When a shader error is printed about a built-in shader, the origin
of the shader will now be recognizable immediately by looking at
the top of the printed shader code.
* Make sure shaders are named, to aid in debug in case of failure
* SceneRenderRD was being wrongly initialized (virtual functions being called when derivative class not initialized).
* Fixed some bugs resulting on the above being corrected.
The "Use Parent Material" option now does something when enabled on a CanvasItem. As before, it's not just limited to a node's direct parent but can move up the tree until it finds a material.
Also corrected a typo in rendering_device_vulkan.h that didn't merit its own commit.
* Specialization constants used to disable anything not needed to draw
* Added softshadow and projector support on mobile.
This new approach ensures mobile shaders are smaller and more efficient, but relies on more pipeline versions compiled on demand.
As a result, random stalls can ocur like in Godot 3.x. These will be solved by using background compilation and fallbacks eventually (but needs to be tested first).
The project setting wasn't being used anywhere.
This also tweaks the property hints to denote that these properties
are only effective after a restart.
* Only apply final actions to attachments used in the last pass.
* Fixes to draw list final action (was using continue instead of read/drop).
* Profiling regions inside draw lists now properly throw errors.
* Ability to enable gpu profile printing from project settings. (used to debug).
* Simplified code a lot, bias based on normalized cascade size.
* Lets scale cascades, max distance, etc. without creating acne.
* Fixed normal biasing in directional shadows.
I removed normal biasing in both omni and spot shadows, since the technique can't be easily implemented there.
Will need to be replaced by something else.
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob.
* On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse.
* On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL.
This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved.
I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware.
There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.
Found via `codespell -q 3 -S ./thirdparty,*.po,./DONORS.md -L ackward,ang,ans,ba,beng,cas,childs,childrens,dof,doubleclick,fave,findn,hist,inout,leapyear,lod,nd,numer,ois,ony,paket,seeked,sinc,switchs,te,uint`
* 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.
* 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.
* use valid format for framebuffer: VK_FORMAT_A2B10G10R10_UNORM_PACK32
* Unfortunately cant be used for compute.
* Mobile will need to do refprobe, sky, mipmapblurring using raster.
* Keep track of when projector, softshadow or directional sofshadow were enabled.
* Enable them via specializaton constant where it makes sense.
* Re-implements soft shadows.
* Re-implements light projectors.
* Added support to our local copy of SpirV Reflect (which does not support it).
* Pass them on render or compute pipeline creation.
* Not implemented in our shaders yet.
* IF a texture was reimported (calling replace as an example), it would invalidate all materials using it, causing plenty of errors.
* Added the possibility to get a notification when a uniform set is erased.
* With this notification, materials can be queued for update properly.
* Implements the code to show the boot splash on load using RenderingDevice
* Does not work on X11 when maximized, some platform specific hack will be needed there.
* 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.
* Colors were imported as 16BPP (half float)
* Far most common use cases only require 8BPP
* If you need higher data precision, use a custom array, which are supported now.
**WARNING**: 3D Scenes imported in 4.0 no longer compatible with this new format. You need to re-import them (erase them from .godot/import)
* 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.
* Editor 2D viewport now uses embedded subwindows (windows no longer pop up)
* Restored the ability to disable 3D on the 2D viewport (makes 3D not display on 2D when there is a camera on the scene)
* Ability to allocate empty objects in RID_Owner, so RID_PtrOwner is not needed in most cases.
* Improves cache usage, as objects are now allocated together
* Should improve performance in 2D rendering
* Added a function to ignore subsequent commands if they don't fall within the slice.
* This will be used by the new TileMap to properly provide animated tiles.
* 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.
* Works from RenderinServer
* Accurately tells when on or off-scren, its no longer approximate.
* VisibilityEnabler also simplified to use the process mode instead.
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).
* RingBuffer had no reason to be in this context
* A single buffer is used that can grow as much as the game needs.
This should make thread loading entirely reliable.
* 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.
YSort now has a compatibility alias to Node2D.
Updated TileMap to use the existing Node2D y_sort_enabled property instead
of its own property.
Updated Node2D doc to include the new y_sort_enabled member.
Updated TileMap doc to remove its mention of cell_y_sort.
Deleted YSort doc.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
It turns out the calculation of the bounding rect for canvas items has a nasty bug. When a transform is applied (especially in a custom draw), in the renderer this extra matrix is applied to all later commands in the canvas item. However in the calculation of the bound, the transform is only applied to the first command following the transform.
This PR fixes this inconsistency.
