Change 3055495 on 2016/07/19 by Marc.Olano
Allow Noise material node on mobile
No reason to exclude mobile, except for Fast Gradient Noise, which uses 3D textures. Allow this node on ES2 for all of the other noise functions.
#jira UE-33345
Change 3055602 on 2016/07/19 by Luke.Thatcher
Fix crash bug in D3D11 RHI when selecting adapters.
- Array of adapter descriptors will get out of sync with the adapter index if any adapter is skipped (e.g. the Microsoft Basic Render Device).
#jira UE-33236
Change 3055890 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
Improved the assert in LoadModuleChecked so we won't have to check the log to see which module it was
Change 3055891 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
Fixed Global Distance Field not dirtying previous object position on UpdateTransform - left behind a phantom shadow on teleports
* This will effectively double partial distiance field update costs until clipping of the update regions is implemented
Change 3055892 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
Higher poly light source shapes drawn into reflection captures
Change 3055893 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
More info to 'Incompatible surface format' GNM assert
Change 3055904 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
Reflection environment normalization improvements
* Indirect specular from reflection captures is now mixed with indirect diffuse from lightmaps based on roughness, such that a mirror surface will have no mixing. Reflection captures now match other reflection methods like SSR and planar reflections much more closely.
* When a stationary skylight is present, Reflection captures are now normalized as if the initial skylight will always be present, giving consistent results with static skylight reflections. The skylight and reflection captures with sky removed used to be normalized separately, compacting the relative brightness between the sky and scene.
* Added r.ReflectionEnvironmentLightmapMixing for debugging lightmap mixing issues. This toggle was previously not possible due to prenormalizing the capture data.
* The standard deferred reflection path (r.DoTiledReflections 0) can no longer match the results of the compute path or base pass reflections, as it would require MRT to accumulate the average brightness
* Removed unused r.DiffuseFromCaptures
* Cost of reflection environment on PS4 increased from 1.52ms -> 1.75ms with this change, but decreased back to 1.58ms by reducing tile size to 8x8
Change 3055905 on 2016/07/19 by Daniel.Wright
Workaround for RTDF shadows not working on PS4 - manual clear of ObjectIndirectArguments instead of RHICmdList.ClearUAV

Testing #uecritical
Change 3060558 on 2016/07/21 by Daniel.Wright
Fixed skylight with specified cubemap being black
Change 3061999 on 2016/07/22 by Marcus.Wassmer
Disable old AMD driver hacks for DX11. QA has already tested with them off and given thumbs up.
Change 3062241 on 2016/07/22 by Daniel.Wright
Fixed bug in RHISupportsSeparateMSAAAndResolveTextures that was preventing MSAA for any non-Vulkan platforms
Change 3062244 on 2016/07/22 by Daniel.Wright
Discard old prenormalized reflection environment data on load
Change 3062283 on 2016/07/22 by Daniel.Wright
MSAA support for the forward renderer
* AntiAliasing method is chosen in Rendering project settings, DefaultSettings category
* Deferred passes like shadow projection, fogging and decals are only computed per-pixel and can introduce aliasing
* Added Rendering project setting VertexFoggingForOpaque, which makes height fog cheaper and work properly with MSAA
* The AntiAliasing method in PostProcessSettings has been removed, this may affect existing content
* Added r.MSAACount which defaults to 4
* Integrated wide custom resolve filter from Oculus renderer, controlled by r.WideCustomResolve
* GBuffer targets are no longer allocated when using the forward renderer
* Decal blend modes that write to the GBuffer fall back to SceneColor emissive only
Change 3062666 on 2016/07/23 by Uriel.Doyon
Added legend to streaming accuracy viewmodes
Added a new helper class FRenderTargetTemp to be reused in different canvas rendering.
Exposed the pass through pixel shader so that it can be reused.

Fix for cooker crash with BC6H textures (XB1, but may affect other platforms). Also fixes corruption issue with texture slices not being a multiple of 4 pixels (expanding as necessary), courtesy of Stu McKenna at the Coalition
Tested fix on xbox, PC and PS4, using QAGame
#jira UE-28592
Change 3064896 on 2016/07/26 by Ben.Woodhouse
Fix compile errors on PS4 (the variable "sample" was conflicting with a keyword, causing compile errors). Also making encoding consistent on new shaders (ansi rather than UTF16)
Change 3064913 on 2016/07/26 by Ben.Marsh
Fix spelling of "Editor, Tools, Monolithics & DDC" node in Dev-Rendering build settings.

Change 3071452 on 2016/07/31 by Uriel.Doyon
Updated the legend description for the (texture streaming) primitive distance accuracy view mode
[CL 3072803 by Marcus Wassmer 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]
This is more correct for scanned textures as they include scattering already. Affects the look of emissive lighting (rarely needed and can be fixed by content). All diffuse lighting for SubsurfaceScatteringProfile is now done without the BaseColor (minor performance cost) and reading the Lighting before the SubsurfaceScattering pass would be different.
Removed the need for a SceneColor alpha channel as lighting is now stored in a checkerboard pattern for diffuse and specular separate. Specular and diffuse lighting on Subsurface materials can appear a bit less crips.
This means the use of 32bit SceneColor (for better performance) is now possible (we might change the defaults soon).
[CL 2640696 by Martin Mittring in Main branch]
- wasn't scaling right with ViewportSize, e.g. HighResScreenshot
- Missing a horizontal line in the 2d kernel
- Improved quality of the full res portion
- refactored to avoid one full res pass
- simplified Stereo rendering support
- In single viewport case it now goes down to 32bit texture format afterwards (input can be 32/RGB or 64/RGBA as before, without alpha it can look bad)
[CL 2637623 by Martin Mittring in Main branch]
FORT-2471 Player character appears blurry with certain video settings
(Blurry is now only on Subsurface, there it could be a bit better using the non subsurface constribution as full res)
[CL 2383733 by Martin Mittring in Main branch]
