* Renames for 2D and 3D
* Class name was confusing, given both 2D and 3D have a "visible" property that is unrelated to actual on-screen visibility.
* New name makes it clear that this is about visibility on screen.
* This is the 3D counterpart to #49632
* Implemented a bit different as 3D works using instancing
After merged, both 2D and 3D classes will most likely be renamed in a separate PR to DisplayNotifier2D/3D.
Renames get_parent_spatial() to get_parent_node3d() and changes its
implementation. Before it was not returning a correct pointer if the
node wasn't added to a SceneTree. Now it uses the same implementation as
CanvasItem, which will be correct even for nodes outside a SceneTree.
This commit adds the following properties to GeometryInstance3D: `visibility_range_begin`,
`visibility_range_begin_margin`, `visibility_range_end`, `visibility_range_end_margin`.
Together they define a range in which the GeometryInstance3D will be visible from the camera,
taking hysteresis into account for state changes. A begin or end value of 0 will be ignored,
so the visibility range can be open-ended in both directions.
This commit also adds the `visibility_parent` property to 'Node3D'.
Which defines the visibility parents of the node and its subtree (until
another parent is defined).
Visual instances with a visibility parent will only be visible when the parent, and all of its
ancestors recursively, are hidden because they are closer to the camera than their respective
`visibility_range_begin` thresholds.
Combining visibility ranges and visibility parents users can set-up a quick HLOD system
that shows high detail meshes when close (i.e buildings, trees) and merged low detail meshes
for far away groups (i.e. cities, woods).
* 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.
CharacterBody has a linear_velocity property to replace the argument in
move_and_slide.
StaticBody handles reporting linear/angular velocity correctly when
kinematic motion is used (in 3D, used in vehicle and navigation).
Safe margin property on CharacterBody only, used as argument in
move_and_collide.
Removed kinematic_safe_margin in 3D physics server, not really useful
and now harmonized with 2D.
Does the same thing as simulate motion from RigidBody in Kinematic mode,
and CharacterBody (previously KinematicBody).
Added support for constant linear/angular velocity with kinematic_motion
in StaticBody, which moves the body in physics.
Updated documentation for StaticBody and CharacterBody to describe their
functionalities more accurately.
MODE_DYNAMIC instead of MODE_RIGID
MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED instead of MODE_CHARACTER
No more special case for sleeping behavior for MODE_DYNAMIC_LOCKED
(MODE_CHARACTER was forcing the body not to sleep, which is redundant
with can_sleep and wasn't done in Bullet).
- snap property to replace move_and_slide_with_snap()
- floor_max_angle, stop_on_slope, infinite_inertia, max_slides,
up_direction properties to replace arguments from move_and_slide()
- up direction now defaults to Vector3.UP and Vector2.UP
PhysicsBody now has methods move_and_collide/test_move and needed
properties for these methods: safe margin, locked axes (3D only).
Moved collision_exceptions from StaticBody to PhysicsBody for 3D
(same as 2D, and conforms to documentation).
RigidBody doesn't have test_motion method anymore, it's now redundant
with PhysicsBody.test_move.
