2022-03-17Replace DirectionalLight3D's `use_in_sky_only` with `sky_mode` enumHugo Locurcio
3 options are available: - Light and Sky (default) - Light Only (new) - Sky Only (equivalent to `use_in_sky_only = true`) Co-authored by: clayjohn <claynjohn@gmail.com>

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.

2022-02-06Tweak default SDFGI settings for better qualityHugo Locurcio
- 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 reverts commit fcc9f5ce396ff921ed8253f657a8c9c38e7a878d. The feature is good but the implementation still needs more work. A new PR will be made with a rework of this commit.

Also make sure to always convert multiline dictionaries to a single line for its EditorHelp representation, as multiline values break formatting.
2022-01-17Allow using between 1 and 8 cascades for SDFGIHugo Locurcio
This provides more flexibility between performance and quality adjustments, especially when using SDFGI for small-scale levels (which can be useful for procedurally generated scenes).
2022-01-14Remove support for PVRTC texture encoding and decodingHugo Locurcio
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.

2022-01-06Expose RenderingServer SSIL quality setter methodsHugo Locurcio
This allows changing SSIL quality at run-time in a project.
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.

2021-12-29Rename Lod Threshold to Mesh Lod ThresholdHugo Locurcio
This makes it more obvious that the setting only affects mesh LOD, not manual (H)LOD achieved using visibility ranges.

This is required for projects to be able to change the GI half-resolution setting at run-time.
2021-12-14Rename and reorder bake mode properties for consistencyHugo Locurcio
The order now goes from least to most computationally expensive: - Disabled - Static - Dynamic
2021-12-10Add `RenderingServer.get_video_adapter_type()` methodHugo Locurcio
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.

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>
2021-10-21Add Soft Very Low shadow quality mode for 3DHugo Locurcio
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.
2021-10-08Allow any floating-point value as a 3D rendering scale optionHugo Locurcio
This allows for finer control over 3D rendering resolution. Supersampling can also be performed by setting a 3D rendering resolution above 1.0, which is useful for offline rendering or for very high-end GPUs.
2021-10-07Remove unimplemented `Environment.ambient_light_occlusion_color` propertyHugo Locurcio
This property was intended to provide a way to have SSAO or VoxelGI ambient occlusion with a color other than black. However, it was dropped during the Vulkan renderer development due to the performance overhead it caused when the feature wasn't used.

2021-08-25Remove 16× MSAA support due to driver bugs and low performanceHugo Locurcio
In the `master` branch, 16× MSAA caused the entire system to freeze on NVIDIA GPUs. This is likely caused by graphics drivers not actually implementing 16× MSAA, but combining 8× MSAA with 2× SSAA instead. On top of that, modern shader complexity makes 16× MSAA very difficult to use while keeping a good framerate. 8× MSAA is hard enough to use as it is.
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.
2021-07-19Implement more rendering options as specialization constantsreduz
* Shadow quality settings now specialization constant. * Decal and light projector filters can be set. * Changing those settings forces re-creation of the pipelines. These changes should help improve performance related to shadow mapping, and allows improving performance by sacrificing decal and light projector quality.
2021-07-03Fix Render Inforeduz
* Fixed and redone the process to obtain render information from a viewport * Some stats, such as material changes are too difficult to guess on Vulkan, were removed. * Separated visible and shadow stats, which causes confusion. * Texture, buffer and general video memory can be queried now. * Fixed the performance metrics too.
