2022-08-04Rename shader parameter uniform setter/getter methods for consistencyHugo Locurcio
`shader_uniform` is now consistenly used across both per-shader and per-instance shader uniform methods. This makes methods easier to find in the class reference when looking for them.
2022-03-15Create GDExtension clases for PhysicsServer3Dreduz
* Allows creating a GDExtension based 3D Physics Server (for Bullet, PhysX, etc. support) * Some changes on native struct binding for PhysicsServer This allows a 3D Physics server created entirely from GDExtension. Once it works, the idea is to port the 2D one to it.
2022-02-15Add an XML schema for documentationHugo Locurcio
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation can still work offline. Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.

2022-01-05Added material_overlay property to MeshInstance3DFernando Cosentino
Applying overlay materials into multi-surface meshes currently requires adding a next pass material to all the surfaces, which might be cumbersome when the material is to be applied to a range of different geometries. This also makes it not trivial to use AnimationPlayer to control the material in case of visual effects. The material_override property is not an option as it works replacing the active material for the surfaces, not adding a new pass. This commit adds the material_overlay property to GeometryInstance3D (and therefore MeshInstance3D), having the same reach as material_override (that is, all surfaces) but adding a new material pass on top of the active materials, instead of replacing them.
2021-12-14Rename and reorder bake mode properties for consistencyHugo Locurcio
The order now goes from least to most computationally expensive: - Disabled - Static - Dynamic
2021-11-26Emit node configuration warnings for GeometryInstance3D distance fadeHugo Locurcio
The visibility range begin/end margin properties must be set above 0.0 for the fade transition to be visible.

2021-10-25Implement distance fade and transparencyJFonS
The built-in ALPHA in spatial shaders comes pre-set with a per-instance transparency value. Multiply by it if you want to keep it. The transparency value of any given GeometryInstance3D is affected by: - Its new "transparency" property. - Its own visiblity range when the new "visibility_range_fade_mode" property is set to "Self". - Its parent visibility range when the parent's fade mode is set to "Dependencies". The "Self" mode will fade-out the instance when reaching the visibility range limits, while the "Dependencies" mode will fade-in its dependencies. Per-instance transparency is only implemented in the forward clustered renderer, support for mobile should be added in the future. Co-authored-by: reduz <reduzio@gmail.com>
2021-07-30doc: Use self-closing tags for `return` and `argument`Rémi Verschelde
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring having all details in the method's description. Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
2021-06-14Implement visibility range and dependencies.jfons
This commit adds the following properties to GeometryInstance3D: `visibility_range_begin`, `visibility_range_begin_margin`, `visibility_range_end`, `visibility_range_end_margin`. Together they define a range in which the GeometryInstance3D will be visible from the camera, taking hysteresis into account for state changes. A begin or end value of 0 will be ignored, so the visibility range can be open-ended in both directions. This commit also adds the `visibility_parent` property to 'Node3D'. Which defines the visibility parents of the node and its subtree (until another parent is defined). Visual instances with a visibility parent will only be visible when the parent, and all of its ancestors recursively, are hidden because they are closer to the camera than their respective `visibility_range_begin` thresholds. Combining visibility ranges and visibility parents users can set-up a quick HLOD system that shows high detail meshes when close (i.e buildings, trees) and merged low detail meshes for far away groups (i.e. cities, woods).
2021-04-23Implement occlusion cullingjfons
Added an occlusion culling system with support for static occluder meshes. It can be enabled via `Project Settings > Rendering > Occlusion Culling > Use Occlusion Culling`. Occluders are defined via the new `Occluder3D` resource and instanced using the new `OccluderInstance3D` node. The occluders can also be automatically baked from a scene using the built-in editor plugin.
