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 🎆
(cherry picked from commit b5334d14f7)
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
In 2.1 and 3.0, light_vec could be modified for altering shadow_computations.
But it broke shadows when rotating light. shadow_vec would do the same, but without breaking
shadows in rotated lights if not used.
Add inverse light transformation to shadow vec, so it's not affected when rotating lights;
Added usage define for shadow vec.
For shadow vec working properly when rotating a light, it's needed to multiply it by light_matrix normalized. Added usage define in order to don't do that if shadow_vec not used.
Remove animation loop from ParticlesMaterial and move it to
SpatialMaterial for 3D particles and Particles2D for the 2D case.
Added animation to CPUParticles2D as well as the "Convert to
CPUParticles2D" to the PAarticles2D menu.
Using `misc/scripts/fix_headers.py` on all Godot files.
Some missing header guards were added, and the header inclusion order
was fixed in the Bullet module.
Schlick's approximation and GGX are orthogonal concepts.
Furthermore, it's usage so far has been inconsistent: we don't even use it with anisotropic SchlickGGX, and Burley (Disney) diffuse does use it while its name doesn't indicate it.
The use of Schlick's approximation in Burley and GGX is an implementation detail and doesn't need to be reflected to the namig.
