WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 115511888c20c53670eba17a82c81c9af99d7302
Author: vs <vs2009@mail.com>
Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .
2022-01-03 15:43:29 +00:00
// Randomise texture lookups for 5 non-base textures e.g. mix_texture, detaile_texture etc.
// Each landclass is assigned 5 random textures from the ground texture array.
// This simulates a worst case possible texture lookup scenario, without needing access to material parameters.
// This does not simulate multiple texture sets, of which there may be up-to 4.
// The performance will likely be worse than in a real situation - there might be fewer textures
// for mix, detail and other textures. This might be easier on the GPUs texture caches.
// Possible values: 0: disabled (default),
// 1: enabled,
// 2: remove texture array lookups for 5 textures - only base texture + neighbour base textures

WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.

WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas.

WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.

- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.

WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.

Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.

Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 115511888c20c53670eba17a82c81c9af99d7302
Author: vs <vs2009@mail.com>
Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 115511888c20c53670eba17a82c81c9af99d7302
Author: vs <vs2009@mail.com>
Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 shaders:
- WS30-ALS and WS30-ALS-ultra fargment and vertex shaders: Fix NDotL being used before it is initialised. Rename varying diffuse_term from WS2 terrain shaders to light_diffuse_comp as the full diffuse term is not calculated until the fragment shader.
- WS30-ALS-ultra.frag: Enable haze and lighting by default.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.

The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

// Testing code:
// Use rlc even when looking up textures to recreate the extra performance hit
// so any performance difference between the two is due to the texture lookup
WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.

Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS

Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.

Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:

Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).

- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.

- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 115511888c20c53670eba17a82c81c9af99d7302
Author: vs <vs2009@mail.com>

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 115511888c20c53670eba17a82c81c9af99d7302
Author: vs <vs2009@mail.com>

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures.

- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.

Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.

Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).

- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.

- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.

WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.

Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 shaders:

Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).

- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.

Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:

Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS

Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.

WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.

- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 shaders:
Add WS3 detailed technique using the "6" slot. Port the ALS haze, lighting, and math parts of the detailed and ultra shaders. The texture lookups are left out.
Shader selection based on terrain quality setting:
- Ultra - ws30-ALS-ultra frag/vert.
- High and Medium - ws30-ALS-detailed frag/vert. The shaders switch code paths based on quality level uniform.
- Low - ws30-ALS frag/vert.
Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS
Squashed commit of the following:

Date: Mon Dec 6 18:52:06 2021 +1000
WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.

Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changelog:
ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.

- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.

ws30-ALS vertex shaders:
- Ambient colour material colour doesn't seem to be used in the vertex shader, and isn't sent to fragment shaders currently. Regional materials only define non-default ambient colour of vec4(0.0) for water, ocean etc. Otherwise the default value of vec4(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 1.0) is used.
ws30-ALS.frag:
- Set alpha of color to diffuse_term.a, to be consistent with WS2 implementation.
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag
- World pos is assigned a value to allow noise functions to compile.
- Swatch_size is temporarily set to 2000m instead of the xsize texture dimension to allow noise math to run while landclass search and texture arrays are being looked up. Swatch_size is used to adjust the wavelength of multiple overlay mixing noise wavelengths based on how far the textures are stretched (WiP WS2 feature). There are some noise calculations that could run while the first landclass lookup happens. If this is not enough, the selection of calculated noise wavelengths to add could change based on how far the textures are stretched, instead of changing the wavelengths at calculation time.
- Move photoscenery technique no "4" after technique no "7" without changing the index (in case the low index is needed for photoscenery). This makes viewing a diff with the WS2 effect easier.
Performance: Currently there's only 1 ground texture lookup and landclass transitions for that texture. The ultra shader looks up 5 more textures. Probably transitions for 1 more texture need to be supported, as often a base and overlay texture are mixed contributing heavily to visible colour. The math overhead is mostly present, except for noise math being better hidden than in the eventual version. Some of the texture array lookups in the full version may be hidden by the math - depending on GPU memory handling compared to calculation speed.

WS30: MR #267: Improved texture lookups from VS

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures

Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.

- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
Changelog:
1.0 - Small-scale transitions:
-- a) Remove squareness due to landclass texture by growing neighbour landclasses onto others depending on a growth priority. This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures.

This feature uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and only 1 ground texture lookup per point. For now the growth priority is simply the landclass id number. If this approach is used, growth priority would be a materials parameter. A way to set default growth priority by landclass via an xml file would be needed. There is flickering noise at long ranges due to small scale detail in the noise function used for growing landclasses. Partial derivative are used to turn off the feature, but turning off the feature too quickly still shows some square ness in distant landclasses.
-- b) Reduce squareness due to landclass texture by mixing base textures of neighbouring landclasses. This is not perfect, as perfectly square shapes turn into perfectly square shapes with perfectly smudged edges. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
-- c) - a) and b) can be run at once. This option will also fade the growths gradually with distance. This uses 2 landclass texture lookups, 1 noise lookup, and 2-3 ground texture lookups.
2.0 - Large scale transitions:
-- a) Implemented by searching the landclass texture. The search pattern is current landlcass for the fragment at the center, and n search points in four directions along the s and t axes forming a cross. The search directions are configurable in the code, adn a minimum of 3 directions are needed. The step size is configurable. The fewer the steps, the larger the bands formed in the transitions. There are 1+4*n landclass lookups per n search points. e.g. 1 search point: 5 lookups, 4 search points:17 lookups, 10 search points: 41 lookups.
-- b) An option to dither the transition bands by adding mixing noise is availble. This breaks up the visual impact of bands.
-- c) There is some functionality to grow neighbours on a large scale. No growth priority is used - bothe neighbours will lose definition. A more advanced implementation can use several material parameters to define the nature of the transition: some transitions are very sharp in nature like with agriculture, other transitions can be very gradual, some transitions are patchy. Materials can have competing parameters, to determine which neighbour grows or has a shorter transition on one side. These parameters will need a way of specifying defaults by landclass.
3.0 - Fixes
-- a) - Fix seams at landclass borders. These are caused by different ground textures being stretched by different amounts. At the border, an incorrect mip-map level is looked up, causing a colour disontinuity in addition to the difference between landclasses. The reason the mip-map LoD is incorrect is because GPUs use 4 neighbouring pixels to figure out how fast texture coordinates change with respect to screenspace x and y (i.e. partial derivaitves), and use that information to pick a mip-map level. At a landlcass border, this calculation is incorrect.
-- b) Fix seams at borders caused by the current detiling function. This is due to the detiling function changing the amount textures are stretched, as well as messing with coordinates.
-- c) The solution to a) and b) is to use textureGrad() to lookup textures. It allows specifying partial derivatives. The partial derivatives for the normal texture coordinates are obtained by built-in funcions, and these need to be multiplied by each stretching factor, including different stretching inside conditionals. All future texture lookups that use custom coordinate scaling/manipulation need to use textureGrad. This fixes various signs of incorrect mip-map lod with distance and view angle (textures look stable/solid).
-- d) Fix ground textures being stretched out of proportion in the detiling function. This is caused by tile dimensions not being unequal and texture stretching.

WS30 effects and shaders:
Changelog:
ws30-ALS-ultra.frag:
- Ground textures lookups use their own coordinates separate from the landclass texture lookup.
- Partial derivatives dFdx and Dfdy are packed together in a vec4, so simple multiplication to scale can be done in 1 instruction. dFdx = s and t components. dFdy = p and q components. These must be scaled properly for ground texture access as ground texture stretching and detiling of tex coords mean textures are scaled differently.
- Added calculation of partial derivatives for texture coordinates used by the 5 non- base textures. dFdx() and dFdy() were called for nontrivial texture coordinate manipulation.
- New control randomise_texture_lookups added at top of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, in the development tools section. Setting this to 1 will do a stress test of ground texture array lookups. A fast random number generation function is used to assign each landclass 4 random textures from the ground texture array - this is done by . Performance will not be as bad in the full ALS port as some texture slots will better caching in memory - e.g. have 1 or a few variants.
- Possible optimisation: use a 2nd or 3rd texture array for some of the non-base texture slots that typically have 256, 512, or 1024 textures. The resolutions of these arrays should change based on the largest loaded texture size in the active regional definitions - this will allow taking full advantage of smaller texture sizes in some areas. The disadvantage is some texture duplication with more slots.
- Possible optimisation: offer the option to shrink textures by 50% or 25% - for texture slots that use large textures like base or mix slots.
- Very temporary - reduce procedural normal map features with photoscenery active without breaking profiling, as the inputs to shaders are effect defaults or placeholder (by request on ML).
----
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert:
- Start of conversion of geocentic world space xyz into lat/lon coords used for ground texture lookups. Currently commented out as it's unknown what model space coords are in (not geocentric it seems).
ws20-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- Add control for changing the ground texture array lookup function for debugging in case old compilers/GPUs have issues. tex_lookup_type: 0: normal( textureGrad(), 1: textureLod (manual Lod calculation), 2: texture() with no partial derivative adjustment.
- New get6_random_integers() will extract 6 limited random values from the full precision of a 32 bit random value.
- Old landclass_texel_size_m references are removed since textureSize() is used. There are no 'const in float' arguments that may cause issues on AMD compilers.
----
WS30-overlay effect (Inactive):
- ws30-overlay.eff (derived from terrain-overlay.eff). Technique no "4" is used for two passes. The 1st pass is a copy of the ALS ultra pass (technique no "5") from ws30.eff. The 2nd pass is the same as terrain-overlay.eff. The 2nd pass uses terrain- overlay.frag from WS2.
- grass-ALS.vert copied to ws30-ovelay-ALS.vert. To do: needs texture coords that don't change with tiles.
- terrain-overlay-ALS.geom copied to ws30-overlay-ALS.geom. To do: uses gl_PositionIn [i].xy for position in the horizontal plane - assumes z is vertical. Tile model space doesn't seem to match this.
- WS3 doesn't seem to have a way of switching references to terrain-overlay.eff (which inherits from terrain-default.eff) to the new ws3-overlay.eff (which needs to inherit from ws30.eff). The ws3-overlay.eff included /might/ just work without any other changes: the first pass is the WS3 als ultra settings pass, and the second overlay pass is unchanged from WS2 (the same terrain overlay shaders should probably work apart from texcoords and rawpos not being correct).
- Materials/base/materials-base.xml: ws30Road material: uncomment line declaring terrain-default as the effect. The target effect for ws30 roads is road-*.eff and it's added to ws30Road and ws30Freeway but commented out as it's not working currently.
- Misc: large scale transitions are turned on in ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag by default. Grow landclass borders with large scale transitions is now on by default.
----
Changes after the multi-texture support commit:
ws30-ALS-ultra.vert
- Added documentation: WS30 model space and z up space - for future people working on WS30, and people looking through shaders to rule out possibilities e.g. when fixing bugs, or interpreting visual bug reports.
ws30-ALS-landclass-search-functions.frag:
- For now, lookup_ground_texture_array() also looks up the relevant texture's index based on an integer.
- Add get_mixed_texel() - looks up texel for this fragment and any neighbors before mixing. Moves currently shared mixing code out of 3 fragment shaders.
Misc: changed indentation from mixed tabs/spaces to spaces in ws30-ALS-ultra frag and vert. The indentation can be changed again when the porting is complete.
ws30-ALS vert/frag and ws30-ALS-detailed vert/frag:
- Add varying for ground texture coordiante, currently set to gl_TexCoord[0]. Apply texture stretching dimensions in fragment shaders.
- Misc: varying rawPos is set to vec2 for now, as relPos.z+eye_alt might be faster. Misc: keep WS2 mixing logic for now , including turning off mixing via the alpha channel of the textures
----
Changes after sending material parameters in uniform arrays commit:
- Materials parameter for rock_strata is cast into an int so rock_strata==1 should work. Misc: Left over uniform for rock strata cleaned up.
- ws30-ALS-ultra.frag and ws30-ALS-detailed.frag: Add missing mat_shininess for photoscenery case .

WS30 terrain shaders: ws30-ALS-ultra.frag
- For power users looking to profile transitions on different GPUs: The test phase toggles and settings for different transition options are available at the start of ws30-ALS-ultra.frag, along with explanations, and how to get accurate profile results on different GPUs. Just need to change a few numbers, save, and debug menu > configure dev extensions > reload shaders to activate.
- Note: at a minimum, small scale transitions to remove the 'squareness' due to the landclass texture need to be used even on old GPUs.
- All transition options are off by default. ws30-ALS-ultra.frag is active when the terrain quality slider is set to Ultra. Start by turning one of small or large scale transitions.
- Texture mixing for small and large scale transitions don't work together, to reduce texture lookups. Turn one off when using the other.
- Landclasses with contrasting colours make transition issues more visble. The driver control panel texture filtering settings reduces issues with seams at landclass borders.
- ws30-ALS.frag is left untouched in this commit, for comparison and reviewing. ws30-ALS.frag is active when terrain quality slider is set High to Low.
Changes:
- Implement large scale transitions and small scale de-pixelisation of landclasses by searching the landclass texture. Several options and quality levels are available for profiling on different GPUs.
- There are fixes for multiple issues dealing with texture rendering.
