The new implementation leverage compute shaders to reduce the
number of passes and complexity.
The max blur amount is now detected automatically, replacing the property
in the render panel by a simple checkbox.
The dilation algorithm has also been rewritten from scratch into a 1 pass
algorithm that does the dilation more efficiently and more precisely.
Some differences with the old implementation can be observed in areas with
complex motion.
The improvements over the old implementation are:
- Improved history reprojection filter (catmull-rom)
- Use proper velocity for history reprojection.
- History clipping is now done in YCoCg color space using better algorithm.
- Velocity is dilated to keep correct edge anti-aliasing on moving objects.
As a result, the 3x3 blocks that made the image smoother in the previous
implementation are no longer visible is replaced by correct antialiasing.
This removes the velocity resolve pass in order to reduce the bandwidth
usage. The velocities are just resolved as they are loadded in the film
pass.
This modules handles renderpasses allocation and filling. Also handles
blitting to viewport framebuffer and render result reading.
Changes against the old implementation:
- the filling of the renderpasses happens all at once requiring
only 1 geometry pass.
- The filtering is optimized with weights precomputed on CPU and
reuse of neighboor pixels.
- Only one accumulation buffer for renderpasses (no ping-pong).
- Accumulation happens in one pass for every passes using a single
dispatch or fullscreen triangle pass.
TAA and history reprojection is not yet implemented.
AOVs support is present but with a 16 AOV limit for now.
Cryptomatte is not yet implemented.
