Server for anything visible. Server for anything visible. The visual server is the API backend for everything visible. The whole scene system mounts on it to display. The visual server is completely opaque, the internals are entirely implementation specific and cannot be accessed. The visual server can be used to bypass the scene system entirely. Resources are created using the [code]*_create[/code] functions. All objects are drawn to a viewport. You can use the [Viewport] attached to the [SceneTree] or you can create one yourself with [method viewport_create]. When using a custom scenario or canvas, the scenario or canvas needs to be attached to the viewport using [method viewport_set_scenario] or [method viewport_attach_canvas]. In 3D, all visual objects must be associated with a scenario. The scenario is a visual representation of the world. If accessing the visual server from a running game, the scenario can be accessed from the scene tree from any [Spatial] node with [method Spatial.get_world]. Otherwise, a scenario can be created with [method scenario_create]. Similarly, in 2D, a canvas is needed to draw all canvas items. In 3D, all visible objects are comprised of a resource and an instance. A resource can be a mesh, a particle system, a light, or any other 3D object. In order to be visible resources must be attached to an instance using [method instance_set_base]. The instance must also be attached to the scenario using [method instance_set_scenario] in order to be visible. In 2D, all visible objects are some form of canvas item. In order to be visible, a canvas item needs to be the child of a canvas attached to a viewport, or it needs to be the child of another canvas item that is eventually attached to the canvas. $DOCS_URL/tutorials/performance/using_servers.html Sets images to be rendered in the window margin.

If [code]true[/code], particles will emit over time. Setting to false does not reset the particles, but only stops their emission. Equivalent to [member Particles.emitting]. Sets the explosiveness ratio. Equivalent to [member Particles.explosiveness]. Sets the frame rate that the particle system rendering will be fixed to. Equivalent to [member Particles.fixed_fps]. If [code]true[/code], uses fractional delta which smooths the movement of the particles. Equivalent to [member Particles.fract_delta]. Sets the lifetime of each particle in the system. Equivalent to [member Particles.lifetime]. If [code]true[/code], particles will emit once and then stop. Equivalent to [member Particles.one_shot].

Equivalent to [member Particles.speed_scale]. If [code]true[/code], particles use local coordinates. If [code]false[/code] they use global coordinates. Equivalent to [member Particles.local_coords]. Creates a reflection probe and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all [code]reflection_probe_*[/code] VisualServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's [method free_rid] static method. To place in a scene, attach this reflection probe to an instance using [method instance_set_base] using the returned RID. If [code]true[/code], reflections will ignore sky contribution. Equivalent to [member ReflectionProbe.interior_enable]. Sets the render cull mask for this reflection probe. Only instances with a matching cull mask will be rendered by this probe. Equivalent to [member ReflectionProbe.cull_mask]. If [code]true[/code], uses box projection. This can make reflections look more correct in certain situations.

This RID will be used in all [code]scenario_*[/code] VisualServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's [method free_rid] static method. The scenario is the 3D world that all the visual instances exist in. Sets the [enum ScenarioDebugMode] for this scenario. See [enum ScenarioDebugMode] for options.

Internally, this is used by the editor to provide a default environment. Sets the size of the reflection atlas shared by all reflection probes in this scenario. Sets a boot image. The color defines the background color. If [code]scale[/code] is [code]true[/code], the image will be scaled to fit the screen size. If [code]use_filter[/code] is [code]true[/code], the image will be scaled with linear interpolation. If [code]use_filter[/code] is [code]false[/code], the image will be scaled with nearest-neighbor interpolation. If [code]true[/code], the engine will generate wireframes for use with the wireframe debug mode. Sets the default clear color which is used when a specific clear color has not been selected. If asynchronous shader compilation is enabled, this controls whether [constant SpatialMaterial.ASYNC_MODE_HIDDEN] is obeyed. For instance, you may want to enable this temporarily before taking a screenshot. This ensures everything is visible even if shaders with async mode [i]hidden[/i] are not ready yet. Reflection probes use this internally to ensure they capture everything regardless the shaders are ready or not. Sets the scale to apply to the passage of time for the shaders' [code]TIME[/code] builtin. The default value is [code]1.0[/code], which means [code]TIME[/code] will count the real time as it goes by, without narrowing or stretching it. Enables or disables occlusion culling. Creates an empty shader and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all [code]shader_*[/code] VisualServer functions.

Returns the number of bones allocated for this skeleton. Creates an empty sky and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all [code]sky_*[/code] VisualServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's [method free_rid] static method. Sets a sky's texture. Creates a spot light and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID can be used in most [code]light_*[/code] VisualServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's [method free_rid] static method. To place in a scene, attach this spot light to an instance using [method instance_set_base] using the returned RID. Not implemented in Godot 3.x. Allocates the GPU memory for the texture. Binds the texture to a texture slot. Creates an empty texture and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned.

See [enum TextureFlags] for options. Sets the texture's path. Creates an update link between two textures, similar to how [ViewportTexture]s operate. When the base texture is the texture of a [Viewport], every time the viewport renders a new frame, the proxy texture automatically receives an update. For example, this code links a generic [ImageTexture] to the texture output of the [Viewport] using the VisualServer API: [codeblock] func _ready(): var viewport_rid = get_viewport().get_viewport_rid() var viewport_texture_rid = VisualServer.viewport_get_texture(viewport_rid) var proxy_texture = ImageTexture.new() var viewport_texture_image_data = VisualServer.texture_get_data(viewport_texture_rid) proxy_texture.create_from_image(viewport_texture_image_data) var proxy_texture_rid = proxy_texture.get_rid() VisualServer.texture_set_proxy(proxy_texture_rid, viewport_texture_rid) $TextureRect.texture = proxy_texture [/codeblock] If [code]true[/code], sets internal processes to shrink all image data to half the size. Resizes the texture to the specified dimensions. If [code]true[/code], the image will be stored in the texture's images array if overwritten. Sets a viewport's camera. Sets a viewport's canvas. Copies viewport to a region of the screen specified by [code]rect[/code]. If [member Viewport.render_direct_to_screen] is [code]true[/code], then viewport does not use a framebuffer and the contents of the viewport are rendered directly to screen. However, note that the root viewport is drawn last, therefore it will draw over the screen. Accordingly, you must set the root viewport to an area that does not cover the area that you have attached this viewport to. For example, you can set the root viewport to not render at all with the following code: [codeblock] func _ready(): get_viewport().set_attach_to_screen_rect(Rect2()) $Viewport.set_attach_to_screen_rect(Rect2(0, 0, 600, 600)) [/codeblock] Using this can result in significant optimization, especially on lower-end devices. However, it comes at the cost of having to manage your viewports manually. For further optimization, see [method viewport_set_render_direct_to_screen]. Creates an empty viewport and adds it to the VisualServer. It can be accessed with the RID that is returned. This RID will be used in all [code]viewport_*[/code] VisualServer functions. Once finished with your RID, you will want to free the RID using the VisualServer's [method free_rid] static method. Detaches the viewport from the screen. Returns a viewport's render information. For options, see the [enum ViewportRenderInfo] constants. Returns the viewport's last rendered frame. Detaches a viewport from a canvas and vice versa. If [code]true[/code], sets the viewport active, else sets it inactive. Sets the stacking order for a viewport's canvas. [code]layer[/code] is the actual canvas layer, while [code]sublayer[/code] specifies the stacking order of the canvas among those in the same layer. Sets the transformation of a viewport's canvas. Sets the clear mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportClearMode] for options. Sets the debug draw mode of a viewport. See [enum ViewportDebugDraw] for options. If [code]true[/code], a viewport's 3D rendering is disabled. If [code]true[/code], rendering of a viewport's environment is disabled. Sets the viewport's global transformation matrix. If [code]true[/code], the viewport renders to high dynamic range (HDR) instead of standard dynamic range (SDR). See also [method viewport_set_use_32_bpc_depth]. [b]Note:[/b] Only available on the GLES3 backend. If [code]true[/code], the viewport's canvas is not rendered. Currently unimplemented in Godot 3.x. Sets the anti-aliasing mode. See [enum ViewportMSAA] for options. Sets the viewport's parent to another viewport. If [code]true[/code], render the contents of the viewport directly to screen. This allows a low-level optimization where you can skip drawing a viewport to the root viewport. While this optimization can result in a significant increase in speed (especially on older devices), it comes at a cost of usability. When this is enabled, you cannot read from the viewport or from the [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code]. You also lose the benefit of certain window settings, such as the various stretch modes. Another consequence to be aware of is that in 2D the rendering happens in window coordinates, so if you have a viewport that is double the size of the window, and you set this, then only the portion that fits within the window will be drawn, no automatic scaling is possible, even if your game scene is significantly larger than the window size. Sets a viewport's scenario. The scenario contains information about the [enum ScenarioDebugMode], environment information, reflection atlas etc. Sets the shadow atlas quadrant's subdivision. Sets the size of the shadow atlas's images (used for omni and spot lights). The value will be rounded up to the nearest power of 2. Sets the sharpening [code]intensity[/code] for the [code]viewport[/code]. If set to a value greater than [code]0.0[/code], contrast-adaptive sharpening will be applied to the 3D viewport. This has a low performance cost and can be used to recover some of the sharpness lost from using FXAA. Values around [code]0.5[/code] generally give the best results. See also [method viewport_set_use_fxaa]. Sets the viewport's width and height. If [code]true[/code], the viewport renders its background as transparent. Sets when the viewport should be updated. See [enum ViewportUpdateMode] constants for options. Sets the viewport's 2D/3D mode. See [enum ViewportUsage] constants for options. If [code]true[/code], allocates the viewport's framebuffer with full floating-point precision (32-bit) instead of half floating-point precision (16-bit). Only effective if [method viewport_set_use_32_bpc_depth] is used on the same [Viewport] to set HDR to [code]true[/code]. [b]Note:[/b] Only available on the GLES3 backend. If [code]true[/code], the viewport uses augmented or virtual reality technologies. See [ARVRInterface]. If [code]true[/code], uses a fast post-processing filter to make banding significantly less visible. In some cases, debanding may introduce a slightly noticeable dithering pattern. It's recommended to enable debanding only when actually needed since the dithering pattern will make lossless-compressed screenshots larger. [b]Note:[/b] Only available on the GLES3 backend. [member Viewport.hdr] must also be [code]true[/code] for debanding to be effective. Enables fast approximate antialiasing for this viewport. FXAA is a popular screen-space antialiasing method, which is fast but will make the image look blurry, especially at lower resolutions. It can still work relatively well at large resolutions such as 1440p and 4K. Some of the lost sharpness can be recovered by enabling contrast-adaptive sharpening (see [method viewport_set_sharpen_intensity]). If [code]true[/code], the viewport's rendering is flipped vertically. If [code]false[/code], disables rendering completely, but the engine logic is still being processed. You can call [method force_draw] to draw a frame even with rendering disabled. Emitted at the end of the frame, after the VisualServer has finished updating all the Viewports.

Generates mipmaps, which are smaller versions of the same texture to use when zoomed out, keeping the aspect ratio. Repeats the texture (instead of clamp to edge). Uses a magnifying filter, to enable smooth zooming in of the texture. Uses anisotropic mipmap filtering. Generates smaller versions of the same texture with different aspect ratios. This results in better-looking textures when viewed from oblique angles. Converts the texture to the sRGB color space. Repeats the texture with alternate sections mirrored.

Flag used to mark that the array uses an octahedral representation of normal and tangent vectors rather than cartesian. Used to set flags [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_NORMAL], [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_TANGENT], [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_COLOR], [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_TEX_UV], [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_TEX_UV2], [constant ARRAY_COMPRESS_WEIGHTS], and [constant ARRAY_FLAG_USE_OCTAHEDRAL_COMPRESSION] quickly.

Use medium blur quality. Used highest blur quality. Looks the best, but is the slowest. Add the effect of the glow on top of the scene. Blends the glow effect with the screen. Does not get as bright as additive. Produces a subtle color disturbance around objects. Shows the glow effect by itself without the underlying scene. Output color as they came in. This can cause bright lighting to look blown out, with noticeable clipping in the output colors. Use the Reinhard tonemapper. Performs a variation on rendered pixels' colors by this formula: [code]color = color / (1 + color)[/code]. This avoids clipping bright highlights, but the resulting image can look a bit dull. Use the filmic tonemapper. This avoids clipping bright highlights, with a resulting image that usually looks more vivid than [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD]. Use the legacy Godot version of the Academy Color Encoding System tonemapper. Unlike [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_ACES_FITTED], this version of ACES does not handle bright lighting in a physically accurate way. ACES typically has a more contrasted output compared to [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_REINHARD] and [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_FILMIC]. [b]Note:[/b] This tonemapping operator will be removed in Godot 4.0 in favor of the more accurate [constant ENV_TONE_MAPPER_ACES_FITTED]. Use the Academy Color Encoding System tonemapper. ACES is slightly more expensive than other options, but it handles bright lighting in a more realistic fashion by desaturating it as it becomes brighter.
