Do some intersection tests on the CPU so that the silhouette render
passes only have to draw models/patches that might actually contribute
to silhouettes, saving the CPU and GPU cost of rendering more objects
than necessary.
This was SVN commit r15483.
Change the shader itself so that the effects look nicer and are more
consistent across settings.
Rework the water mesh generation (simpler system). Fix a few issues.
May work oddly with Atlas since I haven't been able to compile yet.
Refs #1875 (maybe fix), Fixes#2077 (I'll assume it does), Fixes#2114
(assumption again), refs #48.
This was SVN commit r15473.
Previously we had a single culling frustum based on the main camera, and
any object outside the frustum would never get rendered, even if it
should actually contribute to shadows or reflections/refractions. This
caused ugly pop-in effects in the shadows and reflections while
scrolling.
Extend the renderer to support multiple cull groups, each with a
separate frustum and with separate lists of submitted objects, so that
shadows and reflections will render the correctly culled sets of
objects.
Update the shadow map generation to compute the (hopefully) correct
bounds and matrices for this new scheme.
Include terrain patches in the shadow bounds, so hills can cast shadows
correctly.
Remove the code that tried to render objects slightly outside the camera
frustum in order to reduce the pop-in effect, since that was a
workaround for the lack of a proper fix.
Remove the model/patch filtering code, which was used to cull objects
that were in the normal camera frustum but should be excluded from
reflections/refractions, since that's redundant now too.
Inline DistanceToPlane to save a few hundred usecs per frame inside
CCmpUnitRenderer::RenderSubmit.
Fixes#504, #579.
This was SVN commit r15445.
BoundingSphere is similar to a bounding box, but more spherical.
SOverlaySphere is useful for visualising BoundingSphere (it's quite
inefficient and should only be used for debug functionality).
Normalise the camera frustum clipping planes, so that IsSphereVisible
gives the correct result.
This was SVN commit r15261.
Replace unifont with CFont and CFontManager, since the h_mgr interface
was
needlessly inconvenient.
Load the font textures through CTextureManager, to support dynamic
reloading (e.g. when resetting GL state - see #741).
Add CFontMetrics as a convenient wrapper for code that just wants to
measure text.
Fixes#1117.
This was SVN commit r14016.
This fixes an error with autostart and smoothlos=true, where the system
defines were being accessed before the first rendered frame.
This was SVN commit r13923.
Support conditional expressions in shader effect XML files.
Consolidate fixed-function model rendering into the shader system.
Remove lots of now-obsolete renderer code.
Move shader defines from std::map to new class with interned data, for
performance.
Move texture from model into material.
Alleviate singletonitis.
Remove obsolete lodbias setting.
Remove unused terrain shadow transparency.
This was SVN commit r11423.
Add textured line overlay rendering.
Change terrain height calculations to be triangulation-dependent for
improved accuracy.
Add triangulation-dependent terrain normal function.
Support separate S/T wrap modes for textures.
Rename CVector2D_Maths since it no longer conflicts with simulation
CVector2D.
Coalesce freed chunks in vertex buffers, to avoid excessive
fragmentation.
Add some things to help debug vertex buffer allocation a little.
This was SVN commit r9929.
Add shadow filtering (PCF) option.
Fix ugly shadow saturation in old lighting mode.
Fix fancy water shader.
Fix camera matrix computation.
Support scissoring of camera frustum.
Optimise vertex skinning.
Inline various matrix functions.
Support filtering of the list of submitted models before a rendering
pass, for more precise culling.

Use scissoring when generating reflection/refraction textures.
Skip reflection/refraction texture generation when no water is visible.
Render alpha-blended objects differently (fixes#434).
Reduce shadow swimming effects.
