Improve ParaView UI coherence to follow recent PBR / OSPRay changes
Right now the GUI for the view and display properties is very misleading and allows to change options that has no effect. Here's what I think would be worth changing :
- In
View
properties :-
Ray Traced Rendering::Background Mode
should be removed as we already have theBackground::Use Environment Lighting
option - Remove the
Path Traced Envrionment::
section as we already have theBackground::
section
-
- In
Display
properties :- When using a material in
Ray Tracing::Material
, every properties in sectionLighting::
butNormal/Tangent/TexCoord Array
should be hidden - When not using a path tracer
Ray Tracing::Material
should be hidden -
Lighting::Interpolation
values should be renamed as PBR is not actually a lighting model as is. I propose :-
PBR
->Principled
(this also represent the fact that when using OSPRay a princpipled material is automatically created to represent it) -
Gouraud
->Solid
(as in Solid Mode in Blender). Maybe it shoudl be renamedOBJ
when ray tracing is enabled ?
-
- When using a material in
Maybe there's specific use case I'm not aware of that my proposition break.
WDYT @demarle ?
