This allows us to specify a subset of variants to compile at load time and conditionally other variants later.
This works seamlessly with shader caching.
Needed to ensure that users only pay the cost for variants they use
* This should optimize GDScript function calling _enormously_.
* It also should simplify the GDScript VM considerably.
NOTE: GDExtension calling performance has most likely been affected until going via ptrcall is fixed.
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".
Adds a FramebufferCache singletion that operates the same way as UniformSetCache.
Allows creating framebuffers on the fly (and keep them cached if re-requested) such as:
```C++
RID fb = FramebufferCache::get_singleton()->get_cache(texture1,texture2);
```
This method can be used to get the graphics API version currently in
use (such as Vulkan). It can be used by projects for troubleshooting
or statistical purposes.
This commit removes a lot of enum values related to the color render pass in favor of a new flag-bases approach. This means instead of hard-coding all the possible option combinations into enums, we can write our logic by checking a bit-mask.
The changes in rendering_device_vulkan.cpp add support for unused attachments. That means RenderingDeviceVulkan::framebuffer_create() can take null RIDs in the attachments vector, which will result in VK_ATTACHMENT_UNUSED entries in the render pass.
This is used in this same PR to establish fixed locations for the color pass attachments (only color and separate specular so far, but TAA will add motion vectors as well). This way the attachment locations in the shader can stay the same regardless of which attachments are actually used.
Right now all the combinations of flags are generated, but we will need to add a way to limit the amount of combinations in the future.
* Changed syntax usage for RD::Uniform to create faster with a single RID
* Converted render pass setup to use this in clustered renderer to test.
This is the first step into creating a proper uniform set cache system to simplify large parts of the codebase.
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 can be used to distinguish between integrated, dedicated, virtual
and software-emulated GPUs. This in turn can be used to automatically
adjust graphics settings, or warn users about features that may run
slowly on their hardware.
