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.
- 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.
- The G-Buffer layout has been redesigned to be 96 bits per pixel. There are 24
unused bits that can be used for extra material parameters later (like
clearcoat).
- Add better debug views for the G-Buffer.
- Use octahedron normal encoding. This yields the same results as the previous
method but uses 16 bits less.
- Use rg11fb10f for the environment mapping cubemaps.
- Tweak the shadow mapping parameters and add a colored debug mode.
- Only render shadow maps for objects that inherit from model-default.eff or
model-pbr.eff instead of having a fallback Effect. Now transparent objects
should be ignored (if they are marked as such with model-transparent or
similar).
- Remove the separate occlusion texture. Now the PBR Effect expects a single
texture where R=occlusion, G=roughness and B=metallic.
- 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.
Talking with Emilian about this commit, we came to the conclusion we don't want share uniform between .eff file
This reverts commit 91a6a27f32ee5f79e1d7e0d4570e879a902de58f.
This should help those checking out models in fgviewer
To enable effects in fgviewer run it with:
fgviewer --prop /sim/rendering/shaders/quality-level -1
Also fix random buildings not showing up when model shader was set to 0 and generic was enabled.

Effects/model-combined.eff fix techniques numbering. Make active under rembrandt too. add model-combined-deferred as a stub for now for specific
Rembrandt use.
Users of model-combined with normalmaps should change the technique number to 9, and duplicate that entry for technique 8.
Fix some longstanding png warnings. Provide null_reflectdir.png for model-combined
This should fix part of bug #726

Add a technique that initialize the buffers of the Rembrandt renderer
(use Multi Render Target)
Renumber techniques that depends on old technique 10 (now 11) of model-default
The overriding of the color mode uniform in the default model effect
wasn't working. It's difficult to override the individual properties
of techniques, especially if their names aren't unique. So, I changed
the model-default effect to use a parameter for the color-mode
uniform; material-off.eff and material-diffuse.eff override that.
Use two-pass rendering for some shaders to reduce the cost of expensive shaders.
Implement some material animations using a shader uniform.
Eliminate use of gl_FrontFacing. It's too buggy on ATI/ Macintosh.
