* Replaced existing instancing test with TestInstanceNode, which demostrates how to use the new InstancedNode by changing the transform, mesh, and material of every instance periodically.
* The lower-level InstancedGeometry API rewritten: Users don't need to manage the number of instances they have and their indices. Instead, they can use addInstance() and removeInstance() to add and remove instances as desired. Unlike InstancedNode, InstancedGeometry requires all Geometries to have the same mesh and material, but they can have different transforms.
* Instancing.glsllib now requires the InstanceData to have world transforms instead of world view transforms. As a consequence, users of instancing must specify in the material the world parameters ViewProjectionMatrix and ViewMatrix instead of ProjectionMatrix.
- Add instanced geometry support. This is performed by uploading 4 vertex buffers each containing 4 floats. The top 3 rows are the world matrix and the bottom row is a quaternion representing the normal matrix. Hence, both unshaded and lit geometries can be rendered through instancing.
See Instancing.glsllib for more information as well as the comment in LwjglRenderer.
One can now mark a texture param in a material definition as linear by using -Linear at the end of the parameter declaration (case insensitive).
An Image bound to a material texture param in a linear color space will have its ColorSpace set to linear when bound to the material by mat.setTexture("name", texture);
Added the -LINEAR flag to all texture param that needed it in stock materials (lighting.j3md, terrainLighting.j3md, different Filter materials).
- All images constructors now take the isSrgb flag as a parameter, all engine classes has been changed to accommodate the change, old constructors has been deprecated for backward compatibility. One should always ask himself in which color space is an image if dealing with gamma correction
- Gamma correction has been defaulted to false in the appSettings
added a WindowListener in the constructor that overrides the windowsClosing method to dispose the TestChooser dialog.
code tested with positive result for issue#85.
