Hugo Locurcio 5f4a9e409f Use InputEventMouseMotion.screen_relative where relevant in all demos (#1232)
This provides mouse sensitivity that is independent of the viewport
size, without needing to query for project settings.

This also inverts the mouse motion direction in the 3D navigation demo
to better match expectations, and increases mouse sensitivity in the
Window Management demo to be closer to other demos.

Procedural Materials

This demo includes procedurally generated materials with 3 different techniques:

  • NoiseTexture2D: Built-in class that generates images on the CPU based on noise patterns (such as Simplex or Cellular). This is suited for static textures only. Texture generation is done asynchronously and is faster than using scripting, since the noise algorithms are implemented in C++ in the engine.

  • Scripting: Uses the Image class to procedurally generate an ImageTexture on the CPU. This is suited for static textures only. This approach is more flexible than NoiseTexture2D, but is slower to generate textures. Once the texture is generated, rendering performance is identical to NoiseTexture2D.

  • Shaders: Uses a 2D shader on a ColorRect node that matches a Viewport's size with the resulting ViewportTexture applied to a material. This is updated on the GPU in real-time, and is most suited for animated textures. This approach can also be used for static textures, with a lower performance overhead since the texture doesn't need to be updated every frame.

Language: GDScript

Renderer: Forward+
