- Implement shadow fading when using the Orthogonal shadow mode
(like in `master`).
This allows customizing the distance at which directional shadows
start to fade away. Shadow fading will also always start at the same
distance now, regardless of the current shadow mode in use.
This is useful for enclosed levels to prevent shadows from fading
at all with a well-tuned maximum distance.
The default fade start value (0.8) results in fading happening later
in the distance compared to the previous behavior, where fading started
from the last shadow split distance (0.6 in PSSM 4 Splits and
0.1 in PSSM 2 Splits).
Certain glGet operations require 64 bit versions according to the GLES spec.
The previous code was susceptible to overflow bugs, especially running under ANGLE.
Adds optional hierarchical culling to the 2D rendering (within VisualServer).
Each canvas item maintains a bound in local space of the item itself and all child / grandchild items. This allows branches to be culled at once when they don't intersect a viewport.
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.
This mostly reverts the approach in #62628, which now the problem is better scoped, looks overengineered and instead focuses on the few cases where there's something to take care of.
Adds special logic for handling skeleton bounding rect updates. Previously these were never being updated because the canvas item is never set to "rect_dirty".
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.
Blend shapes did not take into account octahedral compressed vertex
attribute layouts and this resulted in incorrect lighting on the
resulting blended mesh
Now make the blend_shapes shader octahedral compression aware!
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 GeometryInstance
(and therefore MeshInstance), 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.
Implemented in rasterizer of both GLES2 and GLES3.
Async. compilation via ubershader is currently available in the scene and particles shaders only.
Bonus:
- Use `#if defined()` syntax for not true conditionals, so they don't unnecessarily take a bit in the version flagset.
- Remove unused `ENABLE_CLIP_ALPHA` from scene shader.
- Remove unused `PARTICLES_COPY` from the particles shader.
- Remove unused uniform related code.
- Shader language/compiler: use ordered hash maps for deterministic code generation (needed for caching).
For octahedral compressed normals/tangents, we use vec4 in the shader
regardless of whether a normal/tangent does/doesn't exist
For the case where we only have a normal vector, we need to specify that
there are only two components being used when calling glVertexAttrib
Before we would always specify that there were 4 components, and used
offsets to determine where in the vertex buffer to read data from but
this doesn't work on all platforms
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`.
This provides more realistic lighting with a very small performance cost.
The option is available in both GLES3 and GLES2, and can be enabled in
the Project Settings. This goes well with the ACES Fitted tonemapping mode
that was recently added.
When enabled, this also makes upgrading Godot 3.x projects to Godot 4.0 easier,
since lighting in 3.x will better match how it'll look in Godot 4.0.
Update mesh_surface_get_format_stride and
mesh_surface_make_offsets_from_format to return an array of offsets and
an array of strides in order to support vertex stream splitting
Update _get_array_from_surface to also support vertex stream splitting
Add a condition on split stream usage to ensure it does not get used on
dynamic meshes
Handle case when Tangent is compressed but Normal is not compressed
Make stream splitting option require a restart in the settings
Update SoftBody and Sprite3D to support and use strides and offsets
returned by updated visual_server functions
Update Sprite3D to use the dynamic mesh flag
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.
With the octahedral compression, we had attributes of a size of 2 bytes
which potentially caused performance regressions on iOS/Mac
Now add padding to the normal/tangent buffer
For octahedral, normal will always be oct32 encoded
UNLESS tangent exists and is also compressed
then both will be oct16 encoded and packed into a vec4<GL_BYTE>
attribute
Implement Octahedral Compression for normal/tangent vectors
*Oct32 for uncompressed vectors
*Oct16 for compressed vectors
Reduces vertex size for each attribute by
*Uncompressed: 12 bytes, vec4<float32> -> vec2<unorm16>
*Compressed: 2 bytes, vec4<unorm8> -> vec2<unorm8>
Binormal sign is encoded in the y coordinate of the encoded tangent
Added conversion functions to go from octahedral mapping to cartesian
for normal and tangent vectors
sprite_3d and soft_body meshes write to their vertex buffer memory
directly and need to convert their normals and tangents to the new oct
format before writing
Created a new mesh flag to specify whether a mesh is using octahedral
compression or not
Updated documentation to discuss new flag/defaults
Created shader flags to specify whether octahedral or cartesian vectors
are being used
Updated importers to use octahedral representation as the default format
for importing meshes
Updated ShaderGLES2 to support 64 bit version codes as we hit the limit
of the 32-bit integer that was previously used as a bitset to store
enabled/disabled flags
