Improves minor issues with frame queue implemented in earlier commit. Also links
ViewerWindow with the queue and a separate timer to make it much smoother.
Rather than have to decode EXRs and display them in the span of one frame,
decode into memory ahead of time so that they're ready for upload. Has the
potential to speed up playback by about 5-6x.
A huge optimization that ensures only the parts of a node graph that have
changed get pushed to the renderer. For thread-safety, the node graph is
copied elsewhere so that users can make changes asynchronously and the graph
can update when its threads are ready. Up until now, if an input value changed,
every node's values would be re-copied, or worse, if a connection was changed,
the entire graph would be recopied. This has been negligible in testing since
we've been largely testing with small graphs, but for massive projects, it's
important that this be as optimized as possible.
This system was kind of janky anyway. It makes more sense ultimately for the
audio management classes to contain the file handle rather than the renderer.
Implements an extra widget to display images on a separate monitor. Both
viewers have separate display color controls since different monitors may
conform to different standards/transforms.
Several things are accomplished in this commit, including:
- Use OIIO instead of our own functions for pixel format conversions
(cleaner code/less for us to maintain)
- Fold all PixelService functions into the PixelFormat class
(cleaner code)
- Moved OpenGL pixel definitions to OpenGL classes and out of the
global classes.
- Add support for RGB buffers as well as RGBA (optimization)
Improves viewer appearance and performance. Rather than using a timer roughly
set to the sequence's frame rate to update the viewer, the viewer synchronizes
itself to the display's refresh rate resulting in much smoother playback.
functions
Indexing is a lengthy process and had a high chance of getting RenderWorkers
stuck doing it rather than being responsive to cache requests. This commit
introduces a system where workers never index media, but instead signal that
media is not ready to their RenderBackends which ensure that the media gets
indexed and re-queues the affected frames when those indexes are ready.
context
More intuitive code flow and allows the user to undock the viewer (which
forcibly destroys and recreates the context) and the viewer will handle
creation of the new texture in said new context.
