- Enable Read Sky Light to get proper outdoors lighting out of the box.
- Set bounce feedback to 0.5 by default to get a better quality result.
- Higher values may cause infinite feedback with bright surfaces.
- Increase the number of frames to converge to improve quality
at the cost of latency. Most scenes are fairly static after all.
- Use 75% Y scale by default as most scenes are not highly vertical.
- Reorder the Y scale enum to go from the lowest Y scale to the highest.
Also rename the "Disabled" setting to "100%" for clarity.
This makes sure that assigning values to enum-typed variables are
consistent. Same enum is always valid, different enum is always
invalid (without casting) and assigning `int` creates a warning
if there is no casting.
There are new test cases to ensure this behavior doesn't break in
the future.
The new default project theme uses StyleBoxFlat extensively for
a more modern design and better scalability to multiple resolutions.
SVG icons are now used in place of PNG icons. While this does not
allow for true vector-based icon drawing (icons are still rasterized
at load-time), this makes the design work easier for contributors
and opens the door to vector drawing in the future (e.g. with polygons
or SDFs).
Like for editor icons, the SVG header file is now built automatically
when a SVG file is changed. This removing the need for running
`make_header.py` manually (TODO).
The "Use Hidpi" project setting has been removed in favor of a
"Default Theme Scale" project setting, which allows creating the
default theme at a higher/lower scale than the default.
This can be used when designing GUIs with a high base resolution
to ensure crisp visuals.

On the only platform where PVRTC is supported (iOS),
ETC2 generally supersedes PVRTC in every possible way. The increased
memory usage is not really a problem thanks to modern iOS' devices
processing power being higher than its Android counterparts.
This fixes window management issues across platforms on hiDPI monitors.
The `--low-dpi` command line argument has been removed as similar
functionality (forcing low-DPI mode on DPI-aware programs) is
already provided by Windows and macOS itself.
Helps with discovery and setup of physics solver settings, in a specific
project settings section for both 2D and 3D.
Other changes for cleanup:
-Removed unused space parameters in 3D
SPACE_PARAM_BODY_ANGULAR_VELOCITY_DAMP_RATIO
SPACE_PARAM_CONSTRAINT_DEFAULT_BIAS
-Added custom solver bias for Shape3D (same as Shape2D)
-Improved documentation for solver settings
In scenes that have little to no overdraw, disabling the depth prepass
can give a small performance boost. Nonetheless, in most other scenarios,
the depth prepass should be left enabled as it improves performance
significantly.
Settings that aren't within a subsection are difficult to reach when
other settings do have a subsection.
This also adds documentation for the project setting.
On a GeForce GTX 1080 in 2002×1447 resolution, decreasing VoxelGI quality
from High to Low quality saves 1.2 ms of GPU time in a medium-sized
test scene. This only results in a minor drop in quality.
Only Vulkan is fully implemented for now, so OpenGL isn't available
in the project manager yet.
This also makes the rendering driver checks use lowercase names
everywhere for consistency.
- Rename OpenGL to GLES3 in the source code per community feedback.
- The renderer is still exposed as "OpenGL 3" to the user.
- Hide renderer selection dropdown until OpenGL support is more mature.
- The renderer can still be changed in the Project Settings or using
the `--rendering-driver opengl` command line argument.
- Remove commented out exporter code.
- Remove some OpenGL/DisplayServer-related debugging prints.
Soft shadows are relatively expensive to filter. However, with the
default blur factors, it's not needed to use too many samples
(unless PCSS-like shadows are used with a large size). Textures
and screen-space antialiasing can also be used to mask the noise
pattern effectively.
On a GeForce GTX 1080, going from Medium to Low for both shadow types
saves 0.2-0.4 ms of GPU time per frame in 2560×1440 resolution.
This can translate to significantly higher savings on lower-end GPUs.
Given how the shader works, this improves rendering performance
even if lights with shadows are never used.
This can be used to improve 3D shadow rendering quality at little
performance cost. Unlike the existing Hard setting which is limited
to variable shadow blur only, it works with both fixed blur and
variable blur.
