- replaced Evaluate() with EvaluateBasis() in far/tutorial_6
- commented out use of EvaluateFaceVarying() in examples/farViewer
- face-varying patches are work in progress
In osd layer, we use GLPatchTable (D3D11PatchTable) as a
device-specific representation of FarPatchTables instead of
DrawContext. GLPatchTable may be used not only for drawing
but also for GPU eval APIs (not yet supported though.
We may add CudaPatchTable etc as needed).
The legacy gregory patch drawing buffers are carved out to
the separate class, named GLLegacyGregoryPatchTable.
Also face-varying data are split into client side for now, until
we add new and more robust face-varying drawing structure
(scheduled at 3.1 release)
Tentatively replicate PatchArray structure in GLPatchTables. It will
be revised in the upcoming change.
Shifting hard-coded SRV locations of legacy gregory buffers in HLSL shaders.
- changes completely deprecate AddWithWeight(T, float, float, float)
- added new EvaluateBasis() method to PatchTables
- replaced usage of old Evaluate...<T,U>() methods with EvaluateBasis()
- removed old Evaluate...<T,U>() methods
- removed now unused Interpolate...<T,U>() functions in far/interpolate.h
- moved low-level basis code from far/interpolate.* to patchBasis.*
hlslPatchGregoryBasis.hlsl is an equivalent to glslPatchGregoryBasis.
Update dxViewer to be able to switch among bspline, gregorybasis, legacy
end capping.
also fixes a bug of GLSL legacy gregory shader which had an inconsistent
resource naming with example codes.
It looks like there's still an issue of D3D11 patchParam data fetching.
we'll come back to that bug.
While this may be worth revisiting, we should first quantify the benefits and
identify the compilers that support it. Ultimately, we may never use pragma
once in favor of strictly using standard C++.
The code in farViewer that was used to draw the Hbr representation
of meshes is now gone. This code was mostly used as a way to compare
against the Vtr implementation. However, we don't want this to serve
as an example for others as the Hbr code is not meant to be instructive
otherwise.
- added new class to far/topologyLevel.h
- updated TopologyRefiner to manage set of TopologyLevels internally
- added TopologyRefiner method to retrieve TopologyLevel
- redefined obsolete TopologyRefiner methods in terms of TopologyLevel
The most up-to-date version of the HLSL compiler is now shipped as part
of the Windows SDK. Previously, the HLSL compiler was included with
the DirectX SDK.
There is more that we can do to improve this cmake module, but this
makes it more likely to find the correct tool.
As a preparation for retiring DrawContext, move SupportsAdaptiveTessellation
method to examples/common/glUtils, which is renamed and namespaced
from gl_common.{cpp,h} to be consistent to other files.
Same renamings applied to other example files.
