Planning to make VulkanSceneGraph-1.1.11 developer release tomorrow, please test

[robertosfield]

Hi All,

I have tried to tackle all the outstanding issues and PR's I can but it's been so long since the last developer release that we really need a wrap up all the work since 1.1.10 in February.

Once 1.1.11 is out I'll continue working on outstanding issues an PR's.

I not aiming for a stable release quality release, but I'd like to make sure the release is compiling on all major platform and doesn't cause regressions.

Thanks for you help,
Robert.

I've tested under Kubuntu 24.04 with NVidia 2060 and Windows 11 with NVidia 1650.

Hi,

happy to see an upcoming release!

I am testing on a laptop running Debian 13, focussed on regression testing. Most of the examples are running fine (of course not tested all the different variations of cmd line options...). A few are not running ok.

Not 100% sure but I think this GPU is used:
GPU id : 0 (Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2))

Thanks for the testing. I've just tried

vsgtextureprojection  textures/VSGlogo.png

And see the error:

Warning: Program failed to link.
Warning: glslang info log: ERROR: Linking vertex and fragment stages: Layout location qualifier must match:
    vertex stage: viewDir "layout( location=6) smooth out"
    fragment stage: viewDir "layout( location=5) smooth in"
ERROR: Linking vertex and fragment stages: Input 'texCoord0' in fragment shader has no corresponding output in vertex shader.

This one should be straight forward shader fix.

[robertosfield]

I've tracked down the problem to the introduction of the vsg::TexCoordIndices and associated multi-tex coord array support. I have merged the changes in from the phong shaders and ShaderSet and checked these into vsgExamples master with commit:

vsg-dev/vsgExamples@5df493e

[reedev]

nice, I updated and now running fine

Hi! There is some problem in vsgImGui, which was in previos version. It would be great, if this was resolved before release.

[robertosfield]

I don't think vsgImGui will need a specific update for the VSG-1.1.11 so it's updates and release schedule can happen independently.

For tomorrow my focus will be the main repos - VSG, vsgXchange and vsgExamples, for the other projects I'll update them when I have time.

Please disable debug output in JSONParser (#1553), these calls to logger take too much time when we loading many gltf models.
Tested under Win10 with NVidia 4080super. Our railway simulator works fine with vsg 1.1.11

[robertosfield]

I have removed the debug output completely with commit: c4fb402

Hi!
Some tests of master pre release version of vsg and vsgXchange.
Native loader of glTF not loads skeletal animations of pantographs, but assimp loader does it successfull. Tested on win10 witn NVidia GTX 1080

Model of this locomotive
VL60k-1737.zip

[maisvendoo]

Oh, I'll see more carefully properties of animation in Blender. Thanks for your answers, later I write about my results

Upd: I find this option in Blender's exporter

I'll try convert model without it...

[maisvendoo]

I disabled skinning checkbox in settings of export - yes, it works!

Thanks again for your help!

[robertosfield]

I made a tweak to now set Joints for skinned nodes based on whether a skin::skeleton is set and this fixed the VL60pk-1543.gltf model but unfortunately it broke the glTF-Sample-Assets SimpleSkin/glTF/SimpleSkin.gltf model as it does assign a skeleton.

This is the change I tried was:

     for(size_t si=0; si<model->skins.values.size(); ++si)
     {
         auto& gltf_skin = model->skins.values[si];
-        for(auto joint : gltf_skin->joints.values)
+        if (gltf_skin->skeleton)
+        {
+            for(auto joint : gltf_skin->joints.values)
+            {
+                vsg_joints[joint.value] = true;
+            }
+        }
+        else
         {
-            vsg_joints[joint.value] = true;
+            vsg::warn("filename = ", model->filename, ", skin = ", gltf_skin, " defined without skeleton.");
         }
     }

I will need to keep hunting for another way to catch this issue.

I looked again in ssetings of model. Need assign selected bonies with bony's collection in Blender. Than export with Skiinning setting give right result


I uploaded new version of model, exported with these settings
VL60k-1737.zip

[maisvendoo]

but unfortunately it broke the glTF-Sample-Assets SimpleSkin/glTF/SimpleSkin.gltf model as it does assign a skeleton.

I think, very sad that Khoronos Group, published thouse models, but not decribe how it converted (which 3D-editor, detailed settings, etc.). This information would be useful for us

[robertosfield]

Often models will embed details of the tools used with the glTF file. Simple models might also be created by hand.

Tested master branch on Ubuntu 24.04 with Nvidia 3070Ti. All looks good to me.

[robertosfield]

That's a relief as I tagged the release on Friday. Thanks for the testing.

Thanks for your hard work，Will be updated to the latest in the near future
