Added new flag Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d::ToDrawSilhouette() activating silhouette (outline) rendering.
The new feature can simulate fake HLR look-n-feel,
when combined with Aspect_IS_HIDDENLINE interior style (filling object with background color),
face boundary edges (with most continuity flag set to c2 or lower).
Silhouette GLSL program is very simple - it displaces model alongside vertex normal,
so that it is applicable only to smooth surfaces and closed volumes,
and produces visual artifacts at sharp corners, especially when face boundary is disabled.
OpenGl_SetOfShaderPrograms has been modified so that to reduce
dimensions of the grid of static size based on amount of program combinations.
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray no more allocates VBO resources if primitive array
is marked to be not drawn via interior style / line type / marker type.
Aspect_IS_HOLLOW now an alias to Aspect_IS_EMPTY and Aspect_IS_HIDDENLINE does not implicitly enables mesh edges,
so that Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d::SetDrawEdges() should be set independently.
OpenGl_ShaderManager now provides built-in GLSL programs for drawing mesh edges
in single pass (and on OpenGL ES which does not provide glPolygonMode()).
Graphic3d_RenderingParams::ToEnableAlphaToCoverage is now enabled by default
and properly handled at TKOpenGl level - enables coverage for Graphic3d_AlphaMode_Mask primitives.
OpenGl_PrimitiveArray now uses GLSL programs instead of glPolygonMode() by default,
which can be managed by OpenGl_Caps::usePolygonMode flag (desktop OpenGL only).
glPolygonMode() is also used as fallback regardless OpenGl_Caps::usePolygonMode flag
when GLSL programs are not supported (Geometry Shaders are required)
or stipple line style is required (not implemented within Face GLSL).
vaspects command has been extended by -setInterior -setDrawEdges -setEdgeColor -setEdgeType -setEdgeWidth
arguments replacing vsetinteriorstyle/vsetedgetype/vunsetedgetype commands.
vaspects now accepts arguments without "set" prefix.
ViewerTest::ParseColor() now parses RGBA color.
Redundant command BUC60738 has been removed.
AIS_ColorScale - fixed usage of uninitialized FillArea aspects.
Graphic3d_ClipPlane now can define a Chain of Planes (logical AND).
OpenGl_ShaderManager - added new GLSL sub-programs for clipping plane chains.
Bnd_Range::TrimFrom(), ::TrimTo() - added auxiliary methods for trimming the range.
SelectMgr_ViewClipRange now handles non-continuous clipping range.
Graphic3d_SequenceOfHClipPlane now aggregates NCollection_Sequence instead of inheritance.
OpenGl_CappingPlaneResource - triangulation has been adjusted to make front face following CCW order.
Graphic3d_AspectFillArea3d has been extended by new property ::ShadingModel(),
which is set to Graphic3d_TOSM_DEFAULT by default.
The new API allows assigning Shading Model to specific Primitive Array groups
instead of entire Viewer, which was the only possibility before.
Graphic3d_TypeOfShadingModel has been extended with Graphic3d_TOSM_DEFAULT value
meaining that Shading Model defined as default for the Viewer should be used.
Graphic3d_TOSM_NONE has been renamed to Graphic3d_TOSM_UNLIT.
Documentation of Shading Models has been improved by more details.
V3d_TypeOfShadingModel enumeration has been merged into Graphic3d_TypeOfShadingModel
avoiding duplicated definitions and confusion.
Old values has been left for compatibility with old code and can be marked deprecated in future.
Draw Harness command vaspects has been extended by new argument -setShadingModel
for testing Shading Models assigned to entire objects.
OpenGl_SetOfShaderPrograms now holds an array of Shading Models.
OpenGl_ShaderManager interface has been modified and now requires enumeration as input
in several places where Boolean flags have been used previously
(methods ::BindFaceProgram(), ::BindLineProgram(), ::BindMarkerProgram()).
OpenGl_Workspace now defines default (undefined) OpenGl_AspectFace as Graphic3d_TOSM_UNLIT
to simplify indication of primitive groups with undefined Fill Area aspects,
and so that Graphic3d_TOSM_UNLIT set as default Shading Model will not make artifacts on Lines and Markers.
AIS_Manipulator::Axis::Compute() - added missing initialization of Fill Area aspects (leading to undefined behavior).
Weighted, Blended Order-Independent Transparency algorithm has been added rasterization pipeline.
In contrast to classical blending transparency it makes transparent objects look independent
from point of view. It also gives better depth occlusion when being used together with a weight factor
based on value of a GL depth buffer. The feature supports desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES 3.0, ANGLE
and can be used together with MSAA on desktop GL.
To be used it require availability of:
1) Shaders pipeline.
2) Floating point color format for framebuffer (GL_ARB_color_buffer_float).
3) Multiple render targets (GL_ARB_draw_buffers).
Patch does not modify API and does not require application porting.
It adds new rendering options to Graphic3d_RenderingParams structure:
a) Transparency method from enumeration.
b) Scalar factor [0-1] controlling influence of a fragment's depth to its visibility.
Patch also simplifies processing of transparent objects for standard method:
rendering priority of transparent graphical structures is managed automatically,
therefore there is no need to care about it at application's side.
OpenGl_Structure::Render() now checks if structure is entirely clipped to skip rendering at all,
or entirely NOT clipped to disable clipping / capping plane.
OpenGl_ShaderManager now defines dedicated GLSL programs for one and two clipping planes
to optimize rendering on slow hardware.
OpenGl_LineAttributes - drop display lists for stipple lines.
OpenGl_Context - add methods OpenGl_Context::SetTypeOfLine() and OpenGl_Context::SetLineWidth() to setup line aspects.
OpenGl_ShaderManager::prepareStdProgramFlat() - support new bit OpenGl_PO_StippleLine.
vaspects command - add -setlinetype option.
