disable pragmas that turn off specific warnings for MSVC.
Unfortunately it's presence is only checked in osg/Export header,
making other Export headers disable warnings no matter what, which is
kind of incoherent.
My fix adds #include <osg/Config> to every Export header. I've also
unified checking whether to disable warnings to current osg/Export
way:
#if defined(_MSC_VER) && defined(OSG_DISABLE_MSVC_WARNINGS).
Attachment contains all changed Export files in their original locations."
2: minor tweak for a DebugHUD drawn improperly case when multiple slave views shared one window. It now uses slave view viewport to correctly position DebugHUD.
3: deactivated ConvexPolyhedron notifications (they were accidentaly activated when you replaced osg::notify calls with OSG_NOTIFY macro). These warnings are useful only for shadow map developer working on shadow volume optimizations. So there is no sense in having them active all the time."
modifications of the osgShadow header naming styles as well. The
osgDB::Serializer header is also changed to add new Vec2 serializer
macros because of the needs of osgShadow classes. It should compile
fine on both Windows and Linux. But I have only done a few tests to
generate .osgb, .osgt and .osgx formats with these new wrappers."
up vector to setViewMatrixAsLookAt(..) codes in osgShadow. This will addresses previous issues that occured when look vectors
co-incided with the hard coded up vectors.
Fixes in StandardShadowMap.cpp & MinimalShadowMap.cpp were made for spotlight issues. There were cases when further located spotlights were not shadowing properly.
Small tweak in DebugShadowMap & StandardShadowMap.cpp to not limit shadow maps to texture2D (which should also allow texture2D arrays and cube maps). I simply replaced ptr to osg::Texture2D with pointer to osg::Texture. Interpretation of this member could be now changed with change of shaders in derived classes. This may be useful for guys who override LispSM or MinimalBoundsShadowMaps techniques. Could be useful for implementation of PerspectiveCascadedShadowMaps technique for example.
ConvexPolyhedron.cpp & DebugShadowMap.cpp contain debug HUD tweaks.
Change in ConvexPolyhedron.cpp overcomes the regression problem with color per primitive binding which caused that shadow volume outlines stopped to draw. I simply changed PER_PRIMITIVE to PER_PRIMITIVE_SET and it works again.
Other adition is dump method I added to DebugShadowMap which can be used in shadow debugging mode to dump current frame shadow volumes & scene to osg file. It could be then loaded into viewer and freely examined from different angles (which is difficult inside the application if shadow adopts to view and projection). "
"Soft shadow mapping is basically the same as hard shadow mapping beside that
it uses a different fragment shader.
So for me it makes sense that osgShadow::SoftShadowMap is derived from
osgShadow::ShadowMap, this makes it easier to maintain the two classes.
Additional SoftShadowMap also provides the same Debug methods as ShadowMap."
- set the resolution of the shadow map; it calls dirty() to
re-initialize at next update
- keep a list of Shader objects to use instead of the default ones, if
the list is empty, the default shaders are used
- explicitly create the Uniform variables, so that subsequent additions
that require more Uniforms can put them in a central place
- set a Light or LightSource to use explicitly for shadow casting,
allows multiple lights in the scene, with one casting shadows
There are two additions that do not ( yet ) function correctly, but in
the present usage they do not interfere with the regular usage of the
techique:
- support for using spotlights, it's using Light.spotCutoff to determine
if it's a spot-light and not point-light,
there is an error in the setup of either the shadow camera or the
texgen, most likely due to the direction of the spotlight, since the
position is being used just like in point or directional lights.
- creation of a debugHUD
the hud is created properly, ( the example included shows it ), but
it displays only white, there has been some discussion of displaying the
shadow map, but I could not find it, the addition of a simple fragment
shader with the appropriate color transform should get this going."
(a) some objects behind the camera can cast shadow
(b) object aboive the camera can cast shadow
then i fixed the shadow map orientation, now screen x coordinate alinged which improve the quality"
"I have adapted to osgShadow the soft shadow map technique described in "Efficient Soft-Edged Shadows Using Pixel Shader Branching" by Yury Uralsky, Chapter 17 of GPU Gems 2 (Matt Pharr ed. Addison-Wesley).
Here is my code in attachment: basically, it works in the same way as osgShadow/ShadowMap (core code is copied from it) but implements a specific GLSL shader for the soft rendering of penumbra.
I have tested it under Linux with a NVidia graphic card, but there should be no dependency on platform nor on the graphics driver (as far as they support GLSL 2). Screenshots attached show the current results (frame rate bound to v-sync, but the shader takes actually not much time)."
