This is only available on the GLES3 backend.
This can be useful for advanced shaders, but it should generally
not be enabled otherwise as full precision has a performance cost.
For general-purpose rendering, the built-in debanding filter should
be used to reduce banding instead.
Small bug in the logic, the roaming objects only should be set to done when they have been marked as visible, rather than the first time they are examined. This is because they can be seen in a room through multiple portals, and each needs to be tested until there is either a visible result or all the portals in are visited.
This backports the high quality glow mode from the `master` branch.
Previously, during downsample, every second row was ignored.
Now, when high-quality is used, we sample two rows at once to ensure
that no pixel is missed. It is slower, but looks much better and has
a much high stability while moving.
High quality also takes an additional horizontal sample the width of the
horizontal blur matches the height of the vertical blur.
Fixed a bug in the complex PVS generation which was causing recursive loop.
Move some of the settings out of RoomManager into Project Settings.
Allow PVS generation method to be selected from Project Settings, and control PVS logging.
Fixes a bug whereby it read from the primary PVS in the gameplay monitor, using the size from the secondary PVS. This would read out of bounds and crash.
Removed debug code to update the gameplay monitor from the preview camera - this is no longer required.
Temporarily revert to the simple PVS generation method, because I've noticed a bug in the complex version, and the simple version is safer while I fix this.
The existing tracing routine for building the PVS was rather simple compared to the main portal tracing, and could not correctly cope with paths that went through multiple portals from room A to B, and as a result would sometimes miss room entries in the PVS resulting in too many culled rooms in these circumstances.
This PR adds an improved function that can cope with entering a room multiple times during a trace. As a result it has to take care of portal directions (to prevent going back on itself) in a similar, but not identical way to the main portal tracing routine, and internal rooms, to prevent recursive loops.
In some situations looking out from an internal room it was possible to look back into the portal into the internal room.
This PR fixes this by keeping a single item 'stack' record of the last external room, and preventing recursing into this room. This also makes tracing significantly more efficient out of internal rooms, as there is no need to trace the external room multiple times.
This PR makes the 'convert rooms' button permanently on the toolbar and accessible whichever node is selected, so you can convert rooms without having to select the RoomManager first.
It also adds a togglable item 'view portal culling' to the 'View' menu which is a simple way of setting the RoomManager 'active' setting without the RoomManager being the selected node.
Both of these have keyboard shortcuts, which should make it much faster to reconvert rooms and edit.
In addition there the string in the 'Perspective' Listbox is modified to show [portals active] when portal culling is operational, for visual feedback. This is updated when you change modes, and when the rooms are invalidated.
When using the preview camera feature it turns out as well as culling the game objects, this also culls the editor gizmos from the preview camera, which makes the editor hard to use in this mode.
To get around this problem we simply disable frustum culling for GLOBAL portal_mode objects when in preview camera mode. This could be a bit slower in an editor scene with lots of gizmos but is the simplest way of solving the problem.
Portal margins were not being correctly sent to the PortalRenderer from the SceneTree, so all margins were being used as default (1.0). This PR fixes this.
It turned out the new autolinking feature was linking portals AFTER the static meshes had been added to rooms in the PortalRenderer. This meant that large meshes weren't being sprawled across these portals. The fix involves doing the autolinking BEFORE adding the static meshes.
Fixes a bug in the warning for portals being in the wrong direction, they should have only been checkout for outgoing portals. This was resulting in erroneous warnings.
Also the room conversion logs are refined to be more compact and informative.
A warning icon is also added in the gizmo for portals where autolink fails.
This is an older, easier to implement variant of CAS as a pure
fragment shader. It doesn't support upscaling, but we won't make
use of it (at least for now).
The sharpening intensity can be adjusted on a per-Viewport basis.
For the root viewport, it can be adjusted in the Project Settings.
Since `textureLodOffset()` isn't available in GLES2, there is no
way to support contrast-adaptive sharpening in GLES2.
It turns out the calculation of the bounding rect for canvas items has a nasty bug. When a transform is applied (especially in a custom draw), in the renderer this extra matrix is applied to all later commands in the canvas item. However in the calculation of the bound, the transform is only applied to the first command following the transform.
This PR fixes this inconsistency.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
Backport of #48239.
- 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.
More work is needed to make sure that those options actually solve users' issues, so we prefer to remove the options for 3.2.4 and revisit for a future release.
this was causing issues with scenes where the origin of the objects
was set for all objects to the center of the scene, making transparent
objects sort improperly

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.
Two common problems have emerged as a result of transform snapping:
1) Camera jitter with a camera following a snapped object
2) Pixel gaps between e.g. a platform and a player, where a platform rounds down and a player rounds up
Using round seems to greatly reduce problems due to camera jitter. It also may prove better for pixel gaps because pixel art is often designed on a grid, so whole numbers are too expected, which are unstable with floor().
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed

- 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.
Partially revert change allowing sprite get_rect snapping to be controlled by `pixel_snap` again rather than `transform_snap` (to prevent breaking compatibility). Adds a final `use_camera_snap` project setting to allow snapping viewports as in reduz original PR.
It can be enabled in the Project Settings
(`rendering/quality/filters/use_debanding`). It's disabled
by default as it has a small performance impact and can make
PNG screenshots much larger (due to how dithering works).
As a result, it should be enabled only when banding is noticeable enough.
Since debanding requires a HDR viewport to work, it's only supported
in the GLES3 backend.
Batching is mostly separated into a common template which can be used with multiple backends (GLES2 and GLES3 here). Only necessary specifics are in the backend files.
Batching is extended to cover more primitives.
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.
Option in MeshInstance to enable software skinning, in order to test
against the current USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path which causes problems
with bad performance.

Keeps track of the order in which items are collected by
_collect_ysort_children, and uses that order to break
ties between items with similar Y positions.
(cherry picked from commit 8d3afa985b)
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).
