Allows users to override default API usage, in order to get best performance on different platforms.
Also changes the default legacy flags to use STREAM rather than DYNAMIC.
- 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.
Move definition of rendering/quality/filters/anisotropic_filter_level to
servers/visual_server.cpp, since both GLES2 and GLES3 now use it
rasterizer_storage_gles3.cpp: Remove a spurious variable write (the
value gets overwritten soon after)
- Fix Embree runtime when using MinGW (patch by @RandomShaper).
- Fix baking of lightmaps on GridMaps.
- Fix some GLSL errors.
- Fix overflow in the number of shader variants (GLES2).
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)
These were only put in for the betas, in order to test hypotheses for stalling on Macs. It seems that most of the problems in the Mac editor have been solved by fixing the excessive redraw_requests.
As a result no one has reported any results from these options, but in future we will be able to refer users to try the beta versions, so there is no need to include them in the stable release. Indeed they are only likely to cause confusion.
The root cause of the issue is that OpenGL ES 2 does not support the `textureCubeLod` function.
There are (optional) extensions to support this, but they don't appear to be exposed with the ES2 renderer (even though the hardware needed to support LOD features are certainly available.)
The existing shim in `drivers/gles2/shaders/cubemap_filter.glsl` just creates a macro:
```
#define textureCubeLod(img, coord, lod) textureCube(img, coord)
```
But the third parameter of `textureCube` is actually a mip bias, not an absolute mip level.
(And it doesn't seem to work regardless.)
In this specific case, the `cubemap_filter` should only sample from the first level of the "source" panorama cubemap.
In lieu of a method to force a lod level of zero, I've chosen to comment out the switchover from a 2D equirectangular panorama to the cubemap version of the same image, therefore always sampling roughness values from the 2D equirectangular panorama.
This may cause additional artifacts or issues across the seam, but at least it prevents the glaringly obvious black areas.
---
This same issue (no fragment texture LOD support) has rather large repercussions elsewhere too; it means materials with larger cubemap density (i.e. planar or distant objects) will be far rougher than expected.
Since GLES 3 appears to properly support fragment `texture*Lod` functions, switching to the GLES 3 backend would solve this problem.
---
Root cause discovered with help from @KaadmY.
Image::resize_to_po2() now takes an optional p_interpolation parameter
that it passes directly to resize() with default value INTERPOLATE_BILINEAR.
GLES2: call resize_to_po2() with interpolate argument
Call resize_to_po2() in GLES2 rasterizer storage with either
INTERPOLATE_BILINEAR or INTERPOLATE_NEAREST depending on TEXTURE_FLAG_FILTER.
This avoids filtering issues with non power of two pixel art textures.
See #44379
Large FVF allows batching of many custom shaders, but should not join items which have shaders that utilize BUILTINs which would change for each item, because these will not be sent individually, and all joined items would wrongly use the values from the first joined item.
As a result of the GLES specifications being vague about best practice for how buffers should be used dynamically, different GPUs / platforms appear to have different preferences.
Mac in particular seems to have a number of problems in this area, and none of the rendering team uses Macs. So far we have relied on guesswork to choose the best usage, but in an attempt to pin this down, this PR begins to introduce manual selection of options for users to test their configurations.
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.
This is part of effort to make more efficient use of the API for devices with poor drivers. This eliminates multiple calls to glBufferSubData per update.
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.

Fixed checks in export editor.
Fixed pvrtc ability detection in GLES2 driver.
Fixed pvrtc encoding procedure.
1. Removed errors in mesh_surface_get_array as it's supported now
2. More accurate errors in mesh_surface_get_blend_shapes
(cherry picked from commit e19a3df98f)
Using the operator += in a shader is classified as an 'assign', and so is classified as a write rather than a read. This means that we need to prevent vertex baking on either a write or read (i.e. on usage), rather than just on reads.
Writing to COLOR in a custom shader can result in incorrect results if colors are baked (vertex color and modulate). This PR prevents baking with COLOR output, except under the special circumstances that final modulate is (1, 1, 1, 1), in which case the result will be correct. This should still allow color baking in many scenarios with custom shaders.
In situations where custom canvas shaders read VERTEX values, they could read incorrect global positions rather than local positions where batching had baked item transforms. This PR prevents joining items that read VERTEX built in in shaders, and thus prevents this situation arising (as unjoined items will not bake transforms).
It seems that particles (and some other features) do not work correctly on iOS in GLES2 because either many of the devices do not support half float compression, or the GL constant used to reference it from Godot is incorrect.
This PR adds a project setting in rendering/gles2/ to disable half-float compression on iOS.
Adding the ability to access MODULATE in the shader breaks when final_modulate is baked into vertex colors (this is a technique used to batch together different colored items). This PR prevents baking vertex colors when MODULATE is detected in the shader.
It also prevents baking when COLOR is read in canvas shaders, which could currently produce the wrong result in the shader if colors were baked. It does not prevent baking if COLOR is only written, which happens in most shaders, and will operate correctly without baking.
This adds 2 new values (items and draw calls) to the performance monitor in a '2d' section, rather than reusing the 3d values in the 'raster' section.
This makes it far easier to optimize games to minimize drawcalls.
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 changes the code path so that `glRenderBufferStorage*` always uses
values appropriate for renderbuffers and `glTexImage2D` never uses an
internalformat meant for buffers.
Fixes#33825.
When rendering to an external texture and MSAA was active (as happened
in the Oculus Mobile ARVR plugin) no MSAA was rendered as the correct
depth buffer and multisample texture target was not used.
This also fixes https://github.com/GodotVR/godot_oculus_mobile/issues/54
While OpenGL ES 3.0 and WebGL 2.0 both support non power-of-2 (NPOT)
textures in their specification, the situation seems to be less clear
about *compressed* NPOT textures using repeat or mipmap flags.
At least Chrome on Linux doesn't seem to support this combination,
and a variety of mobile hardware have similar limitations.
As a workaround, we force decompressing such textures when running on
WebGL 2.0, at the cost of loading time and memory usage.
Fixes#33058.
Although the backup USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE skinning path is currently used when float texture is not supported, the default skinning path still fails when float texture is supported but GL_MAX_VERTEX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS is 0, i.e. the device cannot read from texture during vertex shader. This PR adds the logic to activate the SKELETON_SOFTWARE path if either of these cases occur, preventing crashes on devices which have this combination of features.
Condensed some if and ERR statements. Added dots to end of error messages
Couldn't figure out EXPLAINC. These files gave me trouble: core/error_macros.h, core/io/file_access_buffered_fa.h (where is it?),
core/os/memory.cpp,
drivers/png/png_driver_common.cpp,
drivers/xaudio2/audio_driver_xaudio2.cpp (where is it?)
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)
Non-tools OpenGLES2 devices that use the USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE path (i.e. do not support float texture) depend on surface->data being set containing the bone IDs and weights (rasterizer_scene_gles2.cpp, line 1456, RasterizerSceneGLES2::_setup_geometry). However currently if TOOLS_ENABLED is not defined, surface->data is not stored in main memory in rasterizer_storage_gles2.cpp. This causes a crash in rasterizer_scene_gles2.cpp when a rigged object comes into view.
This fix addresses the specific case of skinned objects when USE_SKELETON_SOFTWARE is active, and stores a copy of the bone data, as is done when TOOLS_ENABLED is defined. This fixes the crash by allowing the same mechanism as on desktop, without adding the memory overhead of storing all vertex data where not required.
Fixes#28298
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.
