Change 3310176 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Merging CL 3233886: AMD HDR support (requires r.AMDSupportsHDRDisplayOutput=1 in ini).
Update to AGS 5.0.5.
Partial code tidy up.
Change 3310187 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Preserve constant expressions rather than always casting after translating a material attribute. Losing the notion of constant means we can't correctly detect used properties and falsely enable e.g. PDO. Happened because of the incorrect component masks in BreakMaterialNodes which then had to be downcast to the correct type which is done as an inline fragment rather than swizzle expression.
#jira UE-41594
Change 3310215 on 2017/02/17 by Chris.Bunner
Prevent SpeedTree node compiling for skeletal meshes (not supported as uses more UV sets than available).

Preparing TM_Shadermodels map for automation
Change 3328222 on 2017/03/01 by Chris.Bunner
Prevent decals from drawing in separate translucency pass. Whilst user control and material relevance were already removed, if the flag was checked before being disabled (by swapping to decal domain) this was still being read in the render loop, now explicitly ignores decals.

[Copy] Changing movable skylight properties no longer affects static draw lists
Change 3333693 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Added 'r.AOListMeshDistanceFields' which dumps out mesh distance fields sorted by memory size, useful for directing content optimizations
Change 3333705 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Mesh distance fields are now 8 bit fixed point by default, but can be changed back to 16 bit floating piont with a project setting.
* 8 bit uses half memory but introduces error for thin surfaces or large meshes.
Change 3333721 on 2017/03/06 by David.Hill
DecalProxy:
Copy float FadeScreenSize to FDeferredDecalProxy for use in the render thread. This avoids pointer chasing to the UDecalComponent (game thread component).
Change 3333772 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Scene motion blur data is only updated for the main renderer frames. Fixes scene captures and planar reflections breaking object motion blur.
Change 3333790 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Mesh distance field generation uses Embree, for a 2.5x speedup

Change 3333822 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Moved mesh distance field code into MeshDistanceFieldUtilities.cpp
* Moved FMeshUtilities to its own header so the 8k line MeshUtilites.cpp file can be further split up

Non-editor compile fix
Change 3333836 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Workaround for gobal distance field volume textures being bloated by 4x on PS4 due to the recommended tiling modes. They now use a 2d tiling mode which avoids the bloat, saving 96Mb.
Change 3333843 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Added OcclusionExponent to skylight component
* Useful for brightening up indoors without losing contact shadows as MinOcclusion does

Change 3333857 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Clear light attenuation for local lights with a quad covering their screen extents
* Clearing the entire light attenuation buffer costs .1ms on PS4. This optimization lowers the minimum cost of a shadow casting light from .15ms -> .03ms.
* Shadowed lights in Fortnite with 25 lights 3.7ms -> 1.42ms on PS4
Change 3333860 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Flush deferred deletes when reallocating distance field atlas to reduce peak memory
Change 3333861 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Disable all distance field features on Intel cards as HD 4000 hangs in the RHICreateTexture3D call to allocate the large atlas
Change 3333869 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Volumetric Fog using a volume texture mapped to the camera frustum
* Volumetric fog can be enabled on an Exponential Height Fog component with additional controls
* Lights have a VolumetricScatteringIntensity
* New cvars r.VolumetricFog, r.VolumetricFog.GridPixelSize, r.VolumetricFog.GridSizeZ, r.VolumetricFog.DepthDistributionScale
* Lighting features supported:
* Directional light with CSM and a light function
* Point / spot lights without shadows / light functions / IES profiles
* Skylight with occlusion from distance fields
* Analytical height fog covers the view range past where the volumetric fog ends
* Temporal reprojection is used on the volumetric fog scattering and extinction to achieve stability
* Translucency integrates properly into volumetric fog
* Height fog StartDistance is not supported by volumetric fog and should be set to 0.
Change 3333894 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Initialize GDummyVolumetricFogGlobalDataUniformBuffer outside of parallel rendering
Change 3333902 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright

[Copy] Fixed volumetric fog trying to render light functions for a point light
Change 3333908 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy] Volumetric materials
* Added new material domain Volume, which can output Scattering, Absorption and Emissive. All properties are in world space densities.
* Particle systems using the Volume domain are voxelized based on their ParticlePosition and ParticleRadius
* Volumetric fog integration is now energy conservative - scattering is integrated against transmission over the depth of each slice.
* Added bOverrideLightColorsWithFogInscatteringColors to exponential height fog, which can be enabled to make Volumetric Fog match Height fog more closely
Change 3334134 on 2017/03/06 by Daniel.Wright
[Copy from Michael Trepka] Added Embree 2.14.0 and changed MeshUtilities to use it as this solves issues with Embree leaking TLS keys. UnrealLightmass is still using older Embree 2.7.0 until we can find time to properly test it with the new version. Also, invalidated distance field DDC to force it to rebuild with updated Embree.

* Forward lighting of local lights can be forced with 'r.VolumetricFog.InjectShadowedLightsSeparately 0'
* Shadowed lights come at a cost: 2.9ms for volumetric fog on 970 -> 4.2ms with shadowing

Change 3251141 on 2017/01/09 by Ben.Woodhouse
Duplicated from Fortnite CL 3243458:
D3D12 memory optimization - The d3d12 buddy suballocator is very wasteful for allocations above 4KB, but the vast majority of allocations are smaller . In the default buffer allocator this was causing 149MB of waste in 340MB of allocations. Moving the max allocation size threshold down to 4KB from 512KB saved 100MB of memory wastage memory.
On PC, buffers are 64KB aligned, so we need the threshold to be higher to avoid additional wastage.
Add PIX memory tracking instrumentation for buddy allocators so we can track the memory properly in PIX
Change 3251142 on 2017/01/09 by Ben.Woodhouse
Duplicated from Fortnite 3243496
memory optimisation: use NULL-terminated ansi strings instead of unicode FStrings for symbols, saving 118MB. Previously the strings were loaded from disk as ansi and then converted to FStrings (slowly), before finally being converted them back to ansi strings before being used. In addition to reducing memory overhead, this change reduces complexity and improves startup time.

Added InscatteringColorCubemapAngle to exponential height fog
Change 3252843 on 2017/01/10 by Uriel.Doyon
Propper fix for UE-40211, where texture streaming bound defrag and async tasks could interact in coherent ways.
The bound defrag is now done outside of the async work logic.
Change 3252866 on 2017/01/10 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix Metal shader pipeline hash collisions caused by deferring MTLFunction construction until PrepareToDraw so that we may use Function-Constants to specialise the shader source without generating additional permutations. This is required to generate proper tessellation shaders which are specialised against the index-buffer usage & type (none, uint16, uint32). While we're here amend the hash functions to make better use of the existing hash functions to improve the distribution and hopefully reduce the possibility of collisions in future.

Change 3254511 on 2017/01/11 by Rolando.Caloca
DR - PSO stats
Change 3255958 on 2017/01/12 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Reimplement RQT_AbsoluteTime for Metal - pretty sure I did this before, but somehow it got lost. When a RQT_AbsoluteTime is inserted into the command-stream, insert a command-buffer completion handler to record the time of completion & submit the command-buffer immediately. This breaks command-buffers so is noticeably slower and if inserted in a pass that can't be restarted will fail but is currently the only option available. This is sufficient to support the GPUBenchmark used by Scalability. To make this more efficient I've refactored the FMetalCommandBufferFence implementation so that we use a single shared-ptr object containing the command-buffer and a dispatch semaphore, rather than allocating one for each query. The semaphore allows for timed-waits where previously we'd block until completion, unlike the other APIs that report failure after a fixed interval (2s for RQT_AbsoluteTime, otherwise 0.5s). Sadly not all drivers support this abuse of the Metal API, so replace the GL-based workaround for not having time queries with one that just guesses based on RHI device details. Radars will be filed.

#jira UE-38615
Assert shouldn't be necessary; in fact, it causes a crash when exporting emitters, since in that case we're changing the template at runtime.
Change 3256371 on 2017/01/12 by Uriel.Doyon
Reenabled texture streaming bound defrag as the fix is in CL 3252843
Change 3257032 on 2017/01/13 by Daniel.Wright
Added fastClamp to fastmath.usf
Change 3257111 on 2017/01/13 by Daniel.Wright
Disabled bAffectDistanceFieldLighting on DefaultPawn, fixes VisualizeMeshDistanceFields in game
Change 3257112 on 2017/01/13 by Daniel.Wright
DFAO optimizations
* Changed the culling algorithm to produce a list of intersecting screen tiles for each object, instead of the other way around. Each tile / object intersection gets its own cone tracing thread group so wavefronts are much smaller and scheduled better. 3.63ms -> 3.48ms (.15ms)
* Replace slow instructions in inner loop with fast approximations (exp2 -> sqr + 1, rcpFast, lengthFast) 3.25ms -> 3.09ms (.16ms)
* Moved transform from world to local space out of the inner loop (sample position constructed from local space position + direction) 3.09ms -> 3.04ms
* Compute shader for ClearUAV 3.04ms -> 2.62ms (.42ms)
Change 3257113 on 2017/01/13 by Daniel.Wright

Distance field mesh visualization now uses a cone containing the entire tile to cull objects with, making the results stable
Change 3257657 on 2017/01/13 by Daniel.Wright
Mesh distance fields are stored zlib compressed in memory until needed for uploading to GPU
* 81Mb of backing memory -> 32Mb in GPUPerfTest, atlas upload time 29ms -> 893ms

Better support for static primitive becoming dynamic.
Change 3260107 on 2017/01/17 by Ben.Woodhouse
Fix FMonitoredProcess to prevent infinite loop in -nothreading mode
#jira UE-40717
Change 3260594 on 2017/01/17 by Daniel.Wright
Added a new global distance field (4x 128^3 clipmaps) which caches mostly static primitives (Mobility set to Static or Stationary)
* The full global distance field inherits from the mostly static cache, so when a Movable primitive is modified, only other movable primitives in the vicinity need to be re-composited into the global distance field
* Global distance field update cost with one large rotating object went from 2.5ms -> .2ms on 970GTX and 4.6ms -> .3ms. Worst case full volume update is mostly the same.
* Adds 12Mb for the new volume textures
Change 3260956 on 2017/01/17 by Daniel.Wright
Structured buffers for DF object data
* Full global distance field clipmap composite 3.0ms -> 2.0ms due to scalarized loads
Change 3261296 on 2017/01/17 by Daniel.Wright
Exposed MaxObjectsPerTile with 'r.AOMaxObjectsPerCullTile' and lowered the default from 512 to 256, saves 17Mb of object tile culling data structures
Removed unnecessary UAV transitions preventing object and global cone tracing from overlapping, saves ~.1ms

#jira UE-40841
Change 3264153 on 2017/01/19 by Ben.Woodhouse
Integrate latest changes from MS-DX12 CLs 3231395-3262526
- Added WinPixEventRuntime.tps
- Includes PIX support, various optimizations (saved 1.3ms in testbed scene)
CL 3262343:
Fix depth testing on translucency not working correctly after cl 3231395. This change reapplies the D3D12RHI changes from CL 3231395 because those changes were lost when integrating from //Dev-Rendering/ but also includes the depth fixes:
- Fix depth state not being in DEPTH_READ for use as depth read. The issue was HasDepthBits and HasStencilBits wern't intended for SRV formats and always returned false in the SRV case.
CL 3231395:
Update D3D12 RHI:
- Fix deferred MSAA path in RHI
- Add Pix3.h support
- Cleanup SetName usage and remove it from shipping builds.
- Fix fence reuse bug. We were signaling MAX UINT (-1) and then waiting for 0, which was always signaled. This change also removes the fence value reset code, there is no need to reset a fence to a previous value.
- Use FPlatformAtomics::InterlockedIncrement instead of InterlockedIncrement64
- Use InterlockedIncrement() instead of _InterlockedIncrement() and use the FPlatformAtomics:: version.
- Fix possible readback heap being evicted while in use. GetQueryData happens on the render thread and isn't tied to a command list so we should always have readback heaps resident.
Change 3264251 on 2017/01/19 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Modify some asserts in MetalRHI - technically using a store-action of ENoAction on Stencil buffers should make it invalid to restart a render-pass but on Mac it will work because ENoAction won't invalidate anything written. In future we need to use deferred store-actions in Metal so that we can "restart" passes while enforcing correct Load/Store actions.

Change 3266656 on 2017/01/20 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Changes to the FShaderCache to restore it and extend it to optionally report on shader de-duplication when generating a binary shader cache (Console Variable: r.BinaryShaderCacheLogging).
Duplicate & amend CL #3266053 from Trepka:
Fixed issues with shader cache not working properly with Mac Metal (but it still requires -norhithread to work at all). Enabled the shader cache by default if RHI thread is disabled.
Amend & integrate RCO's CL #3197085.

DR - Detect duplicated shader and pipeline types
Change 3268600 on 2017/01/23 by Uriel.Doyon
Added missing r.Streaming.MaxEffectiveScreenSize config to base texture scability settings.
Integrated CL 3227368 from Orion stream
Enabled r.Streaming.UsePerTextureBias by default as this has been tested in Orion for several months.
Fixed issue with the InvestigateTexture command which could return invalid reference depending on the timing,
Added th MaxEffectiveScreenSize settings in the investigate texture command.

#udn 325525
Fix uniform buffers for mesh particles; these should really be on the mesh collector, so allocating them as a one frame resource is safe
Change 3271594 on 2017/01/25 by Ben.Woodhouse
ESRAM support stage 1:
Implemented noncontiguous ESRAM page allocator replacing XgMemoryLayout API. The allocator allocates non-contiguous ranges of pages and maps them onto a contiguous virtual address range.
Unlike the previous implementation, this allocator frees pages for reuse when resources are destroyed
Note: issues with deferred deallocation may prevent reuse in many cases - that will be addressed in the next stage
Support for the old allocator is still available (for now) via the define NEW_ESRAM_ALLOCATOR
