Technically the original issue is that xof/yof in render result is calculated
for drawing border render. So a simpler patch could be:
```
- rr->xof = re->disprect.xmin;
+ rr->xof = re->disprect.xmin + BLI_rcti_cent_x(&re->disprect) - (re->winx / 2);
```
However everywhere in the code we are getting border directly from re->disprect
which we may as well do here too.
Besides I'm taking this as a chance to get rid of RenderResult in the internal
loop of eevee, to help prepare the code to the upcoming rendering pipeline
changes.
When you were using autosmooth to generate some custom normals, and
created empty custom loop normal data, you would go back to an 'all
smooth' shading, cancelling some sharp edges generated by the mesh's
smooth threshold.
Now we will first tag such edges as sharp, such that shading remains the
same. This is not crucial in current master, but it is for clnors
editing gsoc branch!
Regression caused by earlier commits to improve the automerge behaviour.
In this case, the problems only occurred when moving a selected keyframe
forwards in time to overlap an unselected keyframe.
While it is necessary to ignore duplicates when doing Deselect/Column Select
(where double-updates may result in nothing being selected), for borderselect,
not including the duplicates meant that sometimes, nothing would happen
if you were trying to borderselect keyframes originating from hidden channels.
This was first noticed in the greasepencil-object branch, but affects all
animation channel types.
This is not an ideal solution but blender freeing system is already well tangled.
So tracking and clearing vao caches when destroying contexts does prevent bad behaviour.
This allows us to:
- Not mock around with tags stored in a global space,
and not to iterate over all datablocks in the database
to clear the tags.
- Properly deal with datablocks which might not be in main database.
While it sounds crazy, it might be handy when dealing with preview,
or some partial scene updates, such as motion paths.
- Avoids majority of places where depsgraph construction needed bmain.
This is something what could help in blender2.8 branch.
From tests with production file here did not see any measurable slowdown.
Hopefully, there is no functional changes :)
Was temporarily removed when moving object mode to workspace.
Note: there is an issue where eval_ctx->view_layer is NULL on load,
for now pass a view layer argument, we might wan't to set the value
instead.
This reverts commit 87c72a7d27.
Caused T54121 which breaks blend file saving.
For now crash on exit is preferable.
Possible solution is to free screen-manipulator batches in a separate
loop.
A major bottleneck of current implementation is the call to create_bindings() for basically every drawcalls.
This is due to the VAO being tagged dirty when assigning a new shader to the Batch, defeating the purpose of the Batch (reuse it for drawing).
Since managing hundreds of batches in DrawManager and DrawCache seems not fun enough to me, I prefered rewritting the batches itself.
--- Batch changes ---
For this to happen I needed to change the Instancing to be part of the Batch rather than being another batch supplied at drawtime.
The Gwn_VertBuffers are copied from the batch to be instanciated and a new Gwn_VertBuffer is supplied for instancing attribs.
This mean a VAO can be generated and cached for this instancing case.
A Batch can be rendered with instancing, without instancing attribs and without the need for a new VAO using the GWN_batch_draw_range_ex with the force_instance parameter set to true.
--- Draw manager changes ---
The downside with this approach is that we must track the validity of the instanced batch (the original one). For this the only way (I could think of) is to set a callback for when the batch is getting free.
This means a bit of refactor in the DrawManager with the separation of batching and instancing Batches.
--- VAO cache ---
Each VAO is generated for a given ShaderInterface. This means we can keep it alive as long as the shader interface lives.
If a ShaderInterface is discarded, it needs to destroy every VAO associated to it. Otherwise, a new ShaderInterface with the same adress could be generated and reuse the same VAO with incorrect bindings.
The VAO cache itself is using a mix between a static array of VAO and a dynamic array if the is not enough space in the static.
Using this hybrid approach is a bit more performant than the dynamic array alone.
The array will not resize down but empty entries will be filled up again. It's unlikely we get a buffer overflow from this. Resizing could be done on next allocation if needed.
--- Results ---
Using Cached VAOs means that we are not querying each vertex attrib for each vbo for each drawcall, every redraw!
In a CPU limited test scene (10000 cubes in Clay engine) I get a reduction of CPU drawing time from ~20ms to 13ms.
The only area that is not caching VAOs is the instancing from particles (see comment DRW_shgroup_instance_batch).
This allows allocation of VAOs from different opengl contexts and thread as long as the drawing happens in the same context.
Allocation is thread safe as long as we abide by the "one opengl context per thread" rule.
We can still free from any thread and actual freeing will occur at new vao allocation or next context binding.
The other approach was causing too much error in some cases (e.g. favouring
the lower-valued keyframes). This fix should make the resulting curves less
bumpy/jagged.
This commit removes an earlier attempt at optimising the lookups
for duplicates of a particular tRetainedKeyframe once we'd already
deleted all the selected copies. The problem was that now, instead
of getting rid of the unselected keys (i.e. the basic function here),
we were only getting rid of the selected duplicates.
With this fix, unselected keyframes will now get removed (as expected)
again. However, we currently don't take their values into account
when merging keyframes, since it is assumed that we don't care so much
about their values when overriding.
