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 🎆
The calls to the BVH need to use the world space AABB, rather than local space for it to work. Also, update was not being called which is required to update the AABB as objects move.
Blendshapes without a skeleton already worked.
However, due to a faulty ERR_FAIL_COND, it was impossible to create a mesh with both bones and blendshapes.
This also fixes an assumption that all surfaces reference the same number of bones as surface 0.
-Much greater pairing/unpairing performance
-For now, using it for culling too, but this will change in a couple of days.
-Added a paged allocator, to efficiently alloc/free some types of objects.
Use double instead of int for the p_lod_distance_multiplier default value in
RendererSceneRenderForward::_render_shadow to match parent default value in
RendererSceneRenderRD::_render_shadow
This makes it possible to view far away objects without
having to tweak any settings. This results in a more usable
editor when working on large-scale levels.
This change should have no impact on performance, but note that
Z-fighting will be visible at a distance. This can be made less
visible by increasing the Znear value (however, doing so will cause
nearby surfaces to disappear).
This change was also applied to the editor, but it will only
apply to newly created scenes.
This also changes the default camera settings in the glTF importer
to match the Camera node's defaults.
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
