Refactored computation and drawing code used
for tessellated patches to improve readability
and extensibility.
- Updated mtlViewer.metal computation kernel to express
data indexing using familiar semantic concepts: i.e.
primitiveID, vertexID, etc. instead of threadgroup
semantics.
- Updated mtlViewer.mm to consolidate patch type
dispatch. Now, the configuration and execution
of the compute and drawing passes is controlled
by a PipelineConfig descriptor.
Fixed mtlViewer to be more consistent with the other
example viewers and allow screen space tessellation
to be enabled independently from fractional tessellation.
Updated the Metal viewer runtime options to more
closely match the other viewers:
- default to adaptive tessellation
- default to patch type coloring
- present end cap options as: Linear/Regular/Gregory
- exposed switches for patch refinement options:
smooth corner, single crease, inf sharp
- updated fvar linear interpolation labels
and methods to match glFVarViewer
- updated iOS Main.storyboard GUI to match
Refactored the Metal viewer's implementation of
smooth face-varying uv interpolation so that the
face-varying patch basis is correctly determined
by inspecting the face-varying patch array type
descriptors.
Fixed smooth face-varying interpolation for the Metal viewer
when using screen-space tessellation. The location to evaluate
the face-varying value needs to match the computed tess location
instead of the intrinsic position_in_patch.
