This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
Introduces support for FSR2 as a new upscaler option available from the project settings. Also introduces an specific render list for surfaces that require motion and the ability to derive motion vectors from depth buffer and camera motion.
TAA + MSAA would make Godot request unnecessary flags for an MSAA
velocity texture. flags that were not even actually needed.
This was causing:
1. Unsupported GPUs to fail completely (e.g. Intel Arc 770)
2. Wrong codepaths to be followed (causing validation errors, possibly
crashes or glitches)
3. Unnecessary performance impact in all GPUs.

Introduces a new structure to store samplers created with certain parameters instead of storing a 'custom' set of samplers. Allows viewports to correctly configure the mipmap bias and use it when rendering the scene.
Add the capability of resizing the transforms buffer for particles to be double its size and alternate where the current output is written to. Only works for particles that use index as their draw order.
Extends mesh instances that required custom vertex buffers to create two alternating buffers that are written to and binds them to use them as the previous vertex buffer when generating motion vectors.
There was an error in the other branch of the refactored function where the size of the array was not properly multiplied by the size of the float to check against the buffer size. This was only an error in the error-checking itself and not the functionality. There was also an error where the proper notification was not emitted whenever the buffer for the multimesh is recreated to invalidate the previous references the renderer might've created to it. This fixes CPU Particles getting corrupted when they're created without emission being enabled.
Direct buffer copies are required to perform certain operations more efficiently, as the only current alternative is to download the buffer to the CPU and upload it again. As the first use case, the new function is used when enabling motion vectors on multimeshes.
Fixes#67287. There was a subtle error where due to how enabling motion vectors for multi-meshes was handled, only the first instance would have a valid transforms buffer and the rest would point to an invalid buffer. This change moves over the responsibility of enabling motion vectors only when changes happen to the individual 3D transforms or the entire buffer itself. It also fixes an unnecessary download of the existing buffer that'd get overwritten by the current cache if it exists. Another fix is handling the case where the buffer was not set, and enabling motion vectors would not cause the buffer to be recreated correctly.
This is needed to allow 2D to fully make use of 3D effects (e.g. glow), and can be used to substantially improve quality of 2D rendering at the cost of performance
Additionally, the 2D rendering pipeline is done in linear space (we skip linear_to_srgb conversion in 3D tonemapping) so the entire Viewport can be kept linear.
This is necessary for proper HDR screen support in the future.
See Issue #69528. When building with precision=double, the TAA pass would break due to the motion vectors being corrupted. It was apparent the origin of the camera itself was corrupted in the UBO for the previous frame because the camera origin was only being split correctly for the current block but not for the previous block (to effectively support the double precision float on the shader).
Fixes bug where bounding box of 1 unit was used in some skinned models and had wrong LODs.
(this could become very large if the mesh is scaled, such as FBX conversions)
Also fixes a mistake in calcualting bone index.
- Extents are replaced by Size (Size is Extents * 2)
- The UI text displays 'Size'
- Snapping is adjusted to work with Size
- _set and _get handle extents for compatibility

* Only two texture import modes for low/high quality now:
* S3TC/BPTC
* ETC2/ASTC
* Makes sense given this is the general preferred and most compatible combination in most platforms.
* Removed lossy_quality from VRAM texture compression options. It was unused everywhere.
* Added a new "high_quality" option to texture import. When enabled, it uses BPTC/ASTC (BC7/ASTC4x4) instead of S3TC/ETC2 (DXT1-5/ETC2,ETCA).
* Changed MacOS export settings so required texture formats depend on the architecture selected.
This solves the following problems:
* Makes it simpler to import textures as high quality, without having to worry about the specific format used.
* As the editor can now run on platforms such as web, Mac OS with Apple Silicion and Android, it should no longer be assumed that S3TC/BPTC is available by default for it.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Implements basic ASTC support:
* Only 4x4 and 8x8 block sizes.
* Other block sizes are too complex to handle for Godot image compression handling. May be implemented sometime in the future.
The need for ASTC is mostly for the following use cases:
* Implement a high quality compression option for textures on mobile and M1 Apple hardware.
* For this, the 4x4 is sufficient, since it uses the same size as BPTC.
ASTC supports a lot of block sizes, but the benefit of supporting most of them is slim, while the implementation complexity in Godot is very high.
Supporting only 4x4 (and 8x8) solves the real problem, which is lack of a BPTC alternative on hardware where it's missing.
Note: This does not yet support encoding on import, an ASTC encoder will need to be added.
Properly apply custom materials with CanvasGroups in the GLES3 backend
Properly blur backbuffer when using a partial rect in forward_plus and
gl_compatibility renderers
Properly set fit_margin when clear_margin is set
Fix shader error during backbuffer clear in mobile renderer
This uses a similar multipass approach to blend shapes
as Godot 3.x, the major difference here is that we
need to convert the normals and tangents to octahedral
for rendering.
Skeletons work the same as the Vulkan renderer except the bones
are stored in a texture as they were in 3.x.
This includes collision (2D SDF, Box, Sphere, Heightmap),
attraction (Box, Sphere), and all sorting modes.
This does not include 3D SDF collisions, trails, or
manual emission.
The property already has a "seconds" suffix in the inspector.
The "lifetime" term makes it more obvious that the property is
specified as time, not a distance in units.
The property hint now allows manually entering values greater than
10 seconds.
The internal rendering value's default now matches the particles
nodes' default.
This argument is now non optional, but this never hits the same bad access.
I voted to simplify the code here since the argument is never used optionally in our codebase.
Previously, only forward basis distance from the camera was used.
This means that unnecessarily high LOD levels were used for objects located to the side of the camera.
The distance from the camera origin is now used, independently of direction.
