Geometric distortion lands in the final blit as a Brown-Conrady radial and tangential warp, with anamorphic squeeze and decentering. It is a gather, so a coefficient below 1 pulls samples toward the centre and reads as barrel; pincushion is what pushes samples off the source and would show black corners, which is the opposite of what the plan for this work assumed. Fit and Fill rescale to avoid that, solved exactly on the CPU with a two-slab exit test over 64 boundary probes -- a non-zero secondary coefficient makes the radial polynomial non-monotonic, so the binding probe can fall between sparse samples. gl_FragDepth is deliberately left unwarped: overlays drawn after the blit rasterise in the unwarped projection either way, so warping depth would only desynchronise the buffer from the projection they use. Depth of field moves ahead of both bloom and the tonemapper and runs in place on mRT->screen. Gathering over display-space values is gathering over already-compressed highlights, which is why stock bokeh reads flat and why postDeferredF carried a weighting hack to fake the pop back; pre-bloom is the optical order, so a defocused highlight blooms as a soft disc rather than a sharp core on a blurred background. The combine writes back under setColorMask(true, false): mRT->screen.a carries the legacy prim-glow tag that bloomExtractF reads in HDR and glowExtractF reads as its only live key without it, so masking alpha preserves every existing contract instead of rewriting them. DoF owns dofSharp and dofBlur, main pack only, and deferredLight is neither used nor reformatted -- it is the SSAO and sun-shadow buffer every deferred lighting shader samples, and widening it for one late pass would have doubled a frame-wide bandwidth cost on exactly the low-end hardware this path exists for. Dropping RenderDepthOfField from its allocation condition also hands memory back to anyone running DoF with shadows and SSAO off. Bokeh gains a shaped aperture, optical vignetting, anamorphic deformation and defocus fringing, all behind a single DOF_SHAPED define so none of it exists in the binary unless something is switched on. The gather weighting is now an energy-conserving average with an opt-in highlight boost and a firefly clamp; the old 0.25 + r+g+b weight was written for values already clamped to display range and becomes an accidental max filter on linear HDR.

Lens dirt multiplies bloom and flare by a plate of grime on the front element, so it only lights up where something is already glowing -- point the camera at a flat wall and the lens looks clean however high the strength goes, which is both the physical behaviour and what keeps it cheap. A default plate ships in app_settings/lensdirt so raising one slider is the whole interaction; it is generated by scripts/content_tools/generate_lens_dirt.py from a seeded RNG, committed beside it so the asset is reproducible and its provenance unambiguous. The loader derives both texture formats from the component count rather than hardcoding RGB8, and swizzles single-channel plates across RGB, since GL_R8 otherwise samples as (r, 0, 0, 1) and tints every speck red. The plate is cover-fit rather than stretched: authored square, it would otherwise scale to the window aspect and smear every mote into an ellipse on a wide display. The cross-screen filter streaks every thresholded highlight, unlike the lens flare starburst which is locked to the sun. Each arm gets its own three-pass chain, strictly one-sided, and that detail is load-bearing: composing three passes of four taps at quadrupling strides places a sample at every offset i + 4j + 16k, which is base-4 positional notation and therefore covers 0..63 exactly once. Tap counts that disagree with the stride, or passes that sample more than one direction, both break that tiling into interference that reads on screen as self-similar spikes along the arms. Passes are normalised by total tap weight rather than arm count, so falloff shapes the arms without also setting their brightness and a large glowing surface is not multiplied by the per-pass gain three times over. Falloff is authored as a tightness and converted to the exponential base on the CPU, because the base itself is only useful across a sliver of its range. The colour LUT picker is generalised into populateAssetCombo rather than cloned for lens dirt, so the directory-iteration and selection subtleties exist once instead of in two copies that would drift.

RenderLensFlareStarburstSpikes feeds the angular frequency of a cos() pattern, and abs(cos(theta * N)) has two lobes per turn per cycle, so the star carries 2N spikes rather than N. The setting text said the opposite and then compounded it: it told artists that real cameras show twice the blade count and to enter that, which doubles again on screen -- a 6-blade iris, followed literally, produced 24 spikes instead of 6. Measured rather than reasoned, because the expression is not just its fundamental: it sums harmonics at 2N and 4N as well. Sampling the pattern at the shipped sharpness shows exactly 2N maxima at full amplitude with a clean gap down to a secondary tier at 68% of peak, so 2N is genuinely the spike count and the harmonics read as the finer rays between the arms. The text now says that, gives the physical rule the value derives from -- one spike per blade for an even iris, two per blade for an odd one -- and works the two examples. The slider label moves from "Spikes" to "Spike Pairs", which is what the value literally counts, so the doubling is visible without reading the tooltip.

Optical vignetting took its barrel offset straight from raw UV, so "distance from the optical axis" reached 1.0 at the left edge of the frame and also 1.0 at the top edge. Those are the same number for two very different distances: on a 21:9 display the sides sit far outside the image circle the top and bottom sit inside, and the clipping followed the viewport rectangle instead of the lens. Bokeh a third of the way in from the side already went to slivers while bokeh at the top edge stayed round. It now measures the way the chromatic aberration and the vignette do -- aspect-corrected per axis, then normalised over the half-diagonal -- so the corner reads 1.0 on any viewport shape and the edges keep the asymmetry a real image circle has. The measurement is pulled out as field_dir and field_r rather than folded into the offset, because it is the frame geometry rather than anything specific to the cat's eye, and the next radial effect in this pass will want the same numbers rather than its own subtly different ones. Magnitudes drop as a result: the corner falls from 1.414x the amount to 1.0x and the edge midpoints fall further, so a tuned value wants raising by roughly half again. The Comment's guide values move with it. Nothing ships with this above zero, all three bundled Looks included, so only hand-tuned settings are affected.

Three aberrations that belong to the glass rather than the diaphragm, all inside the existing DOF_SHAPED permutation so none of it reaches the binary unless something is switched on. Spherical aberration redistributes weight across the defocus disc: positive hollows the middle and brightens the rim for the soap-bubble look, negative fills it for a creamy one. That a per-sample weight is very nearly the bokeh's radial profile is a property of the gather rather than an assumption -- ring sample counts grow with radius while rings stay one pixel apart, so the sampling is close to area-uniform. Not exactly: truncating the per-ring count biases density by up to 5% at small radii, and the outermost ring sits at radius_norm 1.0 where a continuous integral would half-weight it, so the discrete mean deviates by up to a quarter at 3-4px of blur. That is harmless while the gather normalises by w and would matter a great deal if it did not. The sign is multiplied by -cof_sign. cof_sign is +1 in front of the focal plane, and RenderDepthOfFieldNearBlur defaults off, which compiles the near gather out entirely -- so the background is the only field most users render, and anchoring the control to the foreground would invert it for everyone. Field stretch deforms the disc toward the frame edges: across the radius for the Petzval swirl, along it for comatic elongation. The sample offset therefore stops being an axis-aligned pair and becomes a general 2x2 basis, which forces ring_density to become the basis's largest singular value. That is exact rather than approximate -- for a diagonal basis the closed form collapses to max(anam.x, anam.y), the expression it replaces -- and it is also necessary, because with anamorphic and field stretch both live the two stretch axes can oppose and the true maximum lands *below* max(anam), so no max(old, new) shortcut exists. The unshaped gather keeps the plain axis-aligned form rather than trusting the compiler to fold a general basis back down for the path every DoF user without a shaped effect takes. Comatic asymmetry draws each highlight into a comet pointing away from frame centre. Two things about it are easy to get backwards and both were, so they are worth stating. This pass is a gather, so a point source renders as the weight function mirrored through the origin -- favouring outward samples deposits light on the inward side and the comet points at the middle of the frame. And the bias axis has to be measured in the disc's parameter space, where samples are chosen: the screen-space centroid is M times the parameter-space centroid, so biasing along M^T(field) lands the comet along M M^T(field), which is 41 degrees off under a strong anamorphic squeeze. Biasing along the inverse puts it back on the field direction exactly, in every configuration tried. Strength ramps with field radius, so it is zero on the optical axis where coma is zero by definition. Both weights share a floor of 0.15 rather than clamping at zero, and the centre tap carries the profile's weight at radius 0 rather than a bare 1.0. One number fixes two artefacts. Near a depth edge the outer rings are all rejected by the sc > min_sc test, so a rim-bright profile left the survivors weighted near nothing and the unweighted centre tap carried 62% of the result where it should carry 9% -- adjacent pixels swinging 28% to 62%, which reads as speckle along every defocus transition. And a creamy profile put exactly 0.0 on the outermost, largest ring, so 40% of all taps at 4px of blur were fetched, tinted and multiplied away. Floored, the centre-tap share tracks the unaberrated baseline to within a percent at every blur size, and with the effects off the result is unchanged to the digit. The aberrations also fade in with blur size. radius_norm is quantised by ring, so a disc under about 1.5px is a single ring sitting at 1.0; a shaped weight there applies to every surviving sample at once and the blur either collapses or goes one-sided. Fading to zero below that reproduces the unaberrated result exactly, and full strength arrives by 4px where four rings exist to shape. The controls gate on RenderDepthOfField like every other bokeh row, fold into a single Lightbox section per doc/LIGHTBOX.md rather than splitting a two-row tail, and cat's-eye gains headroom to 1.5 -- measuring its offset from the image circle lowered it everywhere, so a value tuned before that change wants roughly half again as much and could no longer reach it.

Three savings in the bloom and cross-filter path, none of which change a pixel. The cross filter ran unconditionally. Its output is scaled by bloom strength where it is composited, so at strength 0 the streaks are invisible -- and the viewer still ran all thirteen draws to produce them: 8.3 Mpx of fill, 33 M fetches and roughly 52 MB of framebuffer traffic per frame at 1080p and four arms, discarded by a multiply. The setting text already told users that bloom strength 0 silences the effect, which was true of the picture and false of the cost. Folding bloom strength into the streak gate reuses the existing release path rather than adding a second one. Only the streaks, though, not the pyramid around them. generateLuminance binds bloomMip[0] as the emissive term for auto-exposure, so gating the whole of generateBloomHDR would leave exposure metering against a buffer that stopped updating -- frozen at whatever was last bright, or undefined on the first frame after allocation. The pyramid keeps running. The streak composite becomes a sampler instead of a pass. It existed only to add a half-size buffer into mip 0, which cost a full-resolution read-modify-write of the pyramid top every frame -- 16.6 MB, or 33.2 MB with halation on. colorCorrect already samples that pyramid, so one more sampler replaces the whole draw. It also retires the degenerate copy that pass had become: it ran the streak shader with a zero step length, so all four taps sampled the same texel, 6.2 M fetches a frame to compute a weighted average of one value. The streaks are added to bloom_term inside the shader rather than to the scene directly, and that is the load-bearing detail. Living inside the pyramid gave them two couplings for free: bloom strength scaled them, and they lit the lens dirt through lens_light. Adding them anywhere else would have kept the picture and silently dropped the dirt interaction. Last, the accumulator clear goes. Arm 0's final pass now overwrites where the others add, and the fullscreen triangle covers every texel -- the same argument the scratch passes already used to justify having no clear of their own. That couples correctness to the first iteration running, which holds because the arm count is clamped to at least 2. Measured against a reference, folding the composite is not a quality trade: the single upsample it leaves behind lands within a percent of the two chained ones it replaces at every bloom resolution scale, and is marginally better at half.

The bundled plate was invisible. Chasing an earlier note that it looked too bright, the tone curve got an exponent of 2.6, and that did not darken the plate so much as delete the range dirt actually reads in: the median pixel sat at 0.004 and only 0.14% of the image cleared 0.25. What survived was 59 bright dots out of a million pixels, so at the slider's maximum the typical pixel added under one percent of the bloom. Grime reads as a mottled veil over bright areas; a plate can have bright specks and still be invisible if everything between them is black. So the shipped asset becomes four, and the exponents are per-preset and far gentler. Subtle is a clean lens that has been outdoors, Dirty is one nobody has wiped in a while, Extreme is filthy. Damaged is not simply more of the same: it carries scratches and coating chips -- long near-straight bright lines and small ragged blowouts, both sharper than anything in the muck layers -- so it differs in character rather than in level, and sits beside Dirty rather than past Extreme. Each preset now declares the histogram it is aiming for and the bake checks itself against it, because "looks about right" is exactly the judgement that produced the invisible plate. The check scores coverage and the 99th percentile and deliberately ignores the median: a subtle plate is supposed to be mostly black, and scoring its median would drag every variant to the same level. All four land within 3% of target. Tuning was done against the histogram rather than by eye. The tone curve is a final LUT, so each preset was baked once with an identity curve and the curve then searched over the resulting histogram -- which also showed that Subtle's median could not be fixed by any curve, because coverage comes from the layers and no exponent invents area that was never drawn. The per-preset seed offset is keyed to the preset's fixed position rather than its index in the current run. Keyed to the run, baking one variant alone produced a different image than --all did, which would have quietly undermined the reason the generator is committed at all. DefaultDirt.png is gone and the setting now defaults to Dirty.png. Anyone carrying the old name in their settings will find dirt silently off until they pick a plate, which the loader already handles by forcing strength to zero rather than sampling an unbound texture.

ARCHITECTURE.md described the post chain as it was before this branch, and the part most likely to mislead was the pass order: it listed bloom before depth of field, which is now backwards, and the depth-of-field bullet described two passes when there are three, omitted the gather entirely along with its four compile-time variants, and listed three settings out of what is now closer to twenty. The render target inventory had none of dofSharp, dofBlur or crossFilter, and the final-blit and colorCorrect bullets between them accounted for none of lens distortion, lens dirt or the cross-filter composite. Three errors on those same lines predate this branch and are corrected while the lines are being rewritten, because leaving a known-wrong sentence beside a freshly corrected one is worse than either. mGlow[3] was labelled the bloom pyramid; it is the legacy non-HDR glow chain, and the HDR pyramid is bloomMip[] with up to seven levels. Chromatic aberration was listed as a final-blit effect while a line thirty below correctly placed it in colorCorrect. And the post-process ping-pong members were named with an m-prefix they do not have. LIGHTBOX.md stated nothing this branch violates -- the height arithmetic, the enum-dropdown rule and the bundled-Looks requirement all still hold, and were checked mechanically rather than by eye. It had four gaps. The asset-picker combo is a third kind of dropdown, neither enum nor plain: it binds a string setting to a file name, is filled from C++, and has four requirements that are each silent when missed, including a selectByValue that is the only thing restoring the saved value when the floater opens. That was a one-off for the colour LUT and undocumented then; this branch generalised it into populateAssetCombo, so it is now a recipe worth writing down. The callback inventory was missing both folder-opening handlers, the two clean_plate lists had grown without their parentheticals following, and audit_bundled_looks now enforces something the doc never stated: rewording a setting's Comment obliges you to re-save the three bundled Looks, because each carries a copy that nothing reads and nothing used to check.

Cleanup only. No behaviour changes, and the shaders still compile clean at both GL 4.1 and 4.2 across all eight depth-of-field permutations. Most of it is comments the composite fold left describing code that no longer exists: a "part 1 of 2" banner with no part 2, two counts of thirteen passes where twelve remain, and two separate rationales explaining how the final draw into bloomMip[0] preserves the pyramid's alpha -- there is no such draw any more. crossFilterF's alpha comment is rewritten around what is actually true now, which is that every target in the chain is RGB-only and the write is discarded. Two dead things go with them. uCrossStrength was still being multiplied into every streak pass, always by 1.0, because the fold moved the user value into colorCorrect and left the uniform behind; it and its upload are gone. res_scale was declared in postDeferredF and never read -- the gather works in full-resolution pixels and only dofCombineF uses the scale -- so the declaration and the no-op upload feeding it go too. That one predates the branch, but this file was rewritten twice here and a reviewer would rightly expect it caught. One comment contradicted the code it sits above rather than merely lagging it: it said the centre sample is neither clamped nor reweighted, while main() now shape-weights it deliberately, which is what stops a rim-bright profile leaving the sharp image bleeding through the disc. Both statements were in the same file. The rest is consistency. RenderCrossFilterStrength was read under two different local names with the ceiling of 32 hard-coded at each, in two files that have to agree or the effect changes brightness between "is it on" and "how bright" -- now one name and one CROSS_FILTER_MAX_STRENGTH beside CROSS_FILTER_TAPS. bokehWeight's `luma` is a channel peak, and the function twelve lines above already calls the identical expression `peak`. dofSampleNear took a min_sc it never read. The cross-filter allocation logged at INFO on every reallocation, which is every window resize; no sibling target does that, so it drops to DEBUGS. Two comments still said "the bundled plate" when four now ship. audit_bundled_looks moves behind !LL_RELEASE_FOR_DOWNLOAD, definition and call together. It checks that files in the source tree agree with each other, which is a developer's problem and one a shipped build can do nothing about. compositeBloomHDR keeps its comment but gains an honest one. It has never had a caller anywhere in the tree, and after the fold it is no longer even equivalent to the path it shadows -- streaks are composited only in colorCorrectF, so reviving it would silently drop them.

The histogram check printed its verdict and then returned nothing, so the process exited 0 whether or not a plate had missed its target. A regeneration or packaging step had no way to refuse a bad bake, which makes the check decorative — and the check exists precisely because "looks about right" is the judgement that produced an invisible plate in the first place. Verified both directions: a clean bake of all four still exits 0 and reproduces the committed plates byte for byte, and forcing a preset's target out of reach returns 1. Raised by review on AlchemyViewer#382. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Review feedback on the bundled plates: they should be resolution-independent and adjustable in the viewer. Both follow from generating the plate rather than loading one, so lensDirtGenF draws it into a render target -- defocused dust, wipe smudges, stray fibres, fine grit and optional scratches, out of hashes, cellular lookups and segment distance fields. Generating at the frame's own resolution retires the cover-fit the square plates needed. A square image sampled with screen UV stretches every round mote into an ellipse on a wide display, and the old path scaled the shorter axis to compensate, which cost the frame's edges. There is nothing to fit when the plate is made at the shape it will be read at. This is not a per-frame pass, and that is the whole reason the effect can be procedural at all. Four cellular layers over a 3x3 neighbourhood, two fBm fields and up to 44 segment distance fields per pixel is unthinkable sixty times a second and unremarkable once, which is what lets this draw discrete features rather than settling for whatever a couple of octaves of noise happen to look like. The per-frame cost of the effect is unchanged: still the single texture fetch in colorCorrect. Nothing is allocated until the effect is switched on, which also retires the plate that used to upload at startup for an effect that defaults off. Four findings shaped the generator, each measured against the plates it replaces rather than eyeballed. One feature per grid cell is inherently even and dirt is not, so cells are dropped on a hash and radii are raised to a power -- most motes small, a few large. A Gaussian falloff has no edge anywhere and dissolves into fog once neighbours overlap, so the profile is a flat interior with a quick rim, which is what a drawn shape lightly blurred looks like. The low-frequency clump field that makes dirt pool rather than spread evenly also moves the plate's overall density, because its own spatial mean varies from seed to seed and it multiplies every mote layer: at the frequency first tried, identical settings covered anywhere from 19% to 76% of the frame on nothing but the seed. And the centre fade has to be wider than it looks like it needs to be, because that same clump field swings harder than a gentle vignette does and simply buries it. Rebuilds are bounded by the UI rather than by a resolution cap. Capping the plate bounds the cost of one rebuild but not the number of them, and the count is what hurts: a slider drag asks for a plate every frame, and the slower the machine the more of the drag it stutters through, which is backwards. The Lightbox raises a flag on a generation slider's mouse-down and lowers it on mouse-up, so a drag costs one plate, on release, where the result is being looked for anyway. Only a drag is held off -- typed values, reset buttons, applying a Look, undo and window resizes all rebuild on the spot, where a settle timer would have delayed every one of them for no reason. LLSlider fires its mouse-up from handleMouseUp and implements no onMouseCaptureLost, so a capture stolen mid-drag would leave the flag stuck and the plate frozen; the mouse captor is tested alongside it as a failsafe. Seven settings replace RenderLensDirtTexture, and the four bundled looks survive as tuned values in the settings' comments rather than as files. Seed is not a neutral control and its comment says so: it moves overall density by twenty or thirty percent as well as the arrangement, for the clump-field reason above. The PNGs, the picker, the Open Folder button and the loader are gone. populateAssetCombo and openUserAssetFolder stay parameterised by directory even though the colour LUT is once again their only caller, because the shape is the shared part and collapsing them back would only have to be undone for the next asset. generate_lens_dirt.py becomes check_lens_dirt.py. Its drawing code is dead, but its histogram targets are the acceptance criteria for the shader, and that check is what caught the invisible plate in the first place. It is now a Python mirror of the shader plus those targets. Because a mirror that has drifted measures something the viewer does not render, --verify-port compares the two constant streams in order and refuses to report numbers when they disagree; both routines are written statement for statement so that comparison can work, and tidying either one breaks it.

After discussion, Lens Dirt has been reworked into a procedural bake to image entirely done within the viewer, rather than shipped offline bakes. Users are now able to fine tune every aspect of the dirt. This has also resulted in a large improvement to lens dirt quality. |

Two guards from review, and a third the same reasoning implies. verify_port checked the GLSL span for None and not the Python one, so a _span miss went straight into re.sub and died with a TypeError. The anchors it looks for are in this very file, which makes the miss mean exactly one thing -- build() has been restructured -- and that is the drift the check exists to report. Failing to report it, in a traceback, in the one case it was written for, is the worst available outcome. It now says so and returns false. --seeds 0 left the statistics list empty and the averaging divided by its length. --width 0 and --height 0 were not raised in review but fail the same way one step earlier: linspace yields nothing, and describe() indexes an empty array. All three are rejected by argparse, which can name the argument rather than surface a ZeroDivisionError from four frames down. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The histogram check printed its verdict and then returned nothing, so the process exited 0 whether or not a plate had missed its target. A regeneration or packaging step had no way to refuse a bad bake, which makes the check decorative — and the check exists precisely because "looks about right" is the judgement that produced an invisible plate in the first place. Verified both directions: a clean bake of all four still exits 0 and reproduces the committed plates byte for byte, and forcing a preset's target out of reach returns 1. Raised by review on #382.

Description
Adds a set of physically-motivated lens and camera effects to the post-process
stack, and rebuilds depth of field around them.
The structural change is the depth-of-field reorder. DoF used to run last,
over an already-tonemapped, already-sharpened SDR image. It now runs
pre-tonemap and pre-bloom, on linear HDR. Gathering over display-space
values is gathering over already-compressed highlights, which is why stock bokeh
reads flat and why
postDeferredFcarried a0.25 + r+g+bweighting hack tofake the pop back — that hack is gone, replaced by an energy-conserving average
with an opt-in highlight boost and a firefly clamp. Bloom-after-defocus is also
the optical order, so a defocused highlight now blooms as a soft disc instead of
a sharp core floating on a blurred background.
Bloom still runs before DoF's combine writes back, so the legacy alpha-tagged
prim-glow signal is untouched: the combine writes under
setColorMask(true, false)and every existing alpha contract survives.Effects added

Additional Notes
Lens dirt is generated rather than bundled, following review feedback that
it should be resolution-independent and adjustable in the viewer. A shader draws
the plate into a render target -- defocused dust, wipe smudges, stray fibres,
fine grit and optional scratches, out of hashes and distance fields -- so the
four PNGs, the bake script, the picker and
RenderLensDirtTextureare gone.Seven settings replace them, and the four old presets survive as tuned values in
those settings' comments rather than as files.
Generating at the frame's own resolution retires the cover-fit the square plates
needed: a mote is round on an ultrawide because the plate was made at that
aspect, not fitted to it afterwards. The per-frame cost is unchanged -- still
one texture fetch in
colorCorrect-- because generation runs only when aparameter moves or the window resizes, and nothing is allocated at all until the
effect is switched on.
Full resolution is affordable because rebuilds are bounded by the UI rather than
by a resolution cap. A cap bounds the cost of one rebuild but not the number of
them, and the count is what hurts: a slider drag asks for a plate every frame,
and the slower the machine the more of the drag it stutters through. The
Lightbox raises a flag on a generation slider's mouse-down and lowers it on
mouse-up, so a drag costs one plate, on release. Typed values, reset buttons,
applying a Look, undo and window resizes are not drags and rebuild immediately.
generate_lens_dirt.pybecomescheck_lens_dirt.py: a Python mirror of theshader plus the histogram targets carried over from the plates it replaces,
which are what caught the invisible plate earlier in this branch. Because a
mirror that has drifted measures something the viewer does not render,
--verify-portcompares the two constant streams in order and refuses to reportnumbers when they disagree.
Starburst behavior description wasn't quite correct and was stumbled on during
development and testing to ensure lightbox was behaving with the new options.
Description has been updated to match real behavior.
Two properties are pixel-identity by construction, and are the fastest way
to sanity-check the risky parts: with the aberration sliders at zero the gather
reduces to the previous code exactly (the general 2×2 sample basis collapses to
the old axis-aligned pair, and the singular-value ring density collapses to the
old
max(anam.x, anam.y)), and with the shaped effects off an unshaped programis bound and none of the new code exists in the binary.
Why the streaks composite where they do. They are added inside
colorCorrect, alongside the bloom pyramid it already samples, rather than in apass of their own — which avoids a full-resolution read-modify-write of the
pyramid top, 16.6 MB per frame and 33.2 MB with halation on. Precision drove the
choice as much as bandwidth:
bloomMip[0]isR11F_G11F_B10Fby default,roughly a 6-bit mantissa, and a 0.05 streak added to a bloom pixel already at
8.0 quantises to exactly zero. Compositing in-shader at full float precision
keeps streaks alive where highlights are brightest, which is where they should
read most strongly. Adding them to
bloom_termrather than to the scene alsokeeps two couplings intact: bloom strength scales them, and they light the lens
dirt.
Streak generation is gated on bloom strength for the same reason — the effect is
scaled by it at composite, so at zero the twelve-draw chain would be producing
something invisible. The pyramid itself is deliberately not gated:
generateLuminancebindsbloomMip[0]as the emissive term for auto-exposure,so skipping it would meter the scene against a stale buffer.
Documentation.
doc/ARCHITECTURE.mddescribed the post chain as it wasbefore this work — most importantly it listed bloom before depth of field, which
is now backwards. It is corrected, along with three pre-existing errors on the
same lines (
mGlow[3]was labelled the bloom pyramid when it is the legacynon-HDR glow chain; chromatic aberration was listed as a final-blit effect while
a line below correctly placed it in
colorCorrect; the ping-pong targetscarried an
mprefix they do not have).doc/LIGHTBOX.mdgains a recipe forthe asset-picker combo, which is a third kind of dropdown with several
silently-failing requirements and had none.
