example code, GLUT has been replaced with GLFW so that glViewer/ptexViewer can run on OSX (10.7 or later).
OSX note: still have some problem with clang, may need to explicitly specify gcc on cmake cmdline
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILE=/usr/bin/g++
fixes#98
- remove the GL error check in cudaGLVertexBuffer :
* unrelated GL errors left on the stack were triggering erroneous
vertexBuffer allocation errors
* we should not be checking for GL errors here anyway (as most other
buffer allocations aren't checked either)
- add some pointer checking in the GL / D3D drawContexts in case the
vertexBuffer pointers passed are NULL
- add some additional typedefs in OsdError to report some of the new
CUDA / GL related errors
