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.
This reduces the size of the editor binaries significantly, as we otherwise
embed all WIP translations, including ones with very low completion ratios,
and end up paying for the size of all `msgid`s for each locale.
Cf. https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3421 for details.
The thresholds used are:
- 30% for the editor interface (should already include most common strings
while more obscure ones like UndoRedo action names might be untranslated).
- 10% for the class reference: this is a HUGE resource and 10% is already
a lot of useful content, especially if focused on the most used APIs.
This currently reduces the size of the editor binary by 17% on Linux.
The list will be synced manually every now and then.
(cherry picked from commit 8425c58991)
* New track type BLEND_SHAPE
* Blend shapes are imported via this new track type
* Processing is more optimized (no longer relies on variants)
* Modified the Blend Shape API in MeshInstance3D to use indices rather than StringNames (more optimizes)
* Promo: Fixed a small bug in gizmo updating in Node3D that affected performance
Dedicated BlendShape tracks are required for both optimization and eventually implementing them in animation compression.
* New plugin system to control the whole import workflow
* Can add options and run code at every import step (general, per node, mesh, animation, material etc.)
This constitutes a first version of these plugins. The ability to interact with the import preview dialog will likely be added later on.
We've had many issues with WebM support and specifically the libvpx library
over the years, mostly due to its poor integration in Godot's buildsystem,
but without anyone really interested in improving this state.
With the new GDExtensions in Godot 4.0, we intend to move video decoding to
first-party extensions, and this would likely be done using something like
libvlc to expose more codecs.
Removing the `webm` module means we can remove libsimplewebm, libvpx and
opus, which we were only used for that purpose. Both libvpx and opus were
fairly complex pieces of the buildsystem, so this is a nice cleanup.
This also removes the compile-time dependency on `yasm`.
Fixes lots of compilation or non-working WebM issues which will be linked
in the PR.
Fix some typoed names from the doc
Add _index to "index" parameters of *_shape_* signals, this is both in doc and in the template. This makes the code, signature and doc easier to understand
Add method to get Node from the _index params of those signals. This was not as easy to find as one would expect. Putting this information where it is needed will help.
