* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
Neither name is a perfect match but `Curve3Texture` looked too similar to
`CurveTexture` and `Curve3D`, which made things confusing when picking a
texture type or browsing the API reference.
Clean: remove duplicate and interior vertices (uses Bullet algorithm)
Simplify: modify the geometry for further simplification (uses VHACD
algorithm)
In the editor, single convex hull now uses the clean option.
Added a new editor entry to create a simplified convex hull, can be
useful for creating convex hull from highly tessellated triangle meshes.
This prevents setting too large values and crashing the editor.
Very low values are also no longer allowed since they are generally
not detailed enough to represent complex gradients, leading to confusion.
Previously, only StandardMaterial3D could be defined as an alternative
to ShaderMaterial.
This also reorders the CanvasItemMaterial property hints to follow
alphabetical order (which is enforced by the inspector).
* This was required by users in some scenarios, such as animating individual axes over time with a single texture.
* Examples: Shaders, Particles, etc.
* CurveTexture now defaults to RGB, can be changed to Red if needed, this allows to freely exchange them.
* Colors were imported as 16BPP (half float)
* Far most common use cases only require 8BPP
* If you need higher data precision, use a custom array, which are supported now.
**WARNING**: 3D Scenes imported in 4.0 no longer compatible with this new format. You need to re-import them (erase them from .godot/import)
* Removed entirely from RenderingServer.
* Replaced by ImmediateMesh resource.
* ImmediateMesh replaces ImmediateGeometry, but could use more optimization in the future.
* Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D work again, ported from Godot 3.x (though a lot of work was needed to adapt them to Godot 4).
* RootMotionView works again.
* Polygon3D editor works again.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
The CylinderMesh generation code handles this special case and
avoids generating the top and bottom faces if their radius is equal
to 0. This improves performance by reducing the number of vertices
to draw.
If both values are set to 0, nothing will be visible but the mesh
generation will still succeed.
This also improves the CylinderMesh class documentation.
Regression fix: update_exports is tool only and should be used only in
the editor, otherwise it can cause export variable overrides from
instances to be discarded in favor of the parent's value.
