Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Backported from #70885.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
Using codespell 2.2-dev from current git.
Added `misc/scripts/codespell.sh` to make it easier to run it once in a
while and update the skip and ignore lists.
(cherry picked from commit 1bdb82c64e)
Fleshed out the "Optimize Mesh" options found in the mesh import UI
Gave a checkbox to every vertex attribute that can be compressed
Surfaced option to enable/disable Octahedral compression for
normal/tangent vectors
Also surfaces the vertex position compression option which previously
inaccessible because the defaults did not compress vertex positions
Supports all current importers (obj, fbx, collada, gltf)
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Implement Octahedral Compression for normal/tangent vectors
*Oct32 for uncompressed vectors
*Oct16 for compressed vectors
Reduces vertex size for each attribute by
*Uncompressed: 12 bytes, vec4<float32> -> vec2<unorm16>
*Compressed: 2 bytes, vec4<unorm8> -> vec2<unorm8>
Binormal sign is encoded in the y coordinate of the encoded tangent
Added conversion functions to go from octahedral mapping to cartesian
for normal and tangent vectors
sprite_3d and soft_body meshes write to their vertex buffer memory
directly and need to convert their normals and tangents to the new oct
format before writing
Created a new mesh flag to specify whether a mesh is using octahedral
compression or not
Updated documentation to discuss new flag/defaults
Created shader flags to specify whether octahedral or cartesian vectors
are being used
Updated importers to use octahedral representation as the default format
for importing meshes
Updated ShaderGLES2 to support 64 bit version codes as we hit the limit
of the 32-bit integer that was previously used as a bitset to store
enabled/disabled flags
- `Texture::~Texture` expects `props` to be dynamically allocated.
- `GetPropertyTable` returned a pointer to an existing `PropertyTable`
but is expected to return a newly, dynamically allocated one.
- `PropertyTable::PropertyTable()` suggests that an empty `element`
property is valid.
fix#46876fix#45573
(cherry picked from commit 09bda3f140)
Fixes several instances of error: 'const' type qualifier on return type has no effect [-Werror,-Wignored-qualifiers]
This looks like it was fixed in 6607fc7da9
when FBX was merged into the 4.0 master branch:
"- fixed const correctness with C++/C version change"
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
limitations:
- always has to use generated normal's.
- some animations won't be compatible (yet)
Co-authored-by: Rémi Verschelde <rverschelde@gmail.com>
Better materials:
- default values will no longer trigger things like emission,
clear coat being enabled etc incorrectly, mostly importers misunderstand
this value, a value of 1 is not actually enabled emission, it must have a
non zero setting other than emission value for the emission flags to
actually be enabled correctly in our engine #42386
- lambert materials are warned against significantly,
do not use Lambert in Godot, use a PBR material like Ai Standard Surface
(it's like going from low quality to high definition in terms of output
in scenes and on assets)
- roughness values are calculated correctly in this version
Fixes for normal's array - some normal's from some files were dropped and
generated, this is now fixed.
- FBX indexing for items with (-1) index, for normal data is supported,
this is super helpful at increasing our range of compatibility of
FBX meshes.
Fix bone rest data **no longer requiring go to bind pose in Maya and various applications**
- Partial fix for #43688
Validation tools added for validating large projects
Provide package name, vendor and FBX vendor in the log.
Implemented metadata properties so we can read extra document
info required for bug reporting
**FBX 2011 (version 7200)** is unsupported now,
you must re-export your file in Maya or Max to upgrade the file format.
Fixes skin bind poses being generated based on node xforms in the scene
Fixes duplicate bones being added to skin and prevents add_bones from
registering skeleton bones it now registers skin bind poses,
but this should really be documented in the engine correctly right now
it doesn't tell you this is the case.
- Fixed bug with FBX so we can import material values from the document for PBR when using StingRay (not Arnold *yet*)
- Adds more explicit errors and makes things simpler to read. Has more sanity checks to be sure things are working correctly
- Lazy Properties fixed items not loading due to capital letter errors in FBX parser
- Added debug tools to the materials so you know explicitly what material mapping is assigned to a texture and where it came from. (enable verbose printing to use this)
- Fix broken material mappings and debug entries properly
- Fix make embedded images properly detected
- Spam less errors for unsupported shading models with materials.
Future plans:
- Arnold materials need converted to PBR model, if possible.
