- Revert meshoptimizer patch; the metric used for LOD selection now
incorporates attribute error
- Since LOD selection is now aware of attribute deviation, we don't
need to use a higher normal weight
- To prevent normal creases from creating input triangles with very
large normal deviation, reduce default normal merge threshold
- Since we now use combined metric to select LODs, we never need LODs
with error>1 as these should not be selected if the mesh is visible.
When importing meshes with vertex colors, we will now supply them to the
simplifier as attributes with weight=1 (in addition to normals). This will
guide the simplification to preserve regions where vertex colors change.
For this change to take full effect, it is also necessary to respect the
full error when selecting LODs; this change does not do that yet, so there
are going to still be cases where vertex colors change abruptly during LOD
switch in a visible manner.
GLOBAL_GET is an expensive operation which should not be used each frame / tick.
This PR adds macros which do a cheaper revision check, and only call the expensive GLOBAL_GET when project settings have changed.

Adds a few checks to ensure a debug collision mesh contains mesh data before
attempting to add it to the gizmo draw list. This prevents errors when using
SeparationRayShape3D, which is only intended to draw a single line, and
contains no mesh data.
Closes#100665
This allows changing the display colour of a CollisionShape3D node on a per-shape basis.
It also adds the ability to display a solid coloured preview of a CollisionShape3D.

While all the previous fixes to optimizeVertexCache invocation fixed the
vertex transform efficiency, the import code still was missing two
crucial recommendations from meshoptimizer documentation:
- All meshes should be optimized for vertex cache (this reorders
vertices for maximum fetch efficiency)
- When LODs are used with a shared vertex buffer, the vertex order
should be generated by doing a vertex fetch optimization on the
concatenated index buffer from coarse to fine LODs; this maximizes
fetch efficiency for coarse LODs
The last point is especially crucial for Mali GPUs; unlike other GPUs
where vertex order affects fetch efficiency but not shading, these GPUs
have various shading quirks (depending on the GPU generation) that
really require consecutive index ranges for each LOD, which requires the
second optimization mentioned above. However all of these also help
desktop GPUs and other mobile GPUs as well.
Because this optimization is "global" in the sense that it affects all
LODs and all vertex arrays in concert, I've taken this opportunity to
isolate all optimization code in this function and pull it out of
generate_lods and create_shadow_mesh; this doesn't change the vertex
cache efficiency, but makes the code cleaner. Consequently,
optimize_indices should be called after other functions like
create_shadow_mesh / generate_lods.
This required exposing meshopt_optimizeVertexFetchRemap; as a drive-by,
meshopt_simplifySloppy was never used so it's not exposed anymore - this
will simplify future meshopt upgrades if they end up changing the
function's interface.
"Raycast Normals" was introduced in 4.4 dev and defaulted to "false".
The limited testing results at the time suggested that raycasting
generally reduces normal quality compared to native simplifier results,
at the same time increasing vertex memory and import time.
To play it safe, we introduced a setting that defaulted to false, with
the goal of removing it later in 4.4 development cycle if no regressions
are noticed. Since we already had three dev snapshots and no reports,
this change removes the setting and associated code.
"Normal Split Angle" was only used when raycast normals were enabled;
this change removes it from the settings, but keeps it in the script
binding for compatibility.
Existing meshes import exactly the same after this change (unless they
chose to override raycasting which would be surprising).
split_normals helper was only used in this code path and is also removed
for simplicity; it is unlikely that this code will be useful as is, as
it can only regenerate normals without fixing tangents or updating
positions.
The Godot-specific patch is just a single line now; removing this patch
will likely require adjusting Godot importer code to handle error limits
better.
This also adds new SIMPLIFY_ options; Godot is currently not using any
of these but might use SIMPLIFY_PRUNE and SIMPLIFY_SPARSE in the future.
- Implements asynchronous transfer queues from PR #87590.
- Adds ubershaders that can run with specialization constants specified as push constants.
- Pipelines with specialization constants can compile in the background.
- Added monitoring for pipeline compilations.
- Materials and shaders can now be created asynchronously on background threads.
- Meshes that are loaded on background threads can also compile pipelines as part of the loading process.
