Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). (#12916) Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally, this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show different levels of detail. This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline; they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering. However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as *octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*. The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children; it must be placed on every mesh. Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in question, so that we don't lose early Z. Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs, display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a `VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system. A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of detail. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map [^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same purpose. ## Changelog ### Added * A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support.

Migrate meshes and materials to required components (#15524) # Objective A big step in the migration to required components: meshes and materials! ## Solution As per the [selected proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2Fj9-PnF-2QKK0on1KQ29UWQ): - Deprecate `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and `PbrBundle`. - Add `Mesh2d` and `Mesh3d` components, which wrap a `Handle<Mesh>`. - Add `MeshMaterial2d<M: Material2d>` and `MeshMaterial3d<M: Material>`, which wrap a `Handle<M>`. - Meshes *without* a mesh material should be rendered with a default material. The existence of a material is determined by `HasMaterial2d`/`HasMaterial3d`, which is required by `MeshMaterial2d`/`MeshMaterial3d`. This gets around problems with the generics. Previously: ```rust commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle { mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(), material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)), transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), ..default() }); ``` Now: ```rust commands.spawn(( Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))), MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))), Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), )); ``` If the mesh material is missing, previously nothing was rendered. Now, it renders a white default `ColorMaterial` in 2D and a `StandardMaterial` in 3D (this can be overridden). Below, only every other entity has a material: ![Näyttökuva 2024-09-29 181746](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c8be029-d2fe-4b8c-ae89-17a72ff82c9a) ![Näyttökuva 2024-09-29 181918](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/58adbc55-5a1e-4c7d-a2c7-ed456227b909) Why white? This is still open for discussion, but I think white makes sense for a *default* material, while *invalid* asset handles pointing to nothing should have something like a pink material to indicate that something is broken (I don't handle that in this PR yet). This is kind of a mix of Godot and Unity: Godot just renders a white material for non-existent materials, while Unity renders nothing when no materials exist, but renders pink for invalid materials. I can also change the default material to pink if that is preferable though. ## Testing I ran some 2D and 3D examples to test if anything changed visually. I have not tested all examples or features yet however. If anyone wants to test more extensively, it would be appreciated! ## Implementation Notes - The relationship between `bevy_render` and `bevy_pbr` is weird here. `bevy_render` needs `Mesh3d` for its own systems, but `bevy_pbr` has all of the material logic, and `bevy_render` doesn't depend on it. I feel like the two crates should be refactored in some way, but I think that's out of scope for this PR. - I didn't migrate meshlets to required components yet. That can probably be done in a follow-up, as this is already a huge PR. - It is becoming increasingly clear to me that we really, *really* want to disallow raw asset handles as components. They caused me a *ton* of headache here already, and it took me a long time to find every place that queried for them or inserted them directly on entities, since there were no compiler errors for it. If we don't remove the `Component` derive, I expect raw asset handles to be a *huge* footgun for users as we transition to wrapper components, especially as handles as components have been the norm so far. I personally consider this to be a blocker for 0.15: we need to migrate to wrapper components for asset handles everywhere, and remove the `Component` derive. Also see https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14124. --- ## Migration Guide Asset handles for meshes and mesh materials must now be wrapped in the `Mesh2d` and `MeshMaterial2d` or `Mesh3d` and `MeshMaterial3d` components for 2D and 3D respectively. Raw handles as components no longer render meshes. Additionally, `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and `PbrBundle` have been deprecated. Instead, use the mesh and material components directly. Previously: ```rust commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle { mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(), material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)), transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), ..default() }); ``` Now: ```rust commands.spawn(( Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))), MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))), Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), )); ``` If the mesh material is missing, a white default material is now used. Previously, nothing was rendered if the material was missing. The `WithMesh2d` and `WithMesh3d` query filter type aliases have also been removed. Simply use `With<Mesh2d>` or `With<Mesh3d>`. --------- Co-authored-by: Tim Blackbird <justthecooldude@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). (#12916) Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally, this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show different levels of detail. This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline; they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering. However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as *octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*. The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children; it must be placed on every mesh. Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in question, so that we don't lose early Z. Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs, display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a `VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system. A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it.

Migrate meshes and materials to required components (#15524) # Objective A big step in the migration to required components: meshes and materials! ## Solution As per the [selected proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2Fj9-PnF-2QKK0on1KQ29UWQ): - Deprecate `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and `PbrBundle`. - Add `Mesh2d` and `Mesh3d` components, which wrap a `Handle<Mesh>`. - Add `MeshMaterial2d<M: Material2d>` and `MeshMaterial3d<M: Material>`, which wrap a `Handle<M>`. - Meshes *without* a mesh material should be rendered with a default material. The existence of a material is determined by `HasMaterial2d`/`HasMaterial3d`, which is required by `MeshMaterial2d`/`MeshMaterial3d`. This gets around problems with the generics. Previously: ```rust commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle { mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(), material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)), transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), ..default() }); ``` Now: ```rust commands.spawn(( Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))), MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))), Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), )); ``` If the mesh material is missing, previously nothing was rendered. Now, it renders a white default `ColorMaterial` in 2D and a `StandardMaterial` in 3D (this can be overridden). Below, only every other entity has a material: ![Näyttökuva 2024-09-29 181746](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c8be029-d2fe-4b8c-ae89-17a72ff82c9a) ![Näyttökuva 2024-09-29 181918](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/58adbc55-5a1e-4c7d-a2c7-ed456227b909) Why white? This is still open for discussion, but I think white makes sense for a *default* material, while *invalid* asset handles pointing to nothing should have something like a pink material to indicate that something is broken (I don't handle that in this PR yet). This is kind of a mix of Godot and Unity: Godot just renders a white material for non-existent materials, while Unity renders nothing when no materials exist, but renders pink for invalid materials. I can also change the default material to pink if that is preferable though. ## Testing I ran some 2D and 3D examples to test if anything changed visually. I have not tested all examples or features yet however. If anyone wants to test more extensively, it would be appreciated! ## Implementation Notes - The relationship between `bevy_render` and `bevy_pbr` is weird here. `bevy_render` needs `Mesh3d` for its own systems, but `bevy_pbr` has all of the material logic, and `bevy_render` doesn't depend on it. I feel like the two crates should be refactored in some way, but I think that's out of scope for this PR. - I didn't migrate meshlets to required components yet. That can probably be done in a follow-up, as this is already a huge PR. - It is becoming increasingly clear to me that we really, *really* want to disallow raw asset handles as components. They caused me a *ton* of headache here already, and it took me a long time to find every place that queried for them or inserted them directly on entities, since there were no compiler errors for it. If we don't remove the `Component` derive, I expect raw asset handles to be a *huge* footgun for users as we transition to wrapper components, especially as handles as components have been the norm so far. I personally consider this to be a blocker for 0.15: we need to migrate to wrapper components for asset handles everywhere, and remove the `Component` derive. Also see https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14124. --- ## Migration Guide Asset handles for meshes and mesh materials must now be wrapped in the `Mesh2d` and `MeshMaterial2d` or `Mesh3d` and `MeshMaterial3d` components for 2D and 3D respectively. Raw handles as components no longer render meshes. Additionally, `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and `PbrBundle` have been deprecated. Instead, use the mesh and material components directly. Previously: ```rust commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle { mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(), material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)), transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), ..default() }); ``` Now: ```rust commands.spawn(( Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))), MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))), Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)), )); ``` If the mesh material is missing, a white default material is now used. Previously, nothing was rendered if the material was missing. The `WithMesh2d` and `WithMesh3d` query filter type aliases have also been removed. Simply use `With<Mesh2d>` or `With<Mesh3d>`. --------- Co-authored-by: Tim Blackbird <justthecooldude@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). (#12916) Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally, this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show different levels of detail. This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline; they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering. However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as *octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*. The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children; it must be placed on every mesh. Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in question, so that we don't lose early Z. Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs, display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a `VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system. A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of detail. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map [^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same purpose. ## Changelog ### Added * A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support.

I separated `TextSpan` from `TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode` component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI. Extra changes: - Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference. This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than `self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable reference for this reason. ## Testing - [x] Text examples all work. --- ## Showcase TODO: showcase-worthy ## Migration Guide TODO: very breaking ### Accessing text spans by index Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters to access spans by index. Before: ```rust fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) { let text = query.single_mut(); text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed()); } ``` After: ```rust fn refresh_text( query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>, mut writer: UiTextWriter, time: Res<Time> ) { let entity = query.single(); *writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed()); } ``` ### Iterating text spans Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader` and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of the spans. --------- Co-authored-by: ickshonpe <david.curthoys@googlemail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). (#12916) Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail (HLODs). This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally, this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show different levels of detail. This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline; they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering. However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as *octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*. The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children; it must be placed on every mesh. Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in question, so that we don't lose early Z. Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs, display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a `VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system. A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of detail. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map [^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same purpose. ## Changelog ### Added * A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support. This can be used to implement different levels of detail (LODs). ## Screenshots High-poly model: ![Screenshot 2024-04-09 185541](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/7e8be017-7187-4471-8866-974e2d8f2623) Low-poly model up close: ![Screenshot 2024-04-09 185546](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/429603fe-6bb7-4246-8b4e-b4888fd1d3a0) Crossfading between the two: ![Screenshot 2024-04-09 185604](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/86d0d543-f8f3-49ec-8fe5-caa4d0784fd4) --------- Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>
