Ensure `ensure_tangents` option actually creates tangent array. Even if it is just a dummy array.
Allow mesh to generate its own tangents when using compression. This allows users to compress meshes without tangents.
Warn users if they are trying to read from tangents without providing tangents.
This is a longstanding issue in both the Mobile and GL Compatibility renderer.
Meshes pair with all lights that touch them, and then at draw time, we send all paired lights indices to the shader (even if that light isn't visible). The problem is that non-visible lights aren't uploaded to the GPU and don't have an index. So we end up using a bogus index
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.
This also fixes RENDERING_INFO_TOTAL_PRIMITIVES_IN_FRAME for the RD renderers as it was incorrectly reporting vertex/index count at times
This also adds memory tracking to textures and buffers to catch memory leaks.
This also cleans up some memory leaks that the new system caught.
This commit ensures a known backface culling state when rendering, even
if no depth prepass is used. This fixes backside culling not being
applied properly in some situations, most notably in scenes that only
use backside culling on mobile platforms.
Normally dependencies are only set dirty when changed during culling, but that misses changes that happen in the renderer (like a new shader being set in a material)
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".
