- 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.

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+
