• move entity rendering-enumeration into vk_scene
• refactor brush into brushes and separate rendering/buffer management

Next

• draw studio models as bounding boxes
• studio models

Planned

• move all consts to vk_const
• sprites
• what is GL_Backend*/GL_RenderFrame ???
• beams
• particles
• decals
• issue: transparent brushes are too transparent (train ride)
• render skybox
• mipmaps
• animated textures
• lightmap dynamic styles
• flashlight
• screenshot
• RTX

Someday

• (helps with RTX?) unified rendering (brush/studio models/...), each model is instance, instance data is read from storage buffers, gives info about vertex format, texture bindings, etc; which are read from another set of storage buffers, ..
• waf shader build step -- get from upstream
• embed shaders into binary
• verify resources lifetime: make sure we don't leak and delete all textures, brushes, models, etc between maps
• custom allocator for vulkan
• stats
• better 2d renderer: fill DRAWQUAD(texture, color, ...) command into storage buffer instead of 4 vertices

2021-02-06

• alpha test
• compare w/ gl R_SetRendeMode
  • raster state
  • color constants
• culling
• shaders s/map/brush/
• pipeline cache
• swapchain getting stale
• HUD sprites
• issue: lightmap sometimes gets corrupted on map load
