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)
This fixes numerous false positives coming out of the culling system.
AABB checks are now a full separating-axis check against the frustum, with the points of the frustum being compared to the planes of the box just as the points of the box were being compared to the planes of the frustum. This fixes large objects behind the camera not being culled correctly.
Some systems that used frustums that were (sometimes mistakenly?) unbounded on one or more side have been modified to be fully enclosed.
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.
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?)
By combining all scalar factors we can get rid of a scalar * vector
multiplication and a square root operation, since the resulting formula
only uses the squared length.
Can be used via scripting as `Geometry.triangulate_delaunay_2d(points)`
The interface is the same as in `Triangulate` library, returning indices
into triangulated points.
Clipper 6.4.2 is used internally to perform polypaths clipping, as well
as inflating/deflating polypaths. The following methods were added:
```
Geometry.merge_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # union
Geometry.clip_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # difference
Geometry.intersect_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # intersection
Geometry.exclude_polygons_2d(poly_a, poly_b) # xor
Geometry.clip_polyline_with_polygon_2d(poly_a, poly_b)
Geometry.intersect_polyline_with_polygon_2d(poly_a, poly_b)
Geometry.offset_polygon_2d(polygon, delta) # inflate/deflate
Geometry.offset_polyline_2d(polyline, delta) # returns polygons
// This one helps to implement CSG-like behaviour:
Geometry.transform_points_2d(points, transform)
```
All the methods return an array of polygons/polylines. The resulting
polygons could possibly be holes which could be checked with
`Geometry.is_polygon_clockwise()` which was exposed to scripting as well.
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 makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
I can show you the code
Pretty, with proper whitespace
Tell me, coder, now when did
You last write readable code?
I can open your eyes
Make you see your bad indent
Force you to respect the style
The core devs agreed upon
A whole new world
A new fantastic code format
A de facto standard
With some sugar
Enforced with clang-format
A whole new world
A dazzling style we all dreamed of
And when we read it through
It's crystal clear
That now we're in a whole new world of code
That year should bring the long-awaited OpenGL ES 3.0 compatible renderer
with state-of-the-art rendering techniques tuned to work as low as middle
end handheld devices - without compromising with the possibilities given
for higher end desktop games of course. Great times ahead for the Godot
community and the gamers that will play our games!
-Added Navigation & NavigationPolygon nodes
-Added corresponding visual editor
-New pathfinding algorithm is modern and fast!
-Similar API to 3D Pathfinding (more coherent)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Build System:
-Big clean up of SCons, changed how builds are done to a much cleaner method (check the Github Wiki for instructions).
-Deactivated BlackBerry10 (sorry), if no mantainer found (or BlackBerry does not send us a Passort ;), platform will be removed as we have no longer devices to test.
Engine:
-Removed deprecated object and scene format (was in there just for compatibility, not in use since a long time).
-Added ability to open scenes even if a node type was removed (will try to guess the closest type).
-Removed deprecated node types.
