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.
Split instance and physical device selection function and move device selection to window creation, to reject devices without present capability.
Add device preferred type check in discrete > integrated > virtual > cpu > other order.
Add device list printout.
Add command line argument to override device selection.
* Multisampling was wrongly selected, possibly fixes#49937
* Image semaphore acquisition is now per window, possibly fixes#41614
Please make sure to test the above two issues again, since I can't reproduce either anyway.
-Added more finegrained control in RenderingDevice API
-Optimized barriers (use less ones for thee same)
-General optimizations
-Shadows render all together unbarriered
-GI can render together with shadows.
-SDFGI can render together with depth-preoass.
-General fixes
-Added GPU detection
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 🎆
They're now disabled by default, and can be enabled with the command line
argument `--vk-layers`.
When enabled, the errors about them being missing are now warnings, as
users were confused and thought this meant Vulkan is broken for them.
Fix crash in `~VulkanContext` when validation layers are disabled (exposed by
this PR since before they could not be disabled without source modification).
Also moved VulkanContext member initializations to header.
Fixes#37102.
Which means that reduz' beloved style which we all became used to
will now be changed automatically to remove the first empty line.
This makes us lean closer to 1TBS (the one true brace style) instead
of hybridating it with some Allman-inspired spacing.
There's still the case of braces around single-statement blocks that
needs to be addressed (but clang-format can't help with that, but
clang-tidy may if we agree about it).
Part of #33027.
-Added VulkanContext
-Added an X11 implementation
-Added a rendering device abstraction
-added a Vulkan rendering device abstraction
-Engine does not work, only shows Godot logo (run it from bin/)
