How to use and write mesh loaders, best practicies
Well, before we start make sure you have knowledge what an Asset is. Get involved if you don't know anything about it: https://github.com/Devsh-Graphics-Programming/Nabla/wiki/Asset-Pipeline-Philosophy.
There are two ways of creating and preparing an Asset. You can create it by yourself or use one of predefined loaders for that purpose. In case of using loaders, a few things have to be performed to get the Asset.
A user can programmatically/procedurally (without loading any assets) create all of these, like in the example 03.GPUMesh, but loaders are provided for flexibility.
Let's take a look at loaders which create and return ICPUMesh, ICPUMeshBuffer or ICPURenderpassIndependentPipeline.
They must construct (or return cached) pipeline objects with reasonable default shaders attached. But it is all about ICPU objects with mutable state - the reason is the following; the user will have their own rendering technique in mind (such as deferred rendering for instance) and will "more often than not" replace the pipeline entirely (maybe while keeping some of the initial state in the one that will replace the original) and when all is done and prepared, such an ICPU Asset will be converted to inmutable IGPU object.
To get started you have to consider there is a device you can use to get a video driver, scene manager and Asset manager. A device is a properly created irr::core::smart_refctd_ptr<irr::IrrlichtDevice>
auto* driver = device->getVideoDriver();
auto* smgr = device->getSceneManager();
auto* am = device->getAssetManager();Next step is to provided parameters that will be used for loading purpose to specify and force some options used for loading process.
asset::IAssetLoader::SAssetLoadParams loadingParams;Having done it, you can execute a functions returning Assets. Note we didn't specified any options in loading parameters, so default options will be in use. Remember that Assets are always loaded as a bundle (set of same type Assets), not as a single Asset!
auto meshes_bundle = am->getAsset("../../media/sponza/sponza.obj", loadingParams);It may occur the loaded Asset bundle is empty, so you should provide a function checking whether there are actually Assets in bundle. For tutorial purpose, I will assert if it's empty, but it isn't necessary though.
assert(!meshes_bundle.getContents.empty());Now we should pull our Asset knowing where it is placed in bundle. For loaders forced to load always a single Asset you can get it from beginning of bundle. Pay attention, we know from our assumptions that the content are mesh Assets - ICPUMesh. It's important to know the type of the Asset, because you will have to cast your Asset to use it properly. If you cast it wrong, your program will exhibit undefined behaviour.
auto mesh = meshes_bundle.getContents().first[0];
auto mesh_raw = static_cast<asset::ICPUMesh*>(mesh.get());Instead of casting it explicitly, you should use
IAsset::castDown<asset::ICPUMesh>(mesh);and we are done.
Before you will be able to start handling data in your loader, you have to at least override some functions derived from IAssetLoader.
virtual bool isALoadableFileFormat(io::IReadFile* _file) const = 0;virtual const char** getAssociatedFileExtensions() const = 0;virtual SAssetBundle loadAsset(io::IReadFile* _file, const SAssetLoadParams& _params, IAssetLoaderOverride* _override = nullptr, uint32_t _hierarchyLevel = 0u) = 0;
So you need to check signature of file in isALoadableFileFormat, because the manger can exclude a file that is invalid without reading whole data included in it (i.e. reading file headers, some rudimentary validation).
You also need to put available file extensions a loader can handle in getAssociatedFileExtensions, your loader won't be restricted to files with that specific extension, this just lets the engine try the loaders in a correct/preferred order.
Finally, you should define loadAsset function where you will contain all stuff such as private functions encapsulating your implementation of loading data and handle loading at last.
Open an any loader to see how those functions may look like in its implementation.
If you ever need to store temporary variables while loading - store them in a predefined struct called SContext, do not store temporaries/mutables in member variables or even worse, in static members.
This is to enable the loader to be called from multiple threads simultaneously.
Look at COBJMeshFileLoader that loads textures from materials specified in an .mtl file. You should have 3+ loaders for it:
- OBJ loader that only reads .obj produces an asset::ICPUMesh necessarily invokes an MTL loader
-
MTL loader that only reads .mtl files and produces (or returns) a half-filled
asset::ICPURenderpassIndependentPipeline(that OBJ can modify slightly for raster and vertex input parameters), naturally it invokes image loaders for needed textures. - Texture loaders for PNG, JPEG, etc.
It is a class for user to override functions to facilitate changing the way assets are loaded. You can use it to get a file name though, but important is that many behaviours may be overridden.
You can use it for pulling dependent Assets like textures and materials for a model, or models for file formats which describe entire scenes.
Remember to specify hierarchy level. This is necessary to provide the IAssetLoaderOverride methods with reliable information in the case of asset loaders loading dependent assets via other loaders.
For more information about hierarchy levels, read Nabla's documentation.
If something cannot be passed within the returned asset bundle, use metadata to communicate between loaders
The SAssetBundle loader return type and IAsset cache value type, can have a metadata object assigned to it.
The metadata is a single object for all assets and their dependencies in the SAssetBundle. A single IAsset can have many different metadata when present in different SAssetBundles.
This is a good design decision as our previous design had one metadata object per IAsset and it lead to unnecessary asset duplication just to insert the "same asset" multiple times with different metadata into the cache (think about a model and metadata about its instances in a scene).
The metadata is different for every loader, see examples in nbl/asset/metadata.
The MTL loader is a material loader, and as such the "highest" level object it can load is an ICPURenderpassIndependentPipeline. This object does not include the actual shader inputs to be used such as push constants's values or the image views aggregated for descriptor sets only the layouts (generic material "type" definition, not specific).
So the specific shader inputs to be used come in the MTL-specific-metadata-derived-class which will be present in the SAssetBundle that the MTL loader returns. This in turn, allows the OBJ loader to use the descriptor set which is in the metadata of the pipeline bundle, as the descriptor set number 3 for the ICPUMeshBuffers of the ICPUMesh which it will return.
Generally, when you use the default CPU->GPU object converter, it clears the memory of the CPU objects. For example, the contents of ICPUBuffer and some big dynamic_refctd_array (descriptor set contents) will get freed. When this is done - ICPU object goes into a dummy state.
Converting objects to dummies instead of deleting them is used for implementation purposes, this way we're able to do lookups in an **<ICPU , IGPU > map and the idea is that the next time you perform ICPU -> IGPU object conversion then if there is a dependency of that object being dummy - fetching of the GPU representation of that object from cache will be performed instead of creating the object again. (It can even take entire object if top level asset in conversion-call is dummy and cached).
The MTL loader can only produce 2 variants of materials implemented via an ubershader, hence there are only 4 specialized shaders, 2 descriptor layouts and 2 pipeline layouts ever created.
There's also a default, built-in, descriptor set for missing textures, so that the MTL loader does not cause the OBJ Loader to fail to load geometry just because textures could not be found.
Finally the OBJ Loader would have to clone the pipeline created by the MTL loader in order to change a few settings regarding vertex inputs and rasterization modes.
The problem was that after a call to the CPU->GPU converter these built-ins would go into the dummy state, and dummy objects don't support any functionality after becoming dummies, except dependency introspection.
we have introduced new following asset flag concepts:
-
MUTABLE- everyone can do what they like to the asset -
CPU_PERSISTENT- it protects an asset from calls toconvertToDummy, even if executed hierarchically (i.e. when an object isMUTABLEand tries to callconvertToDummyon its dependencies). This means that the CPU->GPU converter will perform the conversion and there is no GPU object duplication because a pointer to the ICPU object is added as a key to the cache, but there is no freeing RAM which holds the contents of the asset. -
IMMUTABLE- nobody is able to change anything in in the IAsset (as if you had a const pointer or reference, alsoIMMUTABLEimpliesCPU_PERSISTENT).
Built-ins of your loaders and the engine must be added to the <string,ICPU> cache with the IMMUTABLE flag.
Public IAssetManager::insertIntoCache sets asset's mutability as cpu persistent , so that everything that is added to cache explicitely by user does not transition to dummy from conversions.
However IAssetLoaderOverride sets mutability as mutable (everything loaded by getAsset and subassets that are added to cache during the loading process are mutable).
Additionally all the builtins are added to cache as immutable, for reasons stated above.
When you need to introspect a dependent asset, use IAssetLoader::interm_getRestoredAssetInHierarchy [IN PROGRESS / TODO]
The second issue we had noticed were that a loader may perform an introspection of a dependent asset eg. looking into texture's pixels, introspecting a shader, extracting information from a descriptor set and it requires the asset to not being in dummy state.
The problem is that you can't just state all of your assets as CPU_PERSISTENT because entire data which ordinarily would have been GPU-only is now persistent on the CPU data in the RAM.
Ideally you'd want to put objects into the dummy state and enjoy your freed up RAM, and bring them back from the dummy state by reloading them when necessary.
The MTL material loader had to be able to introspect into an ICPUImage returned by getAsset from another loader (JPEG, PNG, etc.), for the purpose of derivative map creation via an image filter.
We have introduced the restoreFrom method for each asset type, with a depth parameter (restore but only up to a certain dependency depth). This requires us to have an identical but not-cached IAsset Directed Acyclic Graph which we can restore from (take over the contents, std::move-style).
So right now you'd need to reload this manually, but ideally we'd want the IAssetLoader to do a special getAsset which will automatically restore from dummy whenever a dependennt IAsset needs to be retrieved with all its data (usually it doesn't).
To automate this process we will introduce a IAssetLoader::interm_getRestoredAssetInHierarchy, in general it should work like this:
-
getAssetvia override - If asset was not found at all (dummy or not) then handle the load failure with override as usual
- if you don't require to be able to introspect the returned asset or its not a dummy then continue as usual like in
IAssetLoader::interm_getAssetInHierarchy -
getAssetagain but with theDUPLICATEandDONT_CACHEflag (for as many levels as you need, usually only the first) - if step 4 fails to return a non-dummy asset then handle the load failure with override as usual
- take your original asset from step 1 and call
canBeRestoredFromusing asset from stop 4 as parameter - if 6 returns true then call
restoreFromon asset from step 1 and use asset from stop 4 as parameter - drop asset from step 4 (it has now swapped its mutable contents with asset from step 1)
- continue as you would if you succeeded at step 3 right away
You can over-declare descriptor set layouts, i.e. a set that has every single resource and more that a shader could use (all the textures, all the buffers for all shader types).
It's completely okay to have a descriptor in a set that is not used by the shader (not the other way round), and it's okay not to populate a descriptor set binding that was specified in the layout as long as it's not statically used by the shader (dead code).
This helps the engine do less strenous resource rebinds (see Vulkan pipeline compatibility rules).
Most formats such as STL, PLY, OBJ and even glTF declare a very limited set of materials.
You will find that instead of creating a new ICPUSpecializedShader for every single new ICPURenderpassIndependentPipeline, it would make much more sense to create the few ICPUSpecializedShaders and even ICPUDescriptorSetLayout as well as pipeline layouts in the constructor of the loader and cache them under a special path (similar to GLSL built-in includes) in the asset manager cache (then remove upon loader destruction).
You should be aiming to use as few ICPUShader as possible, and have them compile to SPIR-V, there isn't really a reason to not generate all the ICPUShaders you are going to use in the constructor of the pipeline loader.
is only when specialization constants cannot achieve the material, examples:
- different shader in-out blocks (vertex inputs, shader in-out blocks, fragment color outputs)
- types of variables/descriptors or declarations (especially structs) need to change when you have a reason to save on descriptor set bindings (2 and 3 apply to descriptor set layouts)
Normally you can declare all the bindings you'll need for all descriptors, then if specialization constant disables their use, they can remain both in the unspecified in the layout and unpopulated in the set.
Note: when you have different vertex inputs or fragment outputs, you need a separate shader only when the shader-format changes, not the API. So you can still use the same shader if you change from EF_R32G32_SFLOAT to EF_R8G8_UNORM, because the input/output on the shader side is still a vec2. However if you change between SFLOAT/UNORM/SNORM and INT and UINT, then you'd have a problem because declaration goes from vecN to ivecN to uvecN in the GLSL.
When you can pass the argument to an if or switch as a single push_constant or UBO (bit extraction allowed).
Note that switching between materials implemented via uber-shader does not cause unused descriptors to not be statically-used unlike implementing it via separate shader specializations. So the descriptor in the layout will have to be populated if only a flow-control-statement dependent on a push constant or UBO guards its usage. This might be undesireable especially for large buffers or textures as they might waste GPU cache, so sometimes specializing via separate specializations or even ICPUShaders is acceptable.
- STL normal attribute plus optional color attribute so it would be logical to only create
- two vertex
- fragment shader pair
- descriptor layout
- pipeline layout (one with per-vertex color, one without)
Even the pipeline you'd be returning could only come in two variants (not many parameters could change).
-
OBJ only defines 10 illumination models, some of which we can't support out of the box (raytracing and similar) so there will probably only be a few permutations. You could collapse some of the permutations through the use of an uber-shader, the rest could be dealt with specialization constants. However OBJ vertex attributes may change (mostly presence, format irrelevant) so a few separate shaders may be needed. All in all, all the shaders and possibly even specializations + layouts can be precomputed for MTL/OBJ.
-
BAW format allows to serialize everything without limits, so nothing can be precomputed.
We want to avoid redefinitions of Frensel, GGX, Smith, etc. functions that we've already developed (for the BRDF explorer and others). Use the built-in headers!
If you need some functions or formulae, then make a built-in GLSL header with them and check with @devshgraphicsprogramming if it can be added to the engine core (outside and before the loader, GLSL code shared with all), we want as many GLSL headers in the engine core as possible.
Even if it can't go into engine core, split out the common parts of your shaders into built-in includes, and register the built-in includes with the engine in the AssetLoader's constructor!
You could do
#include "whatever/path/we/have/for/builtins/DefaultCameraData.glsl"to include some predefined structures, for instance
struct DefaultCameraData
{
mat4x3 view;
mat4x3 viewInverse;
mat4 proj;
mat4 projInverse;
mat4 projView;
mat4 projViewInverse;
};The system provides also various scenarios, for example when a specific location is needed in layout qualifier
#include "whatever/path/we/have/for/builtins/defaultCameraUBO/location/${loc}.glsl"
#include "whatever/path/we/have/for/builtins/DefaultCameraData.glsl"
layout(set=1, location=${loc}, row_major) DefaultPerViewUBO
{
DefaultCameraData data;
} defaultPerViewUBO;You want to guard every single function definition and descriptor set declaration with something akin to a header guard.

}Lighting (deferred, GI, forward, direct, shadowing, etc.) is the job of the renderer/programmer who knows what they are doing.
The material shaders shall provide BSDF and Importance Sampling Functions Only.
Default shader should visualize a simple non shadowed point-light of constant-world-space-intensity positioned at the eye/camera (like current example nr. 5 etc.).
If you know that your material is intended to be transparent, you can enable blending (additive or overlay/ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA), I prefer precomputed RGB blend function (so you already multiply source_rgb by source_alpha in the shader).
Corollary, the fragment shader will always output a single vec4 color.
For the benefit of mirror/conductor materials, environment map lighting / IBL is allowed.
So your shader for all loaders will most probably be:
#ifndef _FRAG_MAIN_DEFINED_
#define _FRAG_MAIN_DEFINED_
void main()
{
BSDFIsotropicParams parameters;
// your BSDFSample is direction towards light (camera)
... // generate parameters from lightPos, cameraPos, viewDir and tangent-space
// might be inf by chance
vec3 totalColor = bsdf_eval(parameters);
if (specContantUsingIBL)
{
for (uint i=0u; i<specConstantMaxIBLSamples; i++)
{
vec2 _sample2d = gen_2d_sample(i);
totalColor += bsdf_cos_sample_eval(tspaceViewDir,_sample2d);
}
}
color = totalColor;
}
#endifEngine supports both models. For instance OBJ loader may flip from right hand to left hand, which means sponza looks right only with a left-hand camera attached. Depending on loader flags a flip may be performed - so the positions and normals around X axie while loading.
The example of following is
if(_params.loaderFlags & E_LOADER_PARAMETER_FLAGS::ELPF_RIGHT_HANDED_MESHES)
// perform flip on normal or position vertex
