It results in a six-fold reduction of the amount of data transferred into GPU because there is no need to duplicate vertices for every triangle. Also, normals aren't needed to be transferred to GPU.
key in the multi-material painting gizmo.
Fixed also a similar issue in support and seam gizmos where an object was displayed with the wrong color after pressing the ESC key.
Renamed its_create_neighbors_index() / its_create_neighbors_index_par() to its_face_neighbors() / its_face_neighbors_par().
New variant of its_face_edge_ids() to create edge IDs from face neighbors.
Fixed some incorrect use of _NDEBUG, it should be NDEBUG.
PrintObject::slice_support_volumes() returns newly Polygons, which are cheaper than ExPolygons.
Updated SeamPlacer and SupportMaterial to use regions defined as Polygons, not ExPolygons.
TriangleSelector::get_facets_strict() returning a patch with T-joints retriangulated.
New slice_mesh_slabs() - slicing projections of a triangle patch into top / bottom layers of slices, for MMU top / bottom segmentation.
TriangleMeshSlicer - use 64 mutexes instead of one when scattering sliced triangles into layers. This makes a big difference on modern many core desktop computers.
When applying MM segmented regions to input regions, the split regions are now re-merged with 10x higher positive offset epsilon to avoid creating gaps.
When testing for existence of paint-on supports or seam, use a more efficient has_facets() test, which does not deserialize into the expensive TriangleSelector tree structure.
GLIndexedVertexArray newly uses Eigen::AlignedBox<float, 3> for efficiency instead of our double based BoundingBoxf3.
Improved MMU painting refresh speed by optimizing generation of the vertex buffers.
Refactored MMU segmentation - projection of painted surfaces from top / bottom.
1) Parallelized.
2) Using the new slice_mesh_slabs() instead of projecting one triangle by the other and merging them with Clipper.
This commit also fixed the following issues:
1) After loading a 3MF with painted triangles using the MMU painting gizmo, the painted triangles might not be displayed correctly in the MMU painting gizmo.
2) The MMU segmentation was unnecessarily executed for all layers and not just for the painted layers.
3) Object's base color wasn't changed when the assigned extruder for that object was changed while the MMU paint gizmo was opened.
4) Changing the base color of an object was only possible by removing all painted triangles.
The cracks were caused by using glPolygonOffset to resolve Z-fighting. All triangles of the object were firstly rendered entirely with a base color. And then paint triangles were drawn over these already rendered triangles.
TriangleSelector::valid refactored to m_valid and valid()
and bool members moved next to each other to shrink data structure
size due to memory alignment.
