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 🎆
Fixes#44761, was a regression from #44524.
The PR passed CI because EditorNode::get_viewport() used to shadow Node::get_viewport()
(which was a bug in itself, fixed by #44524), so once it was renamed the existing code
relying on it fell back to the now available Node::get_viewport().
This might bite some thirdparty modules too.
This makes it possible to view far away objects without
having to tweak any settings. This results in a more usable
editor when working on large-scale levels.
This change should have no impact on performance, but note that
Z-fighting will be visible at a distance. This can be made less
visible by increasing the Znear value (however, doing so will cause
nearby surfaces to disappear).
This change was also applied to the editor, but it will only
apply to newly created scenes.
This also changes the default camera settings in the glTF importer
to match the Camera node's defaults.
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
- Brighten gizmos when highlighted to make the difference between a
non-highlighted and a highlighted gizmo more visible.
- Tweak the manipulator gizmo size property hint.
-Changed how mesh data is organized, hoping to make it more efficient on Vulkan and GLES.
-Removed compression, it now always uses the most efficient format.
-Added support for custom arrays (up to 8 custom formats)
-Added support for 8 weights in skeleton data.
-Added a simple optional versioning system for imported assets, to reimport if binary is newer
-Fixes #43979 (I needed to test)
WARNING:
-NOT backwards compatible with previous 4.x-devel, will most likely never be, but it will force reimport scenes due to version change.
-NOT backwards compatible with 3.x scenes, this will be eventually re-added.
-Skeletons not working any longer, will fix in next PR.
unhandled_key_input changed to unhandled_button_input. Controls can set a 'shortcut_context' which they can then use to determine if their shortcuts should be triggered or not, based on if the viewport's focused GUI control is a child of their 'shortcut context'.
Resolvesgodotengine/godot-proposals#1246.
It is difficult to tell the difference between the handles for adjusting
curves and the points themselves when looking at a Path gizmo.
This re-uses the icons used for Path2D.
Unlike Path2D, this does not use a different icon for smooth vs sharp
points, as using a potentially different material for each point would
prevent batching the points in add_handles (and adding them out-of-order
messes up other logic based on handle indices).
This includes a public API change to allow specifying a texture for a
handle material. This allows spatial gizmo plugins to customize the way
a handle is rendered, if desired, but does not break existing behavior
(as providing no texture uses the default).
The path handle icons were resized as well. 16x16 is the standard icon
size. These icons were 10x10 rather than 16x16, and appeared rather
small in the editor.
To resize, I:
- Opened the original in Inkscape
- Resized the document to 16x16
- Opened the transform dialog
- Scaled by 160% proportionally
- Used Align/Distribute to center on the page
- Saved the document
- Cleaned with `svgcleaner --multipass`
- Draw two boxes slightly offset from each other to give the illustion
of a thicker outline.
- Decrease the offset compared to the 3D node's AABB to give a more
accurate representation of its size.
- Make the box fully visible instead of only displaying the corners.
- Draw a x-ray version of the box that's more translucent, but visible
through walls. This helps make the box more visible while still
having a sense of depth.
- Use an orange color similar to the 2D editor.
