We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
Values lower than 1.0 can be used to make the fog rendering not fully
obstruct the sky. This can be desired when using fog as a purely
atmospheric effect, without intending to use fog for open world fog
fading.
When set to 0.0, fog rendering behavior will be similar to Godot 3.x
where sky rendering was never affected by fog.
This allows light sources to be specified in physical light units in addition to the regular energy multiplier. In order to avoid loss of precision at high values, brightness values are premultiplied by an exposure normalization value.
In support of Physical Light Units this PR also renames CameraEffects to CameraAttributes.
- Increase the default non-volumetric fog density to 0.01 to make
adjustments more visible.
- Use a less saturated non-volumetric fog color by default
(a mix of the sky and horizon colors of the new default
ProceduralSkyMaterial).
- Set Volumetric Fog Gi Inject to 1.0 by default. Injecting GI results
in more realistic appearance of volumetric fog, at a very low
performance cost.
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.
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.
- 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).
This provides more flexibility between performance and quality
adjustments, especially when using SDFGI for small-scale levels
(which can be useful for procedurally generated scenes).
This property was intended to provide a way to have SSAO or VoxelGI
ambient occlusion with a color other than black. However, it was
dropped during the Vulkan renderer development due to the performance
overhead it caused when the feature wasn't used.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
* GIProbe is now VoxelGI
* BakedLightmap is now LightmapGI
As godot adds more ways to provide GI (as an example, SDFGI in 4.0), the different techniques (which have different pros/cons) need to be properly named to avoid confusion.
