- Removed the multiple return statements, as they can be problematic with older GLSL 120 compilers
- Removed debug flags
- Moved code to separate functions for readability
- Reduced the band size to 0.1 to make more use of the higher quality cascades
- Added overrides as parameter values for: water floor_colour (vec3 RBG colours. Range: 0 to 1. Defaults: old inland map colour, a blue ocean colour.), water_shallowness (Same as depth map texture. Range: 0 to 1. Defaults: 1.0 inland, 0.7 ocean). The corresponding texture lookup branches are also gated by these uniform flags for performance reasons.
- All non-ALS Effects have been removed (except generic ones from model-default and terrain-default).
- The rendering dialog has been reworked to accomodate the changes.
- All necessary properties have been added to graphics-properties.xml
- Five graphics presets have been added: Minimal, Low, Medium, High and Ultra.
- Some unused properties have been removed from defaults.xml
- Remove all Compositor Effects and Shaders.
- Unify the low-spec and ALS pipelines in a single pipeline called 'Classic'.
- Readd shadow mapping.
- Move the WS30 Effect and fragment shader out of the Compositor-specific directories.
Previously we required 6 shader attributes to pass
in all the required information for the building shader.
By using packing techniques this has been reduced to 4.
This should improve support for integrated graphics cards.
Previously the front and side faces of random/OSM buildings
had identical texture coordinates. This resulted in the sides
of buildings texture mapping being squeezed or stretched.
This change generates a separate texture mapping for the sides
of the buildings.
Previously there was very limited texture variations
as a given texture index was used for both the wall
and ceiling. Now these can be specified separately,
allowing for more variation in both STG defined and
random buildings.
Requires simgear commit 053bda26a43314a91b01b08cd4617da82f7ab807
Replace random buildings with one using proper instancing.
Also implement more control over rendering of random buildings.
see README.scenery for details.
