Godot 4.0 optimization progress report

Mircosoft Game Dev

Before getting into the GPU side, several optimizations have been done on the CPU side: Culling is now done in a brute-force way which is extremely cache efficient. Everything in the main frame is culled at the same time, objects, light cascades, SDFGI cascades, etc. These test do culling on 10k objects.

Additionally, a 3D vector field texture can be provided for use with vector fields generated in Maya or other tools. They are dynamic and can be moved around in real-time, colliding with any particle system which matches the cull mask. Sphere and Box attractors are supported. Likewise, Sphere and Box colliders are supported.
