Detailed Description

Main system for managing Render Targets through the use of nodes.

All applications must at least define a workspace definition and create a workspace instance in order to start rendering.

Remarks

The CompositorManager2 works by defining definitions which tell how the instance will behave. The top down view is the following:

Workspace
- Node
  - Target
    - PASS_SCENE
    - PASS_QUAD
    - PASS_CLEAR
    - PASS_STENCIL
    - PASS_RESOLVE
- Shadow Node

A Node definition must be created first. Inside the Node Def. different passes can be defined including which targets they should render to. Once the definitions are set, a workspace instance must be created using addWorkspace and rendering will start automatically. Each definition is shared by all instances, and is assumed to be immutable (read only) for the life time of those objects.

: If you wish to change the definitions, you should destroy all instances first. In theory many changes can actually happen in real time without any harm, but that depends on how the code was written and thus the behavior is undefined.

A node has inputs (textures), local textures, and outputs. It can also directly global textures that are defined in a workspace definition. There a few basic rules:

Global Textures use the "global_" prefix. For example "global_myRT" is a global texture. Trying to create a Local texture with that name will throw.
Global Textures can't be used as node input nor output.
Textures that came as Input can be used as Output.
A node may have no Input nor Output.
Shadow Nodes can't have input, but can have output to be used with other nodes.

: Shadow Nodes are particular case of Nodes which are used for rendering shadow maps, and can only be references from a PASS_SCENE object; and will be executed when that pass is. After the pass is executed, its output can be used for other regular Nodes (i.e. for postprocessing), which enables the possibility of easily creating RSM (Reflective Shadow Maps) for Global Illumination calculations.

		uint8	vpModifierMask = `0x00`,
		uint8	executionMask = `0xFF`
	)

Main function to start rendering.

Creates a workspace instance based on a workspace definition.

Remarks: When rendering in stereo using split screen (or when the screen is split to support multiplayer) you can use viewportModifier, vpModifierMask and executionMask parameters to control how the entire workspace renders to a portion of the screen while using two (or more) workspaces without having to duplicate the nodes just to alter their viewport parameters.

: viewportModifier controls how to stretch the viewport in each pass, vpModifierMask controls which passes will ignore the stretching, and executionMask controls which passes get skipped.

: All passes have a default executionMask = 0xFF vpModifierMask = 0xFF except for clear passes which default to executionMask = 0x01 vpModifierMask = 0x00

: The reasoning behind this is that often you want to clear the whole renderTarget the first time (it's GPU-friendly to discard the entire buffer; aka vpModifierMask = 0), but the second time you don't want the clear to be executed at all to prevent overwritting the contents from the first pass (executionMask = 1).

: Example, stereo (split screen):
//Render Eye0 to the left side of the screen

m_workspaceEye0 = mgr->addWorkspace( sceneManager, renderTarget,

eyeCamera0, "MainWorkspace", true,

-1, Vector4( 0, 0, 0.5f, 1 ),

0x01, 0x01 );

//Render Eye1 to the right side of the screen

m_workspaceEye1 = mgr->addWorkspace( sceneManager, renderTarget,

eyeCamera1, "MainWorkspace", true,

-1, Vector4( 0.5f, 0, 0.5f, 1 ),

0x02, 0x02 );

: Example, split screen, multiplayer, 4 players (e.g. Mario Kart (R)-like games)
for( int i=0; i<4; ++i )

{

Vector4 vpModifier( (i % 2) * 0.5f, (i >> 1) * 0.5f, 0.25f, 0.25f );

m_workspace[i] = mgr->addWorkspace( sceneManager, renderTarget,

playerCam[i], "MainWorkspace", true,

-1, vpModifier,

(1 << i), (1 << i) );

}

Parameters

sceneManager	The SceneManager this workspace will be associated with. You can have multiple scene managers, each with multiple workspaces. Those workspaces can be set to render to the same final render target, regardless of scene manager (or not).
finalRenderTarget	The final RT where the workspace will be rendered to. Usually the RenderWindow. We need this pointer in order to correctly create RTTs that depend on the final target's width, height, gamma & fsaa settings. This pointer will be used for "connectExternal" channels (see CompositorWorkspaceDef::connectExternal) In theory if none of your nodes use width & height relative to final RT & you don't use connectExternal, this pointer could be null. Although it's not recommended nor explicitly supported.
defaultCam	Default camera to use when a camera name wasn't specified explicitly in a pass definition (i.e. PASS_SCENE passes). This pointer can be null if you promise to use all explicit camera names in your passes (and those cameras have already been created)
definitionName	The unique name of the workspace definition
bEnabled	True if this workspace should start enabled, false otherwise.
position	If there are multiple workspaces, specifies the order in which this compositor should be updated. i.e. "0" means this new workspace gets updated first. Note that subsequent calls will place other workspaces to be updated first. Typically you will want to update workspace that renders to the RenderWindow last (depending on what you do with RTs, some OSes, like OS X, may not like it). Defaults to -1; which means update last.
uavBuffers	Array of UAV Buffers that will be exposed to compositors, via the 'connect_buffer_external' script keyword, or the call CompositorWorkspaceDef::connectExternalBuffer
vpOffsetScale	The viewport of every pass from every node will be offseted and scaled by the following formula: left += vpOffsetScale.x; top += vpOffsetScale.y; width = vpOffsetScale.z; height = vpOffsetScale.w; This affects both the viewport dimensions as well as the scissor rect.
vpModifierMask	An 8-bit mask that will be AND'ed with the viewport modifier mask of each pass from every node. When the result is zero, the previous parameter "viewportModifier" isn't applied to that pass. This is useful when you want to apply a pass (like Clear) to the whole render target and not just to the scaled region.
executionMask	An 8-bit mask that will be AND'ed with the execution mask of each pass from every node. When the result is zero, the pass isn't executed. See remarks on how to use this for efficient Stereo or split screen. This is useful when you want to skip a pass (like Clear) when rendering the second eye (or the second split from the second player).

◆ addWorkspaceDefinition()

CompositorWorkspaceDef* Ogre::CompositorManager2::addWorkspaceDefinition ( const String & name )

Returns a new workspace definition.

The name must be unique, throws otherwise.

Remarks: Setting workspace def's connections must be done after all node definitions have been created

◆ createBasicWorkspaceDef()

		const ColourValue &	backgroundColour,
		IdString	shadowNodeName = `IdString()`
	)

Utility helper to create a basic workspace to get you out of the rush.

Advanced users will probably prefer to create the workspace definition using scripts or manipulating functions directly

Parameters

workspaceDefName	Name to give to the workspace definition. Must be unique
backgroundColour	Clear colour
shadowNodeName	Name of the shadow node. Leave blank if no shadows. Caller is supposed to have set the shadow node correctly
