  • GlslProg/VboMesh Update

    GlslProg/VboMesh Update

    This is a somewhat large update to the inner working of GlslProg and a smaller update to the inner workings of Batch and VboMesh. Much of the public facing interface hasn't changed at all.

    The highlights in GlslProg are:

    • Clean up of caching variables. We now store Uniforms as a unified struct, same with attributes, uniform blocks, and transform feedback varyings.
    • Uniforms now have a CPU-side cache so as to not re-buffer uniform values that haven't changed.
    • We don't lazily initialize cache variables anymore. All of the above are cached during initialization so as to mitigate OpenGL get* operations.
    • Using templated type checking for uniform functions.
    • Added multiple uniform type overloads.
    • Added public facing getters for all of the new structs of info. Added public facing const pointer find methods for the new structs.

    The highlights in Batch and VboMesh are:

    • Batch - removed initVao logic to centralize Buffer/GlslProg Vao creation inside vboMesh, in buildVao function.
    • attribs that have a size greater than 4 now initialize a vao correctly. For instance, sending a mat4 up to the gpu.

    Also changed:

    • Cloth Simulation sample updated. Found a bug with AMD GPUs that wasn't allowing two TFO's, which is in progress. However, I made the sample work on all platforms including AMD until by using gl::bindBufferBase until AMD fixes the problem.
    • Changed ConstantStrings.h/.cpp to ConstantConversions.h/.cpp to include other conversions such as size of conversions.

  • Optional GStreamer video playback support on MSW.

    Optional GStreamer video playback support on MSW.

    This PR adds optional support for the GStreamer player under MSW 64bit through the CMake build system backend. It has only been tested on a VM running Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015 so I m putting it here in case someone would like to give it a proper try.

    You will need to have GStreamer installed and available on the environment in order for this to work. The latest version as of now is 1.12.4. You will need gstreamer-1.0-devel-x86_64-1.12.4.msi and gstreamer-1.0-x86_64-1.12.4.msi .

    Choose the complete installation when prompt in order to get all necessary GStreamer plugins installed.

    Once the installation is complete you should add the GStreamer installation bin and lib paths to your PATH env variable. By default these should be C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\bin and C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\lib

    To enable it you will need to generate the VS files for Cinder with the following:

    cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DCINDER_MSW_USE_GSTREAMER=1

    For testing you can build the QuickTimeBasic sample by generating VS project files through:

    cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"

  • Glad OpenGL extensions loader support for MSW and Linux

    Glad OpenGL extensions loader support for MSW and Linux

    This PR will replace glLoad with the GLAD extension loader, allowing us to add OpenGL v4.6 features to Cinder. glLoad has not been updated in a while, so we're looking for an alternative.

    When the GLAD files are generated without additional extensions, Cinder users will be forced to create a RendererGl of the correct version like so: CINDER_APP( MyApp, RendererGl( RendererGl::Options().version( 4, 6 ) ) ) to use the desired features.

    To prevent confusion, however, we should add commonly used extensions when generating the GLAD files. I've added a minimal set of extensions, enough to make Cinder work out of the box. Before accepting this PR, it would be smart to discuss what extra extensions we might need.

    GLAD features a webservice that makes it extremely easy to update the source files. See glad/glad.h, which is the main header of the loader. At the top, you'll find the exact settings used to create the files. If we want to add additional extensions, use the provided information as a starting point for the webservice and generate a new header.

    An alternative to GLAD is FlextGL, which requires Python to generate the files. It would allow us to automate the process, if we're Python savvy, that is. But I'd say that GLAD's webservice is a much easier alternative which does not require us to install any additional development software.

    The Linux version has not been tested and probably needs a few fixes to work. However, I have included the required GLX files, so this should not be too hard.

    glNext: Cylinder weirdness

    I moved the advanced deferred sample into a nifty pentagonal room using geom::Cylinder. I'm getting some weird banding from it and a weird stripe sometimes. In the screenshots, you'll see that the floor and ceiling reflect OK, but the walls do not. Check out the debug view where it's just the normals. You can see a weird strip occuring. I'm using the same shader to render everything to the G-buffer, so it's definitely something weird with just this one shape.

  • Upgrade CMake

    Upgrade CMake

    There are a few updates I'd like to make to the cmake files, in order to make it easier for the user (and or a package management system) to control the cinder build via typical cmake configuration options. Two examples being the control of the used c++ standard for which CMAKE provides the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD variable since cmake 3.1 or the hardcoded usage of MT (https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/issues/2116)

    I think that would also be a good time to upgrade the minimal required cmake version, as 2.8 is really old and a lot of things have become easier since then.

    I wanted to ask, what an acceptable baseline would be. To give a short overview: VS2019 currently ships with 3.15, Ubuntu 18.04 with cmake 3.10, Ubuntu16.04 with 3.5. Travis uses 3.12. I have no idea about macos, but generally it is very easy to install a newer version of cmake on any system.

    Depending on whether Ubuntu 16.04 is still a common target, I'd recommend 3.5 or 3.10 (among other things, cmake 3.8 adds the cxx_std_14 / 17 target properties which are "nice to have" but not critical).

  • Toolchain Requirements for Linux

    Toolchain Requirements for Linux

    I wanted to extend the build matrix for Linux on Travis CI, and was wondering what toolchains / to versions cinder aims to support.

    For example, the cmake files claim to require only cmake 2.8, Ubuntu 14.04 however comes with 2.8.12, so 2.8 seems overly restrictive. The Travis-CI images come with preinstalled 3.9, and the dependency script installs 3.2. The situation with the compilers is similarly unclear. Is gcc supposed to be supported at all? Which version?

  • User-defined array uniforms cannot be found

    User-defined array uniforms cannot be found

    Updating a block sample to glNext latest, I faced some uniform problems. My mat4 array uniform would not be recognized, and the data would never reach the gpu. AFAIK, the problem is that glGetActiveUniform appends '[0]' to the array uniform names, which are stored as is. Later when findUniform is called, no match is found.

    Previously, findUniform would call glGetUniformLocation directly, which would still work because locations "can be retrieved by using the name of the array, or by using the name appended by "[0]". http://docs.gl/gl3/glGetUniformLocation

    I did temporarily fix this problem by storing the name without '[0]':

    inline bool ends_with( std::string const & value, std::string const & ending )
    {
        if( ending.size() > value.size() ) return false;
        return std::equal( ending.rbegin(), ending.rend(), value.rbegin() );
    }
    
    Uniform uniform;
    uniform.mName           = name;
    if( ends_with( name, "[0]" ) ) {
        uniform.mName = uniform.mName.substr( 0, uniform.mName.length() - 3 );
    }
    

    I'm not sure yet what the optimal solution would be.

    Note that the new mUniforms is modified in several places: https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/blob/glNext/src/cinder/gl/GlslProg.cpp#L735 https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/blob/glNext/src/cinder/gl/GlslProg.cpp#L275 https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/blob/glNext/src/cinder/gl/GlslProg.cpp#L343 https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/blob/glNext/src/cinder/gl/GlslProg.cpp#L364

  • Emscripten support!

    Emscripten support!

    Opening last PR to finally get Emscripten working!

    Should be considered alpha state - still needs to be tested a little more since things were hand-imported for simplicity. If you'd like to help test you can of course pull this PR or my branch of Cinder. Generate and read the docs for the full details, but in short, with the exception of sample building, you can follow ChaoticBob's old instructions and from there, it's like a normal CMake based desktop project. See <repo>/samples/_emscripten for sample CMake files you can use.

    Note that audio stuff is still somewhat in flux.

    Also should note that most of the core emscripten stuff is header only - will move some stuff to implementation files at a later point.

    Any changes / fixes going forward will go to this PR

    1. Undefine linux if it is defined. This fixes bugs in WSL environments
    2. Update ImGUI to the Docking latest version of the Docking branch
    3. Remove the forcing of /MT under MSVC compilation -- causes problems with other libraries and linking
    4. Set /SUMBYSTEM:WINDOWS under MSVC compilation -- Otherwise the main cinder app definition won't work as it implements WinMain (IIRC), not the default main function, causing compiler errors in MSVC
