Basic PostProcessing Framework #51

Closed Wumpf closed 10 years ago

Wumpf commented 10 years ago

Need to create a separate PostProcessing class that can take care of Monolith post processing needs.

Design goals:

tailored to Monolith
- no fancy dancy mega postprocessing framework
- exposed through a facade class that contains high level functions like "SetAmbientOcclusionQuality(BLUB)
fast
- merged postprocessing passes
usable for spontaneous ingame effects
- easy change of "mood" by simple parameters

Consequences:

PostProcessing-system will take care of (final) backbuffer writes
Everything else is written into an immediate framebuffer that is fed to the PostProcessing system
May need a "Scratch-Texture-Pool" - a system that returns textures with given size and format that can be reused unless someone decides to explicitly purge them. As long as a user has scratch texture handle, the texture won't be given to anyone else

No scratch pool yet since this feature is probably only needed for very complex and flexible postprocessing chains.
