When loading the SceneGraph for the first time all modules are loaded
into a map and the parent dependency to another map. After all modules
and ScenegraphNodes have been loaded into the map, each module is loaded
in dependency order starting from the root node.
Added functionality:
- New class renderablesphericalgrid is repurposed code from powerscaledsphere class.
Due to z-buffer issues used as reference grid to confirm planetary orbits are correct.
This has been a major problem as prior we had no visual reference.
Now we have a Galactic-, Celestial- and Ecliptic-coordinate grid.
To this also added separate shader: grid_vs.glsl / grid_fs.glsl
These grids have a static-rotational matrix derived from partiview (thanks to Brian)
since spice req. to-from frame to compute rotational matrix.
Time dependency:
- Added struct RuntimeData - which for now only contains openspace time and is passed to all renderables
- All renderables accept runtimeData, keep private reference and use for computation of rotational matrix
- This obviously carries corresponding changes to Scenegraph and ScenegraphNode.
Spicemanager:
- Added function that more easily provides access to rotational matrix used in spice
(used in renderableplanet for computing planetary objects spin around axis)
Ephemeris-classes:
- Now compute ephemeris from spice based on timeepoch in runtimedata
TODO: once z-buffer fixed - set ephemeris correctly as meters (not kilometers)
Renderengine:
- Advances time with the advanceTime method in RuntimeData struct
ISSUES:
- Our Y axis NOT same as SPICE or star-catalogue, all renderables rotated now 90deg, needs redefinition,
lots of debugging and major headaches before this conclusion.
- Depth buffer needs to be fixed in order to properly place planets.
- Spice kernels have finite time-range, when time stops - simulation ends - ugly fix: reset time to zero.
Possible fix: kernels de431 (part 1-2) cover huge timespan and most likely have functions to extrapolate time,
drawback is that they are 1,7 gb each.
TODO:
- Compute and draw dynamic ephemeries for each renderable. Either do full year sweep then update for each point or
create a tail of linesegments for each planet. Dont know yet how to do this, would like spicephemeris to be
sub-class of Renderable (have own render() method) - good/bad?
- Fixed the ABuffer rendering for intersecting volumes
- Added keyboard callback for toggling renderables
- Changed textures from ClampToBorder to ClampToEdge
- Fixed transferfunctions to clamp to edge instead of fade to black
- Moved all OpenSpace headers to separate include directory
- Added OpenSpaceTests binary with OPENSPACE_HAVE_TESTS define
- Added CMake setting of BASE_DIR
- Added OpenSpace initial tests for SceneGraph and SceneGraphNodes
- Added OpenSpace initial tests for psc and pss
- Restructured OpenSpace so no GL functions are called in constructors
to make the classes testable
- Todo: Make the base dir possible to set through command line argument
and configuration file
