shadow atlas will contain directional, spot, point light shadows all in one texture;
shadow count will not be limited, they will be tigthly packed within the atlas instead;
shadow resolution will be dynamic per light;
shadow texture arrays will no longer be used;
Splitting visibility buffer shaders to reduce register usage:
resolve (async)
binning (async)
velocity (async)
surface sampling (async)
sky (async)
lighting (gfx)
Successfully improved GPU utilization in lighting shader.
Binning is faster, because binning tiles and not pixels
Because tiles are binned, lighting tiles are using coherent tile info for whole thread group
Surface, sky and decal rendering also runs now in async compute.
Velocity is separate pass, improves GPU utilization in resolve, and only runs as optional.
Surface shader occupancy is still bad, and wind computation is still bad per pixel, but now it is only done in surface shader.
Surface shader can now write out proper top layer of clearcoated material, this improves screen space and raytraced reflections.
MSAA not implemented yet for visibility compute shading
Tessellation is still only half way supported in visibility compute shading (tessellation data not available in memory for pixel interpolation, but depth is written in prepass, this causes mismatch)
- namespace refactor (example: wiGraphics:: -> wi::graphics)
- provided namespace compatibility macro for old user code: WICKEDENGINE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY_0_59
- resource manager will return `Resource` instead of `shared_ptr<Resource>` objects
- MAD shader optimizations
- implemented alpha to coverage with alpha tested materials when MSAA is enabled
- alpha testing fix with transparent shadow maps
- TLAS and scene buffers will be recreated less frequently when things get added/removed from the scene
* Mark concrete graphics device classes as final - they should not be inherited from further.
* Apply consistent snake_cast naming (which has been used in more recent additions) across wiGraphics structs
* Make 'CommandList' type safe so that calling graphics device functions is less error-prone.
* Decouple wiProfiler from wiRenderer by passing the device instance to functions instead of using wiRenderer::GetDevice().
* Bump minor version for graphics refactors.
* Decouple wiHelper screenshot/saveTexture* functions from wiRenderer by providing the graphics device as a parameter.
* Convert wiGraphics.h enums to use enum class (except a couple of raytracing flag enums which seem best left)
* hdr fix
* Documentation updates for enum class.
* Revert "Decouple wiHelper screenshot/saveTexture* functions from wiRenderer by providing the graphics device as a parameter."
This reverts commit fd70249554.
* Revert "Decouple wiProfiler from wiRenderer by passing the device instance to functions instead of using wiRenderer::GetDevice()."
This reverts commit 69b5326cfc.
* Fix debug build
* Fix gcc build (hopefully). Move bitmask operator defs to end of file outside of wiGraphics namespace.
* Remove 'to_underlying' and replace with casts
* graphics device access decoupled from wiRenderer, now should be accessed from wiGraphics::GetDevice()
* minor refactors, comments
* dx12 assert fix
* fixes
* commandlist refactor
* commandlist initial value
* commandlist refactor
* graphicsdevice comments, GetActivePipelineCount() function
* has changed to has_flag
* just rename a thing

version 0.57.0:
- DX11 removed, DX12 is default now on Windows
- graphics interfaces improved:
- Bindless descriptor support is now assumed
- GPU Buffers with USAGE_UPLOAD and USAGE_READBACK will be persistently mapped after creation
- Removed Map/Unmap
- added BindDynamicConstantBuffer helper function
- improved AllocateGPU helper function
- GPU Queries resolving can be done directly into GPUBuffer
- UpdateBuffer now doesn't synchronize internally, this allows batching updates
- removed support for bindless constant buffers (uniform buffers)
- BindConstantBuffer will accept offset
- RESOURCE_STATES refactor, they can be combined now in the barriers
- many other refactors
- gbuffer normals removed, implemented visibility buffer
- bindless decals, bindless lightmaps, bindless hair particles, bindless software path tracing
- hair particles path tracing support
- path tracing eye adaption supported
- Surfel GI (experimental)
