This change updates Far::PatchTable to include support for
evaluating varying and face-varying data on patches.
This adds to existing API and follows the existing patterns
used for vertex patches.
This includes data and methods to evaluate varying and
face-varying basis functions as well as methods to compute
local point values for varying and face-varying primvar data.
This is the foundation for updating Far::PatchTableFactory
to generate bicubic patches for face-varying channels.
This change restores the use of 4-bits in Far::PatchParam to
encode the refinement level of a patch. This restores one bit
that was stolen to allow for more general encoding of boundary
edge and transition edge masks. In order to accommodate all
of the bits that are required, the transition edge mask bits
are now stored along with the faceId bits.
Also, accessors are now exposed directly as members of Far::PatchParam
and the internal bitfield class is no longer directly exposed.
We'll restore this code and finish it up for the next release.
For now, removing this code restores parity with the 3.0 beta,
i.e. face-varying patches are always all bilinear.
There's a lot of good foundational work here to eventually support
smooth interpolation of face-varying patches. Unfortunately, this
is not quite ready to release. Therefore, we've decided to defer this
feature until a later release.
This change hides this code behind the FAR_FVAR_SMOOTH_PATCH macro.
Now the channel specifier is the last parameter in a method's
parameter list with a default of 0. This is consistent with the
topological face-varying queries and also simplifies the common
case of just a single face-varying channel.
To encapsulate endcap functions from public API, add methods to
tell the number of patch points needed (GetNumLocalPoints()) and
to compute those patch points as a result of change of basis from
the refined vertices (ComputeLocalPointValues()).
ComputeLocalPointValues takes contiguous source data of all levels
including level0 control vertices.
