All my earlier test cases for software skinning had the polys parent transform to be identity. This works fine until you had cases where the user had moved the transform of the parent nodes of skinned polys.
This PR fixes this situation by taking into account the final (concatenated) transform of the polys RELATIVE to the skeleton base transform. It does this by applying the inverse skeleton base transform to the poly final transform.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
Backport of #48239.
When users create an invalid shader, the shader->valid flag is set to false. Batching previously assumes that shaders are valid, and this can result in primitives with invalid shader being joined, causing visual errors.
This PR prevents joining items that have invalid shaders.
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.
In rare cases default batches could occur which were containing commands that were not owned by the first item referenced by the joined item. This had assumed to be the case, and would read the wrong command, or crash.
Instead for safety in this PR we now store a pointer to the parent item in default batches, and use this to determine the correct command list instead of assuming.
Trying to use the old `hardware_transform` flag to combine the new large_fvf has lead to several bugs. So here the logic is broken out into 2 separate components, single item and large_fvf.
The old `hardware_transform` name also no longer makes sense, as there are now 3 transform paths:
Software (CPU)
Hardware (uniform)
Hardware (attribute)
- 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.
As part of the improvements to batch more cases, batching can store final_modulate as an attribute in the vertex format rather than sending as a uniform. This allows draw calls with different final_modulate to be batched together.
However custom shader code was reading from only the final_modulate uniform, and not the attribute when it was in use. This was leading to visual errors.
This is tricky to solve, because we cannot use the same name for the attribute in the vertex and fragment shaders, because one is an attribute and one a varying, whereas a uniform is accessible anywhere. To get around this, a macro is used which can translate to the most appropriate variable depending on whether uniform or attribute or varying is required.
GLES3 changes:
This commit makes it possible to disable 3D directional lights by using
the light's cull mask. It also automatically disables directionals when
the object has baked lighting and the light is set to "bake all".
GLES2 changes:
Added a check for the light cull mask, since it was previously ignored.
One of the new fvf types (FVF_MODULATED) allows batching custom shaders that use modulate. The only slight oversight is that there is a special define when MODULATE is used in a custom shader, called MODULATE_USED, that is checked, and if set it does NOT apply final_modulate as part of canvas.glsl.
This MODULATE_USED define wasn't checked when the new FVF was used and modulate was passed in an attribute.
This PR moves the application of the final_modulate into the #ifndef MODULATE_USED section.
The rendering/quality/2d section of project settings is becoming considerably expanded in 3.2.4, and arguably was not the correct place for settings that were not really to do with quality.
3.2.4 is the last sensible opportunity we will have to move these settings, as the only existing one likely to break compatibility in a small way is `pixel_snap`, and given that the whole snapping area is being overhauled we can draw attention to the fact it has changed in the release notes.
Class reference is also updated and slightly improved.
`pixel_snap` is renamed to `gpu_pixel_snap` in the project settings and code to help differentiate from CPU side transform snapping.
Due to multi pass approach to lighting in GLES2, in some situations the rendered result can look different if lights are presented in a different order.
The order (aside from directional lights) seems to be simply copied from the culling routine (octree or bvh) which is essentially arbitrary. While octree is usually consistent with order, bvh uses a trickle optimize which may result in lights occurring in different order from frame to frame.
This PR adds an extra layer of sorting on GLES2 lights in order to get some kind of order consistency.
This suppresses the blocky shadow appearance, bringing the shadow rendering
much closer to GLES3. This soft filter is more demanding as it requires
more lookups, but it makes PCF13 shadows more usable.
The soft PCF filter was adapted from three.js.
Valgrind reported two instances of reading uninitialized memory in the batching. They are both pretty benign (as evidenced by no bug reports) but wise to close these.
The first is that when changing batch from a default batch it reads the batch color which is not set (as it is not relevant for default batches). The segment of code is not necessary when it has already deemed a batch change necessary (which will occur from a default batch). In addition this means that the count of color changes will be more accurate, rather than having a possible random value in.
The second is that on initialization _set_texture_rect_mode is called before the state has been properly initialized (it is initialized at the beginning of each canvas_begin, but this occurs outside of that).
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.
