Completely re-write the lightmap generation code:
- Follow the general lightmapper code structure from 4.0.
- Use proper path tracing to compute the global illumination.
- Use atlassing to merge all lightmaps into a single texture (done by @RandomShaper)
- Use OpenImageDenoiser to improve the generated lightmaps.
- Take into account alpha transparency in material textures.
- Allow baking environment lighting.
- Add bicubic lightmap filtering.
There is some minor compatibility breakage in some properties and methods
in BakedLightmap, but lightmaps generated in previous engine versions
should work fine out of the box.
The scene importer has been changed to generate `.unwrap_cache` files
next to the imported scene files. These files *SHOULD* be added to any
version control system as they guarantee there won't be differences when
re-importing the scene from other OSes or engine versions.
This work started as a Google Summer of Code project; Was later funded by IMVU for a good amount of progress;
Was then finished and polished by me on my free time.

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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
This fixes numerous false positives coming out of the culling system.
AABB checks are now a full separating-axis check against the frustum, with the points of the frustum being compared to the planes of the box just as the points of the box were being compared to the planes of the frustum. This fixes large objects behind the camera not being culled correctly.
Some systems that used frustums that were (sometimes mistakenly?) unbounded on one or more side have been modified to be fully enclosed.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Underscaled arc tolerance produced very small values so that changes
to this parameter were negligible when scaled internally, hence significant
performance drop (lots of intermediate points inserted in an arc). Now the
performance is mostly the same compared to other types of offsetting
(SQUARE, MITER).
Clipper 6.4.2 is used internally to perform polypaths clipping, as well
as inflating/deflating polypaths. The following methods were added:
```
Geometry.merge_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # union
Geometry.clip_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # difference
Geometry.intersect_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # intersection
Geometry.exclude_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # xor
Geometry.clip_polyline_with_polygon_2d(poly_a, poly_b)
Geometry.intersect_polyline_with_polygon_2d(poly_a, poly_b)
Geometry.offset_polygon_2d(polygon, delta) # inflate/deflate
Geometry.offset_polyline_2d(polyline, delta) # returns polygons
// This one helps to implement CSG-like behaviour:
Geometry.transform_points_2d(points, transform)
```
All the methods return an array of polygons/polylines. The resulting
polygons could possibly be holes which could be checked with
`Geometry.is_polygon_clockwise()` which was exposed to scripting as well.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-Fixes to Collada Exporter (avoid crash situtions)
-Fixed to Collada Importer (Fixed Animation Optimizer Bugs)
-Fixes to RigidBody/RigidBody2D body_enter/body_exit, was buggy
-Fixed ability for RigidBody/RigidBody2D to get contacts reported and bodyin/out in Kinematic mode.
-Added proper trigger support for 3D Physics shapes
-Changed proper value for Z-Offset in OmniLight
-Fixed spot attenuation bug in SpotLight
-Fixed some 3D and 2D spatial soudn bugs related to distance attenuation.
-Fixed bugs in EventPlayer (channels were muted by default)
-Fix in ButtonGroup (get nodes in group are now returned in order)
-Fixed Linear->SRGB Conversion, previous algo sucked, new algo works OK
-Changed SRGB->Linear conversion to use hardware if supported, improves texture quality a lot
-Fixed options for Y-Fov and X-Fov in camera, should be more intuitive.
-Fixed bugs related to viewports and transparency
Huge Amount of New Stuff:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-
-Ability to manually advance an AnimationPlayer that is inactive (with advance() function)
-More work in WinRT platform
-Added XY normalmap support, imports on this format by default. Reduces normlmap size and enables much nice compression using LATC
-Added Anisotropic filter support to textures, can be specified on import
-Added support for Non-Square, Isometric and Hexagonal tilemaps in TileMap.
-Added Isometric Dungeon demo.
-Added simple hexagonal map demo.
-Added Truck-Town demo. Shows how most types of joints and vehicles are used. Please somebody make a nicer town, this one is too hardcore.
-Added an Object-Picking API to both RigidBody and Area! (and relevant demo)
