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".
Backported from #70885.
Adds special logic for handling skeleton bounding rect updates. Previously these were never being updated because the canvas item is never set to "rect_dirty".
(cherry picked from commit 18bb668a2e)
Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the visual server.
Switchable on and off with project setting.
This version does not add new API for set_transform etc, when nodes have the interpolated flag set they will always use interpolation.
Wrapper functions for uploading buffers to OpenGL take all sizes and offsets in bytes. Some buffer sizes are specified as units (e.g. float) so require conversion to bytes when calling the buffer upload functions.
Two such bugs have been fixed in blendshapes, and parameter names and comments have been changed to emphasize that sizes should be in bytes.
In addition DEV_ASSERTS in the upload wrappers have been changed to ERR_FAIL.
The "webgl/webgl2.h" include provides that function, but it's not
available in emscripten versions < 2.0.17 .
Since we need to support emscripten 1.39.9 (mono builds), this commit
adds a JS function in library_godot_display.js as a compatibility layer
for it, and implement glGetBufferSubData by funneling the call to that
function (so we don't have name collisions JS-side with recent emcc).
All those hacks are now moved to the platform directory instead of being
ifdefs inside the drivers implementations.
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).
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.
Change the existing DEV_ASSERT function to be switched on and off by the DEV_ENABLED define. DEV_ASSERT breaks into the debugger as soon as hit.
Add error macros DEV_CHECK and DEV_CHECK_ONCE to add an alternative check that ERR_PRINT when a condition fails, again only enabled in DEV_ENABLED builds.
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.
- 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.
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)
While adding more debug checks to legacy renderer, I closed 2 types of vulnerabilities:
* TYPE_PRIMITIVE would previously read from uninitialized data if only specifying a single color
* Other legacy draw operations would fail in debug AFTER accessing out of bounds memory rather than before
Many calls to glBufferSubData are wrapped in a safe version which checks for out of bounds and exits the draw function if this is detected.
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.
It can be enabled in the Project Settings
(`rendering/quality/filters/use_debanding`). It's disabled
by default as it has a small performance impact and can make
PNG screenshots much larger (due to how dithering works).
As a result, it should be enabled only when banding is noticeable enough.
Since debanding requires a HDR viewport to work, it's only supported
in the GLES3 backend.
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
Don't apply lighting to objects when they have a lightmap texture and
the light is set to BAKE_ALL. This prevents applying the same direct
light twice on the same object and makes setting up scenes with mixed
lighting much easier.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.

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.
While OpenGL ES 3.0 and WebGL 2.0 both support non power-of-2 (NPOT)
textures in their specification, the situation seems to be less clear
about *compressed* NPOT textures using repeat or mipmap flags.
At least Chrome on Linux doesn't seem to support this combination,
and a variety of mobile hardware have similar limitations.
As a workaround, we force decompressing such textures when running on
WebGL 2.0, at the cost of loading time and memory usage.
Fixes#33058.
