All transparency-related config has been reverted back to how it was in
2020.3 for maximum compatibility. This is not ideal for HDR but we will
figure something out.
In HDR, transparent AC objects must be marked with model-transparent or
model-combined-transparent. glTF objects are automatically assigned the
correct Effects.
- Terrain and clouds and now rendered on the envmap, with correct aerial
perspective.
- Each face is rendered on a separate frame to help with performance.
- All faces are updated every 1.5 minutes. This can be changed through a
property.
We also now pre-expose our lighting before writing to the HDR buffers.
This solves some precision issues and prevents the Sun from producing
infinite values.
- New atmosphering rendering technique based on my own work.
- Attempt to fix some remaining transparency issues.
- Use a luminance histogram for auto exposure.
- Add support for clustered shading.
- Add WS 2.0 shaders.
- Add 3D cloud shaders.
- Add orthoscenery support.
There are 3 relevant render bins for aircraft models:
- 0: default
- 10: depth sorted, automatically selected for transparent objects.
- 111: depth sorted, explicitly set by some transparent effects (hud, glass)
The model-default effect does not set <render-bin> on purpose, to allow
automatic selection of bin 0 or 10. So my second patch which added <render-bin>
to model-default is wrong.
It is only model-transparent which should explicitly set bin 111
to interact well with hud/glass effects.
- model-combined-transparent is deprecated.
- model-transparent can be used to let some rendering pipelines know that
an object is transparent.
- In the case of Classic, model-transparent just inherits from model-default
and the object is rendered normally.
Talking with Emilian about this commit, we came to the conclusion we don't want share uniform between .eff file
This reverts commit 91a6a27f32ee5f79e1d7e0d4570e879a902de58f.
