As opposed to simply leaving all values in the table, nodes can now "take"
values that they use to free up memory (e.g. "taking" input buffers if they're
used to produce an output buffer).
This is a fairly large change, expect regressions.
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)
Previously the non-keyframed value was stored as a static keyframe but this
introduced issues when an input was in a state of keyframes being enabled but
0 keyframes existing. Having a standard value makes much more sense.
Since all NodeInputs will generally only need their data type and default
value set once, we place it all into the constructor for cleaner and easier
to manage code.
This commit adds the background functionality of the render cache invalidating
whenever a footage's color space is changed. This includes when the project's
configuration is changed as well.
This was many changes that were largely fundamentally related. They included:
- More const modifiers to enforce read only node graphs
- Support for fragment and vertex shaders from the nodes
- Support for node code loaded externally (embedded into the binary)
- Fixed issue preventing two textures from being used in a shader
- Removed several unused functions and cleaned up code
- Fixed video media node misreading its matrix input
Since all Nodes have an output that provides all output values now, we now
never need to add an output from a Node derivative. These changes remove the
last of them and disable the ability to add more outputs from a derivative.
If Nodes only have the one output, we don't need to do so much differentiation
between them. Previous iteration used outputs as like a distinct function
within a Node (e.g. length output would return one result, buffer output would
produce a different result - each run different code to produce their results).
Now in this iteration, it's more accurate to say a Node is just one function
(which seems more appropriate for a node system anyway).
Since the nodes won't be holding any rendering data themselves in this system,
we may as well enforce some level of non-write access by setting all the
functions to const. They were already const-friendly, they just weren't
labelled as such.
Many changes were made throughout the codebase to support audio, these are
most of the small changes necessary.
The audio support still is not perfect. I still need to write in resampling
support. After that it should work correctly with all audio types.
commit
For testing the new iteration, the texture cache disk download was written
into the main thread instead of into the separate threads. Now they're back
in separate threads again.
Also I think some of these files probably should have been in the previous
commit.
The new rendering pipeline strives to simplify the nodes themselves as much
as possible and move much of the logic to an external rendering engine. This
change removes all of the responsibilities that no longer belong to the
nodes themselves and will soon be folded into the renderer.
Nodes were previously written to be "strongly typed" in that a parameter's
"type" enforced whether it could be connected to another. All code related
to that has now been removed since not only is it hard to maintain and
likely unnecessary, it's possible the nodes will work differently later on
anyway.
Rather than convoluting the MediaInput node, te MediaInput is now an abstract
base class that provides access to a Decoder and derived classes are
responsible for handling it
