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 GeometryInstance
(and therefore MeshInstance), 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.
Implemented in rasterizer of both GLES2 and GLES3.
Async. compilation via ubershader is currently available in the scene and particles shaders only.
Bonus:
- Use `#if defined()` syntax for not true conditionals, so they don't unnecessarily take a bit in the version flagset.
- Remove unused `ENABLE_CLIP_ALPHA` from scene shader.
- Remove unused `PARTICLES_COPY` from the particles shader.
- Remove unused uniform related code.
- Shader language/compiler: use ordered hash maps for deterministic code generation (needed for caching).
For octahedral compressed normals/tangents, we use vec4 in the shader
regardless of whether a normal/tangent does/doesn't exist
For the case where we only have a normal vector, we need to specify that
there are only two components being used when calling glVertexAttrib
Before we would always specify that there were 4 components, and used
offsets to determine where in the vertex buffer to read data from but
this doesn't work on all platforms
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
This provides more realistic lighting with a very small performance cost.
The option is available in both GLES3 and GLES2, and can be enabled in
the Project Settings. This goes well with the ACES Fitted tonemapping mode
that was recently added.
When enabled, this also makes upgrading Godot 3.x projects to Godot 4.0 easier,
since lighting in 3.x will better match how it'll look in Godot 4.0.
Update mesh_surface_get_format_stride and
mesh_surface_make_offsets_from_format to return an array of offsets and
an array of strides in order to support vertex stream splitting
Update _get_array_from_surface to also support vertex stream splitting
Add a condition on split stream usage to ensure it does not get used on
dynamic meshes
Handle case when Tangent is compressed but Normal is not compressed
Make stream splitting option require a restart in the settings
Update SoftBody and Sprite3D to support and use strides and offsets
returned by updated visual_server functions
Update Sprite3D to use the dynamic mesh flag
With the octahedral compression, we had attributes of a size of 2 bytes
which potentially caused performance regressions on iOS/Mac
Now add padding to the normal/tangent buffer
For octahedral, normal will always be oct32 encoded
UNLESS tangent exists and is also compressed
then both will be oct16 encoded and packed into a vec4<GL_BYTE>
attribute
Implement Octahedral Compression for normal/tangent vectors
*Oct32 for uncompressed vectors
*Oct16 for compressed vectors
Reduces vertex size for each attribute by
*Uncompressed: 12 bytes, vec4<float32> -> vec2<unorm16>
*Compressed: 2 bytes, vec4<unorm8> -> vec2<unorm8>
Binormal sign is encoded in the y coordinate of the encoded tangent
Added conversion functions to go from octahedral mapping to cartesian
for normal and tangent vectors
sprite_3d and soft_body meshes write to their vertex buffer memory
directly and need to convert their normals and tangents to the new oct
format before writing
Created a new mesh flag to specify whether a mesh is using octahedral
compression or not
Updated documentation to discuss new flag/defaults
Created shader flags to specify whether octahedral or cartesian vectors
are being used
Updated importers to use octahedral representation as the default format
for importing meshes
Updated ShaderGLES2 to support 64 bit version codes as we hit the limit
of the 32-bit integer that was previously used as a bitset to store
enabled/disabled flags
Implemented splitting of vertex positions and attributes in the vertex
buffer
Positions are sequential at the start of the buffer, followed by the
additional attributes which are interleaved
Made a project setting which enables/disabled the buffer formatting
throughout the project
Implemented in both GLES2 and GLES3
This improves performance particularly on tile-based GPUs as well as
cache performance for something like shadow mapping which only needs
position data
Updated Docs and Project Setting
This is an older, easier to implement variant of CAS as a pure
fragment shader. It doesn't support upscaling, but we won't make
use of it (at least for now).
The sharpening intensity can be adjusted on a per-Viewport basis.
For the root viewport, it can be adjusted in the Project Settings.
Since `textureLodOffset()` isn't available in GLES2, there is no
way to support contrast-adaptive sharpening in GLES2.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
Backport of #48239.
Allows users to override default API usage, in order to get best performance on different platforms.
Also changes the default legacy flags to use STREAM rather than DYNAMIC.
- Fix objects with no material being considered as fully transparent by the lightmapper.
- Added "environment_min_light" property: gives artistic control over the shadow color.
- Fixed "Custom Color" environment mode, it was ignored before.
- Added "interior" property to BakedLightmapData: controls whether dynamic capture objects receive environment light or not.
- Automatically update dynamic capture objects when the capture data changes (also works for "energy" which used to require object movement to trigger the update).
- Added "use_in_baked_light" property to GridMap: controls whether the GridMap will be included in BakedLightmap bakes.
- Set "flush zero" and "denormal zero" mode for SSE2 instructions in the Embree raycaster. According to Embree docs it should give a performance improvement.
Move definition of rendering/quality/filters/anisotropic_filter_level to
servers/visual_server.cpp, since both GLES2 and GLES3 now use it
rasterizer_storage_gles3.cpp: Remove a spurious variable write (the
value gets overwritten soon after)
- Fix Embree runtime when using MinGW (patch by @RandomShaper).
- Fix baking of lightmaps on GridMaps.
- Fix some GLSL errors.
- Fix overflow in the number of shader variants (GLES2).
Completely re-write the lightmap generation code:
- Follow the general lightmapper code structure from 4.0.
- Use proper path tracing to compute the global illumination.
- Use atlassing to merge all lightmaps into a single texture (done by @RandomShaper)
- Use OpenImageDenoiser to improve the generated lightmaps.
- Take into account alpha transparency in material textures.
- Allow baking environment lighting.
- Add bicubic lightmap filtering.
There is some minor compatibility breakage in some properties and methods
in BakedLightmap, but lightmaps generated in previous engine versions
should work fine out of the box.
The scene importer has been changed to generate `.unwrap_cache` files
next to the imported scene files. These files *SHOULD* be added to any
version control system as they guarantee there won't be differences when
re-importing the scene from other OSes or engine versions.
This work started as a Google Summer of Code project; Was later funded by IMVU for a good amount of progress;
Was then finished and polished by me on my free time.

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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
These were only put in for the betas, in order to test hypotheses for stalling on Macs. It seems that most of the problems in the Mac editor have been solved by fixing the excessive redraw_requests.
As a result no one has reported any results from these options, but in future we will be able to refer users to try the beta versions, so there is no need to include them in the stable release. Indeed they are only likely to cause confusion.
Large FVF allows batching of many custom shaders, but should not join items which have shaders that utilize BUILTINs which would change for each item, because these will not be sent individually, and all joined items would wrongly use the values from the first joined item.
As a result of the GLES specifications being vague about best practice for how buffers should be used dynamically, different GPUs / platforms appear to have different preferences.
Mac in particular seems to have a number of problems in this area, and none of the rendering team uses Macs. So far we have relied on guesswork to choose the best usage, but in an attempt to pin this down, this PR begins to introduce manual selection of options for users to test their configurations.
