dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5	065c7e9300	Never make the client wait for drawing, or hold up its steps ... The renderer process now takes each view's chunks on a thread of its own as they come, and draws the newest frame on its main thread: the client no longer waits for the previous frame to be drawn (on a VM, 22 of a frame's 25 ms). The adapter records the client's steps (SceneViewer::step, by replacing its entry in the exported IFrameListener vtable, after checking it), and the frame pacer doesn't ask for a frame that wouldn't end before the next step is due: a late step made the client catch up two at once, which showed as hitches. While the renderer process covers the view, the client's renderer doesn't begin or present frames, which could wait for the display. The engine's stats now include the time in the client renderer's methods. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>	2026-10-28 21:30:46 -07:00
dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5	05a7be5d41	Ask the client for frames between its steps ... The frame pacer repaints the client's 3D windows at the user's frame rate (HKCU\Software\T5DE\Graphics\FrameRate: 30, the default, adds nothing; 60, 120, 240, 360; 0 uncapped), so the client draws frames between its 30-per-second steps. Only when affordable: a window is asked once its last frame is drawn, and only if its frames take under three quarters of the interval; uncapped, the client is left idle a third of a frame between frames. The engine's stats now log frames per second. The extra frames show the same scene for now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>	2026-10-28 20:38:31 -07:00
dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5	42fc55cb91	Draw the client's scene in the renderer process ... The adapter records everything the client draws (state, transforms, lights, fog, textures and buffers) as a command stream, sent in chunks through the shared memory channel, while IMVU's Direct3D renderer still draws the whole view. The renderer process draws it with Diligent, with shaders reproducing IMVU's Direct3D 9 fixed-function setup, over the right half of the 3D view to compare. It skips to the newest frame when it falls behind, and logs its errors and frame times. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>	2026-10-28 05:52:15 -07:00
dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5	9a7d7d2908	Add the renderer process ... The renderer becomes two programs: the adapter (t5deRenderEngine.dll, 32-bit, in IMVU's process) and a 64-bit renderer process (t5de-renderer.exe) drawing with Diligent Engine, fetched with FetchContent and pinned. For now a spike: the adapter starts the renderer process for each engine and signals each frame through a shared memory channel, and the renderer process draws a box into a child window in the client's 3D view.
