The purpose of this functionality is to bring a basic ray-tracing solution to existing OCCT visualization toolkit (TKOpenGL).
Currently ray-tracing visualization core supports sharp shadows, specular reflections, transparency and adaptive anti-aliasing.
However, the basis for all ray-tracing algorithms is versatile, allowing you to add new ray-tracing features easily (such as ambient occlusion).
All ray-tracing computations are performed on the GPU using OpenCL framework, allowing real-time rendering performance.
It is important to note, that real-time ray-tracing is possible using high-performance GPUs with support of OpenCL 1.1 and higher (such as NVIDIA GeForce 660 or ATI/AMD Radeon 7850).
When using low-end GPUs (such as NVIDIA GeForce 640) the ray-tracing performance may slow down significantly.
Therefore, even with NVIDIA GeForce 640 you can render scenes with the millions of triangles. The support of OpenCL-enabled CPUs and integrated graphics cards is not guaranteed.
Graphical clipping:
- Use "Graphic3d_ClipPlane" to defined clipping for PrsMgr_PresentableObject (local clipping), for V3d_View (global clipping).
Get rid of old implementations:
- Remove Visual3d_ClipPlane.
- Port V3d_Plane to Graphic3d_ClipPlane core.
Selection Sensitives:
- Port "Matches" method to add full set of arguments (SelectBasics_PickArgs), including min-max depth coming from selector.
- Get rid of transient data for pair Matches -> ComputeDepth.
- Extend SelectMgr_ViewerSelector::LoadResult to work with local clipping, add virtual callbacks to compute globa/local depth clipping for picking.
Capping rendering algorithm:
- Recursive rendering algorithm for OpenGl_Groups.
- Introduced Rendering filter for groups.
Clipping plane management in TKOpenGl:
- Added OpenGl_ClippingState to OpenGl_Context.
DRAWEXE commands:
- Ported "vclipplane" command for new approach.
- Added "vsettexturemode" command for changing texture details in views (enable / disable textures).
Correct DownCast syntax (compilation error)
Fix new compiler warnings
tests/bugs/vis/bug22906 migrated to the new vclipplane syntax
Structures Graphic3d_CView, Graphic3d_CStructure, Graphic3d_CGroup become classes and their definitions moved from InterfaceGraphic to Graphic3d.
Introduced new class OpenGl_Texture as replacement for OpenGl_ResourceTexture class and static functions in OpenGl_TextureBox.
Graphic3d_TextureRoot now no more communicate within Graphic3d_GraphicalDriver.
Instead class returns image through GetImage() method.
OpenGl_AspectFace - avoid possible NULL-dereference
OpenGl_Texture::Init() - check gluBuild2DMipmaps() return value
OpenGl_Texture - check GL_BGRA_EXT for compatibility
OpenGl_Texture - scale NPOT image when required
Added more description to Graphic3d_TextureRoot class
OpenGl_Texture - added missing break statement for ImgBGR32 case
OpenGl_Workspace::setTextureParams() - fixed local variable aFilterMin overrides visibility of early declared variable
OpenGl_Workspace::DisableTexture() - reset texture matrix
FTGL do not reset texture matrix and corrupt text could be rendered if custom texture has not identity texture matrix.
