Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Issues fixed:
- Updated assimp to latest and backported fixes into godot.
- Fixed file scale being ignored from FBX file.
- Fixed bone removal
- Implemented proper armature binding
- Fixed recursion not always going through the entire path
- Implemented assimp global scaling system
- Fixed assimp global scale process to support unit conversion
- Implemented proper fbx scaling
- Fixed asserts caused by missing faces in some models which could crash
- Fixed valid bone removal
- Fixed root node being overwriten by assimp which caused data loss
- Fixed armature construction so that it works with multiple roots
- Implemented basic support for FBX standard materials
- Refactoring to improve code quality and improve function reuse.
- Simplified node creation from assimp scene into subsections: create_light, create_mesh, create_bone.
- Creating meshes is now done after hierarchy is created so that the skeleton is always available.
- Added support to assimp to support file scale in all formats which call SetFileScale.
- Many other fixes provided into assimp.
Known issues:
- FBX pivots from Maya do not currently work. (workaround: for now use blender import and export to remove pivot tracks)
- Hierarchy creates an extra node for each mesh - this was done intentionally but we intended to do a pass to remove these as they're a required node.
- When an animated mesh has not executed any animation the rest pose is wrong.
