- All material shaders now use the template system.
- Because of the template system, we can know what attributes a material has, along with how they're formatted.
- All of the *Attribute enums are effectively inlined, as the context they used to provide is no longer needed.
- Lots of refactoring in the shader loading code.
- Abstract all the different shader source transformations into ProcessingStage.
- An ordered list of ProcessingStages is called a ShaderTransformer.
- When you acquire sources, a Shader now keeps track of the source location, shader type, and source code all together.
- Nothing is properly hooked up yet.
- A single shader file will be able to be compiled with different opengl targets.
- I plan on using this to implement meshlet rendering as an alternate backend-backend that will be used when available.
- It could also be used to enable compatibility with opengl 3.0 or potentially even 2.0.
