# Objective
- In #17743, attention was raised to the fact that we supported an
unusual kind of step easing function. The author of the fix kindly
provided some links to standards used in CSS. It would be desirable to
support generally agreed upon standards so this PR here tries to
implement an extra configuration option of the step easing function
- Resolve#17744
## Solution
- Introduce `StepConfig`
- `StepConfig` can configure both the number of steps and the jumping
behavior of the function
- `StepConfig` replaces the raw `usize` parameter of the
`EasingFunction::Steps(usize)` construct.
- `StepConfig`s default jumping behavior is `end`, so in that way it
follows #17743
## Testing
- I added a new test per `JumpAt` jumping behavior. These tests
replicate the visuals that can be found at
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/easing-function/steps#description
## Migration Guide
- `EasingFunction::Steps` now uses a `StepConfig` instead of a raw
`usize`. You can replicate the previous behavior by replaceing
`EasingFunction::Steps(10)` with
`EasingFunction::Steps(StepConfig::new(10))`.

# Objective
After #17461, the ease function labels in this example are a bit
cramped, especially in the bottom row.
This adjusts the spacing slightly and centers the labels.
## Solution
- The label is now a child of the plot and they are drawn around the
center of the transform
- Plot size and extents are now constants, and this thing has been
banished:
```rust
i as f32 * 95.0 - 1280.0 / 2.0 + 25.0,
-100.0 - ((j as f32 * 250.0) - 300.0),
0.0,
```
- There's room for expansion in another row, so make that easier by
doing the chunking by row
- Other misc tidying of variable names, sprinkled in a few comments,
etc.

# Objective
The docs of `EaseFunction` don't visualize the different functions,
requiring you to check out the Bevy repo and running the
`easing_function` example.
## Solution
- Add tool to generate suitable svg graphs. This only needs to be re-run
when adding new ease functions.
- works with all themes
- also add missing easing functions to example.

Fixes#17412
## Objective
`Parent` uses the "has a X" naming convention. There is increasing
sentiment that we should use the "is a X" naming convention for
relationships (following #17398). This leaves `Children` as-is because
there is prevailing sentiment that `Children` is clearer than `ParentOf`
in many cases (especially when treating it like a collection).
This renames `Parent` to `ChildOf`.
This is just the implementation PR. To discuss the path forward, do so
in #17412.
## Migration Guide
- The `Parent` component has been renamed to `ChildOf`.
# Objective
Make the `animated_mesh` example more intuitive and easier for the user
to extend.
# Solution
The `animated_mesh` example shows how to spawn a single mesh and play a
single animation. The original code is roughly:
1. In `setup_mesh_and_animation`, spawn an entity with a SceneRoot that
will load and spawn the mesh. Also record the animation to play as a
resource.
2. Use `play_animation_once_loaded` to detect when any animation players
are spawned, then play the animation from the resource.
When I used this example as a starting point for my own app, I hit a
wall when trying to spawn multiple meshes with different animations.
`play_animation_once_loaded` tells me an animation player spawned
somewhere, but how do I get from there to the right animation? The
entity it runs on is spawned by the scene so I can't attach any data to
it?
The new code takes a different approach. Instead of a global resource,
the animation is recorded as a component on the entity with the
SceneRoot. Instead of detecting animation players spawning wherever, an
observer is attached to that specific entity.
This feels more intuitive and localised, and I think most users will
work out how to get from there to different animations and meshes. The
downside is more lines of code, and the "find the animation players"
part still feels a bit magical and inefficient.
# Side Notes
- The solution was mostly stolen from
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14852#issuecomment-2481401769.
- The example still feels too complicated.
- "Why do I have to make this graph to play one animation?"
- "Why can't I choose and play the animation in one step and avoid this
temporary component?"
- I think this requires engine changes.
- I originally started on a separate example of multiple meshes
([branch](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/compare/main...greeble-dev:bevy:animated-mesh-multiple)).
- I decided that the user could probably work this out themselves from
the single animation example.
- But maybe still worth following through.

This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with
planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many
relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same
relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced
into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation").
Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children
system. The biggest differences are:
1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved
performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer
necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the
relationship components you want and everything "just works".
2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in
relationships, and users can define their own.
**REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and
instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take
advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply
pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._
## Built on top of what we have
Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already
have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately
compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying,
spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs
we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better.
## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first?
1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately,
in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to
fragmenting relationships would have significant performance
implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting
relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~
_(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting
storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are
many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_
2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority
for the [Next Generation Scene / UI
effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437).
Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on
top.
## The changes
This PR does the following:
1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system
3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now
lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been
removed.
4. Adds on_despawn component hooks
5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning
that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when
`entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies
enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed.
6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that
relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to
manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently
added to the other APIs (ex: insert).
7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in
favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook.
## Using Relationships
The `Relationship` trait looks like this:
```rust
pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized {
type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>;
fn get(&self) -> Entity;
fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self;
}
```
A relationship is a component that:
1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity.
2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a
simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity"
targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a
`RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity"
that targets it.
For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is
the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the
"source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is
the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component
(which implements `RelationshipSources`).
In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this:
```rust
#[derive(Relationship)]
#[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)]
pub struct Parent(pub Entity);
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement
Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary
to keep everything in sync).
The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with
relationship components:
```rust
let a = world.spawn_empty().id();
let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id();
assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]);
```
There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with
the same relationship:
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over
`with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing
spawn patterns.
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and
`despawn_related`.
## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook
`RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior,
which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy:
```rust
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required.
Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities
will also be despawned.
To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants,
you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove
the related `Parent` components:
```rust
entity
.remove::<Children>()
.despawn()
```
This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired
when an entity is despawned (before other hooks).
## Relationships are the source of truth
`Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component.
`RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the
`Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to
significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can
rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather
than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist
(which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us
constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn
populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from
those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff,
both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means
theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to
employ for Bevy APIs).
As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent
source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible
many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to
scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates.
[`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations)
has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many"
approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that
approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system.
## Followup Work
* Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in
this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward
this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships).
* [Improved spawning
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
* Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship
targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the
current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have
existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this
than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back.
* Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of
"value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines
their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling
a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value
component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered
"different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting
and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work
as expected.
* Many-to-many support
* Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities
instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for
this.
* Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get
many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple
copies of a Relationship component with different target entities.
Fixes#3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted
followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of
the large amount of less-directed historical context)
Fixes#17301Fixes#12235Fixes#15299Fixes#15308
## Migration Guide
* Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`.
* Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with
`.insert(Parent(parent_id))`.
* Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()`
followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn
any children that are not carried over.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with
`.despawn_related::<Children>()`.
* If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children
being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first.

# Objective
Building upon https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17191, improve the
`animated_mesh` example by removing code, adding comments, and making
the example more c&p'able.
## Solution
- Split the setup function in two to clarify what the example is
demonstrating.
- `setup_mesh_and_animation` is the demonstration.
- `setup_camera_and_environment` just sets up the example app.
- Changed the animation playing to use `AnimationPlayer` directly
instead of creating `AnimationTransitions`.
- This appears sufficient when only playing a single animation.
- Added a comment pointing users to an example of multiple animations.
- Changed the animation to be the run cycle.
- I think it got accidentally changed to the idle in
[#17191](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17191), so this is
reverting back to the original.
- Note that we can improve it to select the animation by name if
[#16529](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16529) lands.
- Renamed `FOX_PATH` to a more neutral `GLTF_PATH`.
- Updated the example descriptions to mention the fox.
- This adds a little character and hints that the example involves
character animation.
- Removed a seemingly redundant `AnimationGraphHandle` component.
- Removed an unnecessary `clone()`.
- Added various comments.
## Notes
- A draft of this PR was discussed on Discord:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1326910663972618302/1326920498663133348
- There was discord discussion on whether a component is "inserted
onto", "inserted into" or "added to" an entity.
- "Added to" is most common in code and docs, and seems best to me. But
it awkwardly differs from the name of `EntityCommands::insert`.
- This PR prefers "added to".
- I plan to follow up this PR with similar changes to the
`animated_mesh_control` and `animated_mesh_events` examples.
- But I could roll them into this PR if requested.

# Objective
Stumbled upon a `from <-> form` transposition while reviewing a PR,
thought it was interesting, and went down a bit of a rabbit hole.
## Solution
Fix em
Fixes#17192.
Replaces "animated_fox" with "animated_mesh".
I considered a few different names - should it say "skinned_mesh" to be
precise? Should it mention gltf? But "animated_mesh" seems intuitive and
keeps it short.
## Testing
- Ran all three examples (Windows 10).
# Objective
Our `animated_fox` example used to be a bare-bones example of how to
spawn an animated gltf and play a single animation.
I think that's a valuable example, and the current `animated_fox`
example is doing way too much. Users who are trying to understand how
our animation system are presented with an enormous amount of
information that may not be immediately relevant.
Over the past few releases, I've been migrating a simple app of mine
where the only animation I need is a single gltf that starts playing a
single animation when it is loaded. It has been a slight struggle to
wade through changes to the animation system to figure out the minimal
amount of things required to accomplish this.
Somewhat motivated by this [recent reddit
thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1ht93vl/comment/m5c0nc9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1)
where Bevy and animation got a mention.
## Solution
- Split `animated_fox` into three separate examples
- `animated_fox` - Loads and immediately plays a single animation
- `animated_fox_control` - Shows how to control animations
- `animated_fox_events` - Shows fancy particles when the fox's feet hit
the ground
- Some minor drive-by tidying of these examples
I have created this PR after playing around with the idea and liking how
it turned out, but the duplication isn't totally ideal and there's some
slight overlap with other examples and inconsistencies:
- `animation_events` is simplified and not specific to "loaded animated
scenes" and seems valuable on its own
- `animation_graph` also uses a fox
I am happy to close this if there's no consensus that it's a good idea /
step forward for these examples.
## Testing
`cargo run --example animated_fox`
`cargo run --example animated_fox_control`
`cargo run --example animated_fox_events`
This PR adds support for *mixed lighting* to Bevy, whereby some parts of
the scene are lightmapped, while others take part in real-time lighting.
(Here *real-time lighting* means lighting at runtime via the PBR shader,
as opposed to precomputed light using lightmaps.) It does so by adding a
new field, `affects_lightmapped_meshes` to `IrradianceVolume` and
`AmbientLight`, and a corresponding field
`affects_lightmapped_mesh_diffuse` to `DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`,
`SpotLight`, and `EnvironmentMapLight`. By default, this value is set to
true; when set to false, the light contributes nothing to the diffuse
irradiance component to meshes with lightmaps.
Note that specular light is unaffected. This is because the correct way
to bake specular lighting is *directional lightmaps*, which we have no
support for yet.
There are two general ways I expect this field to be used:
1. When diffuse indirect light is baked into lightmaps, irradiance
volumes and reflection probes shouldn't contribute any diffuse light to
the static geometry that has a lightmap. That's because the baking tool
should have already accounted for it, and in a higher-quality fashion,
as lightmaps typically offer a higher effective texture resolution than
the light probe does.
2. When direct diffuse light is baked into a lightmap, punctual lights
shouldn't contribute any diffuse light to static geometry with a
lightmap, to avoid double-counting. It may seem odd to bake *direct*
light into a lightmap, as opposed to indirect light. But there is a use
case: in a scene with many lights, avoiding light leaks requires shadow
mapping, which quickly becomes prohibitive when many lights are
involved. Baking lightmaps allows light leaks to be eliminated on static
geometry.
A new example, `mixed_lighting`, has been added. It demonstrates a sofa
(model from the [glTF Sample Assets]) that has been lightmapped offline
using [Bakery]. It has four modes:
1. In *baked* mode, all objects are locked in place, and all the diffuse
direct and indirect light has been calculated ahead of time. Note that
the bottom of the sphere has a red tint from the sofa, illustrating that
the baking tool captured indirect light for it.
2. In *mixed direct* mode, lightmaps capturing diffuse direct and
indirect light have been pre-calculated for the static objects, but the
dynamic sphere has real-time lighting. Note that, because the diffuse
lighting has been entirely pre-calculated for the scenery, the dynamic
sphere casts no shadow. In a real app, you would typically use real-time
lighting for the most important light so that dynamic objects can shadow
the scenery and relegate baked lighting to the less important lights for
which shadows aren't as important. Also note that there is no red tint
on the sphere, because there is no global illumination applied to it. In
an actual game, you could fix this problem by supplementing the
lightmapped objects with an irradiance volume.
3. In *mixed indirect* mode, all direct light is calculated in
real-time, and the static objects have pre-calculated indirect lighting.
This corresponds to the mode that most applications are expected to use.
Because direct light on the scenery is computed dynamically, shadows are
fully supported. As in mixed direct mode, there is no global
illumination on the sphere; in a real application, irradiance volumes
could be used to supplement the lightmaps.
4. In *real-time* mode, no lightmaps are used at all, and all punctual
lights are rendered in real-time. No global illumination exists.
In the example, you can click around to move the sphere, unless you're
in baked mode, in which case the sphere must be locked in place to be
lit correctly.
## Showcase
Baked mode:

Mixed direct mode:

Mixed indirect mode (default):

Real-time mode:

## Migration guide
* The `AmbientLight` resource, the `IrradianceVolume` component, and the
`EnvironmentMapLight` component now have `affects_lightmapped_meshes`
fields. If you don't need to use that field (for example, if you aren't
using lightmaps), you can safely set the field to true.
* `DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`, and `SpotLight` now have
`affects_lightmapped_mesh_diffuse` fields. If you don't need to use that
field (for example, if you aren't using lightmaps), you can safely set
the field to true.

Updating dependencies; adopted version of #15696. (Supercedes #15696.)
Long answer: hashbrown is no longer using ahash by default, meaning that
we can't use the default-hasher methods with ahasher. So, we have to use
the longer-winded versions instead. This takes the opportunity to also
switch our default hasher as well, but without actually enabling the
default-hasher feature for hashbrown, meaning that we'll be able to
change our hasher more easily at the cost of all of these method calls
being obnoxious forever.
One large change from 0.15 is that `insert_unique_unchecked` is now
`unsafe`, and for cases where unsafe code was denied at the crate level,
I replaced it with `insert`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils` has updated its version of `hashbrown` to 0.15 and now
defaults to `foldhash` instead of `ahash`. This means that if you've
hard-coded your hasher to `bevy_utils::AHasher` or separately used the
`ahash` crate in your code, you may need to switch to `foldhash` to
ensure that everything works like it does in Bevy.
# Objective
- A `Trigger` has multiple associated `Entity`s - the entity observing
the event, and the entity that was targeted by the event.
- The field `entity: Entity` encodes no semantic information about what
the entity is used for, you can already tell that it's an `Entity` by
the type signature!
## Solution
- Rename `trigger.entity()` to `trigger.target()`
---
## Changelog
- `Trigger`s are associated with multiple entities. `Trigger::entity()`
has been renamed to `Trigger::target()` to reflect the semantics of the
entity being returned.
## Migration Guide
- Rename `Trigger::entity()` to `Trigger::target()`.
- Rename `ObserverTrigger::entity` to `ObserverTrigger::target`
# Objective
Fixes typos in bevy project, following suggestion in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/1912#pullrequestreview-2483499337
## Solution
I used https://github.com/crate-ci/typos to find them.
I included only the ones that feel undebatable too me, but I am not in
game engine so maybe some terms are expected.
I left out the following typos:
- `reparametrize` => `reparameterize`: There are a lot of occurences, I
believe this was expected
- `semicircles` => `hemicircles`: 2 occurences, may mean something
specific in geometry
- `invertation` => `inversion`: may mean something specific
- `unparented` => `parentless`: may mean something specific
- `metalness` => `metallicity`: may mean something specific
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? I did not test the changes,
most changes are related to raw text. I expect the others to be tested
by the CI.
- Are there any parts that need more testing? I do not think
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know? To me there is nothing to test
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
---
## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can
delete this section.
(kept in case I include the `reparameterize` change here)
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of
Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support
these changes
- Simply adding new functionality is not a breaking change.
- Fixing behavior that was definitely a bug, rather than a questionable
design choice is not a breaking change.
## Questions
- [x] Should I include the above typos? No
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16702#issuecomment-2525271152)
- [ ] Should I add `typos` to the CI? (I will check how to configure it
properly)
This project looks awesome, I really enjoy reading the progress made,
thanks to everyone involved.
# Objective
Animating component fields requires too much boilerplate at the moment:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = TextFont;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.font_size)
}
}
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new(
[0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0]
.into_iter()
.zip([24.0, 80.0, 24.0, 80.0, 24.0, 80.0, 24.0]),
)
.map(AnimatableCurve::<FontSizeProperty, _>::from_curve)
.expect("should be able to build translation curve because we pass in valid samples"),
);
```
## Solution
This adds `AnimatedField` and an `animated_field!` macro, enabling the
following:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableCurve::new(
animated_field!(TextFont::font_size),
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new(
[0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0]
.into_iter()
.zip([24.0, 80.0, 24.0, 80.0, 24.0, 80.0, 24.0]),
)
.expect(
"should be able to build translation curve because we pass in valid samples",
),
),
);
```
This required reworking the internals a bit, namely stripping out a lot
of the `Reflect` usage, as that implementation was fundamentally
incompatible with the `AnimatedField` pattern. `Reflect` was being used
in this context just to downcast traits. But we can get downcasting
behavior without the `Reflect` requirement by implementing `Downcast`
for `AnimationCurveEvaluator`.
This also reworks "evaluator identity" to support either a (Component /
Field) pair, or a TypeId. This allows properties to reuse evaluators,
even if they have different accessor methods. The "contract" here is
that for a given (Component / Field) pair, the accessor will return the
same value. Fields are identified by their Reflect-ed field index. The
(TypeId, usize) is prehashed and cached to optimize for lookup speed.
This removes the built-in hard-coded TranslationCurve / RotationCurve /
ScaleCurve in favor of AnimatableField.

# Objective
Needing to derive `AnimationEvent` for `Event` is unnecessary, and the
trigger logic coupled to it feels like we're coupling "event producer"
logic with the event itself, which feels wrong. It also comes with a
bunch of complexity, which is again unnecessary. We can have the
flexibility of "custom animation event trigger logic" without this
coupling and complexity.
The current `animation_events` example is also needlessly complicated,
due to it needing to work around system ordering issues. The docs
describing it are also slightly wrong. We can make this all a non-issue
by solving the underlying ordering problem.
Related to this, we use the `bevy_animation::Animation` system set to
solve PostUpdate animation order-of-operations issues. If we move this
to bevy_app as part of our "core schedule", we can cut out needless
`bevy_animation` crate dependencies in these instances.
## Solution
- Remove `AnimationEvent`, the derive, and all other infrastructure
associated with it (such as the `bevy_animation/derive` crate)
- Replace all instances of `AnimationEvent` traits with `Event + Clone`
- Store and use functions for custom animation trigger logic (ex:
`clip.add_event_fn()`). For "normal" cases users dont need to think
about this and should use the simpler `clip.add_event()`
- Run the `Animation` system set _before_ updating text
- Move `bevy_animation::Animation` to `bevy_app::Animation`. Remove
unnecessary `bevy_animation` dependency from `bevy_ui`
- Adjust `animation_events` example to use the simpler `clip.add_event`
API, as the workarounds are no longer necessary
This is polishing work that will land in 0.15, and I think it is simple
enough and valuable enough to land in 0.15 with it, in the interest of
making the feature as compelling as possible.
# Objective
We currently use special "floating" constructors for `EasingCurve`,
`FunctionCurve`, and `ConstantCurve` (ex: `easing_curve`). This erases
the type being created (and in general "what is happening"
structurally), for very minimal ergonomics improvements. With rare
exceptions, we prefer normal `X::new()` constructors over floating `x()`
constructors in Bevy. I don't think this use case merits special casing
here.
## Solution
Add `EasingCurve::new()`, use normal constructors everywhere, and remove
the floating constructors.
I think this should land in 0.15 in the interest of not breaking people
later.
# Objective
In the existing implementation, additive blending effectively treats the
node with least index specially by basically forcing its weight to be
`1.0` regardless of what its computed weight would be (based on the
weights in the `AnimationGraph` and `AnimationPlayer`).
Arguably this makes some amount of sense, because the "base" animation
is often one which was not authored to be used additively, meaning that
its sampled values are interpreted absolutely rather than as deltas.
However, this also leads to strange behavior with respect to animation
masks: if the "base" animation is masked out on some target, then the
next node is treated as the "base" animation, despite the fact that it
would normally be interpreted additively, and the weight of that
animation is thrown away as a result.
This is all kind of weird and revolves around special treatment (if the
behavior is even really intentional in the first place). From a
mathematical standpoint, there is nothing special about how the "base"
animation must be treated other than having a weight of 1.0 under an
`Add` node, which is something that the user can do without relying on
some bizarre corner-case behavior of the animation system — this is the
only present situation under which weights are discarded.
This PR changes this behavior so that the weight of every node is
incorporated. In other words, for an animation graph that looks like
this:
```text
┌───────────────┐
│Base clip ┼──┐
│ 0.5 │ │
└───────────────┘ │
┌───────────────┐ │ ┌───────────────┐ ┌────┐
│Additive clip 1┼──┼─►┤Additive blend ┼────►│Root│
│ 0.1 │ │ │ 1.0 │ └────┘
└───────────────┘ │ └───────────────┘
┌───────────────┐ │
│Additive clip 2┼──┘
│ 0.2 │
└───────────────┘
```
Previously, the result would have been
```text
base_clip + 0.1 * additive_clip_1 + 0.2 * additive_clip_2
```
whereas now it would be
```text
0.5 * base_clip + 0.1 * additive_clip_1 + 0.2 * additive_clip_2
```
and in the scenario where `base_clip` is masked out:
```text
additive_clip_1 + 0.2 * additive_clip_2
```
vs.
```text
0.1 * additive_clip_1 + 0.2 * additive_clip_2
```
## Solution
For background, the way that the additive blending procedure works is
something like this:
- During graph traversal, the node values and weights of the children
are pushed onto the evaluator `stack`. The traversal order guarantees
that the item with least node index will be on top.
- Once we reach the `Add` node itself, we start popping off the `stack`
and into the evaluator's `blend_register`, which is an accumulator
holding up to one weight-value pair:
- If the `blend_register` is empty, it is filled using data from the top
of the `stack`.
- Otherwise, the `blend_register` is combined with data popped from the
`stack` and updated.
In the example above, the additive blending steps would look like this
(with the pre-existing implementation):
1. The `blend_register` is empty, so we pop `(base_clip, 0.5)` from the
top of the `stack` and put it in. Now the value of the `blend_register`
is `(base_clip, 0.5)`.
2. The `blend_register` is non-empty: we pop `(additive_clip_1, 0.1)`
from the top of the `stack` and combine it additively with the value in
the `blend_register`, forming `(base_clip + 0.1 * additive_clip_1, 0.6)`
in the `blend_register` (the carried weight value goes unused).
3. The `blend_register` is non-empty: we pop `(additive_clip_2, 0.2)`
from the top of the `stack` and combine it additively with the value in
the `blend_register`, forming `(base_clip + 0.1 * additive_clip_1 + 0.2
* additive_clip_2, 0.8)` in the `blend_register`.
The solution in this PR changes step 1: the `base_clip` is multiplied by
its weight as it is added to the `blend_register` in the first place,
yielding `0.5 * base_clip + 0.1 * additive_clip_1 + 0.2 *
additive_clip_2` as the final result.
### Note for reviewers
It might be tempting to look at the code, which contains a segment that
looks like this:
```rust
if additive {
current_value = A::blend(
[
BlendInput {
weight: 1.0, // <--
value: current_value,
additive: true,
},
BlendInput {
weight: weight_to_blend,
value: value_to_blend,
additive: true,
},
]
.into_iter(),
);
}
```
and conclude that the explicit value of `1.0` is responsible for
overwriting the weight of the base animation. This is incorrect.
Rather, this additive blend has to be written this way because it is
multiplying the *existing value in the blend register* by 1 (i.e. not
doing anything) before adding the next value to it. Changing this to
another quantity (e.g. the existing weight) would cause the value in the
blend register to be spuriously multiplied down.
## Testing
Tested on `animation_masks` example. Checked `morph_weights` example as
well.
## Migration Guide
I will write a migration guide later if this change is not included in
0.15.
# Objective
In the animation example, there is the code `.add_systems(Update,
init_animations.before(animate_targets))`, where `animate_targets` is
added to the `PostUpdate` in the `AnimationPlugin`. Therefore, the
`.before(animate_targets)` here is ineffective and should be removed.
# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Fixes#15995
## Solution
Corrects a mistake made during the example migration in #15591.
`AnimationControl` was meant to be on the parent, not the child. So the
query in `update_ui` was no longer matching.
## Testing
`cargo run --example animation_masks`
# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
Fixes#15834
## Migration Guide
The APIs of `Time`, `Timer` and `Stopwatch` have been cleaned up for
consistency with each other and the standard library's `Duration` type.
The following methods have been renamed:
- `Stowatch::paused` -> `Stopwatch::is_paused`
- `Time::elapsed_seconds` -> `Time::elasped_secs` (including `_f64` and
`_wrapped` variants)
# Objective
Cleanup naming and docs, add missing migration guide after #15591
All text root nodes now use `Text` (UI) / `Text2d`.
All text readers/writers use `Text<Type>Reader`/`Text<Type>Writer`
convention.
---
## Migration Guide
Doubles as #15591 migration guide.
Text bundles (`TextBundle` and `Text2dBundle`) were removed in favor of
`Text` and `Text2d`.
Shared configuration fields were replaced with `TextLayout`, `TextFont`
and `TextColor` components.
Just `TextBundle`'s additional field turned into `TextNodeFlags`
component,
while `Text2dBundle`'s additional fields turned into `TextBounds` and
`Anchor` components.
Text sections were removed in favor of hierarchy-based approach.
For root text entities with `Text` or `Text2d` components, child
entities with `TextSpan` will act as additional text sections.
To still access text spans by index, use the new `TextUiReader`,
`Text2dReader` and `TextUiWriter`, `Text2dWriter` system parameters.
# Objective
- Required components replace bundles, but `SpatialBundle` is yet to be
deprecated
## Solution
- Deprecate `SpatialBundle`
- Insert `Transform` and `Visibility` instead in examples using it
- In `spawn` or `insert` inserting a default `Transform` or `Visibility`
with component already requiring either, remove those components from
the tuple
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Yes, I ran the examples I changed and tests
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
The `gamepad_viewer` and and `custom_shader_instancing` examples don't
work as intended due to entirely unrelated code, didn't check main.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
Run examples, or just check that all spawned values are identical
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Linux, wayland trough x11 (cause that's the default feature)
---
## Migration Guide
`SpatialBundle` is now deprecated, insert `Transform` and `Visibility`
instead which will automatically insert all other components that were
in the bundle. If you do not specify these values and any other
components in your `spawn`/`insert` call already requires either of
these components you can leave that one out.
before:
```rust
commands.spawn(SpatialBundle::default());
```
after:
```rust
commands.spawn((Transform::default(), Visibility::default());
```
# Objective
Currently text is recomputed unnecessarily on any changes to its color,
which is extremely expensive.
## Solution
Split up `TextStyle` into two separate components `TextFont` and
`TextColor`.
## Testing
I added this system to `many_buttons`:
```rust
fn set_text_colors_changed(mut colors: Query<&mut TextColor>) {
for mut text_color in colors.iter_mut() {
text_color.set_changed();
}
}
```
reports ~4fps on main, ~50fps with this PR.
## Migration Guide
`TextStyle` has been renamed to `TextFont` and its `color` field has
been moved to a separate component named `TextColor` which newtypes
`Color`.
# Objective
This example uses `println` from a system, which we don't advise people
do. It also gives no context for the debug prints, which I assumed to be
stray debug code at first.
## Solution
Use `info!`, and add a small amount of context so the console output
looks deliberate.
## Testing
`cargo run --example morph_targets`
# Objective
- Closes#15716
- Closes#15718
## Solution
- Replace `Handle<MeshletMesh>` with a new `MeshletMesh3d` component
- As expected there were some random things that needed fixing:
- A couple tests were storing handles just to prevent them from being
dropped I believe, which seems to have been unnecessary in some.
- The `SpriteBundle` still had a `Handle<Image>` field. I've removed
this.
- Tests in `bevy_sprite` incorrectly added a `Handle<Image>` field
outside of the `Sprite` component.
- A few examples were still inserting `Handle`s, switched those to their
corresponding wrappers.
- 2 examples that were still querying for `Handle<Image>` were changed
to query `Sprite`
## Testing
- I've verified that the changed example work now
## Migration Guide
`Handle` can no longer be used as a `Component`. All existing Bevy types
using this pattern have been wrapped in their own semantically
meaningful type. You should do the same for any custom `Handle`
components your project needs.
The `Handle<MeshletMesh>` component is now `MeshletMesh3d`.
The `WithMeshletMesh` type alias has been removed. Use
`With<MeshletMesh3d>` instead.
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. 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.

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.

# Objective
Continue migration of bevy APIs to required components, following
guidance of https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/
## Solution
- Make `Sprite` require `Transform` and `Visibility` and
`SyncToRenderWorld`
- move image and texture atlas handles into `Sprite`
- deprecate `SpriteBundle`
- remove engine uses of `SpriteBundle`
## Testing
ran cargo tests on bevy_sprite and tested several sprite examples.
---
## Migration Guide
Replace all uses of `SpriteBundle` with `Sprite`. There are several new
convenience constructors: `Sprite::from_image`,
`Sprite::from_atlas_image`, `Sprite::from_color`.
WARNING: use of `Handle<Image>` and `TextureAtlas` as components on
sprite entities will NO LONGER WORK. Use the fields on `Sprite` instead.
I would have removed the `Component` impls from `TextureAtlas` and
`Handle<Image>` except it is still used within ui. We should fix this
moving forward with the migration.
# Objective
- Closes#15752
Calling the functions `App::observe` and `World::observe` doesn't make
sense because you're not "observing" the `App` or `World`, you're adding
an observer that listens for an event that occurs *within* the `World`.
We should rename them to better fit this.
## Solution
Renames:
- `App::observe` -> `App::add_observer`
- `World::observe` -> `World::add_observer`
- `Commands::observe` -> `Commands::add_observer`
- `EntityWorldMut::observe_entity` -> `EntityWorldMut::observe`
(Note this isn't a breaking change as the original rename was introduced
earlier this cycle.)
## Testing
Reusing current tests.
# Objective
- Closes#15717
## Solution
- Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `AnimationGraphHandle`.
## Testing
Searched for all instances of `AnimationGraph` in the examples and
updated and tested those
## Migration Guide
`Handle<AnimationGraph>` is no longer a component. Instead, use the
`AnimationGraphHandle` component which contains a
`Handle<AnimationGraph>`.
# Objective
- After #15711 which added a column to the example, the point of a curve
was too close to the next curve
## Solution
- Make it closer to its own
# Objective
Simplify the API surrounding easing curves. Broaden the base of types
that support easing.
## Solution
There is now a single library function, `easing_curve`, which constructs
a unit-parametrized easing curve between two values based on an
`EaseFunction`:
```rust
/// Given a `start` and `end` value, create a curve parametrized over [the unit interval]
/// that connects them, using the given [ease function] to determine the form of the
/// curve in between.
///
/// [the unit interval]: Interval::UNIT
/// [ease function]: EaseFunction
pub fn easing_curve<T: Ease>(start: T, end: T, ease_fn: EaseFunction) -> EasingCurve<T> { //... }
```
As this shows, the type of the output curve is generic only in `T`. In
particular, as long as `T` is `Reflect` (and `FromReflect` etc. — i.e.,
a standard "well-behaved" reflectable type), `EasingCurve<T>` is also
`Reflect`, and there is no special field handling nonsense. Therefore,
`EasingCurve` is the kind of thing that would be able to be easily
changed in an editor. This is made possible by storing the actual
`EaseFunction` on `EasingCurve<T>` instead of indirecting through some
kind of function type (which generally leads to issues with reflection).
The types that can be eased are those that implement a trait `Ease`:
```rust
/// A type whose values can be eased between.
///
/// This requires the construction of an interpolation curve that actually extends
/// beyond the curve segment that connects two values, because an easing curve may
/// extrapolate before the starting value and after the ending value. This is
/// especially common in easing functions that mimic elastic or springlike behavior.
pub trait Ease: Sized {
/// Given `start` and `end` values, produce a curve with [unlimited domain]
/// that:
/// - takes a value equivalent to `start` at `t = 0`
/// - takes a value equivalent to `end` at `t = 1`
/// - has constant speed everywhere, including outside of `[0, 1]`
///
/// [unlimited domain]: Interval::EVERYWHERE
fn interpolating_curve_unbounded(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> impl Curve<Self>;
}
```
(I know, I know, yet *another* interpolation trait. See 'Future
direction'.)
The other existing easing functions from the previous version of this
module have also become new members of `EaseFunction`: `Linear`,
`Steps`, and `Elastic` (which maybe needs a different name). The latter
two are parametrized.
## Testing
Tested using the `easing_functions` example. I also axed the
`cubic_curve` example which was of questionable value and replaced it
with `eased_motion`, which uses this API in the context of animation:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c802992-6b9b-4b56-aeb1-a47501c29ce2
---
## Future direction
Morally speaking, `Ease` is incredibly similar to `StableInterpolate`.
Probably, we should just merge `StableInterpolate` into `Ease`, and then
make `SmoothNudge` an automatic extension trait of `Ease`. The reason I
didn't do that is that `StableInterpolate` is not implemented for
`VectorSpace` because of concerns about the `Color` types, and I wanted
to avoid controversy. I think that may be a good idea though.
As Alice mentioned before, we should also probably get rid of the
`interpolation` dependency.
The parametrized `Elastic` variant probably also needs some additional
work (e.g. renaming, in/out/in-out variants, etc.) if we want to keep
it.
# Objective
Enhance the [custom skinned mesh
example](https://bevyengine.org/examples/animation/custom-skinned-mesh/)
to show some variety and clarify what the transform does to the mesh.
## Solution
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c919db74-6e77-4f33-ba43-0f40a88042b3
Add variety and clarity with the following changes:
- vary transform changes,
- use a UV texture,
- and show transform changes via gizmos.
(Maybe it'd be worth turning on wireframe rendering to show what happens
to the mesh. I think it'd be nice visually but might make the code a
little noisy.)
## Testing
I exercised it on my x86 macOS computer. It'd be good to have it
validated on Windows, Linux, and WASM.
---
## Showcase
- Custom skinned mesh example varies the transforms changes and uses a
UV test texture.
# Objective
- Followup to #15675
- Add an example showcasing the functions
## Solution
- Add an example showcasing the functions
- Some of the functions from the interpolation crate are messed up,
fixed in #15706

# Objective
Add support for events that can be triggered from animation clips. This
is useful when you need something to happen at a specific time in an
animation. For example, playing a sound every time a characters feet
hits the ground when walking.
Closes#15494
## Solution
Added a new field to `AnimationClip`: `events`, which contains a list of
`AnimationEvent`s. These are automatically triggered in
`animate_targets` and `trigger_untargeted_animation_events`.
## Testing
Added a couple of tests and example (`animation_events.rs`) to make sure
events are triggered when expected.
---
## Showcase
`Events` need to also implement `AnimationEvent` and `Reflect` to be
used with animations.
```rust
#[derive(Event, AnimationEvent, Reflect)]
struct SomeEvent;
```
Events can be added to an `AnimationClip` by specifying a time and
event.
```rust
// trigger an event after 1.0 second
animation_clip.add_event(1.0, SomeEvent);
```
And optionally, providing a target id.
```rust
let id = AnimationTargetId::from_iter(["shoulder", "arm", "hand"]);
animation_clip.add_event_to_target(id, 1.0, HandEvent);
```
I modified the `animated_fox` example to show off the feature.

Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,

## Solution
As per the [selected

deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`

Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.

## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
*Additive blending* is an ubiquitous feature in game engines that allows
animations to be concatenated instead of blended. The canonical use case
is to allow a character to hold a weapon while performing arbitrary
poses. For example, if you had a character that needed to be able to
walk or run while attacking with a weapon, the typical workflow is to
have an additive blend node that combines walking and running animation
clips with an animation clip of one of the limbs performing a weapon
attack animation.
This commit adds support for additive blending to Bevy. It builds on top
of the flexible infrastructure in #15589 and introduces a new type of
node, the *add node*. Like blend nodes, add nodes combine the animations
of their children according to their weights. Unlike blend nodes,
however, add nodes don't normalize the weights to 1.0.
The `animation_masks` example has been overhauled to demonstrate the use
of additive blending in combination with masks. There are now controls
to choose an animation clip for every limb of the fox individually.
This patch also fixes a bug whereby masks were incorrectly accumulated
with `insert()` during the graph threading phase, which could cause
corruption of computed masks in some cases.
Note that the `clip` field has been replaced with an `AnimationNodeType`
enum, which breaks `animgraph.ron` files. The `Fox.animgraph.ron` asset
has been updated to the new format.
Closes#14395.

## Migration Guide
* The `animgraph.ron` format has changed to accommodate the new
*additive blending* feature. You'll need to change `clip` fields to
instances of the new `AnimationNodeType` enum.
This is an updated version of #15530. Review comments were addressed.
This commit changes the animation graph evaluation to be operate in a
more sensible order and updates the semantics of blend nodes to conform
to [the animation composition RFC]. Prior to this patch, a node graph
like this:
```
┌─────┐
│ │
│ 1 │
│ │
└──┬──┘
│
┌───────┴───────┐
│ │
▼ ▼
┌─────┐ ┌─────┐

│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
└─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘
```
Would be evaluated as (((4 ⊕ 5) ⊕ 6) ⊕ 7), with the blend (lerp/slerp)
operation notated as ⊕. As quaternion multiplication isn't commutative,
this is very counterintuitive and will especially lead to trouble with
the forthcoming additive blending feature (#15198).
This patch fixes the issue by changing the evaluation order to
postorder, with children of a node evaluated in ascending order by node
index.
To do so, this patch revamps `AnimationCurve` to be based on an
*evaluation stack* and a *blend register*. During target evaluation, the
graph evaluator traverses the graph in postorder. When encountering a
clip node, the evaluator pushes the possibly-interpolated value onto the
evaluation stack. When encountering a blend node, the evaluator pops
values off the stack into the blend register, accumulating weights as
appropriate. When the graph is completely evaluated, the top element on
the stack is *committed* to the property of the component.
A new system, the *graph threading* system, is added in order to cache
the sorted postorder traversal to avoid the overhead of sorting children
at animation evaluation time. Mask evaluation has been moved to this
system so that the graph only has to be traversed at most once per
frame. Unlike the `ActiveAnimation` list, the *threaded graph* is cached
from frame to frame and only has to be regenerated when the animation
graph asset changes.
This patch currently regresses the `animate_target` performance in
`many_foxes` by around 50%, resulting in an FPS loss of about 2-3 FPS.
I'd argue that this is an acceptable price to pay for a much more
intuitive system. In the future, we can mitigate the regression with a
fast path that avoids consulting the graph if only one animation is
playing. However, in the interest of keeping this patch simple, I didn't
do so here.

# Objective
A step in the migration to required components: scenes!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FPJtNGVMMQhyM0zIvCJSkbA):
- Deprecate `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle`.
- Add `SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components, which wrap a
`Handle<Scene>` and `Handle<DynamicScene>` respectively.
## Migration Guide
Asset handles for scenes and dynamic scenes must now be wrapped in the
`SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components. Raw handles as components
no longer spawn scenes.
Additionally, `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle` have been
deprecated. Instead, use the scene components directly.
Previously:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));
commands.spawn(SceneBundle {
scene: model_scene,
transform: Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));
commands.spawn((
SceneRoot(model_scene),
Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
));
```
# 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:


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>`.

## Testing
I ran some examples with lights.

## Migration Guide
`PointLightBundle`, `SpotLightBundle`, and `DirectionalLightBundle` have
been deprecated. Use the `PointLight`, `SpotLight`, and

other components required by them automatically.
# Objective
This PR extends and reworks the material from #15282 by allowing
arbitrary curves to be used by the animation system to animate arbitrary
properties. The goals of this work are to:
- Allow far greater flexibility in how animations are allowed to be
defined in order to be used with `bevy_animation`.
- Delegate responsibility over keyframe interpolation to `bevy_math` and
the `Curve` libraries and reduce reliance on keyframes in animation
definitions generally.
- Move away from allowing the glTF spec to completely define animations
on a mechanical level.
## Solution
### Overview
At a high level, curves have been incorporated into the animation system
using the `AnimationCurve` trait (closely related to what was
`Keyframes`). From the top down:
1. In `animate_targets`, animations are driven by `VariableCurve`, which
is now a thin wrapper around a `Box<dyn AnimationCurve>`.
2. `AnimationCurve` is something built out of a `Curve`, and it tells
the animation system how to use the curve's output to actually mutate
component properties. The trait looks like this:
```rust
/// A low-level trait that provides control over how curves are actually applied to entities
/// by the animation system.
///
/// Typically, this will not need to be implemented manually, since it is automatically
/// implemented by [`AnimatableCurve`] and other curves used by the animation system
/// (e.g. those that animate parts of transforms or morph weights). However, this can be
/// implemented manually when `AnimatableCurve` is not sufficiently expressive.
///
/// In many respects, this behaves like a type-erased form of [`Curve`], where the output
/// type of the curve is remembered only in the components that are mutated in the
/// implementation of [`apply`].
///
/// [`apply`]: AnimationCurve::apply
pub trait AnimationCurve: Reflect + Debug + Send + Sync {
/// Returns a boxed clone of this value.
fn clone_value(&self) -> Box<dyn AnimationCurve>;
/// The range of times for which this animation is defined.
fn domain(&self) -> Interval;
/// Write the value of sampling this curve at time `t` into `transform` or `entity`,
/// as appropriate, interpolating between the existing value and the sampled value
/// using the given `weight`.
fn apply<'a>(
&self,
t: f32,
transform: Option<Mut<'a, Transform>>,
entity: EntityMutExcept<'a, (Transform, AnimationPlayer, Handle<AnimationGraph>)>,
weight: f32,
) -> Result<(), AnimationEvaluationError>;
}
```
3. The conversion process from a `Curve` to an `AnimationCurve` involves
using wrappers which communicate the intent to animate a particular
property. For example, here is `TranslationCurve`, which wraps a
`Curve<Vec3>` and uses it to animate `Transform::translation`:
```rust
/// This type allows a curve valued in `Vec3` to become an [`AnimationCurve`] that animates
/// the translation component of a transform.
pub struct TranslationCurve<C>(pub C);
```
### Animatable Properties
The `AnimatableProperty` trait survives in the transition, and it can be
used to allow curves to animate arbitrary component properties. The
updated documentation for `AnimatableProperty` explains this process:
<details>
<summary>Expand AnimatableProperty example</summary
An `AnimatableProperty` is a value on a component that Bevy can animate.
You can implement this trait on a unit struct in order to support
animating
custom components other than transforms and morph weights. Use that type
in
conjunction with `AnimatableCurve` (and perhaps
`AnimatableKeyframeCurve`
to define the animation itself). For example, in order to animate font
size of a
text section from 24 pt. to 80 pt., you might use:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = Text;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
}
}
```
You can then create an `AnimationClip` to animate this property like so:
```rust
let mut animation_clip = AnimationClip::default();
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new(
[
(0.0, 24.0),
(1.0, 80.0),
]
)
.map(AnimatableCurve::<FontSizeProperty, _>::from_curve)
.expect("Failed to create font size curve")
);
```
Here, the use of `AnimatableKeyframeCurve` creates a curve out of the
given keyframe time-value
pairs, using the `Animatable` implementation of `f32` to interpolate
between them. The
invocation of `AnimatableCurve::from_curve` with `FontSizeProperty`
indicates that the `f32`
output from that curve is to be used to animate the font size of a
`Text` component (as
configured above).
</details>
### glTF Loading
glTF animations are now loaded into `Curve` types of various kinds,
depending on what is being animated and what interpolation mode is being
used. Those types get wrapped into and converted into `Box<dyn
AnimationCurve>` and shoved inside of a `VariableCurve` just like
everybody else.
### Morph Weights
There is an `IterableCurve` abstraction which allows sampling these from
a contiguous buffer without allocating. Its only reason for existing is
that Rust disallows you from naming function types, otherwise we would
just use `Curve` with an iterator output type. (The iterator involves
`Map`, and the name of the function type would have to be able to be
named, but it is not.)
A `WeightsCurve` adaptor turns an `IterableCurve` into an
`AnimationCurve`, so it behaves like everything else in that regard.
## Testing
Tested by running existing animation examples. Interpolation logic has
had additional tests added within the `Curve` API to replace the tests
in `bevy_animation`. Some kinds of out-of-bounds errors have become
impossible.
Performance testing on `many_foxes` (`animate_targets`) suggests that
performance is very similar to the existing implementation. Here are a
couple trace histograms across different runs (yellow is this branch,
red is main).

## Migration Guide
Most user code that does not directly deal with `AnimationClip` and
`VariableCurve` will not need to be changed. On the other hand,
`VariableCurve` has been completely overhauled. If you were previously
defining animation curves in code using keyframes, you will need to
migrate that code to use curve constructors instead. For example, a
rotation animation defined using keyframes and added to an animation
clip like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
VariableCurve {
keyframe_timestamps: vec![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
keyframes: Keyframes::Rotation(vec![
Quat::IDENTITY,
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
Quat::IDENTITY,
]),
interpolation: Interpolation::Linear,
},
);
```
would now be added like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new([0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0].into_iter().zip([
Quat::IDENTITY,
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
Quat::IDENTITY,
]))
.map(RotationCurve)
.expect("Failed to build rotation curve"),
);
```
Note that the interface of `AnimationClip::add_curve_to_target` has also
changed (as this example shows, if subtly), and now takes its curve
input as an `impl AnimationCurve`. If you need to add a `VariableCurve`
directly, a new method `add_variable_curve_to_target` accommodates that
(and serves as a one-to-one migration in this regard).
### For reviewers
The diff is pretty big, and the structure of some of the changes might
not be super-obvious:
- `keyframes.rs` became `animation_curves.rs`, and `AnimationCurve` is
based heavily on `Keyframes`, with the adaptors also largely following
suite.
- The Curve API adaptor structs were moved from `bevy_math::curve::mod`
into their own module `adaptors`. There are no functional changes to how
these adaptors work; this is just to make room for the specialized
reflection implementations since `mod.rs` was getting kind of cramped.
- The new module `gltf_curves` holds the additional curve constructions
that are needed by the glTF loader. Note that the loader uses a mix of
these and off-the-shelf `bevy_math` curve stuff.
- `animatable.rs` no longer holds logic related to keyframe
interpolation, which is now delegated to the existing abstractions in
`bevy_math::curve::cores`.
