- Use 3 bounces by default.
- Enable environment lighting from the scene by default.
- This is not done in `3.x` for compatibility with existing projects,
but it makes sense to do this by default since pretty much all
outdoor scenes benefit from this.
- Set the custom environment color to white (like ReflectionProbe).
- Its default energy is still 0, so it's invisible by default.
- Enable the generation of dynamic object probes by default.
- Tweak the `max_texture_size` property hint for better usability.
- Improve error messages when passing invalid sizes to
`LightmapGI.set_max_texture_size()`.
If the `speed_scale` is set to a negative value, the animation plays in reverse.
The second parameter of `play()` still reverses as before. if `speed_scale` and the second parameter of `play()` is true, the animation plays forward.
Also updates the documentation to better describe the pausing and playing behaviour.
Add the following properties to AnimatedSprite3D:
- `backwards` parameter in `play()`;
- `speed_scale`.
Both classes' internals are more similar, down to the line spacings. They've also been updated to be clearer and less inconsistent (e.g. `!frames.is_valid()` -> `frames.is_null()`, use SceneStringNames instead of CoreStringNames, rename the internal _queue_update to _queue_redraw)
"less" should be used for quantity, rather than "lesser".
Existing scripts that use `or_lesser` in `_get_property_list()`
will need to be updated to account for this change.
fixed a type and made it so area3d get_overlapping_x is similar to its counterpart func in area2d so that it uses TypedArray instead of Array and ERR_FAIL_COND_V_MSG instead of no message, also minimized array resize calls
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.
Per-light energy gives more control to the user on the final result of
volumetric fog. Specific lights can be fully excluded from volumetric fog
by setting their volumetric fog energy to 0, which improves performance
slightly. This can also be used to prevent short-lived dynamic effects
from poorly interacting with volumetric fog, as it's updated over several
frames by default unless temporal reprojection is disabled.
Volumetric fog shadows now obey Light3D's Shadow Opacity property as well.
The shadow fog fade property was removed as it had little visible impact
on the final scene's rendering.
The inspector now supports converting degrees to radians automatically when
using the `radians` hint, so all those utility bindings were redundant.
This cleans things up by making these properties with slash properly bound
to `set_param`/`get_param` which the users can call with the relevant enum.
This is a legacy of Godot 2 days before the inspector had support for groups.
"Properties" with a slash in their name can't be accessed from script unless
using `set()`/`get()` so they were not actual properties as far as script
languages are concerned.
Part of #17558.
Create and expose the method `get_collider_rid` in `RayCast2D` and `Raycast3D`.
This method returns the `RID` of the first object that the ray intersects, or an empty `RID` if no object is intersecting the fay (i.e. `is_colliding` returns `false`).
Fixes (re)parent issues with NavigationObstacle 2D and 3D (same as NavigationAgents).
Also adds the option from NavigationAgents to override the default navigation map.
- Increase font size and decrease pixel size.
- The font is rendered at the same physical size, but is more detailed,
which is visible when the camera is up close.
- Add an outline to improve readability on mixed-color backgrounds.
- The outline is fairly thick to ensure it doesn't get too grainy
at a distance (without requiring MSDF or mipmaps on the default
project font).
This can be used to make shadows translucent for a specific light.
The light distance fade system also uses this to smoothly fade the shadow
when the light fade transition distance is greater than 0.
`shader_uniform` is now consistenly used across both per-shader
and per-instance shader uniform methods. This makes methods easier
to find in the class reference when looking for them.
Particles won't move or rotate anymore with the node (or its parents)
by default. This new default behavior is generally more suited
to most use cases. Local coordinates can still be enabled on a per-node basis.
This affects both 2D and 3D particles, and both CPU and GPU-based particles.
This makes the default behavior consistent between SpriteBase3D,
BaseMaterial3D and imported glTF scene materials.
Alpha scissor threshold property hints now allows for more precise
adjustments as well.
Overall brightness is similar to the previous settings, but lighting
now fades off more naturally and reflections feature indirect lighting.
Performance is identical.
- Enable Use Two Bounces by default.
- Decrease Propagation to 0.5 to compensate for the second bounce.
- Adds more customization options to ProjectSettings.
- Displays navregion edge connections and navigation polygon edges in editor and at runtime.
- Majority of debug code moved from SceneTree to NavigationServer.
- Removes the irritating debug MeshInstance child node from NavigationRegion3D and replaces it with direct RenderingServer API.
The new default values are more usable in real world scenarios
when smooth fading of distant decals is desired for performance reasons.
The Decal distance fade property hints were adjusted based on the
GeometryInstance3D visibility range fade property hints. `or_greater`
was also added to allow specifying larger values if needed.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
Based on #62896, only implements the BPM support part.
* Implements BPM support in the AudioStreamOGG/MP3 importers.
* Can select BPM/Bar Size and total beats in a song file, as well as edit looping points.
* Looping is now BPM aware
* Added a special importer UI for configuring this.
* Added a special preview showing the audio waveform as well as the playback position in the resource picker.
* Renamed `AudioStream::instance` to `instantiate` for correctness.
This allows not accounting for certain visible meshes during baking
(such as foliage and thin fixtures).
This also adds a clarification about transparent materials always
being excluded in the OccluderInstance3D documentation.
