In object mode, the axes are drawn like any other wire objects with
depth test and depth write. Thus enabling MSAA to work but not their xray
behaviour.
In edit armature/pose mode, draw smooth line without depth testing. This
produces wrong draw ordering problem but still gives the desired xray
behaviour. We do it outside of the MSAA pass since the xray behaviour is not
compatible with it. But we are drawing smoothed lines so no need for MSAA.
The lines are 2px thick and improve readability.
Now the axes are displayed correctly at the tip of the bone and with the
axes names.
I've made some modifications though:
- Axes are colored. (should not be in object mode but that's TODO)
- Axes ends are not flat arrows anymore. Replaced with a small diamond.
- Axes names are now scale by their respective axes instead of being
affected by other axes.
- Changed axes names "font" to be a bit more sexy.
This makes a few changes:
- Remove the old "overlay" wires.
- Add constraints colors to bones.
- Specify a a new "hint" color per bone. Making selection/Active state
more obvious.
- Unify Octahedral/B-Bones/Envelope shading and colors.
- Change outline size depending on the selection/active state of the bone.
Note that thoses changes are not final and needs review.
This will enable us to do more nice stuff in future commits.
This commit is a temporary commit, it will compile but will crash if
trying to display any armature. Next commit does work.
For some we may add per object overrides, but for most we plan to keep them
strictly per viewport settings. Display settings from the mesh still need to
be moved here, only collections were done to remove that code.
Initial review of the shard shadows in the workbench engine.
Speed optimizations like transform feedback are not implemented yet. I first want this part to be reviewed and merged.
@fclem please check the note in drw_stencil_set it was holding back nequal == 0 as by default DST.stencil_mask was set to 0. questioin is should we remove the whole check or not.
Also I am still looking for a better name (or split the enum) for DRW_STATE_STENCIL_DEPTH_FAIL_INCR_DECR_WRAP

The actual weighting calculation is not smooth as the bone display.
The bone itself can be smooth for esthetic purpose but the distance display
should match the underlying weighting formula.
Past shader was too slow and had bad artifacts. This method is much simpler
and eficient and only exhibit some popping when the raidus of the head/tail
is changed.
We now use a more pleasant and efficient way to display enveloppe bones
and their radius.
For this we use a capsule geometry that is displaced (in the vertex shader)
to a signed distance field that represents the bone shape.
The bone distance radius are now drawn in 3D using a "pseudo-fresnel" effect.
This gives a better understanding of what is inside the radius of influence.
When capsules are not needed, we switch to default raytraced points.
The capsules are not distorded by the bone's matrix (same as their actual
influence radius) and are correctly displayed even with complex scaled
parents hierarchy.
Here is how it works:
We render a high poly disc that we orient & scale towards the camera so that
it covers the same pixel of the sphere it's supposed to represent.
Then the pixel shader raytrace the sphere (effectively starting from
the poly disc depth) and outputs the depth to gl_FragDepth.
This approach has many benefit:
- high quality obviously: per pixel accurate depth!
- compatible with MSAA: since the sphere horizon is delimited by polygons,
we get the coverage computed by the rasterizer. However we still gets
aliasing if the sphere intersect directly other meshes.
- virtually no overdraw: there is no backface to shade but we still get
overdraw because by little triangle [gpus rasterize pixel by groups of 4].
- allows early depth test: since the poly disc is set at the nearest depth
we can output, we can use GL_ARB_conservative_depth to enable early depth
test and discard pixels that are already behind geometry.
- can draw outline pretty easily without geometry shader.
This manually resolve the content of a multisample FB to a single sample FB.
It resolves color (combine the 2 framebuffers in a logical maner keeping
depth buffer occlusion etc..) instead of a plain glBlitFramebuffer copy.
This fix the issue with the zfighting we were getting at bones edges.
Moreover, this enables us to render arbitrarly large outline with
varying thickness.
Now they are properly converted to Linear space before interpolation.
Since the only way to get vertex color in eevee and cycles is via the
attribute node with the CD_AUTO_FROM_NAME flag, we have to know at binding
time which type of buffer will be connected to this auto input.
We store this information inside the batch cache (together with the according
uniform name) and pass it as uniform to the shader which does conversion if
needed. The same shader can then be reused to draw another mesh with
different auto layers configuration.
