* Nodes can be marked unique to the scene in the editor (or via code).
* Unique nodes can be accessed via the **%** prefix at any point in the path. From that point in the path (depending on whether the scene of the path is), the unique node will be fetched.
* Implementation is very optimal, as these nodes are cached.
Add "generate_mipmap" font import option.
Add some missing features to the Sprite3D.
Move BiDi override code from Control to TextServer.
Add functions to access TextServer font cache textures.
Add MSDF related flags and shader to the standard material.
Change standard material cache to use HashMap instead of Vector.
* Instead of containing single animations, AnimationPlayer now contains libraries.
* Libraries, in turn, contain the animations.
This paves the way for implementing the possibility of importing scenes as animation libraries, finally allowing to import animations separate from the 3D models.
Missing (will be done on separate PRs):
* Make it possible to import scenes (dae/fbx/gltf) as animation libraries.
* Make it possible for AnimationTree to import animation libraries on its own, so it does not rely on AnimationPlayer for everything.
- improved mesh data calculation from standalone static colliders so that no
VisualServer calls are performed - and thus no VS mutexes need to
be locked in case of on-thread baking
- improved the same for GridMap's static colliders
* Resource that allows saving textures embedded in scenes or standalone.
* Supports only formats that are portable: Lossy, Lossles or BasisUniversal
This is something I wanted to add for a long time. I made it now because @fire
requires it for importing GLTF2 files with embedded textures, but also this
will allow saving Godot scenes as standalone binary files that will run
in all platforms (because textures will load everywhere).
This is ideal when you want to distribute individual standalone assets online
in games that can be built from Godot scenes.
SConstruct change also makes it possible to outright delete the `editor`
folder in a `tools=no` build, which we use in CI to ensure no invalid
cross-dependencies are added.
