On PICO hands showing problems without a Viewport2Din3D

[robherre]

I don't know why, but if I don't instantiate a viewport_2d_in_3d.tscn I have one, depending of the rest of the scene, of the next problems with hands:

• Not showing at all
• Instead of hands it shows VERY BIG perpendicular planes that difficult watching the scene.
• I can see then hands but doesn't move the fingers when pulling the triggers.

If I add the mentioned scene to the scene -it can be disabled- it works correctly.

I've been trying to track this one down for a while. Hands are animated by a vertex shader that takes a "texture" containing the bone transforms. Last night I found out that on Android (and probably all gles systems) this skeleton-texture update rate is somehow being coupled to the updates of viewports in the viewport_2d_in_3d.tscn. If the viewport is rate-limited to 1Hz then the hand bone angles update once a second.

I tracked it down finally - godotengine/godot#79772 - hopefully this makes it into an RC shortly.

Closing this as the fix has been merged. It will be in the 4.2 release of Godot and may end up being cherry picked for 4.1.2
