This makes it possible to create more aesthetically pleasing
styleboxes for GUI theming, especially in games that have
a futuristic appearance (where skewed buttons and progress bars
are common).
The value is already clamped in the editor, but it wasn't being
clamped when the value was set via code. Values outside the [0.0; 1.0]
range can result in broken rendering.
- Tweak colors to be less saturated and more balanced (in terms of hue).
The cool blue sky is balanced by a warm brown ground,
which makes reflections look closer to how they'd look like when using
an HDRI panorama texture.
- Make the ground color dark on both ProceduralSkyMaterial and
PhysicalSkyMaterial to reduce indoor light leaking, especially
when using GI.
- Tweak the PhysicalSkyMaterial colors to be as close as possible
to ProceduralSkyMaterial (with the default sun orientation).
- Tweak editor environment defaults to be identical to the default
ProceduralSkyMaterial colors. Previously, the default editor sky
color was different from the colors of a newly created
ProceduralSkyMaterial resource.
Both new skies were tested without GI, with SDFGI and with VoxelGI.
They were tuned to look best when using ACES tonemapping with a
whitepoint set to 6, but they still look good with other
tonemapping operators.
This makes radiance map updates much faster, which improves performance
when rotating the sun in the editor or at run-time.
This real-time filter is also much less prone to "fireflies" that can
appear when using a sky with a bright sun.
This reverts commit a988fad9a0.
As discussed in #57725 and clarified in #57788, `SNAME` is not meant to be used
everywhere but only in critical code paths. For theme methods specifically, it
was by design that only getters use `SNAME` and not setters.
Improvements:
* Occluder3D is now an abstract type inherited by: ArrayOccluder3D, QuadOccluder3D, BoxOccluder3D, SphereOccluder3D and PolygonOccluder3D. ArrayOccluder3D serves the same purpose as the old Occluder3D (triangle mesh occluder) while the rest are primitives that can be used to manually place simple occluders.
* Occluder baking can now apply simplification. The "bake_simplification_distance" property can be used to set a world-space distance as the desired maximum error, set to 0.1 by default.
* Occluders can now be generated on import. Using the "occ" and "occonly" keywords (similar to "col" and "colonly" for colliders) or by enabling on MeshInstance3Ds in the scene's import window.
Fixes:
* Fixed saving of occluder files after bake.
* Fixed a small error where occluders didn't correctly update in the rendering server.
Bonus content:
* Generalized "CollisionPolygon3DEditor" so it can also be used to edit Resources. Renamed it to "Polygon3DEditor" since it was already being used by other things, not just colliders.
* Fixed a small bug in "EditorPropertyArray" where a call to "remove" was left after the "remove_at" rename.
- Enable Read Sky Light to get proper outdoors lighting out of the box.
- Set bounce feedback to 0.5 by default to get a better quality result.
- Higher values may cause infinite feedback with bright surfaces.
- Increase the number of frames to converge to improve quality
at the cost of latency. Most scenes are fairly static after all.
- Use 75% Y scale by default as most scenes are not highly vertical.
- Reorder the Y scale enum to go from the lowest Y scale to the highest.
Also rename the "Disabled" setting to "100%" for clarity.
This improves rendering performance noticeably, especially when the
camera moves fast.
On a medium-sized test scene on a GTX 1080 in 2560×1440, going
from 6 to cascades saves 0.5 ms of frame time while looking visually
identical (as most of the scene fits within the 4 cascades).
