* The CATMARK_QUAD_FACE_VERTEX kernel calculates the face-vertex for a quadrilateral face. It applies to every face after the first subdivision step, and may be applied for the first subdivision step of a quadrilateral coarse mesh.
* The CATMARK_TRI_QUAD_FACE_VERTEX kernel calculates the face-vertex for a triangle or quadrilateral face. It may be applied for the first subdivision step of a coarse mesh composed of triangles and/or quadrilaterals.
* Both kernels calculate each face-vertex using four vertex indices (triangles are specified by repeating the third index). Therefore neither kernel uses the F_ITa codex table, and instead the first vertex offset in the F_IT index table is stored in the FarKernelBatch's table offset.
The previous fix pointed far indexing tables to the origin vertex
of duped singular verts.
This fix goes one step further and actually shifts all vertex indexing
to start at the end of the coarse mesh vertices, using the space for
data that was previously occupied by duplicated singular verts.
The consequence is that client code no longer needs to duplicate vertex
data in vertex buffers (huzzah !).
- fix FarSubdivisionTablesFactory to shift factory vertex table offsets using Hbr's
singular verts map
- fix schema table factories (Catmark, Loop...) to correctly use these offsets
- remove vertex data duplication code from osdPolySmooth example
- remove some (unrelated) cruft from glViewer example
- shape_utils unfortunately still needs to dubplicate the singular verts to
allow the coarse edge drawing in our example viewers to work correctly
(although it could be fixed to avoid data duplication too...)
fixes#241
- Add a vector of index pairs to HbrMesh to track the index of a split
vertex and its origin vertex
- Correct the Far remap tables in FarSubdivisionTablesFactory to point split
vertices to their origin instead of themselves
- Fix regression/common/shape_utils.h to use the new HbrMesh::GetSplitVertices()
method.
- Fix the osdPolySmooth example to use the new HbrMesh::GetSplitVertices()
method.
- Add a paragraph to the documentation
fixes#241

- 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
- 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
- [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...
