This PR and commit adds a new IK system for 2D with the Skeleton2D node
that adds several new IK solvers, a way to control bones in a Skeleton2D
node similar to that in Skeleton3D. It also adds additional changes
and functionality.
This work was sponsored by GSoC 2020 and TwistedTwigleg.
Full list of changes:
* Adds a SkeletonModifier2D resource
* This resource is the base where all IK code is written and executed
* Has a function for clamping angles, since it is so commonly used
* Modifiers are unique when duplicated so it works with instancing
* Adds a SkeletonModifierStack2D resource
* This resource manages a series of SkeletonModification2Ds
* This is what the Skeleton2D directly interfaces with to make IK possible
* Adds SkeletonModifier2D resources for LookAt, CCDIK, FABRIK, Jiggle, and TwoBoneIK
* Each modification is in its own file
* There is also a SkeletonModifier2D resource that acts as a stack for using multiple stacks together
* Adds a PhysicalBone2D node
* Works similar to the PhysicalBone3D node, but uses a RigidBody2D node
* Changes to Skeleton2D listed below:
* Skeleton2D now holds a single SkeletonModificationStack2D for IK
* Skeleton2D now has a local_pose_override, which overrides the Bone2D position similar to how the overrides work in Skeleton3D
* Changes to Bone2D listed below:
* The default_length property has been changed to length. Length is the length of the bone to its child bone node
* New bone_angle property, which is the angle the bone has to its first child bone node
* Bone2D caches its transform when not modified by IK for IK interpolation purposes
* Bone2D draws its own editor gizmo, though this is stated to change in the future
* Changes to CanvasItemEditor listed below:
* Bone2D gizmo drawing code removed
* The 2D IK code is removed. Now Bone2D is the only bone system for 2D
* Transform2D now has a looking_at function for rotating to face a position
* Two new node notifications: NOTIFICATION_EDITOR_PRE_SAVE and NOTIFICATION_EDITOR_POST_SAVE
* These notifications only are called in the editor right before and after saving a scene
* Needed for not saving the IK position when executing IK in the editor
* Documentation for all the changes listed above.
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 🎆
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.
