* Moves 3D Camera interpolation scene side.
* Automatically switches `get_camera_transform()` to report interpolated transform during `_process()`.
* Fixes `ClippedCamera` to work with physics interpolation.
Existing shadow caster culling using the BVH takes no account of the camera. This PR adds the highly encapsulated class VisualServerLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
This is used to:
* More accurately defer dirty updates to shadows when the shadow volume does not intersect the camera frustum.
* Tighter cull shadow casters to the view frustum.
Lights dirty state is now automatically managed:
* Continuous (tighter caster culling)
* Static (all casters are rendered)
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.
Calling queue_free() for large numbers of siblings could previously be very slow, with the time taken rising exponentially with number of children. This looked partly due to ordered_remove from the child list and notifications.
This PR identifies objects that are nodes, and sorts the deletion queue so that children are deleted in reverse child order. This minimizes the costs of reordering.
Leftover transforms from the physics tick were being flushed during idle, which was causing problems for physics interpolation.
This PR flushes the transforms at the end of the physics tick when physics interpolation is active.
Move VisualServer interpolation data out of Scenario and into VisualServerScene, so the interpolation data and enabled status is now common to all Scenarios.
Fix physics interpolation in multithreaded mode by ensuring tick and pre-draw are called.
The previous and current transforms in the interpolation data were not being correctly updated in cases where two or more physics ticks occurred on a frame. This PR introduces a simple mechanism to ensure updates on interpolated spatials.
Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the visual server.
Switchable on and off with project setting.
This version does not add new API for set_transform etc, when nodes have the interpolated flag set they will always use interpolation.
Most frames there will be no change in project settings, and it makes no sense to read settings every frame in case of changes, as a large number of string compares are involved.
This PR adds a signal to ProjectSettings that can be subscribed to in order to keep local settings up to date with ProjectSettings.
In addition a function `ProjectSettings::has_changes()` is provided for objects outside the signal system (e.g. Rasterizers).
Change the entire navigation system.
Remove editor prefix from nav mesh generator class. It is now used for baking
at runtime as well.
Navigation supports obstacle avoidance now with the RVO2 library.
Nav system will also automatically link all nav meshes together to form one
overall complete nav map.
This is only available on the GLES3 backend.
This can be useful for advanced shaders, but it should generally
not be enabled otherwise as full precision has a performance cost.
For general-purpose rendering, the built-in debanding filter should
be used to reduce banding instead.
This is an older, easier to implement variant of CAS as a pure
fragment shader. It doesn't support upscaling, but we won't make
use of it (at least for now).
The sharpening intensity can be adjusted on a per-Viewport basis.
For the root viewport, it can be adjusted in the Project Settings.
Since `textureLodOffset()` isn't available in GLES2, there is no
way to support contrast-adaptive sharpening in GLES2.
