- 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.
Automatically set the `baked_light` bool when applying a lightmap to an
instance. This ensures the disabling of dynamic lights when the
bake mode is set to ALL.
- Based on C++11's `thread` and `thread_local`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed (except for the few cases of non-portable functions)
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Thread ids are now the same across platforms (main is 1; others follow)
- Based on C++11's `mutex` and `condition_variable`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- Based on C++11's `mutex`
- No more need to allocate-deallocate or check for null
- No pointer anymore, just a member variable
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed
- Simpler for `NO_THREADS`
- `BinaryMutex` added for special cases as the non-recursive version
- `MutexLock` now takes a reference. At this point the cases of null `Mutex`es are rare. If you ever need that, just don't use `MutexLock`.
- `ScopedMutexLock` is dropped and replaced by `MutexLock`, because they were pretty much the same.
When making items visible from the visual server, the collision check is deferred to prevent two identical collision checks when set_pairable is called shortly after.
It turns out that for some items (especially meshes), set_pairable is never called. This PR detects this occurrence and forces a collision check at the end of the routine.
A major feature lacking in the octree was proper support for setting visibility / activation. This meant that invisible objects were still causing lots of processing in the tree unnecessarily.
This PR adds proper support for activation, items are temporarily removed from the tree and collision detection when inactive.
Leaves in the bug fixes, but reverts the change to the update method.
Turns out the new update method of getting the scenarios was causing problems, I will need to consult with reduz on the best way of getting access to the scenarios for a single update per frame.
Doing multiple updates isn't terrible but it should be nicer to get a single update working, as it should be more efficient, and give a single point for pairing callbacks.
Change render BVH update scheme from once per update_dirty_instances to a new update_scenarios function called once per draw.
Fix lights not being properly unpaired.
Fixed bug in add_changed_item where AABBs were not being updated due to more than one update per tick.
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)
Complete rewrite of spatial partitioning using a bounding volume hierarchy rather than octree.
Switchable in project settings between using octree or BVH for rendering and physics.
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.
Prevents adding new octants until a limiting number of elements have been added to the current octant. This enables balancing the benefits of brute force against the benefits of spatial partitioning. The limit can be set per octree.
Project settings are added for rendering octree to set the best balance per project depending on number of tests per frame / tick, and the amount of editing of the octree.
Fixes octants being leaked when removing elements.
Optimize octree with cached linear lists
Storing elements in octants using linked lists is efficient for housekeeping but very slow for testing. This optimization stores additional local_vectors with Element pointers and AABBs which are cached and only updated when a dirty flag is set on the octant.
This is selectable with 2 versions of Octree : Octree and Octree_CL, Octree being the old behaviour. At present the cached list version is only used for the visual server octree (rendering) as it has only been demonstrated to be faster there so far.
This uses slightly more memory (probably a few kb in most cases) but can be significantly faster during testing (culling etc).

Dual paraboloid shadowmaps were ending up with infinitely large volumes of area behind the hemisphere un-culled.
This change just adds a back plane to the convex shape used for the culling volume.
Fixes#26637.
Fixes#19900.
The viewport_size returned by get_viewport_size was previously incorrect, being half the correct value. The function is renamed to get_viewport_half_extents, and now returns a Vector2.
Code which called this function has also been modified accordingly.
This PR also fixes shadow culling when using ortho cameras, because the correct input for CameraMatrix::set_orthogonal should be the full HEIGHT from get_viewport_half_extents, and not half the width.
It also fixes state.ubo_data.viewport_size in rasterizer_scene_gles3.cpp to be the width and the height of the viewport in pixels as stated in the documentation, rather than the current value which is half the viewport extents in worldspace, presumed to be a bug.
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.
Showing and hiding geometry nodes was not showing or hiding their respective shadows. This fixes this by marking any affected lights as dirty.
Fixes#29856
For clarity, assign-to-release idiom for PoolVector::Read/Write
replaced with a function call.
Existing uses replaced (or removed if already handled by scope)
Reasoning: ID is not an acronym, it is simply short for identification, so it logically should not be capitalized. But even if it was an acronym, other acronyms in Godot are not capitalized, like p_rid, p_ip, and p_json.
The bake mode property of lights previously didn't affect GI probes.
This change makes the GI probe ignore lights that have their bake mode
set to disabled.
It seems to stay compatible with formatting done by clang-format 6.0 and 7.0,
so contributors can keep using those versions for now (they will not undo those
changes).
CLAMP limits the value between the two bounds, so for unsigned ints
it should be replaced by MIN(val, max), not MAX.
The issue in voxel_light_baker.cpp was fixed in 4f697f7.
Fixes#26170.
