Due to multi pass approach to lighting in GLES2, in some situations the rendered result can look different if lights are presented in a different order.
The order (aside from directional lights) seems to be simply copied from the culling routine (octree or bvh) which is essentially arbitrary. While octree is usually consistent with order, bvh uses a trickle optimize which may result in lights occurring in different order from frame to frame.
This PR adds an extra layer of sorting on GLES2 lights in order to get some kind of order consistency.
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)
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.
This makes height fog appear at the bottom of the scene
(instead of the top), which is generally the expected result.
This also tweaks the fog height setting hint to be more flexible.
This closes#30709.
This is a new singleton where camera sources such as webcams or cameras on a mobile phone can register themselves with the Server.
Other parts of Godot can interact with this to obtain images from the camera as textures.
This work includes additions to the Visual Server to use this functionality to present the camera image in the background. This is specifically targetted at AR applications.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
This commit unhacks some parts of the 3D rendering.
Most notably:
- possibility to use negative texture units
(no longer weird manual index allocation for user samplers)
- refactoring of light code, now sorts in a different way,
should yield better performance
- fixes a crash while saving (because of "Illegal instruction" execution)
when using a decent compiler (clang, it's clang. Thanks GCC for not telling me about UB).
This commit adds a new rendering backend, GLES2, and adds a
project setting to enable it.
Currently this backend can only be used on the X11 platform,
but integrating into other platforms is planned.
