Gigi Files

Viewer:

• Model viewer ( drag / drop model onto viewer) now has IBL PBR raster, and PBR path tracing
• FSR Features and Improvements From Wilson Sun
• Python functions to control window state (minimization etc) from Wilson Sun
• GLTF model / scene loading support
• You can load lights and materials from mesh/scene files now. Drag / drop model into window and look at graph to see details.
  • materials and lights go into buffers, using semantics to control what data is copied to which fields. Same as how vertex buffers work.
  • material buffers also let you specify a file name for a generated shader file that contains a material evaluation function. Use embed tag to include it.
• fix for issue [#80]
• ability to force load a file as binary
• fix imported resource geometry transforms not working in viewer
• profiler has memory usage info now
• Enum lookup from python fix from William Donnelly

Features:

• /*$(Embed:filename)*/ tag copy/pastes the specified file into the current file before doing string replacement. Allows you to put Gigi tags (images, variables, etc) into shared shader headers. (Finally!)
• Image2D and similar tags now let you specify "Any" for the texture format, for automatic format selection.
• You can now specify samplers in shaders using the /*$(Sampler:)*/ tag. See UserDocumentation/GigiShaders_Documentation for more info.
• Mesh indirect supported in draw calls (viewer only)
• set var now has pow()
• uav mip index on connections can be controlled by a variable

Editor:

• ask for confirmation before new, open, exit, when document dirty (FINALLY!)
• fix for editor fields acting as const when they shouldn't have been.
• build panel focuses when you build
• moved "add system variables" to the variables window
• fixed a problem with node sub menus.
