2022-08-31Implement Physical Light Units as an optional setting.clayjohn
This allows light sources to be specified in physical light units in addition to the regular energy multiplier. In order to avoid loss of precision at high values, brightness values are premultiplied by an exposure normalization value. In support of Physical Light Units this PR also renames CameraEffects to CameraAttributes.
2022-08-30Add a per-light volumetric fog energy propertyHugo Locurcio
Per-light energy gives more control to the user on the final result of volumetric fog. Specific lights can be fully excluded from volumetric fog by setting their volumetric fog energy to 0, which improves performance slightly. This can also be used to prevent short-lived dynamic effects from poorly interacting with volumetric fog, as it's updated over several frames by default unless temporal reprojection is disabled. Volumetric fog shadows now obey Light3D's Shadow Opacity property as well. The shadow fog fade property was removed as it had little visible impact on the final scene's rendering.

2022-08-07Add a shadow opacity property to Light3DHugo Locurcio
This can be used to make shadows translucent for a specific light. The light distance fade system also uses this to smoothly fade the shadow when the light fade transition distance is greater than 0.

2022-05-12Add a new HashMap implementationreduz
Adds a new, cleaned up, HashMap implementation. * Uses Robin Hood Hashing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table#Robin_Hood_hashing). * Keeps elements in a double linked list for simpler, ordered, iteration. * Allows keeping iterators for later use in removal (Unlike Map<>, it does not do much for performance vs keeping the key, but helps replace old code). * Uses a more modern C++ iterator API, deprecates the old one. * Supports custom allocator (in case there is a wish to use a paged one). This class aims to unify all the associative template usage and replace it by this one: * Map<> (whereas key order does not matter, which is 99% of cases) * HashMap<> * OrderedHashMap<> * OAHashMap<>
2022-03-04Remove unused `shadow_color` property from Light3DHugo Locurcio
This shadow color property was no longer effective since the shaders were optimized to improve occupancy.
2022-02-25Implement distance fade properties in OmniLight3D and SpotLight3DHugo Locurcio
This can be used to fade lights and their shadows in the distance, similar to Decal nodes. This can bring significant performance improvements, especially for lights with shadows enabled and when using higher-than-default shadow quality settings. While lights can be smoothly faded out over distance, shadows are currently "all or nothing" since per-light shadow color is no longer customizable in the Vulkan renderer. This may result in noticeable pop-in when leaving the shadow cutoff distance, but depending on the scene, it may not always be that noticeable.
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.
2021-12-14Rename and reorder bake mode properties for consistencyHugo Locurcio
The order now goes from least to most computationally expensive: - Disabled - Static - Dynamic

2021-10-14Fix several issues with directional shadowsBrian Semrau
- Internally disable blend splits in orthogonal directional shadow mode - Fix soft shadows ignoring fade and blend_splits - Fix soft shadow edge stability
2021-08-30Use the Light3D Indirect Energy property in SDFGIHugo Locurcio
The Indirect Energy property was previously ignored in SDFGI (unlike VoxelGI).
2021-08-19Improvements to SpotLight3D and OmniLight3D's shadowsjfons
OmniLight3D: * Fixed lack of precision in cube map mode by scaling the projection's znear. * Fixed aliasing issues by making the paraboloids use two square regions instead of two half squares. * Fixed shadowmap atlas bleeding by adding padding. * Fixed sihadow blur's inconsistent radius and unclamped sampling. SpotLight3D: * Fixed lack of precision by scaling the projection's znear. * Fixed normal biasing. Both: * Tweaked biasing to make sure it works out of the box in most situations.
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.

2021-06-05Rename GI Classesreduz
* GIProbe is now VoxelGI * BakedLightmap is now LightmapGI As godot adds more ways to provide GI (as an example, SDFGI in 4.0), the different techniques (which have different pros/cons) need to be properly named to avoid confusion.

2020-07-01Environment: Refactor code for readability + moreRémi Verschelde
- Makes all boolean setters/getters consistent. - Fixes bug where `glow_hdr_bleed_scale` was not used. - Split CameraEffects to their own source file. - Reorder all Environment method and properties declarations, definitions and bindings to be consistent with each other and with the order of property bindings. - Bind missing enum values added with SDFGI. - Remove unused SDFGI enhance_ssr boolean. - Sync doc changes after SDFGI merge and other misc changes.
