This should fix the horrid frame rate dependent behavior of the view
model.
They are also in their own descriptor set so they can be easily shared
between pipelines. This has been verified to work for Draw.
Smashing everything in the process :P (need to work on the C side).
However, while bindless is supposedly good for performance, the biggest
gain this will bring is portability: the texture counts are
automatically limited to what the hardware can handle, and the reliance
on push descriptors is removed (though they were nice and did help get
things up and running).
My VersaPro doesn't support more than 32 per-stage samplers (lavapipe).
This is a small part of getting Vulkan to run on lavapipe and even in
itself is rather incomplete.
Standard quake has just linear, but the modding community added inverse,
inverse-square (raw and offset (1/(r^2+1)), infinite (sun), and
ambient (minlight). Other than the lack of shadows, marcher now looks
really good.
This gets the shaders needed for creating shadow maps, and the changes
to the lighting pipeline for binding the shadow maps, but no generation
or reading is done yet. It feels like parts of various systems are
getting a little big for their britches and I need to do an audit of
various things.
Loading is broken for multi-file image sets due to the way images are
loaded (this needs some thought for making it effecient), but the
Blender environment map loading works.
They're unlit (fullbright, but that's nothing new for quake), but
working nicely. As a bonus, sort out the sky pass (forced to due to the
way command buffers are used).
That was... easier than expected. A little more tedious that I would
have liked, but my scripting system isn't perfect (I suspect it's best
suited as the output of a code generator), and the C side could do with
a little more automation.
Other than dealing with shader data alignment issues, that went well :).
Nicely, the implementation gets the explicit scaling out of the shader,
and allows for a directional flag.
Light styles and shadows aren't implemented yet.
The map's entities are used to create the lights, and the PVS used to
determine which lights might be visible (ie, the surfaces they light).
That could do with some more improvements (eg, checking if a leaf is
outside a spotlight's cone), but the concept seems to work.
It's not used yet as work needs to be done to better support generic
entities, but this is the next step to real-time lighting (though, to be
honest, I expect it will be too slow to be usable).
Static lights are yet to come (so the screen is black most of the time),
but dynamic lights work very nicely (and look very good) despite the
falloff being incorrect.
While I could reconstruct the position from the screen coords and depth,
this is easier and good enough for now. Reconstruction is an
optimization thing.
Lighting doesn't actually do lights yet, but it's producing pixels.
Translucent seems to be working (2d draw uses it), and compose seems to
be working.
