This can be used to fade lights and their shadows in the distance,
similar to Decal nodes. This can bring significant performance
improvements, especially for lights with shadows enabled and when
using higher-than-default shadow quality settings.
While lights can be smoothly faded out over distance, shadows are
currently "all or nothing" since per-light shadow color is no longer
customizable in the Vulkan renderer. This may result in noticeable
pop-in when leaving the shadow cutoff distance, but depending on the
scene, it may not always be that noticeable.
This allows for the extension of AudioStream where you can call
`instance_plackback` on child AudioStream instances within gdscript,
much like the implementation of some child classes in C++.
See `AudioStreamRandomPitch` for an example of how this can be used.
* Adds optional vec4 USERDATA1 .. USERDATA6 to particles, allowing to store custom data.
* This data is allocated on demand, so shaders that do not use it do not cost more.
This provides a significant speedup for a small quality loss.
The quality loss is generally more noticeable during a project's
early stages of development (e.g. in level blockouts)
than it is in a finished project.
Forcing draw during debug break is now handled by ServersDebugger, and
only happens when the proper message is sent from the EditorDebugger
("servers:draw").
In a similar way, briging the window in foreground is now also handled
by ServersDebugger upon receiving "servers:foreground" which is sent by
the EditorDebugger when resuming from a break ("continue").
- 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).
16-bit shadow atlases are already the default in the project settings,
but low-level methods used 24-bit shadows by default.
This makes low-level methods more consistent with the default project
settings to avoid accidental performance issues when users change
the shadow size at run-time.
`smoothstep()` avoids the sudden transparency jump when entering or
leaving an object's alpha fade margin distance. This in turn helps
make opacity transitions less noticeable to the player, as it's
less likely to catch the player's eye.
* Erase shadow owner *before* setting it to RID().
* Add default texture in shadow atlas debug view to avoid error spam when no atlas is present.
* Fix typo.
A common source of errors is to call functions (such as round()) expecting them to work in place, but them actually being designed only to return the processed value. Not using the return value in this case in indicative of a bug, and can be flagged as a warning by using the [[nodiscard]] attribute.
[macOS] Fix transient windows not working in the full-screen mode.
[macOS] Fix moving transient windows to the other screen than parent window.
[macOS] Fix popup menu switch on hover.
[macOS] Use content origin rect for windows position (to ensure `DS.mouse_get_position` is equal to `DS.window_get_position` + mouse position from the input events).
[macOS] Fix incorrect input coordinates, when external display with different scaling in connected/disconnected.
[macOS/Windows] Fix moving fullscreen windows between the screens.
Add auto refocusing of the parent window, when the focused transient window is closed.
Remove redundant `DS.mouse_get_absolute_position` function (returns mouse position in the screen coordinates, same as `DS.mouse_get_position`).
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).
On the only platform where PVRTC is supported (iOS),
ETC2 generally supersedes PVRTC in every possible way. The increased
memory usage is not really a problem thanks to modern iOS' devices
processing power being higher than its Android counterparts.

Fix "Fill" alignment processing wrong side of the text if overrun trim was applied.
Improve "Fill" alignment to avoid adding excessive subsequent spaces or elongations.
Add font detection to the overrun, to correctly add ellipsis (was using last glyph font, which doesn't necessary have dot character).
Improve line breaking to avoid adding excessive subsequent soft break points for languages without word separator.
Port missing overrun/justification code to the Fallback text server.
Fix inferred text direction detection by controls.
Add tests for "Fill" alignment and line breaking glyph flags.
Applying overlay materials into multi-surface meshes currently
requires adding a next pass material to all the surfaces, which
might be cumbersome when the material is to be applied to a range
of different geometries. This also makes it not trivial to use
AnimationPlayer to control the material in case of visual effects.
The material_override property is not an option as it works
replacing the active material for the surfaces, not adding a new pass.
This commit adds the material_overlay property to GeometryInstance3D
(and therefore MeshInstance3D), having the same reach as
material_override (that is, all surfaces) but adding a new material
pass on top of the active materials, instead of replacing them.
Each file in Godot has had multiple contributors who co-authored it over the
years, and the information of who was the original person to create that file
is not very relevant, especially when used so inconsistently.
`git blame` is a much better way to know who initially authored or later
modified a given chunk of code, and most IDEs now have good integration to
show this information.
Some assets are loaded based on OS/server feature detection, namely
textures (but potentially others).
The ResourceImporter will fail to load a texture if the OS reports not
supporting it. The OS, in turn, checks texture format support via the
RenderingServer.
This commit makes the dummy rasterizer report known texture formats as
supported (although unused), so that scenes can be correctly loaded when
they include references to imported textures.
Always build with the GUI subsystem.
Redirect stdout and stderr output to the parent process console.
Use CreateProcessW for blocking `execute` calls with piped stdout and stderr (prevent console windows for popping up when used with the GUI subsystem build, and have more consistent behavior with `create_process`).
Add `open_console` argument to the `execute` and `create_process` to open a new console window.
Remove `interface/editor/hide_console_window` editor setting.
Remove `Toggle System Console` menu option.
Remove `set_console_visible` and `is_console_visible` functions.
For 2D:
Raycast CCD now works the same as in 3D, it changes the body's velocity
to place it at the impact position instead of generating a contact point
that causes a wrong push back.
For both 2D and 3D:
The raycast CCD process reads and modifies body velocities, so it needs
to be moved to pre_solve() instead of setup() to be processed linearly
on the main thread, otherwise multithreading can cause some CCD results
to be randomly lost when multiple collisions occur.
Makes the API for forces and impulses more flexible, easier to
understand and harmonized between 2D and 3D.
Rigid bodies now have 3 sets of methods for forces and impulses:
-apply_impulse() for impulses (one-shot and time independent)
-apply_force() for forces (time dependent) applied for the current step
-add_constant_force() for forces that keeps being applied each step
Also updated the documentation to clarify the different methods and
parameters in rigid body nodes, body direct state and physics servers.
This can be used to distinguish between integrated, dedicated, virtual
and software-emulated GPUs. This in turn can be used to automatically
adjust graphics settings, or warn users about features that may run
slowly on their hardware.
Margin needs to have a high enough value for test body motion to work
properly (separate using the margin, move without then gather rest info
with the margin again).
Fixes issues with test motion returning no collision in some cases with
margin equal to 0.
This reduces visible banding in indirect lighting and reflections.
Sharp reflections now match more closely the original scene.
The downside of this change is that clipping may appear in reflections
in extremely bright scenes, but this should not be a concern in most
scenes.
Helps with discovery and setup of physics solver settings, in a specific
project settings section for both 2D and 3D.
Other changes for cleanup:
-Removed unused space parameters in 3D
SPACE_PARAM_BODY_ANGULAR_VELOCITY_DAMP_RATIO
SPACE_PARAM_CONSTRAINT_DEFAULT_BIAS
-Added custom solver bias for Shape3D (same as Shape2D)
-Improved documentation for solver settings
The message about SpatialMaterial conversion was turned into a warning,
as it can potentially interfere with porting projects from Godot 3.x
(if there's a bug in the conversion code).
Clarified space parameters for contacts and added missing ones.
List of changes:
-Add contact bias to space parameters
-Add solver iterations to space parameters, instead of a specific
physics server function
-Renamed BODY_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION to CONTACT_MAX_ALLOWED_PENETRATION
to make it consistent with other contact parameters
Changed the algorithm for solving contacts to keep previous contacts as
long as they are under the max separation threshold to keep contact
impulses more consistent and contacts more stable.
Also made 2D consistent with 3D and changed some default parameters:
-Contact bias is now 0.8 instead of 0.3 to avoid springy contacts
-Solver iterations are 16 instead of 8 by default for better stability
Performance considerations:
Tested with stress tests that include lots of contacts from overlapping
bodies.
3D: There's no measurable difference in performance.
2D: Performance is a bit lower (close to 10% slower in extreme cases)
The benefit for 2D physics to be much more stable outweighs the slight
decrease in performance, and this could be alleviated by changing the
algorithm to use jacobians for contact solving to help with cache
efficiency and memory allocations.
We prefer to prevent using chained assignment (`T a = b = c = T();`) as this
can lead to confusing code and subtle bugs.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assignment_operator_(C%2B%2B), C++
allows any arbitrary return type, so this is standard compliant.
This could be re-assessed if/when we have an actual need for a behavior more
akin to that of the C++ STL, for now this PR simply changes a handful of
cases which were inconsistent with the rest of the codebase (`void` return
type was already the most common case prior to this commit).
In scenes that have little to no overdraw, disabling the depth prepass
can give a small performance boost. Nonetheless, in most other scenarios,
the depth prepass should be left enabled as it improves performance
significantly.
Bounce calculation now uses the previous frame's velocity, so it's
consistent with the actual motion of the bodies involved and not the
yet-to-be-applied forces.
When bounce is 1, using the current velocity was causing the new forces
(including gravity) to be taken into account, which lead to the bounce
velocity to be higher than the falling velocity at the moment of impact,
adding more and more energy over time.
Regression fix, gravity was accumulated between frames after some
changes around area gravity calculation.
Also got rid of unused member and method in soft body class.
Replaced the previous implementation for backface collision handling (in
test_axis function from SAT algorithm) with much simpler logic in the
collision generation phase with face shapes, in order to get rid of
wrong contacts when backface collision is disabled.
Now it just ignores the generated collision if the contact normal is
against the face normal, with a threshold to keep edge contacts.
Added a special case for soft bodies to invert the collision instead of
ignoring it, because for now it's the best solution to avoid soft bodies
to go through concave shapes (they use small spheres). This might be
replaced with a better algorithm for soft bodies later.
Updating the broadphase to find new collision pairs was done after
checking for collision islands, so it was working in most cases due to
the pairing margin used in the BVH, but in case of teleported objects
the narrowphase collision could be skipped.
Now it's done before checking for collision islands, so we can ensure
that broadphase pairing has been done at the same time as objects are
marked as moved so their collision can be checked properly.
This issue didn't happen in the Octree/HashGrid because they do nothing
on update and trigger pairs directly when objects move instead.
In all physics servers, body_get_direct_state() now silently returns
nullptr when the body has been already freed or is removed from space,
so the client code can detect this state and invalidate the body rid.
In 2D, there is no change in behavior (just no more errors).
In 3D, the Bullet server returned a valid direct body state when the
body was removed from the physics space, but in this case it didn't
make sense to use the information from the body state.
Center of mass in body's local space is more useful than the transformed
one in some cases, like drawing its position for debug.
It's especially useful to get the generated local center of mass when
in auto mode (by default).
Physics Server BODY_PARAM_CENTER_OF_MASS:
Now always returns the local center of mass, instead of setting a local
center of mass and getting a transformed one.
This causes compatibility breaking, but it makes more sense for the
parameter to be consistent between getter and setter.
Direct Body State:
There are now two properties, because both of them can be useful in
different situations.
center_of_mass: relative position in global coordinates (same as before)
center_of_mass_local: position in local coordinates
On a GeForce GTX 1080 in 2002×1447 resolution, decreasing VoxelGI quality
from High to Low quality saves 1.2 ms of GPU time in a medium-sized
test scene. This only results in a minor drop in quality.
Same as what is already done for shape queries, applied to point and ray
queries. Easier to document and more flexible to add more parameters.
Also expose intersect_point method to script in 3D.
Remove intersect_point_on_canvas in 2D, replaced with a parameter.
- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
First implementation with Linux display manager.
- Add single-threaded mode for EditorResourcePreview (needed for OpenGL).

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`.
Damping values are now non-negative.
Add new properties linear_damp_mode and angular_damp_mode to set the way
RigidDynamicBody and PhysicalBone (2D & 3D) use damping values.
It can now be Combine (default) to add to the default/areas, or Replace
to override the value completely (current behavior).
* Made the Basis euler orders indexed via enum.
* Node3D has a new rotation_order property to choose Euler rotation order.
* Node3D has also a rotation_mode property to choose between Euler, Quaternion and Basis
Exposing these modes as well as the order makes Godot a lot friendlier for animators, which can choose the best way to interpolate rotations.
The new *Basis* mode makes the (exposed) transform property obsolete, so it was removed (can still be accessed by code of course).
Fixes the SHADOW_CASTING_SETTING_OFF setting in
GeometryInstance3D and the "shadows_disabled" render
mode in spatial materials, which were not working
before.
The built-in ALPHA in spatial shaders comes pre-set with a per-instance
transparency value. Multiply by it if you want to keep it.
The transparency value of any given GeometryInstance3D is affected by:
- Its new "transparency" property.
- Its own visiblity range when the new "visibility_range_fade_mode"
property is set to "Self".
- Its parent visibility range when the parent's fade mode is
set to "Dependencies".
The "Self" mode will fade-out the instance when reaching the visibility
range limits, while the "Dependencies" mode will fade-in its
dependencies.
Per-instance transparency is only implemented in the forward clustered
renderer, support for mobile should be added in the future.

Soft shadows are relatively expensive to filter. However, with the
default blur factors, it's not needed to use too many samples
(unless PCSS-like shadows are used with a large size). Textures
and screen-space antialiasing can also be used to mask the noise
pattern effectively.
On a GeForce GTX 1080, going from Medium to Low for both shadow types
saves 0.2-0.4 ms of GPU time per frame in 2560×1440 resolution.
This can translate to significantly higher savings on lower-end GPUs.
Given how the shader works, this improves rendering performance
even if lights with shadows are never used.
Should be changing the local center of mass, which is then transformed
into `center_of_mass`.
It was causing the center of mass to be always in (0,0) by default with
multiple shapes.
Changing the collision layer of a sleeping body was not triggering area
updates correctly.
Bodies need to be active for collision to be checked against already
overlapping bodies and areas.
Neighbors need to be activated too in order to handle the case where a
static body is modified (it can't be activated directly but paired
bodies need to check their collision again).
In 3D, moved the call to wakeup() from the physics server to
GodotBody3D::_shapes_changed to make it consistent with 2D and also
handle the case where shapes are modified (_shapes_changed is called in
both this case and collision layer changes).
This can be used to improve 3D shadow rendering quality at little
performance cost. Unlike the existing Hard setting which is limited
to variable shadow blur only, it works with both fixed blur and
variable blur.
Proper logic for changing physics state when disabled and disabled mode
is changed (it was unnecessarily making calls to re-initialize physics).
Extra error handling in soft body implementations to avoid crashes with
invalid mesh.
Same logic as what was done in 3D, applied to 2D center of mass.
Also did some minor cleanup in 3D and fixed center of mass transform
during the first frame after teleporting a dynamic body.
This allows for finer control over 3D rendering resolution.
Supersampling can also be performed by setting a 3D rendering
resolution above 1.0, which is useful for offline rendering or
for very high-end GPUs.
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.
Added a parameter in test_body_motion to exclude attached objects from
collision, used to avoid collision with all TileMap tiles with moving
platform motion instead of just the one tile the character touches.
Same changes made in 3D for consistency, and handling potential similar
cases.
-Physics servers test body motion use a class to hold parameters instead
of multiple arguments to make it more readable and flexible since there
are many options
-Improved documentation for test body motion and kinematic collision
-Removed read-only properties for body motion results (not handled in
scripts, so they should be get_ methods only instead)
Convert GLTF Document to use ImporterMeshInstance3D.
Add a GLTFDocument extension list and an extension for converting the importer mesh instance 3d to mesh instance 3d.
Use GLTF module when the editor tools are disabled.
Modified the render server to be less restrictive on matching blend arrays and have more logging.
Misc bugs with multimesh.
Always index the meshes.
Shape metadata was only used to get tile information when colliding with
tilemaps. It's not needed anymore since there's an API in tilemap using
body ids instead.
Allows 2D character controller to work without applying gravity when
touching the ground (also more safely in 3D), and collision detection
is more flexible with different safe margin values.
Character body motion changes in 2D and 3D:
-Recovery only for depth > min contact depth to help with collision
detection consistency (rest info could be lost if recovery was too much)
-Adaptive min contact depth (based on margin) instead of space parameter
Extra CharacterBody changes:
-2D: apply changes made in 3D for stop on slope and floor snap that help
fixing some jittering cases
-3D: fix minor inconsistencies in stop on slope and floor snap logic
* Fixed LODs for shadow meshes.
* Added a merging step before simplification. This helps with tesselated
meshes that were previously left untouched. The angle difference at
wich edges ar considered "hard" can be tweaked as an import setting.
* LODs will now start with the highest decimation possible and keep
doubling (approximately) the number of triangles from there. This
makes sure that very low triangle counts are included when possible.
* Given more weight to normal preservation.
* Modified MeshOptimizer to report distance-based error instead of
including attributes in the reported metrics.
* Added attribute transference between the original mesh and the
various LODs. Right now only normals are taken into account,
but it could be expanded to other attributes in the future.
RigidDynamicBody modes are replaced with several properties to make their
usage clearer:
-lock_rotation: disable body's rotation (instead of MODE_LOCKED)
-freeze: no gravity or forces (instead of MODE_STATIC and MODE_KINEMATIC)
-freeze_mode: Static (can be only teleported) or Kinematic (can be animated)
Also renamed MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED to MODE_DYNAMIC_LINEAR in the physics
servers.
Browsers doesn't really like forcing the mix rate, e.g. Firefox does not
allow input (microphone) if the mix rate is not the default one, Chrom*
will exhibit worse performances, etc.
Add glTF2 uri decode for paths.
Add vertex custom apis.
Add scene importer api.

Move multiplayer classes to "core/multiplayer" subdir.
Move the RPCConfig and enums (TransferMode, RPCMode) to a separate
file (multiplayer.h), and bind them to the global namespace.
Move the RPC handling code to its own class (RPCManager).
Renames "get_rpc_sender_id" to "get_remote_sender_id".
Changes:
-Added support for custom inertia and center of mass in 3D
-Added support for custom center of mass in 2D
-Calculated center of mass from shapes in 2D (same as in 3D)
-Fixed mass properties calculation with disabled shapes in 2D/3D
-Removed first_integration which is not used in 2D and doesn't seem to
make a lot of sense (prevents omit_force_integration to work during the
first frame)
-Support for custom inertia on different axes for RigidBody3D
Instead of having a physics node named Static that can be either Static
or Kinematic, AnimatableBody is added again as a separate node:
-Inherited from StaticBody to make its usage clearer
-Still separated from CharacterBody to make its usage more focused
Properly implemented constant velocity for kinematic bodies in godot
physics servers (induced velocity without actually moving).
Also updated description for the different physics nodes to make their
usage clearer.
The default mask for queries was 0, 0x7FFFFFFF or 0xFFFFFFFF depending
on the cases.
Now always using 0xFFFFFFFF (in the form of UINT32_MAX to make it clear)
in order to use all layers by default.
Use a C++ callback instead of Callable for synchronizing physics nodes' state with physics servers.
Remove usage of PhysicsDirectBodyState in physics nodes when not
necessary.
Store PhysicsDirectBodyState for bodies individually instead of a
singleton to avoid issues when accessing direct body state for multiple
bodies.
PhysicsDirectBodyState is initialized only when needed, so it doesn't
have to be created when using the physics server directly.
Move PhysicsDirectBodyState2D and PhysicsDirectBodyState3D to separate
cpp files.
In the `master` branch, 16× MSAA caused the entire system to freeze
on NVIDIA GPUs. This is likely caused by graphics drivers not actually
implementing 16× MSAA, but combining 8× MSAA with 2× SSAA instead.
On top of that, modern shader complexity makes 16× MSAA very difficult
to use while keeping a good framerate. 8× MSAA is hard enough to use
as it is.
Make separation ray shapes work properly in move_and_slide, wihtout the
specific code in CharacterBody like before.
Now most of the logic is handled inside the physics server. The only
thing that's needed is to use ray shapes only for recovery and ignore
them when performing the motion itself (unless we're snapping or slips
on slope is on).
One-way collision is disabled for both rigid bodies and character
bodies.
Kinematic margin is now applied to ray shapes to help getting consistent
results in slopes and flat surfaces.
Convex shapes don't return inverted normals when a segment test starts
inside (raycasting will be made consistent in a separate patch).
Ray shapes also discard contacts when fully contained inside a shape
and when the contact direction is inverted, so the behavior is
consistent with all shape types. Now they always separate only when
intersecting the top of a shape (for downward rays).
Removing the + 1 in point gravity formula when using distance scale to
make it more accurate for standard gravitation.
Fixes precession in orbits for games using gravitation.
Also moved gravity calculation to area to use it for both rigid bodies
and soft bodies in 3D (same change in 2D for consistency).

* Allows calling into native extensions directly with a pointer
* Makes it easier to implement some APIs more efficiently
* Appears with a "*" in the documentation for the argument.
* Implementing the pointer handling is entirely up to the implementation, although the extension API provides some hint.
* AudioStream has been implemented as an example, allowing to create NativeExtension based AudioStreams.
OmniLight3D:
* Fixed lack of precision in cube map mode by scaling the projection's
znear.
* Fixed aliasing issues by making the paraboloids use two square regions instead of two half
squares.
* Fixed shadowmap atlas bleeding by adding padding.
* Fixed sihadow blur's inconsistent radius and unclamped sampling.
SpotLight3D:
* Fixed lack of precision by scaling the projection's znear.
* Fixed normal biasing.
Both:
* Tweaked biasing to make sure it works out of the box in most situations.
When a shader error is printed about a built-in shader, the origin
of the shader will now be recognizable immediately by looking at
the top of the printed shader code.
* Make sure shaders are named, to aid in debug in case of failure
* SceneRenderRD was being wrongly initialized (virtual functions being called when derivative class not initialized).
* Fixed some bugs resulting on the above being corrected.
The "Use Parent Material" option now does something when enabled on a CanvasItem. As before, it's not just limited to a node's direct parent but can move up the tree until it finds a material.
Also corrected a typo in rendering_device_vulkan.h that didn't merit its own commit.
Changes:
- Rename few methods/property and group them in the editor when it's possible
- Make MotionResult API consistency with KinematicCollision
- Return a boolean in move_and_slide if there was a collision
- New methods:
- get_floor_angle on CharacterBody to get the floor angle.
- get_angle on KinematicCollision to get the collision angle.
- get_last_slide_collision to quickly get the latest collision of move_and_slide.
* Specialization constants used to disable anything not needed to draw
* Added softshadow and projector support on mobile.
This new approach ensures mobile shaders are smaller and more efficient, but relies on more pipeline versions compiled on demand.
As a result, random stalls can ocur like in Godot 3.x. These will be solved by using background compilation and fallbacks eventually (but needs to be tested first).
- Back to 1-based layer names to make it clearer in editor UI
- Layer bit accessors are renamed to layer value and 1-based too
- Uniform errors and documentation in render and physics
- Fix a few remaining collision_layer used in place of collision_mask
The project setting wasn't being used anywhere.
This also tweaks the property hints to denote that these properties
are only effective after a restart.
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
Infinite inertia:
Not needed anymore, since it's now possible to set one-directional
collision layers in order for characters to ignore rigid bodies, while
rigid bodies still collide with characters.
Ray shapes:
They were introduced as a work around to allow constant speed on slopes,
which is now possible with the new property in CharacterBody instead.
Same thing that was already done in 2D, applies moving platform motion
by using a call to move_and_collide that excludes the platform itself,
instead of making it part of the body motion.
Helps with handling walls and slopes correctly when the character walks
on the moving platform.
Also made some minor adjustments to the 2D version and documentation.

When synchronizing CharacterBody motion with moving the platform using
direct body state, only the linear velocity was taken into account.
This change exposes velocity at local point in direct body state and
uses it in move_and_slide to get the proper velocity that includes
rotations.
The Transform::xform and xform_inv are made safe for Planes when using non-uniform scaling.
Optimization of calling sites to prevent loss of performance from the changes to xform(Plane).
Since OpenGL will not be available in Godot 4.0, this exposes a
choice between Vulkan clustered and Vulkan mobile in the project manager.
Despite the name, Vulkan mobile has many benefits on desktop platforms.
It provides better performance on simple scenes, and ensures that you
won't accidentally use unsupported features while testing your project
on desktop platforms.
The Vulkan backend setting was made into a "basic" setting so that
it can be changed without having to enable the Advanced Settings toggle.
This also improves list formatting to use bullet points and tweaks
the property hint to be more descriptive.
* Simplified code a lot, bias based on normalized cascade size.
* Lets scale cascades, max distance, etc. without creating acne.
* Fixed normal biasing in directional shadows.
I removed normal biasing in both omni and spot shadows, since the technique can't be easily implemented there.
Will need to be replaced by something else.
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob.
* On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse.
* On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL.
This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved.
I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware.
There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.
