The logic is now handled by RenderingManager, and Camera sets its
animation's first person offset height. Due to how NpcAnimation seems to
be updated, it has to be the one to actually set its own nodes, in the
case of the hands. Otherwise, the hands would not move without a messier
hack.
- Consistent triangle alignment, fixes a noticable crack near the census and excise office. Note that alignment is still not the same as vanilla. Vanilla uses a weird diagonal pattern. I hope there aren't more trouble spots that will force us to replicate vanilla, but at least we can do that now.
- Fixes several blending issues and cell border seams
- Fix map render to use the terrain bounding box instead of an arbitrary height
- Different LODs are now properly connected instead of using skirts
- Support self shadowing
- Normals and colors are stored in the vertices instead of a texture, this enables per-vertex lighting which should improve performance, fix compatibility issues due to the PS getting too large and mimic vanilla better
- Support a fixed function fallback (though the splatting shader usually performs better)
- Designed for distant land support - test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wnd9EuPJIY - we can't really enable this yet due to depth precision issues when using a large view distance
Ogre::StaticGeometry doesn't seem to like materials being changed at runtime. It stores raw pointers to Ogre::Technique objects also, which conflicts with shiny's way of managing "unloaded" materials as having zero techniques. If a static geometry object is baked from an unloaded material, it won't find any techniques to use and can't render. By moving the unload call afterwards, it will be detected as in use by a renderable and won't be unloaded. Ideally this needs fixing of Ogre::StaticGeometry to not hold on to Technique objects (they also currently need to be rebuilt whenever user settings are changed, which also causes "unloading" of materials)
