* Moved preprocessor to Shader and ShaderInclude
* Clean up RenderingServer side
* Preprocessor is separate from parser now, but it emits tokens with include location hints.
* Improved ShaderEditor validation code
* Added include file code completion
* Added notification for all files affected by a broken include.
`rendering/quality/shadows` is now `rendering/quality/positional_shadow`
to explicitly denote that the settings only affect positional light shadows,
not directional light shadows.
Shadow atlas settings now contain the word "atlas" for easier searching.
Soft shadow quality settings were renamed to contain the word "filter".
This makes the settings appear when searching for "filter" in the
project settings dialog, like in Godot 3.x.
Initial TAA support based on the implementation in Spartan Engine.
Motion vectors are correctly generated for camera and mesh movement, but there is no support for other things like particles or skeleton deformations.
This method can be used to get the graphics API version currently in
use (such as Vulkan). It can be used by projects for troubleshooting
or statistical purposes.
3 options are available:
- Light and Sky (default)
- Light Only (new)
- Sky Only (equivalent to `use_in_sky_only = true`)

This can be used to fade lights and their shadows in the distance,
similar to Decal nodes. This can bring significant performance
improvements, especially for lights with shadows enabled and when
using higher-than-default shadow quality settings.
While lights can be smoothly faded out over distance, shadows are
currently "all or nothing" since per-light shadow color is no longer
customizable in the Vulkan renderer. This may result in noticeable
pop-in when leaving the shadow cutoff distance, but depending on the
scene, it may not always be that noticeable.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
- Enable Read Sky Light to get proper outdoors lighting out of the box.
- Set bounce feedback to 0.5 by default to get a better quality result.
- Higher values may cause infinite feedback with bright surfaces.
- Increase the number of frames to converge to improve quality
at the cost of latency. Most scenes are fairly static after all.
- Use 75% Y scale by default as most scenes are not highly vertical.
- Reorder the Y scale enum to go from the lowest Y scale to the highest.
Also rename the "Disabled" setting to "100%" for clarity.
This provides more flexibility between performance and quality
adjustments, especially when using SDFGI for small-scale levels
(which can be useful for procedurally generated scenes).
On the only platform where PVRTC is supported (iOS),
ETC2 generally supersedes PVRTC in every possible way. The increased
memory usage is not really a problem thanks to modern iOS' devices
processing power being higher than its Android counterparts.
Applying overlay materials into multi-surface meshes currently
requires adding a next pass material to all the surfaces, which
might be cumbersome when the material is to be applied to a range
of different geometries. This also makes it not trivial to use
AnimationPlayer to control the material in case of visual effects.
The material_override property is not an option as it works
replacing the active material for the surfaces, not adding a new pass.
This commit adds the material_overlay property to GeometryInstance3D
(and therefore MeshInstance3D), having the same reach as
material_override (that is, all surfaces) but adding a new material
pass on top of the active materials, instead of replacing them.
This can be used to distinguish between integrated, dedicated, virtual
and software-emulated GPUs. This in turn can be used to automatically
adjust graphics settings, or warn users about features that may run
slowly on their hardware.
The built-in ALPHA in spatial shaders comes pre-set with a per-instance
transparency value. Multiply by it if you want to keep it.
The transparency value of any given GeometryInstance3D is affected by:
- Its new "transparency" property.
- Its own visiblity range when the new "visibility_range_fade_mode"
property is set to "Self".
- Its parent visibility range when the parent's fade mode is
set to "Dependencies".
The "Self" mode will fade-out the instance when reaching the visibility
range limits, while the "Dependencies" mode will fade-in its
dependencies.
Per-instance transparency is only implemented in the forward clustered
renderer, support for mobile should be added in the future.

This can be used to improve 3D shadow rendering quality at little
performance cost. Unlike the existing Hard setting which is limited
to variable shadow blur only, it works with both fixed blur and
variable blur.
This allows for finer control over 3D rendering resolution.
Supersampling can also be performed by setting a 3D rendering
resolution above 1.0, which is useful for offline rendering or
for very high-end GPUs.
This property was intended to provide a way to have SSAO or VoxelGI
ambient occlusion with a color other than black. However, it was
dropped during the Vulkan renderer development due to the performance
overhead it caused when the feature wasn't used.
In the `master` branch, 16× MSAA caused the entire system to freeze
on NVIDIA GPUs. This is likely caused by graphics drivers not actually
implementing 16× MSAA, but combining 8× MSAA with 2× SSAA instead.
On top of that, modern shader complexity makes 16× MSAA very difficult
to use while keeping a good framerate. 8× MSAA is hard enough to use
as it is.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
* Shadow quality settings now specialization constant.
* Decal and light projector filters can be set.
* Changing those settings forces re-creation of the pipelines.
These changes should help improve performance related to shadow mapping, and allows improving performance by sacrificing decal and light projector quality.
* Fixed and redone the process to obtain render information from a viewport
* Some stats, such as material changes are too difficult to guess on Vulkan, were removed.
* Separated visible and shadow stats, which causes confusion.
* Texture, buffer and general video memory can be queried now.
* Fixed the performance metrics too.
The Optimized shadow depth range was removed in late 2020 in favor
of the Stable shadow depth range, but it still had a (broken) property
that allowed to enable it.
* Removed entirely from RenderingServer.
* Replaced by ImmediateMesh resource.
* ImmediateMesh replaces ImmediateGeometry, but could use more optimization in the future.
* Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D work again, ported from Godot 3.x (though a lot of work was needed to adapt them to Godot 4).
* RootMotionView works again.
* Polygon3D editor works again.
* This is the 3D counterpart to #49632
* Implemented a bit different as 3D works using instancing
After merged, both 2D and 3D classes will most likely be renamed in a separate PR to DisplayNotifier2D/3D.
This commit adds the following properties to GeometryInstance3D: `visibility_range_begin`,
`visibility_range_begin_margin`, `visibility_range_end`, `visibility_range_end_margin`.
Together they define a range in which the GeometryInstance3D will be visible from the camera,
taking hysteresis into account for state changes. A begin or end value of 0 will be ignored,
so the visibility range can be open-ended in both directions.
This commit also adds the `visibility_parent` property to 'Node3D'.
Which defines the visibility parents of the node and its subtree (until
another parent is defined).
Visual instances with a visibility parent will only be visible when the parent, and all of its
ancestors recursively, are hidden because they are closer to the camera than their respective
`visibility_range_begin` thresholds.
Combining visibility ranges and visibility parents users can set-up a quick HLOD system
that shows high detail meshes when close (i.e buildings, trees) and merged low detail meshes
for far away groups (i.e. cities, woods).
* GIProbe is now VoxelGI
* BakedLightmap is now LightmapGI
As godot adds more ways to provide GI (as an example, SDFGI in 4.0), the different techniques (which have different pros/cons) need to be properly named to avoid confusion.
Added an occlusion culling system with support for static occluder meshes.
It can be enabled via `Project Settings > Rendering > Occlusion Culling > Use Occlusion Culling`.
Occluders are defined via the new `Occluder3D` resource and instanced using the new
`OccluderInstance3D` node. The occluders can also be automatically baked from a
scene using the built-in editor plugin.
And fixups:
- Add missing bindings in RenderingServer
- Remove duplicate ArrayMesh enum bindings (they're in Mesh already)
- Remove redundant _unhandled_key_input binding in Control (it's in Node
already)
Allow gradients and 2d images.
Use shader versions for LUT in tonemap
