As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
This improves the workflow for animations in a single timeline.
The users are no longer forced to slice one animation named "default".
Instead users can choose which animation(s) to break and how.
Changes:
- Remove slicing options from the animation player import menu
- Add such options to the animation import menu
- Rename clips to slices wherever was left
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
Added the ability to import scenes as AnimationLibrary
* Completes implementation of https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/4296
* Helps if you want to export animations to a separate file (say a GLTF) to avoid re-importing/exporting them every time the model changes.
* Helps if you simply want to have animations using a dummy model, which can be shared across multiple models.
Creates a secondary scene importer used only for animations.
**NOTE**: A new flag for scene importer: EditorSceneFormatImporter.IMPORT_DISCARD_MESHES_AND_MATERIALS has been added, to hint importers that they should skip meshes and animations (and hence make importing faster). It is not implemented in any importer yet, this should be done in a separate PR.
Improvements:
* Occluder3D is now an abstract type inherited by: ArrayOccluder3D, QuadOccluder3D, BoxOccluder3D, SphereOccluder3D and PolygonOccluder3D. ArrayOccluder3D serves the same purpose as the old Occluder3D (triangle mesh occluder) while the rest are primitives that can be used to manually place simple occluders.
* Occluder baking can now apply simplification. The "bake_simplification_distance" property can be used to set a world-space distance as the desired maximum error, set to 0.1 by default.
* Occluders can now be generated on import. Using the "occ" and "occonly" keywords (similar to "col" and "colonly" for colliders) or by enabling on MeshInstance3Ds in the scene's import window.
Fixes:
* Fixed saving of occluder files after bake.
* Fixed a small error where occluders didn't correctly update in the rendering server.
Bonus content:
* Generalized "CollisionPolygon3DEditor" so it can also be used to edit Resources. Renamed it to "Polygon3DEditor" since it was already being used by other things, not just colliders.
* Fixed a small bug in "EditorPropertyArray" where a call to "remove" was left after the "remove_at" rename.
This was changed in #56943 to allow adding new importers from plugins that
take precedence over built-in ones, but this should be opt-in, not the default
behavior.
Fixes#57730.
-Allows displaying custom options for specific file format variants
-Added support for scene format import to retrieve custom options
This PR is necessary for #54886 to be implemented properly.
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.
* New plugin system to control the whole import workflow
* Can add options and run code at every import step (general, per node, mesh, animation, material etc.)
This constitutes a first version of these plugins. The ability to interact with the import preview dialog will likely be added later on.
Following actions are supported for each track type (position, rotatin, scale):
* ImportIfPresent: If a track of this type is found, import it.
* ImportIfPresentForall (default): If a track is found for a given node/bone, create it in animations. This ensures there is always a correct blending.
* Never: Delete all tracks found for a given type. This is useful if you want to, as an example, force to import rotations only.
* `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.
Convert GLTF Document to use ImporterMeshInstance3D.
Add a GLTFDocument extension list and an extension for converting the importer mesh instance 3d to mesh instance 3d.
Use GLTF module when the editor tools are disabled.
Modified the render server to be less restrictive on matching blend arrays and have more logging.
Misc bugs with multimesh.
Always index the meshes.
With this PR it's possible to add a collision during the Mesh import, directly in editor.
To generate the shape is possible to chose between the following options:
- Decompose Convex: The Mesh is decomposed in one or many Convex Shapes (Using the VHACD library).
- Simple Convex: Is generated a convex shape that enclose the entire mesh.
- Trimesh: Generate a trimesh shape using the Mesh faces.
- Box: Add a primitive box shape, where you can tweak the `size`, `position`, `rotation`.
- Sphere: Add a primitive sphere shape, where you can tweak the `radius`, `position`, `rotation`.
- Cylinder: Add a primitive cylinder shape, where you can tweak the `height`, `radius`, `position`, `rotation`.
- Capsule: Add a primitive capsule shape, where you can tweak the `height`, `radius`, `position`, `rotation`.
It's also possible to chose the generated body, so you can create:
- Rigid Body
- Static Body
- Area

* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
Various fixes to UV2 unwrapping and the GPU lightmapper. Listed here for
context in case of git blame/bisect:
* Fix UV2 unwrapping on import, also cleaned up the unwrap cache code.
* Fix saving of RGBA images in EXR format.
* Fixes to the GPU lightmapper:
- Added padding between atlas elements, avoids bleeding.
- Remove old SDF generation code.
- Fix baked attenuation for Omni/Spot lights.
- Fix baking of material properties onto UV2 (wireframe was
wrongly used before).
- Disable statically baked lights for objects that have a
lightmap texture to avoid applying the same light twice.
- Fix lightmap pairing in RendererSceneCull.
- Fix UV2 array generated from `RenderingServer::mesh_surface_get_arrays()`.
- Port autoexposure fix for OIDN from 3.x.
- Save debug textures as EXR when using floating point format.
- For now everything imports multithreaded by default (should work I guess, let's test).
- Controllable per importer
Early test benchmark. 64 large textures (importing as lossless, _not_ as vram) on a mobile i7, 12 threads:
Importing goes down from 46 to 7 seconds.
For VRAM I will change the logic to use a compressing thread in a subsequent PR, as well as implementing Betsy.
* Added option for importers to show an Advanced settings dialog
* Created advanced settings dialog for Scene Importer
* Cleaned up importers (remove many old/unused options)
* Added the ability to customize every node, material, mesh and animation individually
* Saving to animations and meshes to files is now a manual process, making it more predictable
* Added the ability for materials to be replaced by external files (or to be made external, up to you).
* When doubleclicking an impoted scene in the filesystem dock, it automatically shows the import settings instead of asking to open it.
WARNING: Lightmap UV unwrap is not working, it needs to be re-made.
-When importing, a vertex-only version of the mesh is created.
-This version is used when rendering shadows, and improves performance by reducing bandwidth
-It's automatic, but can optionally be used by users, in case they want to make special versions of geometry for shadow casting.
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 🎆
* Support KHR_texture_transform.
* Support exporting glTF2
* Support exporting instanced scenes
* Extract into a gltf state and gltf document
* Add a tools menu for exporting gltf2
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
-Reworked how meshes are treated by importer by using EditorSceneImporterMesh and EditorSceneImporterMeshNode. Instead of Mesh and MeshInstance, this allows more efficient processing of meshes before they are actually registered in the RenderingServer.
-Integrated MeshOptimizer
-Reworked internals of SurfaceTool to use arrays, making it more performant and easy to run optimizatons on.
-Changed how mesh data is organized, hoping to make it more efficient on Vulkan and GLES.
-Removed compression, it now always uses the most efficient format.
-Added support for custom arrays (up to 8 custom formats)
-Added support for 8 weights in skeleton data.
-Added a simple optional versioning system for imported assets, to reimport if binary is newer
-Fixes #43979 (I needed to test)
WARNING:
-NOT backwards compatible with previous 4.x-devel, will most likely never be, but it will force reimport scenes due to version change.
-NOT backwards compatible with 3.x scenes, this will be eventually re-added.
-Skeletons not working any longer, will fix in next PR.
