Progress with thr Glow effect - moving glow app looks ok now.
Progress with a more generic 'preprocess' stage of Postprocessing Effects.
Hide the FBO_QUEUE thing inside the library. The queue is running internally now, without public setAsOutputFBO() thing (simplifies writing postprocess effects)
Simplify Main OIT shader.
Fix the fact that back-facing surfaces were invisible.
Largely fix the non-postprocessed OIT. Still, one problem remains: back-facing surfaces seem to disappear (visible in 'Cubes')
Progress with non-postprocessed OIT.
Status: compiles, but fails to work on both Adreno and Mali. Crashes the app (Adreno) or the whole system (Mali)
Update the 'main' shaders for OIT.
Start merging master and OIT.
OIT: fixes for Mali: fix a broken loop in the oitRender fragment shader that resulted in flashing.
OIT: fix for 'out of memory' crash on Mali GPUs.
~The thing still does not fully work there - there are still strange flashes in apps that innvolve OIT, for example in 'Triblur'.
OIT: fixes. Everything looks correct now except for the curious return of the 'dancing lower-left corner' small glitch in the 'Transparency' app.
OIT: correction for blending in Pass4
OIT: move towards 4 passes ( clear - build - collapse - render )
OIT: correct depth
OIT: more bugfixes
OIT: lots of progress on all fronts. Still a few bugs to solve though!
Properly recreate the Atomic and LinkedList buffers onPause.We have to discard all alpha==0.0 pixels during OIT Pass1.
small correction for blending OIT colors.
OIT: something starts working ('Blur' and 'Multiblur' work, 'Triblur' and 'Transparency' do not)
Fix the 'OIT' artefacts.
still debugging the OIT
- remove counting of transparent pixels from main fragment shader- remove debugs and tidy up- some fixes for the Mali GPU
Order Independent Transparency: debugging
Order Independent Transparency: some progress
Order Independent Transparency. Does not work yet.
Postprocessing buffers mBuffer[] are now shared among all postprocessing operations. This saves a lot of memory, but also means that when doing each particular postprocessing, the textures backing up the mBuffer might be too large. We need to fix two things here: when outputting to those too large textures, we need to adjust the Viewport, and when binding those too large textures as input - we need to adjust the TexCoords to compensate....
SSBO: now we have a more-or-less correct running average of the count of transparent fragments over the last few frames.
SSBO: correct various things.
SSBO: handle the fact that we might run out of space in our SSBO if we keep creating new Surfaces.
SSBO: counting of transparent fragments more or less works now. Still the counters are zeroed out in the wrong place - every time we start rendering something to a given Surface, rather than once per frame.
SSBO: more and more works...
SSBO: something is working already, although we still get the 4 bytes back from the shader in reverse order ( so '17'=0x00000011 written by the shader becomes '285212672 = 0x11000000' )
First try at the SSBO (doesn't work - reads in the application don't pick up changes in the shader; crashes.
Simplification in PostprocessEffects
Move all the knowledge about Vertex and Fragment effects to their respective classes.
Progress with support for Effect classes.
Beginnings of the GLOW unit test.
Move on to Stencil on both stages of the BLUR + separate 'blit with depth'.
This works wonders on Nexus 5X ( r=50 quality=HIGHIEST 1,4,8 cubes: 59.3,43.6,41.0 FPS! ) but it somehow fails to clear the DEPTH and STENCIL buffers on Nexus 4....
Move to a new way to detecting depth of postprocessing halos.This switches off stenciling (hopefully temporarily!)
Use Transform Feedback to (optionally) display the Normal vectors.
Dynamic display of bounding rectangles (with coords computed by Vertex Shader and gotten with Transform Feedback) works now.
Major problem: the glMapBufferRange() slows doewn rendering in a major way. Multiblur's FPS:
Nexus5X : 35.4 before -> 12.6 after...
Make the Feedback APP work again.
Revert "Progress with TransferFeedback app - introduce two modes: USEPOINTS 'true' or 'false'."
This reverts commit 21304c55380460c5882b789ea13eb00ffd9a686c.
Revert "This commit (and reading the OpenGL ES 3.0 spec) pretty conclusively proves that, sadly, Nexus 4's Transform Feedback implementation is incomplete (doesn't work with GL_TRIANGLES primitiveMode)"
This reverts commit 5ba19814852de1762e452662a13c4944792014a9.
Revert "Some progress with Transform Feedback. Still many bugs all over."
This reverts commit 79921db22e4ff5a3b2e6e3466a39445f5607a695.
Some progress with Transform Feedback. Still many bugs all over.
This commit (and reading the OpenGL ES 3.0 spec) pretty conclusively proves that, sadly, Nexus 4's Transform Feedback implementation is incomplete (doesn't work with GL_TRIANGLES primitiveMode)
Progress with TransferFeedback app - introduce two modes: USEPOINTS 'true' or 'false'.
On Nexus5X, it works with 'true' and 'false'. On Nexus 4, it works with 'true', but returns GL_INVALID_OPERATION with 'false'.
Progress with moving the Transform Feedback functionality from the APP to the library.
Simplifications.
1) bugfix computing Gaussian BLUR kernel (for odd radii, the last offset was incorrectly computed)2) introduce more advanced method of detecting BLUR halo (compute depths in a new way)
Roll back the recent MIPMAP work.
Preliminary support for MIPMAP levels of the postprocessing buffers. (doesn't work yet)
Merging blurred surfaces mostly ok now (blurred image still appears a bit shifted down for some reason)
Simplify shaders.
Make it more flexible; now it can run almost all apps on OpenGL 2.0 contexts; OpenGL 3.0 ( with GLSL 3.00) required for POSTPROCESSING.
Upgrade from GLSL 1.00 to GLSL 3.00 ESIntroduce separate BLUR1 and BLUR2 shaders, the second one marging (writing to gl_FragDepth still does not work)
Simplify BLUR shader.
Simplify drawRecursive
simplify blitPriv()
Introduce Effects.blitPriv() (faster than previous drawNoEffectsPriv)
Minor
Speed up shaders (both compilation and execution) by explicitly enabling only the needed effects.
Preparation for shader optimization
Back out the last change.
Effect-independent normals.
Preparation for effect-independent computation of the nermal vectors.
minor.
Separable Box blur fully works now!
Separable Box blur (almost) works.
Small progress with Blur.
Define float precision in Vertex Shaders to the same like in Fragment Shaders.
improve Postprocessing; new icon; minor things.
Progress with getting Mesh'es bounding rectangle. Still doesn't quite work yet (visible : 'Cubes' app with a 0111 Mesh)
Naive implementation of blur works now!
Blurred image visible now!
NUM_POSTPROCESS corectly #defined now.
Further progress with Postprocessing. Now the missing bits are:
- implement Distorted.getFBO()- implement Distorted.clean()- improve compilation of DistortedPrograms so that the NUM_POSTPROCESSING and names of POSTPROCESSING effects will be #defined.
progress with Postprocessing.
Beginnings of support for postprocessing Effects.
Add 3rd dimension to the Deform effect.
Improve the Deform app
DEFORM: add support for Regions
Polish up DEFORM.
re-write the deform effect
rearrange comments
New vertex effect 'PINCH'
Complete moving center to 3D.
re-generate noise after passing each Point.
1. Workaround for th issue that my shitty Nexus 4 crashes while compiling the vertext shader (actually the wave function)2. Improvements to the Dynamics app
minor stuff
Make the WAVE effect 5D (extra parameter 'offset')
swap the 2nd and the 3rd parameters in the WAVE effect and improve comments for the WAVE user API.
Switch off the pre-compulting of sin and cos in CPU as it turns out that those two are single-instruction functions on any modern GPU ( http://www.gamedev.net/topic/322422-number-of-gpu-cycles-for-cos-and-sin-functions/ - link form 2005 ! )
Improve the comment the WAVE effect.
Correct one more issue with computation of WAVE.
