Graphic3d_CLight is now defined as a class inheriting Standard_Transient,
so that it's fields now should be accessed through methods.
Graphic3d_CLight::IsEnabled() - new property allowing to disable light source everywhere.
Confusing alias OpenGl_Light has been removed.
Graphic3d_CLight::SetAttenuation() - the upper limit 1.0 of attenuation factors has been removed
since it contradicts to OpenGL specs and does not make sense.
Graphic3d_ZLayerSettings::Lights() - light sources list is now property of ZLayer.
When defined, it overrides light sources defined for View/Viewer.
New class Graphic3d_LightSet has been defined to define a set of light sources.
V3d_Light - removed obsolete interface for debug drawing lights sources.
V3d_Light is now an alias to Graphic3d_CLight.
V3d_TypeOfLight is now defined as a typedef to Graphic3d_TypeOfLightSource.
In samples:
- Fixed syntax error in DataExchangeDemo.tcl
- MSAA is enabled in some tests to provide better presentation
- Option to build isolines on triangulation is used in some samples to avoid artifacts in selection highlight
- Colors are corrected in cpu.tcl
In documentation:
- Reference to automake tools is removed
- Standard_OVERRIDE is expanded to "override"
AIS_TextLabel - new public class to display simple text labels (based on MyTextClass private class from Draw Harness).
ViewerTest::Display() - add more reliable replacement for VDisplayAISObject() with no viewer update flag.
vdrawtext command redesign:
- Use new AIS_TextLabel class instead of private MyTextClass.
- Take object name and allow to clear labels from the Viewer.
- Use parameter name + parameter value syntax instead of strict list of mandatory arguments.
- Use [0; 1] range for colors and accept names.
- Drop redundant argument "isMultiByte".
- Support argument -noupdate to skip Viewer update.
Update test cases to new syntax of vdrawtext.
-Meaningful texts are provided instead of commands in File menu (e.g. restore->Load Shape (restore))
-tk_getOpenFile is used in "open file" dialogs
-tk_chooseDirectory is used in "change directory" dialog
-Added menu "Help" with submenus "System info", "Commands", "About", "User Guide"
-Added menu "Samples" with submenu "View samples"
-Added menu "Load" with submenus "pload <Module>"
Improve consistency and visual appearance of predefined OCCT materials in various rendering modes, including ray-tracing:
- Increase the specular exponents (shininesses) for metallic surfaces: Brass, Bronze, Copper, Gold, Pewter, Silver, Steel, Chrome, Aluminum.
- Revise specular colors for metals: Copper, Gold, Aluminum, Silver (according to "Real-Time Rendering, 3rd Edition", AK Peters 2008).
- Increase diffuse reflection of metals: Silver, Aluminum, Chrome (to make them brighter in OpenGL mode).
- Extend Material definition by Refraction Index.
Advanced rendering methods based on shaders or ray-tracing can utilize it to produce refraction effects.
In addition:
- Introduce three translucent materials: Water, Glass, and Diamond.
- Add Charcoal for modeling dark diffuse surfaces.
Add new TCL-based sample (materials.tcl) and test case (tests/v3d/materials/bug24855).
