- Fix objects with no material being considered as fully transparent by the lightmapper.
- Added "environment_min_light" property: gives artistic control over the shadow color.
- Fixed "Custom Color" environment mode, it was ignored before.
- Added "interior" property to BakedLightmapData: controls whether dynamic capture objects receive environment light or not.
- Automatically update dynamic capture objects when the capture data changes (also works for "energy" which used to require object movement to trigger the update).
- Added "use_in_baked_light" property to GridMap: controls whether the GridMap will be included in BakedLightmap bakes.
- Set "flush zero" and "denormal zero" mode for SSE2 instructions in the Embree raycaster. According to Embree docs it should give a performance improvement.
More work is needed to make sure that those options actually solve users' issues, so we prefer to remove the options for 3.2.4 and revisit for a future release.
Automatically set the `baked_light` bool when applying a lightmap to an
instance. This ensures the disabling of dynamic lights when the
bake mode is set to ALL.
Two common problems have emerged as a result of transform snapping:
1) Camera jitter with a camera following a snapped object
2) Pixel gaps between e.g. a platform and a player, where a platform rounds down and a player rounds up
Using round seems to greatly reduce problems due to camera jitter. It also may prove better for pixel gaps because pixel art is often designed on a grid, so whole numbers are too expected, which are unstable with floor().
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed

- Based on C++11's `thread` and `thread_local`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
- Based on C++11's `mutex` and `condition_variable`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Based on C++11's `mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- `BinaryMutex` added for special cases as the non-recursive version
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
When making items visible from the visual server, the collision check is deferred to prevent two identical collision checks when set_pairable is called shortly after.
It turns out that for some items (especially meshes), set_pairable is never called. This PR detects this occurrence and forces a collision check at the end of the routine.
A major feature lacking in the octree was proper support for setting visibility / activation. This meant that invisible objects were still causing lots of processing in the tree unnecessarily.
This PR adds proper support for activation, items are temporarily removed from the tree and collision detection when inactive.
Leaves in the bug fixes, but reverts the change to the update method.
Turns out the new update method of getting the scenarios was causing problems, I will need to consult with reduz on the best way of getting access to the scenarios for a single update per frame.
Doing multiple updates isn't terrible but it should be nicer to get a single update working, as it should be more efficient, and give a single point for pairing callbacks.
Change render BVH update scheme from once per update_dirty_instances to a new update_scenarios function called once per draw.
Fix lights not being properly unpaired.
Fixed bug in add_changed_item where AABBs were not being updated due to more than one update per tick.
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)
Complete rewrite of spatial partitioning using a bounding volume hierarchy rather than octree.
Switchable in project settings between using octree or BVH for rendering and physics.
Partially revert change allowing sprite get_rect snapping to be controlled by `pixel_snap` again rather than `transform_snap` (to prevent breaking compatibility). Adds a final `use_camera_snap` project setting to allow snapping viewports as in reduz original PR.
It can be enabled in the Project Settings
(`rendering/quality/filters/use_debanding`). It's disabled
by default as it has a small performance impact and can make
PNG screenshots much larger (due to how dithering works).
As a result, it should be enabled only when banding is noticeable enough.
Since debanding requires a HDR viewport to work, it's only supported
in the GLES3 backend.
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
Don't apply lighting to objects when they have a lightmap texture and
the light is set to BAKE_ALL. This prevents applying the same direct
light twice on the same object and makes setting up scenes with mixed
lighting much easier.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.

Keeps track of the order in which items are collected by
_collect_ysort_children, and uses that order to break
ties between items with similar Y positions.
(cherry picked from commit 8d3afa985b)
Prevents adding new octants until a limiting number of elements have been added to the current octant. This enables balancing the benefits of brute force against the benefits of spatial partitioning. The limit can be set per octree.
Project settings are added for rendering octree to set the best balance per project depending on number of tests per frame / tick, and the amount of editing of the octree.
Fixes octants being leaked when removing elements.
Optimize octree with cached linear lists
Storing elements in octants using linked lists is efficient for housekeeping but very slow for testing. This optimization stores additional local_vectors with Element pointers and AABBs which are cached and only updated when a dirty flag is set on the octant.
This is selectable with 2 versions of Octree : Octree and Octree_CL, Octree being the old behaviour. At present the cached list version is only used for the visual server octree (rendering) as it has only been demonstrated to be faster there so far.
This uses slightly more memory (probably a few kb in most cases) but can be significantly faster during testing (culling etc).

Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
