This is a much simpler attempt to solve the same problem as #76060, but without breaking any compatibility.
* Adds a description of what model space is in the Vector3 enums (MODEL_* constants). This has the proper axes laid out for imported 3D assets.
* Adds the option to `look_at` using model_space, which uses Vector3.MODEL_FRONT as forward vector.
The attempt of this PR is to still break the assumption that there is a single direction of forward (which is not the case in Godot)
and make it easier to understand where 3D models are facing, as well as orienting them via look_at.
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".
Some were declared as structs (public by default) and others as classes
(private by default) but in practice all these math types exposed as
Variants are all 100% public.
A common source of errors is to call functions (such as round()) expecting them to work in place, but them actually being designed only to return the processed value. Not using the return value in this case in indicative of a bug, and can be flagged as a warning by using the [[nodiscard]] attribute.
The Transform::xform and xform_inv are made safe for Planes when using non-uniform scaling.
Optimization of calling sites to prevent loss of performance from the changes to xform(Plane).
