- [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...
- 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
- generate baseline data with the new hbr_baseline tool
- run the a regression of the current hbr code over the baseline data-set with hbr_regression
There is still some cleanup to do to generalize some of the "shape" code as our intermediate
obj-like file format is unfortunately entrenching itself (we should really be using RIB...)
There is also a fair amounto f copy/pasted stuff in the regression code that needs to be refactored
Closes#32
mutex class with Lock / Unlock public functions.
- remove Mutex implementation from Hbr (and revert to original PRman code)
- provide a Mutex class stub in osd
- add some forward declarations in OsdMesh to limit some of the mutex spills
- #include <osd/mutex.h> where needed (little hackish until we can refactor
some of far better)
- remove ILM_BASE from some CMakeLists
Closes#48
- modify shape_utils to return a vector of coarse vertices when creating an hbr mesh
- minor cleanup of osd mesh and the addition of a vector parameter in the creator to
save the remapping between the hbr mesh progenitor and the current serialized osd mesh.
- minor fallout modifications to the glutViewer & far regression code
Notes :
- the dual template of far is causing a lot of complications
-> suggest finding a way to isolate the T template to the factory code.
-> far needs a concept of a vector of vertex & varying data (to abstract the vertex buffer
away from osd)
-> the dispatched mechanism is awkward and needs refactoring
-> suggest moving the default CPU kernels away from the subdivision tables
-> suggest finding a way to completely untemplate the tables (we might need a templated
factory function though)
-> osd should be able to call delete on the far mesh to get rid of all the CPU-bound data
once the GPU data has been laid-out.
Closes#18.
rules are set to "none" (both in Catmark & Loop)
* Amended shape_utils to always set a default boundary interp. rule
even when no tag was read (ie. don't default to "none")
* Added a regression test for the "dart" shape to test both
"edge only" and "edge corner" boundary interp. rules.
Closes#2.
