Implement volumetric fog and volumetric lighting, also known as light shafts or god rays. (#13057) This commit implements a more physically-accurate, but slower, form of fog than the `bevy_pbr::fog` module does. Notably, this *volumetric fog* allows for light beams from directional lights to shine through, creating what is known as *light shafts* or *god rays*. To add volumetric fog to a scene, add `VolumetricFogSettings` to the camera, and add `VolumetricLight` to directional lights that you wish to be volumetric. `VolumetricFogSettings` has numerous settings that allow you to define the accuracy of the simulation, as well as the look of the fog. Currently, only interaction with directional lights that have shadow maps is supported. Note that the overhead of the effect scales directly with the number of directional lights in use, so apply `VolumetricLight` sparingly for the best results. The overall algorithm, which is implemented as a postprocessing effect, is a combination of the techniques described in [Scratchapixel] and [this blog post]. It uses raymarching in screen space, transformed into shadow map space for sampling and combined with physically-based modeling of absorption and scattering. Bevy employs the widely-used [Henyey-Greenstein phase function] to model asymmetry; this essentially allows light shafts to fade into and out of existence as the user views them. Volumetric rendering is a huge subject, and I deliberately kept the scope of this commit small. Possible follow-ups include: 1. Raymarching at a lower resolution. 2. A post-processing blur (especially useful when combined with (1)). 3. Supporting point lights and spot lights. 4. Supporting lights with no shadow maps. 5. Supporting irradiance volumes and reflection probes. 6. Voxel components that reuse the volumetric fog code to create voxel shapes. 7. *Horizon: Zero Dawn*-style clouds. These are all useful, but out of scope of this patch for now, to keep things tidy and easy to review. A new example, `volumetric_fog`, has been added to demonstrate the effect. ## Changelog ### Added * A new component, `VolumetricFog`, is available, to allow for a more physically-accurate, but more resource-intensive, form of fog. * A new component, `VolumetricLight`, can be placed on directional lights to make them interact with `VolumetricFog`. Notably, this allows such lights to emit light shafts/god rays. ![Screenshot 2024-04-21 162808](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/7a1fc81d-eed5-4735-9419-286c496391a9) ![Screenshot 2024-04-21 132005](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/e6d3b5ca-8f59-488d-a3de-15e95aaf4995) [Scratchapixel]: https://www.scratchapixel.com/lessons/3d-basic-rendering/volume-rendering-for-developers/intro-volume-rendering.html [this blog post]: https://www.alexandre-pestana.com/volumetric-lights/ [Henyey-Greenstein phase function]: https://www.pbr-book.org/4ed/Volume_Scattering/Phase_Functions#TheHenyeyndashGreensteinPhaseFunction

Allow volumetric fog to be localized to specific, optionally voxelized, regions. (#14099) Currently, volumetric fog is global and affects the entire scene uniformly. This is inadequate for many use cases, such as local smoke effects. To address this problem, this commit introduces *fog volumes*, which are axis-aligned bounding boxes (AABBs) that specify fog parameters inside their boundaries. Such volumes can also specify a *density texture*, a 3D texture of voxels that specifies the density of the fog at each point. To create a fog volume, add a `FogVolume` component to an entity (which is included in the new `FogVolumeBundle` convenience bundle). Like light probes, a fog volume is conceptually a 1×1×1 cube centered on the origin; a transform can be used to position and resize this region. Many of the fields on the existing `VolumetricFogSettings` have migrated to the new `FogVolume` component. `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera is still needed to enable volumetric fog. However, by itself `VolumetricFogSettings` is no longer sufficient to enable volumetric fog; a `FogVolume` must be present. Applications that wish to retain the old global fog behavior can simply surround the scene with a large fog volume. By way of implementation, this commit converts the volumetric fog shader from a full-screen shader to one applied to a mesh. The strategy is different depending on whether the camera is inside or outside the fog volume. If the camera is inside the fog volume, the mesh is simply a plane scaled to the viewport, effectively falling back to a full-screen pass. If the camera is outside the fog volume, the mesh is a cube transformed to coincide with the boundaries of the fog volume's AABB. Importantly, in the latter case, only the front faces of the cuboid are rendered. Instead of treating the boundaries of the fog as a sphere centered on the camera position, as we did prior to this patch, we raytrace the far planes of the AABB to determine the portion of each ray contained within the fog volume. We then raymarch in shadow map space as usual. If a density texture is present, we modulate the fixed density value with the trilinearly-interpolated value from that texture. Furthermore, this patch introduces optional jitter to fog volumes, intended for use with TAA. This modifies the position of the ray from frame to frame using interleaved gradient noise, in order to reduce aliasing artifacts. Many implementations of volumetric fog in games use this technique. Note that this patch makes no attempt to write a motion vector; this is because when a view ray intersects multiple voxels there's no single direction of motion. Consequently, fog volumes can have ghosting artifacts, but because fog is "ghostly" by its nature, these artifacts are less objectionable than they would be for opaque objects. A new example, `fog_volumes`, has been added. It demonstrates a single fog volume containing a voxelized representation of the Stanford bunny. The existing `volumetric_fog` example has been updated to use the new local volumetrics API. ## Changelog ### Added * Local `FogVolume`s are now supported, to localize fog to specific regions. They can optionally have 3D density voxel textures for precise control over the distribution of the fog. ### Changed * `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera no longer enables volumetric fog; instead, it simply enables the processing of `FogVolume`s within the scene. ## Migration Guide * A `FogVolume` is now necessary in order to enable volumetric fog, in addition to `VolumetricFogSettings` on the camera. Existing uses of volumetric fog can be migrated by placing a large `FogVolume` surrounding the scene. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: François Mockers <mockersf@gmail.com>

A new example, `fog_volumes`, has been added. It demonstrates a single fog volume containing a voxelized representation of the Stanford bunny. The existing `volumetric_fog` example has been updated to use the new local volumetrics API. ## Changelog ### Added * Local `FogVolume`s are now supported, to localize fog to specific regions. They can optionally have 3D density voxel textures for precise control over the distribution of the fog. ### Changed * `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera no longer enables volumetric fog; instead, it simply enables the processing of `FogVolume`s within the scene. ## Migration Guide * A `FogVolume` is now necessary in order to enable volumetric fog, in addition to `VolumetricFogSettings` on the camera. Existing uses of volumetric fog can be migrated by placing a large `FogVolume` surrounding the scene. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: François Mockers <mockersf@gmail.com>

Implement volumetric fog and volumetric lighting, also known as light shafts or god rays. (#13057) This commit implements a more physically-accurate, but slower, form of fog than the `bevy_pbr::fog` module does. Notably, this *volumetric fog* allows for light beams from directional lights to shine through, creating what is known as *light shafts* or *god rays*. To add volumetric fog to a scene, add `VolumetricFogSettings` to the camera, and add `VolumetricLight` to directional lights that you wish to be volumetric. `VolumetricFogSettings` has numerous settings that allow you to define the accuracy of the simulation, as well as the look of the fog. Currently, only interaction with directional lights that have shadow maps is supported. Note that the overhead of the effect scales directly with the number of directional lights in use, so apply `VolumetricLight` sparingly for the best results. The overall algorithm, which is implemented as a postprocessing effect, is a combination of the techniques described in [Scratchapixel] and [this blog post]. It uses raymarching in screen space, transformed into shadow map space for sampling and combined with physically-based modeling of absorption and scattering. Bevy employs the widely-used [Henyey-Greenstein phase function] to model asymmetry; this essentially allows light shafts to fade into and out of existence as the user views them. Volumetric rendering is a huge subject, and I deliberately kept the scope of this commit small. Possible follow-ups include: 1. Raymarching at a lower resolution. 2. A post-processing blur (especially useful when combined with (1)). 3. Supporting point lights and spot lights. 4. Supporting lights with no shadow maps. 5. Supporting irradiance volumes and reflection probes. 6. Voxel components that reuse the volumetric fog code to create voxel shapes. 7. *Horizon: Zero Dawn*-style clouds. These are all useful, but out of scope of this patch for now, to keep things tidy and easy to review. A new example, `volumetric_fog`, has been added to demonstrate the effect. ## Changelog ### Added * A new component, `VolumetricFog`, is available, to allow for a more physically-accurate, but more resource-intensive, form of fog. * A new component, `VolumetricLight`, can be placed on directional lights to make them interact with `VolumetricFog`. Notably, this allows such lights to emit light shafts/god rays. ![Screenshot 2024-04-21 162808](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/7a1fc81d-eed5-4735-9419-286c496391a9) ![Screenshot 2024-04-21 132005](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/e6d3b5ca-8f59-488d-a3de-15e95aaf4995) [Scratchapixel]: https://www.scratchapixel.com/lessons/3d-basic-rendering/volume-rendering-for-developers/intro-volume-rendering.html [this blog post]: https://www.alexandre-pestana.com/volumetric-lights/ [Henyey-Greenstein phase function]: https://www.pbr-book.org/4ed/Volume_Scattering/Phase_Functions#TheHenyeyndashGreensteinPhaseFunction
