This prevents the pitfall of UB when checking if they have been
assigned something valid by comparing to nullptr.

16-bit shadow atlases are already the default in the project settings,
but low-level methods used 24-bit shadows by default.
This makes low-level methods more consistent with the default project
settings to avoid accidental performance issues when users change
the shadow size at run-time.
|

|

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).

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.

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!

This makes it more obvious that the setting only affects mesh LOD,
not manual (H)LOD achieved using visibility ranges.

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.

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.

* 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.
|
|
* Keep track of when projector, softshadow or directional sofshadow were enabled.
* Enable them via specializaton constant where it makes sense.
* Re-implements soft shadows.
* Re-implements light projectors.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.

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.

-Rendering server now uses a split RID allocate/initialize internally, this allows generating RIDs immediately but initialization to happen later on the proper thread (as rendering APIs generally requiere to call on the right thread).
-RenderingServerWrapMT is no more, multithreading is done in RenderingServerDefault.
-Some functions like texture or mesh creation, when renderer supports it, can register and return immediately (so no waiting for server API to flush, and saving staging and command buffer memory).
-3D physics server changed to be made multithread friendly.
-Added PhysicsServer3DWrapMT to use 3D physics server from multiple threads.
-Disablet Bullet (too much effort to make multithread friendly, this needs to be fixed eventually).

-Use occlusion for feedback, further reduces light leaking.
-More control on feedback, now its a slider.
|
|
-Always use temporal reproject, it just loos way better than any other filter.
-By always using termporal reproject, the shadowmap reduction can be done away with, massively improving performance.
-Disadvantage of temporal reproject is update latency so..
-Made sure a gaussian filter runs in XY after fog, this allows to keep stability and lower latency.
|
|
-It's an option, just enable it
-Just works, don't have to do anything else.
|
|
-Added more finegrained control in RenderingDevice API
-Optimized barriers (use less ones for thee same)
-General optimizations
-Shadows render all together unbarriered
-GI can render together with shadows.
-SDFGI can render together with depth-preoass.
-General fixes
-Added GPU detection
|
|
-All shadow rendering is done with raster now (no compute)
-All shadow rendering is done by rendering directly to the shadow atlas
-Improved how buffer clearing is done to optimize the above.
-Ability to set shadows as 16 bits.
|
|
-SDFGI direct light is done over many frames
-SDFGI Changed settings for rays/frame
-SDFGI Misc optimizations
-SDFGI Bug fix on probe scroll
-GIProbe was not working, got it to work again
-GIProbe dynamic objects were not working, fixed
-Added a half size GI option.
|

So it can hopefully be made more cache efficient afterwards.

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆

|
-Uses a single array with all data
-Massive performance improvement
-Does not support threads yet, but code is now thread friendly
|
|
|
|
-Much greater pairing/unpairing performance
-For now, using it for culling too, but this will change in a couple of days.
-Added a paged allocator, to efficiently alloc/free some types of objects.
|
|
|
|
-Happens on import by default for all models
-Just works (tm)
-Biasing can be later adjusted per node or per viewport (as well as globally)
-Disabled AABB.get_support test because its broken
|
|
Uses compute shaders, which only once, on demand, and all in parallel.
|
|
-Reduce number of uniform sets from 6 to 4.
-Remove features in low end mode, in order to reduce the number of texture units fit to 16.
