GH-98163 ) CSGMesh3D now explicitly requires the mesh to be manifold. A manifold mesh must be closed, have each edge connected to only two faces, and have volume. Commonly, this means that it needs to be a watertight mesh without any holes and where you can never see the backside of the triangles. ( Import 4.4

Fixes depth sorting of meshes with transparent textures ( GH-50721 ). Morris Arroad ( mortarroad ) has worked on using a more reliable algorithm from Bullet to generate physics convex hulls from meshes. now defaults to using it for lossless texture compression instead of PNGs, thanks to work from Morris Arroad ( mortarroad ).
