- Texture creation now requires explicit data type.
- GPU_texture_add_mipmap enable explicit mipmap upload.
- GPU_texture_get_mipmap_size can be used to get the size of a mipmap level
of an existing GPUTexture
- GPU_texture_read let you read back data from a gpu texture.
Added a compile directive in order to test SH4 in stead of SH2Win.
For now I disabled SH4, it is a bit more clear, but has a small
performance impact. Will check later for a better approach
In stead of a single refresh function that re-init the whole system. The
API now supports adding and removing. Which will be much faster and less
flickering of missing icons when adding/removing lights
The calculation of the irradiance buffer was slow. Now it is only
calculated when it is being used (background_alpha > 0.0)
this solves the freeze when switching to LookDev mode.
Also changed the default calculation to use the Spherical Harmonics
calculation. This is able to generate the irradiance buffer fast, but is
less accurate. As the irradiance buffer is only used for visual
guidance speed is more important than accuracy.
Added compile directive to switch between the implementations.
(see STUDIOLIGHT_IRRADIANCE_METHOD)
Disabled caching the irradiance buffer when
STUDIOLIGHT_IRRADIANCE_METHOD_SPHERICAL_HARMONICS is used as it is not
needed.
- Orientation of the cubemap were not conform cycles and eevee
- one side of the cubemap was flipped, so one side was overlit and the
other side was to dark.
Happened when deleting many studiolights at the same time when the
previews were still beging calculated in the background.
Added a free function callback that is filled when the preview is being
generated. This free function will then kill the preview job
This patch also removes icons that are not valid anymore so the user
cannot accidentally render an icon where the studiolight is invalid.
In the end we should use a add/remove function in the studiolight as
currently icons are recalculated too much.
This is a temp fix for a better system.
Currently the studiolights can be referenced by a WM_job and being freed
via the API. This can happen when removing a studiolight via the
interface.
As the studiolight has no relation with the job, it is hard to detect if
it is still being used. I tried with a Mutex and a Thread Queue but they
were failing.
So the current temp fix is to keep the studiolights in memory until you
close blender. This Must be fixed ASAP! I added this fix so normal cases
can workish.
- the result of the SH2-coeffiecients are stored in a bin file (3*9
floats). As the file is a local file we do not care about the
architecture.
- solved issue that also for internal lights the irradiance file were
stored. We don't want that as it could be in a not accessible location
- all known image types are supported
- BpyAPI for studiolights added
- added open user pref operator in shading menu
- possible to add multiple files in a single run
For now refreshing studio lights will free all studiolights and reinit
the whole mechanism. This can be improved by only freeing deleted, reset
updated and add new custom studiolights.
details to show currently only shows the path we perhaps want to add
other information also
- users can use their own matcaps
.config/blender/2.80/datafiles/studiolights/matcap/ folder
- upto 100 matcaps can be loaded
- color of the matcap is influenced by the color of the material/single
color etc. To show the plain matcap use single color at 1.0
- chosing a matcap is at lighting level (flat/studio/matcap)
- matcap only possible in solid mode
- also works for X-Ray mode
As the old matcaps are still in used by the clay engine I didn't remove
it yet.
- Uses the roughness setting of the basic eevee material
- renamed gloss_mir to roughness
- set default of roughness to 0.25
- renamed ray_mirror to metallic
- cleaned up material rna (BI mirror struct)
- use BLINN phong model
- normalize incoming/outgoing specular light
- when using camera oriented studiolight, the SolidLight will be used
for specular highlights
- EXPERIMENT: when in world oriented studiolight only the shadow direction will be used.
- change the settings of the internal light to make scenes more
readable
