GlslViewer 3.0.1

NOTE: To use the Windows build, please download FFmpeg 4.4 and copy bin\*.dll alongside glslViewer.exe.

Highlights

• Migrating from ADA to VERA framework which incorporates lot of geometry operations from HILMA on top of a new app API similar to P5js.
• Adding Geometry buffers for deferred rending, and screenspace techniques such us SSAO, SSR and Volumetric Scattering Lights through LYGIA

• lot of tinny fixes in preparation for the Shader Prototyping Workshop

What's Changed

• Fixed missing import preventing build on Arch Linux by @matthewflegg in #269
• tools: Reduced some common duplicate code by @tcoyvwac in #275
• fix: (ADA) Prefer classic variable declaration by @tcoyvwac in #279
• fix: (VERA) Prefer smart pointers over raw pointers by @tcoyvwac in #277
• Hide glslViewer from desktop menus by @jnsh in #281
• replace ADA w VERA by @patriciogonzalezvivo in #283
• Fix: Update .gitmodules to a public https-url by @tcoyvwac in #285
• sandbox: Prefer flattened switch / case style to if-statements by @tcoyvwac in #287
• Fix: if statement has empty body by @martinleopold in #290
• in general, iron out some bugs that were causing unexpected crashes
• We changed the way glslViewer console terminal manages colors that now prevents it from changing the environment colors once it is closed.
• Fix some issues regarding the plot tool

GlslViewer 2.1.2

This release is polish some of the features and milestones of v2.1.0 focusing on UI/UX.

Note: To use the Windows build, please download FFmpeg 4.4 and copy bin\*.dll alongside glslViewer.exe.

Mayor changes:

• more clean and minimal color and layout of the console command
• display source code line error tested on M1 Apple, X86/ARM Linux.
• Adding GIF/MP4 recording through a pipe to ffmpeg
• solving some random console issues related to uncatched keys
• Adding scrolling on the cout console.

Full Changelog: 2.1.1...2.1.2

GlslViewer 2.1.1

To use the Windows build, please download FFmpeg 4.4 and copy bin\*.dll alongside glslViewer.exe.

Full Changelog: 2.1.0...2.1.1

GlslViewer 2.1.0

This is a minor big release with focus on UI/UX. When ncurses is found (MacOS and Linux) will compile a more intuitive interface for the command console.

Note: To use the Windows build, please download [FFmpeg 4.4][ffmpeg] and copy bin\*.dll alongside glslViewer.exe.

What's Changed

• Fix windows build in ncurses branch by @admsyn in #264
• Ncurses by @patriciogonzalezvivo in #266
• suggestions
• autocompletions
• go up/down your command history
• uniforms,on shows a list of active uniforms and their values
• histogram,on have been renamed as plot,histogram, in order to reuse and extend the plotting are for other purposes
• Fps and Ms time plotting have been added as plot,fps and plot,ms
• stream textures (videos and PNG sequence) now display a percentage bar when visualize with textures,on
• more control to streams have been added giving the possibility to start|stop|restart the stream as well change the speed.
• On errors show a snipped of the source code where the error occur (tested on Apple M1 only)
• When running with OSC port open it's visualize on the command prompt, suggesting the working behavior of OSC messages converted on to commands
• the help commands have been splitted between formula and description. When help is executed without arguments prints a list of trigger commands, while help,<command> prints the formula and the description.

Full Changelog: 2.0.5...2.1.0

GlslViewer 2.0.5

To use the Windows build, please download FFmpeg 4.4 and copy bin\*.dll alongside glslViewer.exe.

Full Changelog: 2.0.4...2.0.5

Fixes & optimizations:

• fixing SH/cubemap issue
• generalizing holoplay.h for any kind of quilt/lenticular

New Features:

• Streams speed and play/stop control
• Access to N number of previous frames on streams

This new features introduce new uniforms and define flags to the current schema.

uniform sampler2D   u_tex0;
#ifdef STREAMS_PREVS
uniform sampler2D   u_tex0Prev[STREAMS_PREVS];
#endif
uniform vec2        u_tex0Resolution;
uniform float       u_tex0Time;
uniform float       u_tex0Duration;
uniform float       u_tex0CurrentFrame;
uniform float       u_tex0TotalFrames;
uniform float       u_tex0Fps;

This allows for interesting time explorations with video like slow motions or seamless loops

Full Changelog: 2.0.3...2.0.4

GlsViewer 2.0.3

• Skip light shadow map when is not call in the shader as u_lightShadowMap;
• Add doubleBuffers (as u_doubleBuffer[NUMBER] branched by DOUBLE_BUFFER_[NUMBER])
• Half/Float precision FBO on WASM
• Fixed size buffers by comments. Ex: uniform sampler2D u_buffer0; // 512x512
• Adding uniform bool u_cameraChange to flag when camera change position
• Continuous zoom, drag for 3D scenes
• Adding doubleBuffers examples

GlslViewer 2.0.0

• Major rearch. Splitting framework into ADA library. Which internally compiles GLFW and other GL dependencies
• Change to use CMake for consistency across platforms
• Cross compilation to WASM using emscripten
• Binnary PLYs, OSC, Audio Textures and Video are now optative features
• Using Liblo for OSC to have 6 digits precision after the floating point

Special thanks to:

• @sp-bertrand-carre and @mihaisebea-gl for ironing out the windows compilation
• @bespsm for cleaning the memory management of stream textures and introducing Audio textures
• @ben-hansske and @anncxx for multi-thread frame recording
• @ak-1 for improving the mouse behaviour
