* Move client interpolation pump to earlier in the iteration before 3D physics synced
* Allow `get_global_transform_interpolated()` to prime the client interpolation inside a physics tick
* Moves 3D Camera interpolation scene side.
* Automatically switches `get_camera_transform()` to report interpolated transform during `_process()`.
* Fixes `ClippedCamera` to work with physics interpolation.
* NOTIFICATION_MOVED_IN_PARENT makes node children management very inefficient.
* Replaced by a NOTIFICATION_CHILD_ORDER_CHANGED (and children_changed signal).
* Most of the previous tasks carried out by NOTIFICATION_MOVED_IN_PARENT are now done not more than a single time per frame.
This PR breaks compatibility (although this notification was very rarely used, even within the engine), but provides an alternate way to do the same.
Add scene side discrete level of detail.
New node `LOD` for UI, and `LODManager` within `World` for automatically updating child visibilities based on distance from cameras.
* Re-introduces a property for portals to decide whether they are included in room bounds during room conversion.
* Adds a special case for portals that extend into the start room, which may be caused by level design inaccuracies.
Remove the base error message in `OS`, we no longer really error out this
way for not implemented methods. Instead, each platform should override them
to provide the context they want.
Fixes#82439.
(cherry picked from commit 0a10f09ce4)
- Implement shadow fading when using the Orthogonal shadow mode
(like in `master`).
This allows customizing the distance at which directional shadows
start to fade away. Shadow fading will also always start at the same
distance now, regardless of the current shadow mode in use.
This is useful for enclosed levels to prevent shadows from fading
at all with a well-tuned maximum distance.
The default fade start value (0.8) results in fading happening later
in the distance compared to the previous behavior, where fading started
from the last shadow split distance (0.6 in PSSM 4 Splits and
0.1 in PSSM 2 Splits).
Existing shadow caster culling using the BVH takes no account of the camera. This PR adds the highly encapsulated class VisualServerLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
This is used to:
* More accurately defer dirty updates to shadows when the shadow volume does not intersect the camera frustum.
* Tighter cull shadow casters to the view frustum.
Lights dirty state is now automatically managed:
* Continuous (tighter caster culling)
* Static (all casters are rendered)
