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	6e4fe589e5	Draw render targets in the renderer process ... While the renderer process runs, the adapter makes the client's render targets itself and the renderer process draws frames into them: texture targets are drawn with like any texture, and a pixmap target's frame is read back through the channel into its Pixmap (protocol version 4: BeginFrame names its target, CreateRenderTarget, Channel::readSize and the -read event). Frames into render targets are drawn even while the window is hidden. The client uses pixmap targets for snapshots (outfit pictures, photos), checked to look right. The render target interfaces are declared from IMVU's vtables. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>	2026-10-28 19:09:48 -07:00
dhkatzandClaude Opus 5.5	299cd8c312	Fix particle sizes, and add tools for comparing renderers ... Particles: Direct3D 9's size limit evidently isn't the documented 64 pixels; unclamped (up to 2048) they match the client's renderer. A compare view shows the left half's scene over the right half, both renderers side by side; %TEMP%\t5de-renderer-view.txt switches views and %TEMP%\t5de-renderer-shaders\fixed_function.hlsl replaces the shaders while the client runs. The renderer process runs from a copy, so the program can be replaced meanwhile. The adapter recognizes only the textures and buffers it made (others reach the client renderer unchanged) and logs the others and render targets.

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
