The "funniest" of all is that those get printed in a totally random
fashion. Some in Debug, some in Release, some not at all (like, half of
the MaterialDataTest doesn'ŧ initialize `state` and yet it doesn't
complain). Fuck these half-assed features that achieve nothing except
bullying people WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING FFS.
Because::This::Is::Colon::Cancer. Also rename Cube to CubeMap and get
rid of the comment that said cube map images are six consecutive 2D
images. Now it's one 3D image instead because that makes more sense, in
the very rare case we'd need to have six different images again we could
probably add a CubeFace value or some such.
Interestingly enough, there were no docs whatsoever for image and scene
conversion, and neither it was mentioned what all scene data can be
imported. Sigh.
We have half-float vectors and matrices, so why not these as well. Not
sure for what all is the angle precision usable, but at the very least
it could be useful for compact meshlet occlusion cone / AABB
representation or rough animations.
This is already done for the AbstractImporter and the new
AbstractShaderConverter, as there's a common use case of checking just
the filename for input/output path or file type detection and then
delegating to the common implementation working directly on data.
Minor but very important convenience feature, especially useful when
dealing with command-line apps. This now works:
magnum-imageconverter a.png a.jpg -c jpegQuality=0.75
The AnyImageConverter gets the jpegQuality option and then
automatically propagates it to the concrete plugin (which is either
JpegImageConverter or StbImageConverter), possibly warning in case the
target plugin doesn't recognize given option (i.e., doesn't list it in
its default configuration). Previously the user had to always specify a
concrete converter implementation using -C, which was rather annoying
and nonintuitive.
In cases when specular highlights are not desired, results in 30%
speedup (on Intel) and ~25% speedup on AMD, compared to setting the
specular color to transparent black.
Testing was easy thanks to already having a ground truth image for this
case.
After several failed attempts to make UBO performance not suck on Intel
Mesa and Windows drivers, I ended up hiding the dynamic aspect under a
flag. That way it's still possible to get the proper perf in UBO
workflows that don't do light culling, and for workflows where light
culling matters the 2x slowdown might be still better than looping
through several extra lights that don't contribute anything.
