- Move all demo projects that don't require Forward+/Mobile-only features
to the Compatibility rendering method. This improves performance significantly
on low-end devices and ensures visuals are identical to a web export
of the demo.
- Set deadzone on all inputs to 0.2 for better gamepad usability.
- Remove reliance on `default_env.tres` to use built-in Environment
resources in the main scene instead (which follows the preview environment
workflow).
- Remove notices pointing to GDNative or VisualScript, since both were
removed in 4.0.
- Various bug fixes and usability tweaks to 10+ demos.
All demos were opened with Godot 4.2.1, with the mesh format
upgraded for 3D demos.
The 3D antialiasing demo now uses Extra Cull Margin on the last
object to prevent it from disappearing too early when the camera
rotates (due to its use of shader-based animation).
On mobile platforms, the vehicle automatically accelerates.
Touch the left and right edges of the screen to steer.
Touch the middle of the screen to brake/reverse
(this also temporarily stops acceleration).
- Fix braking not working correctly (and make breaking stronger
to make vehicles easier to control at high speeds).
- Allow using the D-Pad for steering and X/Square for braking.
- Tweak exhaust particles to be more subtle and fade more smoothly.
- Change spawn position to a location that's more straightforward
to drive.
- Enable anisotropic filtering in 3D demos, and set the quality to
16× on desktop and 4× on mobile.
- Enable 4× MSAA on some 3D demos that didn't use it beforehand.
- On GLES3 demos, disable MSAA on mobile as these demos are often
more demanding.
- Use more conservative framebuffer allocation settings for better
performance.
- Use PCF13 shadow filtering in GLES2 demos on desktop to benefit
from soft shadows in Godot 3.2.4 and later.
In Godot 3.2.3, this will make shadows smoother but still "blocky".
- Use Lossless compression instead of VRAM compression for
small textures such as the voxel demo texture atlas.
- Increase movement and steering speed significantly.
- Increase gravity slightly for a less floaty feeling.
- Simplify camera code (height is now constant).
- Tweaked camera distance and height to fit each vehicle.
- Fix script error when pressing Escape in the main menu
(the demo will now quit).
This is required to benefit from crisp display on hiDPI monitors.
This also fixes issues related to fullscreen and input handling
when using an hiDPI display on Windows.
- Enable 4× MSAA in all 3D demos.
- Enable filmic tonemapping with a whitepoint of 6 in GLES3 3D demos.
- Add subtle fog to the Truck Town demo.
- Use the `2d` stretch mode and `expand` stretch aspect to support
multiple resolutions and aspect ratios.
This makes demos render correctly on hiDPI displays,
while also demonstrating how to handle multiple resolutions.
The 3D in 2D demo now uses "3D No-Effects" for the 3D viewport,
which is faster to render. Thanks to this, 4× MSAA is now enabled
for a better result.
The background loading demo now uses mipmaps for better-looking images.
The material testers demo now samples mouse input in a
resolution-independent manner when panning.
Default clear colors were also changed in some projects for visual
consistency with the project's theme.
