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".
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.
Clean up and do fixes to hash functions and newly introduced murmur3 hashes in #61934
* Clean up usage of murmur3
* Fixed usages of binary murmur3 on floats (this is invalid)
* Changed DJB2 to use xor (which seems to be better)
* Changed to use the same stages as extensions.
* Makes the initialization more coherent, helping solve problems due to lack of stages.
* Makes it easier to port between module and extension.
* removed the DRIVER initialization level (no longer needed).
* 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.
Previous algorithm used an algorithm to generate rays that was not completely
random. This caused artifacts when large lighmap textures were used.
The new algorithm creates better rays and by that prevents artifacts.
Sets `AlignOperands` to `DontAlign`.
`clang-format` developers seem to mostly care about space-based indentation and
every other version of clang-format breaks the bad mismatch of tabs and spaces
that it seems to use for operand alignment. So it's better without, so that it
respects our two-tabs `ContinuationIndentWidth`.
Dilate fills gaps that are caused by the rasterization. As dilate is based on
the alpha-channel which is not part of denoise, dilate can be run after denoise
as well. So that colors are not denoised/mixed over seams.
Dilate fills gaps that are caused by the rasterization. Previously denoise
was done before dilate which caused the gaps to become filled (non-zero). This
resulted that the gaps were not recognized by
dilate and the background color leaked.
This is fixed by executing dilate before denoise.
Currently the method ray_hits_triangle determines triangles not to be hit by
a ray due to an epsilon that is too big. In practice those triangles are hit by
those rays.
This is fixed by introducing a smaller epsilon.
In case the calculation of the delta contained infinity values (division by
zero), than later the calculation of the next cell failed as the infinity value
was multiplied by zero which resulted in a nan. The nan-value caused that the
next cell was equal to the current cell which resulted in an end-less loop,
which only terminates by the maximum iterations protection.
This is solved by replacing infinity with grid_size which acts as infinity.
Before this change only rays to the sky (RAY_MISS) in the first bounce were
processed as active rays. This caused artifacts, areas were too light, when
more than one bounce were processed.
Now rays to the sky are processed as active rays for all bounces.
Smoothening positions for flat, non-smoothened, triangles is unnecessary and
caused positions to move outside their triangle which caused side-effects as
rays from those positions intersected with triangles which could not be
reached from the original triangle.
This is solved by skipping smoothening of positions for flat triangles.
A triangle is determined to be flas as its vertex normals are equal.
Edges that are at the edge of a plane, may get behind the scene and will hit
back-face triangles which where included in the lighting calculations. This
caused leaking of light at the edge of planes.
In case a ray hits back-face triangle, it is skipped in the bounce calculations.
Previously the bounding boxes and triangles were maintained in two separate
arrays (Vectors). As the triangle vector was sorted and the bounding-box array
was not , the order of both arrays differed. This meant that the index in one
was different than the other, which caused lookup issues.
To prevent this, the bounding-box is now part of the triangle structure so that
there is a single structure that cannot become out-of-sync anymore.
* Added an extra stage before compiling shader, which is generating a binary blob.
* On Vulkan, this allows caching the SPIRV reflection information, which is expensive to parse.
* On other (future) RenderingDevices, it allows caching converted binary data, such as DXIL or MSL.
This PR makes the shader cache include the reflection information, hence editor startup times are significantly improved.
I tested this well and it appears to work, and I added a lot of consistency checks, but because it includes writing and reading binary information, rare bugs may pop up, so be aware.
There was not much of a choice for storing the reflection information, given shaders can be a lot, take a lot of space and take time to parse.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
Various fixes to UV2 unwrapping and the GPU lightmapper. Listed here for
context in case of git blame/bisect:
* Fix UV2 unwrapping on import, also cleaned up the unwrap cache code.
* Fix saving of RGBA images in EXR format.
* Fixes to the GPU lightmapper:
- Added padding between atlas elements, avoids bleeding.
- Remove old SDF generation code.
- Fix baked attenuation for Omni/Spot lights.
- Fix baking of material properties onto UV2 (wireframe was
wrongly used before).
- Disable statically baked lights for objects that have a
lightmap texture to avoid applying the same light twice.
- Fix lightmap pairing in RendererSceneCull.
- Fix UV2 array generated from `RenderingServer::mesh_surface_get_arrays()`.
- Port autoexposure fix for OIDN from 3.x.
- Save debug textures as EXR when using floating point format.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
-Used a more consistent set of keywords for the shader
-Remove all harcoded entry points
-Re-wrote the GLSL shader parser, new system is more flexible. Allows any entry point organization.
-Entry point for sky shaders is now sky().
-Entry point for particle shaders is now process().
-Advanced Settings toggle also hides advanced properties when disabled
-Simplified Advanced Bar (errors were just plain redundant)
-Reorganized rendering quality settings.
-Reorganized miscelaneous settings for clean up.
Inverted the spotlight angle attenuation so a higher value results in
a dimmer light, this makes it more consistent with the distance
attenuation.
Also changed the way spotlighs are computed in SDFGI
and GIPorbes and GPU lightmapper, now it matches the falloff used in the scene rendering
code.
-Removed sync to draw, now everything syncs to draw by default.
-Fixed many validation layer errors.
-Added support for VkImageViewUsageCreateInfo to fix validation layer warnings.
-Texture, buffer, raster and compute functions now all allow spcifying which barriers will be used.
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 🎆
