Roughly based on https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3375 (used format is slightly different).
* Implement bitwidth based animation compression (see animation.h for format).
* Can compress imported animations up to 10 times.
* Compression format opens the door to streaming.
* Works transparently (happens all inside animation.h)
* New track type BLEND_SHAPE
* Blend shapes are imported via this new track type
* Processing is more optimized (no longer relies on variants)
* Modified the Blend Shape API in MeshInstance3D to use indices rather than StringNames (more optimizes)
* Promo: Fixed a small bug in gizmo updating in Node3D that affected performance
Dedicated BlendShape tracks are required for both optimization and eventually implementing them in animation compression.
* `Animation.TYPE_TRANSFORM3D` track is gone.
* Added POSITION_3D, ROTATION_3D, SCALE_3D tracks.
* GLTF2, Collada, FBX importers will only import the track types found.
* Skeleton3D bone poses are now Pos/Rot/Scale, pose matrix removed.
* AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree animate these tracks separately, only when found.
* Removed BakeReset code, is useless with these changes.
This is the first in a series of commits designed to make the animation system in Godot more useful, which includes:
* Better compatibility with Autodesk products
* Better reusability of animations across models (including retargeting).
* Proper animation compression.
* etc.
*Note* GLTF2 animation saving went broken with this PR, needs to be fixed in a subsequent one.
* `_gui_input`, `_input`, `_unhandled_input` and `_unhandled_key_input` are now regular C++ virutal functions.
* Everything else converted to GDVIRTUAL
* BIND_VMETHOD is gone, always use the new syntax from now on.
Creating `_gui_input` method and using the binder to register events will no longer work, simply override the virtual function now.
- Allow snapping bezier handles to the timeline.
- Allow precise snapping when holding Shift for keyframes and handles.
- Previously, it was only allowed for seeking the timeline.
- This change also impacts the animation track editor,
not just the bezier editor.
- Invert the Ctrl + mouse wheel behavior to match the zoom direction
in the animation track editor.
- Increase the line spacing between the "Time:" and "Value:" texts
to improve readability.
- Tweak box selection styling to match the animation track editor.
- Adjust line widths for hiDPI displays.
Having a property which has the same name as its class leads to confusing
situations (e.g. `BaseButton` has a `shortcut` property of type `Shortcut`
which has a `shortcut` property of type `InputEvent`).
Also renames `is_event` to `matches_event`, and `is_valid` to `has_valid_event`
to better reflect what the methods check.
* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched
Previously, it would only find the first result and would not select other results
Renames "_entered" functions to "_submitted"
- Implement timeline scrobbling using Alt + Mouse wheel anywhere in the
animation track editor.
- Snap settings are followed, and precise snapping can be obtained by also
holding down Shift.
- This modifier wasn't used by anything in the animation editor.
- Allow zooming by using Ctrl + Mouse wheel on the timeline itself.
- Previously, this was only possible on the track area, not the timeline.
-For inspector refresh, the inspector now detects if a property change by polling a few times per second and then does update the control if so. This process is very cheap.
-For property list refresh, a new signal (property_list_changed) was added to Object. _change_notify() is replaced by notify_property_list_changed()
-Changed all objects using the old method to the signal, or just deleted the calls to _change_notify(<property>) since they are unnecesary now.
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 🎆
