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

Level unload of a lighting scenario propagates the lighting scenario change - fixes crash when precomputed lighting volume data gets unloaded
Change 3220029 on 2016/12/02 by Daniel.Wright
Async shader compiling now recreates scene proxies which are affected by the material which was compiled. This fixes crashes which were occuring as proxies cache various material properties, but applying compiled materials would not update these cached properties (bRequiresAdjacencyInformation).
* A new ensure has been added in FMeshElementCollector::AddMesh and FBatchingSPDI::DrawMesh to catch attempts to render with a material not reported in GetUsedMaterials
* Fixed UParticleSystemComponent::GetUsedMaterials and UMaterialBillboardComponent::GetUsedMaterials
* FMaterialUpdateContext should be changed to use the same pattern, but that hasn't been done yet

Metal Desktop Tessellation support from Unicorn.
- Apple: Metal tessellation support added to MetalShaderFormat, MetalRHI and incl. changes to engine runtime/shaders for Desktop renderer and enabled in ElementalDemo by default (OS X 10.11 will run SM4).
- Epic: Support for different Metal shader standards on Mac, iOS & tvOS which required moving some RHI functions around as this is a project setting and not a compile-time constant.
- Epic: Fragment shader UAV support, which is also tied to newer Metal shader standard like Tessellation.
- Epic: Significant refactor of MetalRHI's internals to clearly separate state-caching from render-pass management and command-encoding.
- Epic: Internal MetalRHI validation code is now cleanly separated out into custom implementations of the Metal @protocol's and is on by default.
- Epic: Various fixes to Layered Rendering for Metal.
- Omits Mobile Tessellation support which needs further revision.

Experimental Metal EDR/HDR output support for Mac (iOS/tvOS need custom formats & shaders so they are not supported yet).
- Only available on macOS Sierra (10.12) for Macs with HDR displays (e.g. Retina iMacs).
- Enable with -metaledr command-line argument as it is off-by-default.
- Sets up the CAMetalLayer & the back-buffer for RGBA_FP16 output on Mac using DCI-P3 as the color gamut and ACES 1000 nit ScRGB output encoding.

Change 3224220 on 2016/12/06 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Fix various errors with Metal UAV & Render-Pass Restart support so that we can use the Pixel Shader culling for DistanceField effects.
- Unfortunately Metal requires that a texture be bound to start a render-pass, so reuse the dummy depth-stencil surface from the problematic editor preview tile rendering.
Change 3224236 on 2016/12/06 by Mark.Satterthwaite
IWYU CIS compile fix for iOS.
Change 3224366 on 2016/12/06 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Simplify some of the changes from CL# 3224220 so that we don't perform unnecessary clears.
- If the RenderPass is broken to issue compute or blit operations then treat the cached RenderTargetsInfo as invalid, unless the RenderPass is restarted.
- This guarantees that we don't erroneously ignore calls to SetRenderTargets if the calling code issues a dispatch between two RenderPasses that use the same RenderTargetsInfo.
Change 3224416 on 2016/12/06 by Uriel.Doyon
New default implementation for UPrimitiveComponent::GetStreamingTextureInfo using a conservative heuristic where the textures are stretched across the bounds.
Optimized UPrimitiveComponent::GetStreamingTextureInfoWithNULLRemoval by not handling registered components with no proxy (essentially hidden game / collision primitives).
Added blueprint support for texture streaming built data through FStaticMeshComponentInstanceData.
Fix for material texture streaming data not being available on some cooked builds.
Enabled split requests on all texture load requests (first loading everything visible and then loaded everything not visible).
This is controlled by "r.Streaming.MinMipForSplitRequest" which defines the minimum mip for which to allow splitting.
Forced residency are now loaded in two steps (visible, then forced), improving reactiveness.
Updated "stat streaming" to include "UnkownRefMips" which represent texture with no known component referencing them,
and also "LastRenderTimeMips" which related to timed primitives.
Changed "Forced Mips" so that it only shows mips that are loaded become of forced residency.
"Texture Streaming Build" now updates the map check after execution.
Removed Orphaned texture logic as this has become irrelevant with the latest retention priority logic.
Updated "r.streaming.usenewmetrics" so that it shows behavior before and after 4.12 improvements.
Change 3224532 on 2016/12/07 by Uriel.Doyon
Integrated CL 3223965 :
Building texture streaming data for materials does not wait for pending shaders to finish compilation anymore.
Added more options to allow the user to cancel this build also.

* Requires the global clip plane project setting to be enabled
Change 3226214 on 2016/12/07 by Daniel.Wright
Improved deferred shadowing with MSAA by upsampling light attenuation intelligently in the base pass
* If the current fragment's depth doesn't match what was used for deferred shadowing, the neighbor (cross pattern) with the nearest depth's shadowing is used
* Edge artifacts can still occur where the upsample fails or the shadow factor was computed per-sample due to depth / stencil testing
* Indirect Occlusion from capsule shadows also uses the nearest depth neighbor UV for no extra cost
* Base pass on 970 GTX 1.69ms -> 1.85ms (.16ms) in RoboRecall

Forward renderer supports shadowing from movable lights and light functions
* Only 4 shadow casting movable or stationary lights can overlap at any point in space, otherwise the movable lights will lose their shadows and an on-screen message will be displayed
* Light functions only work on shadow casting lights since they need a shadowmap channel to be assigned

Fix Mac HDR causing incorrect output color encoding being used, HDR support is now entirely off unless you pass -metaledr which will enable it regardless of whether the current display supports HDR (as we haven't written the detection code yet). Fixed the LUT/UI compositing along the way - Mac Metal wasn't using volume LUT as it should have been, RHISupportsVertexShaderLayer now correctly returns false for non-Mac Metal platforms.

Editor fixes for 4.15:
- PostProcessTonemap can't fail to bind a texture to the ColorLUT or the subsequent rendering will be garbage: the changes for optimising stereo rendering forgot to account for the Editor's use of Views without States for the asset preview thumbnails. Amended the CombineLUT post-processing to allocate a local output texture when there's no ViewState and read from this when this situation arises which makes everything function again.
- Don't start render-passes without a valid render-target-array in MetalRHI.

Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Change 2989991 on 2016/05/25 by Daniel.Wright
Improved usability for DBuffer Decals
* 'Show Decals' works correctly, previously would fetch from uninitialized textures
* DBuffer being enabled forces a full prepass, previously decals would render incorrectly unless correct settings of r.EarlyZPass were used
* Improved the PrePass draw event to indicate whether it's full or partial
* Materials using DBuffer blend modes will fail to compile when the DBuffer project setting is disabled, instead of just being invisible
* r.EarlyZPass can now be changed at runtime, which is useful for profiling

Change 2990392 on 2016/05/25 by Daniel.Wright
Added r.AOSpecularOcclusionMode, which determines how specular should be occluded by DFAO
0: Apply non-directional AO to specular.
1: (default) Intersect the reflection cone with the unoccluded cone produced by DFAO. This gives more accurate occlusion than 0, but can bring out DFAO sampling artifacts.
2: (experimental) Cone trace through distance fields along the reflection vector. Costs about the same as DFAO again because more cone tracing is done, but produces more accurate occlusion.

Change 2990801 on 2016/05/25 by Zabir.Hoque
Only allocate reflection capture cubemaps if we are actually doing a reflection capture. The old approach always allocated based on CVar and worked with a warning on D3D since if SRC was larger than the DST, the extra SRC area was dropped. New approach only allocates when necessary and is correctly sized everytime. Also hardened access to CVar and what users are allowed to set.

Change 2803940 on 2015/12/15 by Marcus.Wassmer
Add r.PS4.AsyncComputeBudgetMode to switch between CUMasking and WaveLimit modes. So far it looks like WaveLimits behave better in UE4.
Also rearrange AsyncSSAO to run immediately after HZB to overlap with occlusion queries. In my testing this takes SSAO cost from .5ms -> .2ms. However it had to be hacked to run without normals. Hopefully Martin can get some real AsyncSSAO in.

Change 2803999 on 2015/12/15 by Uriel.Doyon
Refactored the shader complexity material override logic to allow other viewmodes shader overrides.
TexelFactorAccuracy ViewMode : shows the accuracy of the static mesh texel factors, used for streaming.
WantedMipsAccuracy ViewMode : shows the accuracy of the static mesh wanted mips accuracy, used for streaming.
Added an option to stream textures based on the AABB distance instead of using the sphere approximation.
Added an option to only keep a the wanted mips.
Moved optimization related viewmodes into a submenu to avoid polluting the interface.

Sequencer: Fixed spawnables not working in sub-sequences
- The issue here was that sequence track instance updates had no knowledge of which sub-sequence they were being evaluated within. We now pass the active sequence instance into the relevant track instance functions.
- Also addressed some issues to do with save/restore state not getting called correctly on master tracks of sequence instances
- Tidied up spawn track editor

Change 2739793 on 2015/10/23 by Andrew.Rodham
Sequencer: Refined movie scene capturing to ensure frame accuracies are maintained
- Aborting an in-progress capture now gracefully terminates the process (through a remote session command) to ensure it still creates a valid video
- Level sequece movie capture will now pick up a corresponding level sequence in the world, and use that to capture with. A new actor will be spawned at runtime with the correct asset, should one not already exist.
- Made -nomovie actually work
- Refined how active movie captures are managed
- Added option to 'stage' a sequence before starting the capture. This feature will set the sequence on its first frame for the preroll, to ensure that PPP effects are allowed time to stabilize

Upload crashes from CRC to Data Router
[UECORE-249] - Integrate Crash Report Client with the Data Router
Upload to Receiver still active as we are running both in parallel for now.
We now occlude Separate Transluceny by new Gaussian DOF.
Details: optimized one full res pass if GaussianDOF with SeparateTranslucency is used. NearDOF is now occlusing/hiding SeparateTransluceny which allows DOFVignette to work better and it seems more right in general. If Far and Near DOF is used with Gaussian DOF it now requires another half res setup pass and full res composite pass.
Added enum to allow for 3 custom colors if a texture is not bound.
[CL 2656232 by Martin Mittring in Main branch]
Consolidated the visible and hidden area meshes into a single class that can be used by all HMD clients
Some house cleaning
[CL 2648164 by Ryan Vance in Main branch]
Instead of rendering a full screen quad for post process passes, render a mesh which represents only the screen area visible in the HMD after distortion.
This cuts the cost of post processing ~10-15% with no visible difference.
Initial implementation for the Vive.
[CL 2644327 by Ryan Vance in Main branch]
help text:
Defines in which order the nodes in the CompositionGraph are executed (affects postprocess and some lighting).
Option 1 provides more control, which can be useful for preserving ESRAM, avoid GPU sync, cluster up compute shaders for performance and control AsyncCompute.
0: tree order starting with the root, first all inputs then dependencies (classic UE4, unconnected nodes are not getting executed)
1: RegisterPass() call order, unless the dependencies (input and additional) require a different order (might become new default as it provides more control, executes all registered nodes
