Remove DrawRegistry from osd layer and put a simple shader caching
utility into examples/common. osd layer only provides patch shader
snippet and let client configure and compile the code. Clients also
maintain the lifetime of shader object, which is preferable for the
actual application integration.
update all examples to use the new scheme.
These are now redundant since all bspline patches are encoded in
the patch tables consistently using 16 point indices with boundary
and corner edges indicated in the boundary mask of the patch params.
My earlier change which simplified the categorization of
patch types broke evaluation for boundary and corner patches.
Previously, boundary and corner patches were always rotated
into a canoncial orientation by permuting the point indices
of the patch. This was convenient in some cases, but generally
made things unecessarily complicated, since the parameterization
of the patch had to be counter-rotated to compensate.
Now patches always remain correctly oriented with respect
to the underlying surface topology and evaluation of boundary
and corner patches is accommodated by simply adjusting the
spline weights to account for the missing/invalid patch
points along boundary and corner edges.
There is more to clean up and optimize, but this restores
correct behavior.
Since unified shading work already removed subPatch info from
Osd::PatchDescriptor, the difference between Far::PatchDescriptor and
Osd::PatchDescriptor is just maxValence and numElements. They are used
for legacy gregory patch drawing.
Both maxValence and numElements are actually constant within a topology
(drawContext). This change move maxValence to DrawContext and let client
manage numElements, then we can eliminate Osd::PatchDescriptor and simply
use Far::PatchDescritor instead.
This is still an intermediate step toward further DrawRegistry refactoring.
For the time being, adding EffectDesc struct to include maxValence and
numValence to be maintained by the clients. They will be cleaned up later.
The side benefit of this change is we no longer need to recompile regular b-spline
shaders for the different max-valences.
- added Far::GetGregoryWeights() to work directly with 20 weights
- simplified tensor-product evaluation of Bezier and BSpline (will more
readily support higher order derivatives in near future)
- fixed Bezier derivative scaling issue (off by factor of 3.0)
* noted incorrectness of Gregory derivatives (correction will accompany
support for higher order derivatives in near future)
- Remove MeshPtexData bit from Osd::MeshBits. It's not used any more
- Rename ptexIndexBuffer in D3D11DrawContext to paramParamBuffer
- Remove Is/SetPtexEnabled from D3D11DrawRegistry
In OpenSubdiv 2.x, we encapsulated subdivision tables into
compute context in osd layer since those tables are order-dependent
and have to be applied in a certain manner. In 3.0, we adopted stencil
table based refinement. It's more simple and such an encapsulation is
no longer needed. Also 2.0 API has several ownership issues of GPU
kernel caching, and forces unnecessary instantiation of controllers
even though the cpu kernels typically don't need instances unlike GPU ones.
This change completely revisit osd client facing APIs. All contexts and
controllers were replaced with device-specific tables and evaluators.
While we can still use consistent API across various device backends,
unnecessary complexities have been removed. For example, cpu evaluator
is just a set of static functions and also there's no need to replicate
FarStencilTables to ComputeContext.
Also the new API delegates the ownership of compiled GPU kernels
to clients, for the better management of resources especially in multiple
GPU environment.
In addition to integrating ComputeController and EvalStencilController into
a single function Evaluator::EvalStencils(), EvalLimit API is also added
into Evaluator. This is working but still in progress, and we'll make a followup
change for the complete implementation.
-some naming convention changes:
GLSLTransformFeedback to GLXFBEvaluator
GLSLCompute to GLComputeEvaluator
-move LimitLocation struct into examples/glEvalLimit.
We're still discussing patch evaluation interface. Basically we'd like
to tease all ptex-specific parametrization out of far/osd layer.
TODO:
-implments EvalPatches() in the right way
-derivative evaluation API is still interim.
-VertexBufferDescriptor needs a better API to advance its location
-synchronization mechanism is not ideal (too global).
-OsdMesh class is hacky. need to fix it.
Changing all device kernels to take two buffer identifiers for
source and destination separately.
This change is an intermediate step toward upcoming context/controller
refactoring.
Previously we have a limitation that the source and destination
vertex buffer has to be a single buffer, since the subdivision
kernels are iteratively applied by level.
With stencil tables, we don't have such a limitation any more,
so we may want to apply stencils from seprate source buffer to
another.
To specifiy the output location within the destination buffer,
we can use VertexBufferDescriptor.offset. This allows us not only
configuring arbitrary batching scheme, but also relaxing the
limitation that source and destination buffers are in same
interleaved layout. For examples, we could include derivatives only
in the destination buffer, which doesn't need to be allocated in
the source buffer.
we're teasing out ptex specific data from core osd entities,
so there's no reason to keep ptex texturing utilities in core osd.
move them into example libs and let clients assemble shader snippets
as needed.
Also removing older ptex texturing code (without mipmap)
Each patch has a corresponding patchParam. This is a set of three values
specifying additional information about the patch:
faceId -- topological face identifier (e.g. Ptex FaceId)
bitfield -- refinement-level, non-quad, boundary, transition, uv-offset
sharpness -- crease sharpness for a single-crease patch
These are stored in OsdPatchParamBuffer indexed by the value returned
from OsdGetPatchIndex() which is a function of the current PrimitiveID
along with an optional client provided offset.
Accessors are provided to extract values from a patchParam. These are
all named OsdGetPatch*().
While drawing patches, the patchParam is condensed into a patchCoord which
has four values (u, v, faceLevel, faceId). These patchCoords are treated
as int values during per-prim processing but are converted to float values
during per-vertex processing where the values are interpolated.
Also, cleaned up more of the shader namespace by giving an Osd prefix
to public functions, and consolidated boundary and transition handling
code into the PatchCommon shader files. The functions determining
tessellation levels are now all named OsdGetTessLevel*().

refactor CL/CUDA specific initialization stuffs into
examples/common/clDeviceContext and cudaDeviceContext, and
update examples to use those structs.
also
- remove CL/CUDA tests from osd_regression. The tests for those kernels will be covered by glImaging.
- update cuda initialization to use the GL-interoperable device if available.
- remove CL specialization from glShareTopology, following the same pattern as we took in the previous OsdGLMesh refactoring. (still something strange with XFB kernels though)
- fix file permissions.
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.
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.
- modified main LimitMask queries to include subdivision Rule
- split internal mask assignments into corner, crease and smooth cases
- adapted all three schemes to the new structure
- completed limit tangents for Loop
- update TopologyRefiner Limit methods to pass newly required Rule
This is the first step to tease off Osd compute controller/contexts
from Far API.
Currently FarStencilTable only creates a kernelbatch for the entire range,
so we can use [0, numStencils) for all cases instead of KernelBatch.
This might not be true if we apply non-factorized level-wise stencils,
then we'll add another modular utility to serve those cases.
PatchTablesFactory fills 20 indices topology into patchtable, and use it for eval and draw.
note: currently screen-space adaptive tessellation of gregory basis patches is
broken and cracks appear around them.

to allocate some stack space.
