Extra functions canvas_render_items_begin and canvas_render_items_end are added to RasterizerCanvas, with noop stubs for non-GLES2 renderers. This enables batching to be spready over multiple z_indices, and multiple calls to canvas_render_items.
It does this by only performing item joining within canvas_render_items, and deferring rendering until canvas_render_items_end().
Determined that a large reason for the decrease in performance in unbatchable scenes was due to the new routine being analogous to the 'nvidia workaround' code, that is about half the speed. So this simply uses the old routine in the case of single unbatchable rects. Hopefully we will be able to remove the old path at a later stage.
Where the final_modulate color varies between render_items this can prevent batching. This PR solves this by baking final_modulate into the vertex colors, and setting the uniform 'final_modulate' to white, and allowing the joining of items that have different final_modulate values. The previous batching system can then cope with vertex color changes as normal.
2d rendering is currently bottlenecked by drawing primitives one at a time, limiting OpenGL efficiency. This PR batches primitives and renders in fewer drawcalls, resulting in significant performance improvements. This also speeds up text rendering.
This PR batches across canvas items as well as within items.
The code dynamically chooses between a vertex format with and without color, depending on the input data for a frame, in order to optimize throughput and maximize batch size. It also adds an option to use glScissor to reduce fillrate in light passes.
Some cases were not handled properly for Polygon2D after making changes in common code to fix Line2D antialiasing. Added an option for drawing polygons to differentiate the two use cases.
Fixes#34568
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.
Polygon2D:
The property wasn't used anymore after switching from canvas_item_add_polygon() to canvas_item_add_triangle_array() for drawing.
Line2D:
Added the same property as for Polygon2D & fixed smooth line drawing to use indices correctly.
Fixes#26823
As discussed in #32657, this can't be done here as lines can be used
with a canvas scale, and this breaks them.
A suggestion is to do the pixel shifting at matrix level instead.
Fixes#33393.
Fixes#33421.
OpenGL uses the diamond exit rule to rasterize lines. If we don't shift
the points down and to the right by 0.5, the line can sometimes miss a
pixel when it shouldn't. The final fragment of a line isn't drawn. By
drawing the lines clockwise, we can avoid a missing pixel in the rectangle.
See section 3.4.1 in the OpenGL 1.5 specification.
Fixes#32279
Condensed some if and ERR statements. Added dots to end of error messages
Couldn't figure out EXPLAINC. These files gave me trouble: core/error_macros.h, core/io/file_access_buffered_fa.h (where is it?),
core/os/memory.cpp,
drivers/png/png_driver_common.cpp,
drivers/xaudio2/audio_driver_xaudio2.cpp (where is it?)
This is a straight copy-paste of the code from
`drivers/gles3/rasterizer_canvas_gles3.cpp`. It is subject to the
same restrictions as the GLES3 implementation: it only works
on desktop platforms as they use OpenGL instead of OpenGL ES.
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
It has a big impact on 2D and text rendering performance (cf. #24466)
so the solution seems worse than the bug it aims to work around.
It's now opt-in via "rendering/quality/2d/gles2_use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround"
for those who need it and have a simple enough game for the performance
drop not to be an issue.
Fixes#24466.
Fixes rectangle being drawn as it was a non-negative size in case it actually is. This can be observed e.g. when drawing a negative size selection rectangle (i.e. press mouse button and move cursor up and left).

Some of those are bugs and need further work, they are identified with
`// FIXME` comments.
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 reverts commit f55039b194.
The GLES2 batching seems to require more testing and tweaking in order
to actually make the performance better on Android devices. It's been
proved with #21184 that the current implementation has it's drawbacks
therefore I suggest reverting the commit for now.
Adds GLES2 draw calls batching for the same render list item that uses
multiple rasterizer commands (e.g. Label node; a node with multiple
GDScript draw_* calls).
This commit unhacks some parts of the 3D rendering.
Most notably:
- possibility to use negative texture units
(no longer weird manual index allocation for user samplers)
- refactoring of light code, now sorts in a different way,
should yield better performance
- fixes a crash while saving (because of "Illegal instruction" execution)
when using a decent compiler (clang, it's clang. Thanks GCC for not telling me about UB).
This commit adds a new rendering backend, GLES2, and adds a
project setting to enable it.
Currently this backend can only be used on the X11 platform,
but integrating into other platforms is planned.
