If a triangle edge is completely horizontal and moving in a positive X
direction, we were erroneously treating it as a top edge. This adds
a better check that accounts for those edges. :^)
By setting the clip plane normals' W coordinate to 1, we can skip two
coordinate retrievals and three additions. This works because the
Vector `.dot()` operation multiplies the W coordinates of both vectors.
We sat on a throne of lies: our `edge_function()` returned positive
values for _clockwise_ vertex rotation instead of _counter-clockwise_,
which was hidden by the fact that we were forcing everything into CW
rotation by an erroneous area comparison (`> 0` instead of `< 0`).
This simplifies our culling code significantly.
Three optimizations are applied:
1. If the list of vertices to clip is empty, return immediately after
clearing the output list.
2. Remember the previous vertex instead of recalculating whether it is
within the clip plane.
3. Instead of copying and swapping lists around, operate on the input
and output lists directly. This prevents a lot of `malloc`/`free`
traffic as a result of vector assignments.
This takes the clipping code CPU load from 3.9% down to 1.8% for
Quake 3 on my machine.
This adds a virtual base class for GPU devices located in LibGPU.
The OpenGL context now only talks to this device agnostic interface.
Currently the device interface is simply a copy of the existing SoftGPU
interface to get things going :^)
This introduces a new device independent base class for Images in LibGPU
that also keeps track of the device from which it was created in order
to prevent assigning images across devices.
This introduces a new abstraction layer, LibGPU, that serves as the
usermode interface to GPU devices. To get started we just move the
DeviceConfig there and make sure everything still works :^)
We now support generating top-left submatrices from a `Gfx::Matrix`
and we move the normal transformation calculation into
`SoftGPU::Device`. No functional changes.
We were transforming the vertices' normals twice (bug 1) and
normalizing them after lighting (bug 2). In the lighting code, we were
then diverting from the spec to deal with the normal situation, which
is now no longer needed.
This fixes the lighting of Tux in Tux Racer.
Previously the test determining whether to use texture maginifaction or
texture minification was reversed. This commit fixes the test and also
provides an early out of the sampler in case of texture magnification
since magnification does not make use of mipmaps.
This replaces the fixed point subpixel precision logic.
GLQuake now effectively renders artifact-free. Previously white/gray
pixels would sometimes be visible at triangle edges, caused by slightly
misaligned triangle edges as a result of converting the vertex window
coordinates to `int`. These artifacts were reduced by the introduction
of subpixel precision, but not completely eliminated.
Some interesting changes in this commit:
* Applying the top-left rule for our counter-clockwise vertices is now
done with simpler conditions: every vertex that has a Y coordinate
lower than or equal to the previous vertex' Y coordinate is counted
as a top or left edge. A float epsilon is used to emulate a switch
between `> 0` and `>= 0` comparisons.
* Fog depth calculation into a `f32x4` is now done once per triangle
instead of once per fragment, and only if fog is enabled.
* The `one_over_area` value was previously calculated as `1.0f / area`,
where `area` was an `int`. This resulted in a lower quality
reciprocal value whereas we can now retain floating point precision.
The effect of this can be seen in Tux Racer, where the ice reflection
is noticeably smoother.
There were some issues with the old code: we were saving the length of
the light vector but not actually using it anywhere, if we were dealing
with a zero-vector this could potentially divide by zero resulting in a
black fragment color, and we were erroneously using P2's length instead
of P1's length when P1's W coordinate is zero in the SGI arrow
operation.
This fixes some lighting bugs in Grim Fandango, but this probably
affects all lighting as well.
This fixes the issue where e.g. `299.97` would be cast to an integer
value of `299`, whereas the pixel's center would lie at `299.5` and
would then erroneously be excluded.
Currently, LibSoftGPU is still OpenGL-minded in that it uses a
coordinate system with the origin of `(0, 0)` at the lower-left of
textures, buffers and window coordinates. Because we are blitting to a
`Gfx::Bitmap` that has the origin at the top-left, we need to flip the
Y-coordinates somewhere in the rasterization logic.
We used to do this during conversion of NDC-coordinates to window
coordinates. This resulted in some incorrect behavior when
rasterization did not pass through the vertex transformation logic,
e.g. when calling `glDrawPixels`.
This changes the coordinate system to OpenGL's throughout, only to blit
the final color buffer upside down to the target bitmap. This fixes
drawing to the depth buffer directly resulting in upside down images.
