# Objective
Make APIs more consistent and ergonomic by adding a `new` constructor
for `Circle` and `Sphere`.
This could be seen as a redundant "trivial constructor", but in
practise, it seems valuable to me. I have lots of cases where formatting
becomes ugly because of the lack of a constructor, like this:
```rust
Circle {
radius: self.radius(),
}
.contains_local_point(centered_pt)
```
With `new`, it'd be formatted much nicer:
```rust
Circle::new(self.radius()).contains_local_point(centered_pt)
```
Of course, this is just one example, but my circle/sphere definitions
very frequently span three or more lines when they could fit on one.
Adding `new` also increases consistency. `Ellipse` has `new` already,
and so does the mesh version of `Circle`.
## Solution
Add a `new` constructor for `Circle` and `Sphere`.
# Objective
#10946 added bounding volume types and an `IntersectsVolume` trait, but
didn't actually implement intersections between bounding volumes.
This PR implements AABB-AABB, circle-circle / sphere-sphere, and
AABB-circle / AABB-sphere intersections.
## Solution
Implement `IntersectsVolume` for bounding volume pairs. I also added
`closest_point` methods to return the closest point on the surface /
inside of bounding volumes. This is used for AABB-circle / AABB-sphere
intersections.

# Objective
`Direction2d::from_normalized` & `Direction3d::from_normalized` don't
emphasize that importance of the vector being normalized enough.
## Solution
Rename `from_normalized` to `new_unchecked` and add more documentation.
---
`Direction2d` and `Direction3d` were added somewhat recently in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10466 (after 0.12), so I don't
think documenting the changelog and migration guide is necessary (Since
there is no major previous version to migrate from).
But here it is anyway in case it's needed:
## Changelog
- Renamed `Direction2d::from_normalized` and
`Direction3d::from_normalized` to `new_unchecked`.
## Migration Guide
- Renamed `Direction2d::from_normalized` and
`Direction3d::from_normalized` to `new_unchecked`.

# Objective
Currently, the `primitives` module is inside of the prelude for
`bevy_math`, but the actual primitives are not. This requires either
importing the shapes everywhere that uses them, or adding the
`primitives::` prefix:
```rust
let rectangle = meshes.add(primitives::Rectangle::new(5.0, 2.5));
```
(Note: meshing isn't actually implemented yet, but it's in #11431)
The primitives are meant to be used for a variety of tasks across
several crates, like for meshing, bounding volumes, gizmos, colliders,
and so on, so I think having them in the prelude is justified. It would
make several common tasks a lot more ergonomic.
```rust
let rectangle = meshes.add(Rectangle::new(5.0, 2.5));
```
## Solution
Add `primitives::*` to `bevy_math::prelude`.

# Objective
Currently, the only way to create an AABB is to specify its `min` and
`max` coordinates. However, it's often more useful to use the center and
half-size instead.
## Solution
Add `new` constructors for `Aabb2d` and `Aabb3d`.
This:
```rust
let aabb = Aabb3d {
min: center - half_size,
max: center + half_size,
}
```
becomes this:
```rust
let aabb = Aabb3d::new(center, half_size);
```
I also made the usage of "half-extents" vs. "half-size" a bit more
consistent.
# Objective
Currently, the `Ellipse` primitive is represented by a `half_width` and
`half_height`. To improve consistency (similarly to #11434), it might
make more sense to use a `Vec2` `half_size` instead.
Alternatively, to make the elliptical nature clearer, the properties
could also be called `radius_x` and `radius_y`.
Secondly, `Ellipse::new` currently takes a *full* width and height
instead of two radii. I would expect it to take the half-width and
half-height because ellipses and circles are almost always defined using
radii. I wouldn't expect `Circle::new` to take a diameter (if we had
that method).
## Solution
Change `Ellipse` to store a `half_size` and `new` to take the half-width
and half-height.
I also added a `from_size` method similar to `Rectangle::from_size`, and
added the `semi_minor` and `semi_major` helpers to get the
semi-minor/major radius.
# Objective
The `Rectangle` and `Cuboid` primitives currently use different
representations:
```rust
pub struct Rectangle {
/// The half width of the rectangle
pub half_width: f32,
/// The half height of the rectangle
pub half_height: f32,
}
pub struct Cuboid {
/// Half of the width, height and depth of the cuboid
pub half_extents: Vec3,
}
```
The property names and helpers are also inconsistent. `Cuboid` has
`half_extents`, but it also has a method called `from_size`. Most
existing code also uses "size" instead of "extents".
## Solution
Represent both `Rectangle` and `Cuboid` with `half_size` properties.
# Objective
Closes#10570.
#10946 added bounding volume types and traits, but didn't use them for
anything yet. This PR implements `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` for Bevy's
primitive shapes.
## Solution
Implement `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` for primitive shapes. This allows
computing AABBs and bounding circles/spheres for them.
For most shapes, there are several ways of implementing bounding
volumes. I took inspiration from [Parry's bounding
volumes](https://github.com/dimforge/parry/tree/master/src/bounding_volume),
[Inigo Quilez](http://iquilezles.org/articles/diskbbox/), and figured
out the rest myself using geometry. I tried to comment all slightly
non-trivial or unclear math to make it understandable.
Parry uses support mapping (finding the farthest point in some direction
for convex shapes) for some AABBs like cones, cylinders, and line
segments. This involves several quat operations and normalizations, so I
opted for the simpler and more efficient geometric approaches shown in
[Quilez's article](http://iquilezles.org/articles/diskbbox/).
Below you can see some of the bounding volumes working in 2D and 3D.
Note that I can't conveniently add these examples yet because they use
primitive shape meshing, which is still WIP.

---
## Changelog
- Implemented `Bounded2d`/`Bounded3d` for primitive shapes
- Added `from_point_cloud` method for bounding volumes (used by many
bounding implementations)
- Added `point_cloud_2d/3d_center` and `rotate_vec2` utility functions
- Added `RegularPolygon::vertices` method (used in regular polygon AABB
construction)
- Added `Triangle::circumcenter` method (used in triangle bounding
circle construction)
- Added bounding circle/sphere creation from AABBs and vice versa
## Extra
Do we want to implement `Bounded2d` for some "3D-ish" shapes too? For
example, capsules are sort of dimension-agnostic and useful for 2D, so I
think that would be good to implement. But a cylinder in 2D is just a
rectangle, and a cone is a triangle, so they wouldn't make as much sense
to me. A conical frustum would be an isosceles trapezoid, which could be
useful, but I'm not sure if computing the 2D AABB of a 3D frustum makes
semantic sense.
# Objective
- Implementing `Default` for
[`CubicCurve`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/math/cubic_splines/struct.CubicCurve.html)
does not make sense because it cannot be mutated after creation.
- Closes#11209.
- Alternative to #11211.
## Solution
- Remove `Default` from `CubicCurve`'s derive statement.
Based off of @mockersf comment
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11211#issuecomment-1880088036):
> CubicCurve can't be updated once created... I would prefer to remove
the Default impl as it doesn't make sense
---
## Changelog
- Removed the `Default` implementation for `CubicCurve`.
## Migration Guide
- Remove `CubicCurve` from any structs that implement `Default`.
- Wrap `CubicCurve` in a new type and provide your own default.
```rust
#[derive(Deref)]
struct MyCubicCurve<P: Point>(pub CubicCurve<P>);
impl Default for MyCubicCurve<Vec2> {
fn default() -> Self {
let points = [[
vec2(-1.0, -20.0),
vec2(3.0, 2.0),
vec2(5.0, 3.0),
vec2(9.0, 8.0),
]];
Self(CubicBezier::new(points).to_curve())
}
}
```
# Objective
Implement bounding volume trait and the 4 types from
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10570. I will add intersection
tests in a future PR.
## Solution
Implement mostly everything as written in the issue, except:
- Intersection is no longer a method on the bounding volumes, but a
separate trait.
- I implemented a `visible_area` since it's the most common usecase to
care about the surface that could collide with cast rays.
- Maybe we want both?
---
## Changelog
- Added bounding volume types to bevy_math
---------
Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>
Update to `glam` 0.25, `encase` 0.7 and `hexasphere` to 10.0
## Changelog
Added the `FloatExt` trait to the `bevy_math` prelude which adds `lerp`,
`inverse_lerp` and `remap` methods to the `f32` and `f64` types.
# Objective
When creating a normalized direction from a vector, it can be useful to
get both the direction *and* the original length of the vector.
This came up when I was recreating some Parry APIs using bevy_math, and
doing it manually is quite painful. Nalgebra calls this method
[`Unit::try_new_and_get`](https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/base/struct.Unit.html#method.try_new_and_get).
## Solution
Add a `new_and_length` method to `Direction2d` and `Direction3d`.
Usage:
```rust
if let Ok((direction, length)) = Direction2d::new_and_length(Vec2::X * 10.0) {
assert_eq!(direction, Vec2::X);
assert_eq!(length, 10.0);
}
```
I'm open to different names, couldn't come up with a perfectly clear one
that isn't too long. My reasoning with the current name is that it's
like using `new` and calling `length` on the original vector.
# Objective
Different platforms use their own implementations of several
mathematical functions (especially transcendental functions like sin,
cos, tan, atan, and so on) to provide hardware-level optimization using
intrinsics. This is good for performance, but bad when you expect
consistent outputs across machines.
[`libm`](https://github.com/rust-lang/libm) is a widely used crate that
provides mathematical functions that don't use intrinsics like `std`
functions. This allows bit-for-bit deterministic math across hardware,
which is crucial for things like cross-platform deterministic physics
simulation.
Glam has the `libm` feature for using [`libm` for the
math](d2871a151b/src/f32/math.rs (L35))
in its own types. This would be nice to expose as a feature in
`bevy_math`.
## Solution
Add `libm` feature to `bevy_math`. We could name it something like
`enhanced-determinism`, but this wouldn't be accurate for the rest of
Bevy, so I think just `libm` is more fitting and explicit.
# Objective
`bevy_math` re-exports Glam, but doesn't have a feature for enabling
`approx` for it. Many projects (including some of Bevy's own crates)
need `approx`, and it'd be nice if you didn't have to manually add Glam
to specify the feature for it.
## Solution
Add an `approx` feature to `bevy_math`.
# Objective
I often need a direction along one of the cartesian XYZ axes, and it
currently requires e.g. `Direction2d::from_normalized(Vec2::X)`, which
isn't ideal.
## Solution
Add direction constants that are the same as the ones on Glam types. I
also copied the doc comment format "A unit vector pointing along the ...
axis", but I can change it if there's a better wording for directions.
# Objective
I frequently encounter cases where I need to get the opposite direction.
This currently requires something like
`Direction2d::from_normalized(-*direction)`, which is very inconvenient.
## Solution
Implement `Neg` for `Direction2d` and `Direction3d`.
# Objective
There are a lot of doctests that are `ignore`d for no documented reason.
And that should be fixed.
## Solution
I searched the bevy repo with the regex ` ```[a-z,]*ignore ` in order to
find all `ignore`d doctests. For each one of the `ignore`d doctests, I
did the following steps:
1. Attempt to remove the `ignored` attribute while still passing the
test. I did this by adding hidden dummy structs and imports.
2. If step 1 doesn't work, attempt to replace the `ignored` attribute
with the `no_run` attribute while still passing the test.
3. If step 2 doesn't work, keep the `ignored` attribute but add
documentation for why the `ignored` attribute was added.

# Objective
- Fix an inconsistency in the calculation of aspect ratio's.
- Fixes#10288
## Solution
- Created an intermediate `AspectRatio` struct, as suggested in the
issue. This is currently just used in any places where aspect ratio
calculations happen, to prevent doing it wrong. In my and @mamekoro 's
opinion, it would be better if this was used instead of a normal `f32`
in various places, but I didn't want to make too many changes to begin
with.
## Migration Guide
- Anywhere where you are currently expecting a f32 when getting aspect
ratios, you will now receive a `AspectRatio` struct. this still holds
the same value.

# Objective
Make direction construction a bit more ergonomic.
## Solution
Add `Direction2d::from_xy` and `Direction3d::from_xyz`, similar to
`Transform::from_xyz`:
```rust
let dir2 = Direction2d::from_xy(0.5, 0.5).unwrap();
let dir3 = Direction3d::from_xyz(0.5, 0.5, 0.5).unwrap();
```
This can be a bit cleaner than using `new`:
```rust
let dir2 = Direction2d::new(Vec2::new(0.5, 0.5)).unwrap();
let dir3 = Direction3d::new(Vec3::new(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)).unwrap();
```
# Objective
A better alternative version of #10843.
Currently, Bevy has a single `Ray` struct for 3D. To allow better
interoperability with Bevy's primitive shapes (#10572) and some third
party crates (that handle e.g. spatial queries), it would be very useful
to have separate versions for 2D and 3D respectively.
## Solution
Separate `Ray` into `Ray2d` and `Ray3d`. These new structs also take
advantage of the new primitives by using `Direction2d`/`Direction3d` for
the direction:
```rust
pub struct Ray2d {
pub origin: Vec2,
pub direction: Direction2d,
}
pub struct Ray3d {
pub origin: Vec3,
pub direction: Direction3d,
}
```
and by using `Plane2d`/`Plane3d` in `intersect_plane`:
```rust
impl Ray2d {
// ...
pub fn intersect_plane(&self, plane_origin: Vec2, plane: Plane2d) -> Option<f32> {
// ...
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Ray2d` and `Ray3d`
- `Ray2d::new` and `Ray3d::new` constructors
- `Plane2d::new` and `Plane3d::new` constructors
### Removed
- Removed `Ray` in favor of `Ray3d`
### Changed
- `direction` is now a `Direction2d`/`Direction3d` instead of a vector,
which provides guaranteed normalization
- `intersect_plane` now takes a `Plane2d`/`Plane3d` instead of just a
vector for the plane normal
- `Direction2d` and `Direction3d` now derive `Serialize` and
`Deserialize` to preserve ray (de)serialization
## Migration Guide
`Ray` has been renamed to `Ray3d`.
### Ray creation
Before:
```rust
Ray {
origin: Vec3::ZERO,
direction: Vec3::new(0.5, 0.6, 0.2).normalize(),
}
```
After:
```rust
// Option 1:
Ray3d {
origin: Vec3::ZERO,
direction: Direction3d::new(Vec3::new(0.5, 0.6, 0.2)).unwrap(),
}
// Option 2:
Ray3d::new(Vec3::ZERO, Vec3::new(0.5, 0.6, 0.2))
```
### Plane intersections
Before:
```rust
let result = ray.intersect_plane(Vec2::X, Vec2::Y);
```
After:
```rust
let result = ray.intersect_plane(Vec2::X, Plane2d::new(Vec2::Y));
```
# Objective
Implement `TryFrom<Vec2>`/`TryFrom<Vec3>` for direction primitives as
considered in #10857.
## Solution
Implement `TryFrom` for the direction primitives.
These are all equivalent:
```rust
let dir2d = Direction2d::try_from(Vec2::new(0.5, 0.5)).unwrap();
let dir2d = Vec2::new(0.5, 0.5).try_into().unwrap(); // (assumes that the type is inferred)
let dir2d = Direction2d::new(Vec2::new(0.5, 0.5)).unwrap();
```
For error cases, an `Err(InvalidDirectionError)` is returned. It
contains the type of failure:
```rust
/// An error indicating that a direction is invalid.
#[derive(Debug, PartialEq)]
pub enum InvalidDirectionError {
/// The length of the direction vector is zero or very close to zero.
Zero,
/// The length of the direction vector is `std::f32::INFINITY`.
Infinite,
/// The length of the direction vector is `NaN`.
NaN,
}
```
This removes the `From<Vec2/3>` implementations for the direction types.
It doesn't seem right to have when it only works if the vector is
nonzero and finite and produces NaN otherwise.
Added `Direction2d/3d::new` which uses `Vec2/3::try_normalize` to
guarantee it returns either a valid direction or `None`.
This should make it impossible to create an invalid direction, which I
think was the intention with these types.
# Objective
First, some terminology:
- **Minor radius**: The radius of the tube of a torus, i.e. the
"half-thickness"
- **Major radius**: The distance from the center of the tube to the
center of the torus
- **Inner radius**: The radius of the hole (if it exists), `major_radius
- minor_radius`
- **Outer radius**: The radius of the overall shape, `major_radius +
minor_radius`
- **Ring torus**: The familiar donut shape with a hole in the center,
`major_radius > minor_radius`
- **Horn torus**: A torus that doesn't have a hole but also isn't
self-intersecting, `major_radius == minor_radius`
- **Spindle torus**: A self-intersecting torus, `major_radius <
minor_radius`
Different tori from [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus),
where *R* is the major radius and *r* is the minor radius:
Currently, Bevy's torus is represented by a `radius` and `ring_radius`.
I believe these correspond to the outer radius and minor radius, but
they are rather confusing and inconsistent names, and they make the
assumption that the torus always has a ring.
I also couldn't find any other big engines using this representation;
[Godot](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_torusmesh.html)
and [Unity
ProBuilder](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.0/manual/Torus.html)
use the inner and outer radii, while
[Unreal](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/BlueprintAPI/GeometryScript/Primitives/AppendTorus/)
uses the minor and major radii.
[Blender](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/primitives.html#torus)
supports both, but defaults to minor/major.
Bevy's `Torus` primitive should have an efficient, consistent, clear and
flexible representation, and the current `radius` and `ring_radius`
properties are not ideal for that.
## Solution
Change `Torus` to be represented by a `minor_radius` and `major_radius`.
- Mathematically correct and consistent
- Flexible, not restricted to ring tori
- Computations and conversions are efficient
- `inner_radius = major_radius - minor_radius`
- `outer_radius = major_radius + minor_radius`
- Mathematical formulae for things like area and volume rely on the
minor and major radii, no conversion needed
Perhaps the primary issue with this representation is that "minor
radius" and "major radius" are rather mathematical, and an inner/outer
radius can be more intuitive in some cases. However, this can be
mitigated with constructors and helpers.
# Objective
This PR adds some helpers for `Triangle2d` to work with its winding
order. This could also be extended to polygons (and `Triangle3d` once
it's added).
## Solution
- Add `WindingOrder` enum with `Clockwise`, `Counterclockwise` and
`Invalid` variants
- `Invalid` is for cases where the winding order can not be reliably
computed, i.e. the points lie on a single line and the area is zero
- Add `Triangle2d::winding_order` method that uses a signed surface area
to determine the winding order
- Add `Triangle2d::reverse` method that reverses the winding order by
swapping the second and third vertices
The API looks like this:
```rust
let mut triangle = Triangle2d::new(
Vec2::new(0.0, 2.0),
Vec2::new(-0.5, -1.2),
Vec2::new(-1.0, -1.0),
);
assert_eq!(triangle.winding_order(), WindingOrder::Clockwise);
// Reverse winding order
triangle.reverse();
assert_eq!(triangle.winding_order(), WindingOrder::Counterclockwise);
```
I also added tests to make sure the methods work correctly. For now,
they live in the same file as the primitives.
## Open questions
- Should it be `Counterclockwise` or `CounterClockwise`? The first one
is more correct but perhaps a bit less readable. Counter-clockwise is
also a valid spelling, but it seems to be a lot less common than
counterclockwise.
- Is `WindingOrder::Invalid` a good name? Parry uses
`TriangleOrientation::Degenerate`, but I'm not a huge fan, at least as a
non-native English speaker. Any better suggestions?
- Is `WindingOrder` fine in `bevy_math::primitives`? It's not specific
to a dimension, so I put it there for now.
# Objective
- Fix adding `#![allow(clippy::type_complexity)]` everywhere. like #9796
## Solution
- Use the new [lints] table that will land in 1.74
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#lints)
- inherit lint to the workspace, crates and examples.
```
[lints]
workspace = true
```
## Changelog
- Bump rust version to 1.74
- Enable lints table for the workspace
```toml
[workspace.lints.clippy]
type_complexity = "allow"
```
- Allow type complexity for all crates and examples
```toml
[lints]
workspace = true
```

# Objective
- Implement a subset of
https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/12-primitive-shapes.md#feature-name-primitive-shapes
## Solution
- Define a very basic set of primitives in bevy_math
- Assume a 0,0,0 origin for most shapes
- Use radius and half extents to avoid unnecessary computational
overhead wherever they get used
- Provide both Boxed and const generics variants for shapes with
variable sizes
- Boxed is useful if a 3rd party crate wants to use something like
enum-dispatch for all supported primitives
- Const generics is useful when just working on a single primitive, as
it causes no allocs
#### Some discrepancies from the RFC:
- Box was changed to Cuboid, because Box is already used for an alloc
type
- Skipped Cone because it's unclear where the origin should be for
different uses
- Skipped Wedge because it's too niche for an initial PR (we also don't
implement Torus, Pyramid or a Death Star (there's an SDF for that!))
- Skipped Frustum because while it would be a useful math type, it's not
really a common primitive
- Skipped Triangle3d and Quad3d because those are just rotated 2D shapes
## Future steps
- Add more primitives
- Add helper methods to make primitives easier to construct (especially
when half extents are involved)
- Add methods to calculate AABBs for primitives (useful for physics, BVH
construction, for the mesh AABBs, etc)
- Add wrappers for common and cheap operations, like extruding 2D shapes
and translating them
- Use the primitives to generate meshes
- Provide signed distance functions and gradients for primitives (maybe)

# Objective
- I want to use the `debug_glam_assert` feature with bevy.
## Solution
- Re-export the feature flag
---
## Changelog
- Re-export `debug_glam_assert` feature flag from glam.
# Objective
- Implement the foundations of automatic batching/instancing of draw
commands as the next step from #89
- NOTE: More performance improvements will come when more data is
managed and bound in ways that do not require rebinding such as mesh,
material, and texture data.
## Solution
- The core idea for batching of draw commands is to check whether any of
the information that has to be passed when encoding a draw command
changes between two things that are being drawn according to the sorted
render phase order. These should be things like the pipeline, bind
groups and their dynamic offsets, index/vertex buffers, and so on.
- The following assumptions have been made:
- Only entities with prepared assets (pipelines, materials, meshes) are
queued to phases
- View bindings are constant across a phase for a given draw function as
phases are per-view
- `batch_and_prepare_render_phase` is the only system that performs this
batching and has sole responsibility for preparing the per-object data.
As such the mesh binding and dynamic offsets are assumed to only vary as
a result of the `batch_and_prepare_render_phase` system, e.g. due to
having to split data across separate uniform bindings within the same
buffer due to the maximum uniform buffer binding size.
- Implement `GpuArrayBuffer` for `Mesh2dUniform` to store Mesh2dUniform
in arrays in GPU buffers rather than each one being at a dynamic offset
in a uniform buffer. This is the same optimisation that was made for 3D
not long ago.
- Change batch size for a range in `PhaseItem`, adding API for getting
or mutating the range. This is more flexible than a size as the length
of the range can be used in place of the size, but the start and end can
be otherwise whatever is needed.
- Add an optional mesh bind group dynamic offset to `PhaseItem`. This
avoids having to do a massive table move just to insert
`GpuArrayBufferIndex` components.
## Benchmarks
All tests have been run on an M1 Max on AC power. `bevymark` and
`many_cubes` were modified to use 1920x1080 with a scale factor of 1. I
run a script that runs a separate Tracy capture process, and then runs
the bevy example with `--features bevy_ci_testing,trace_tracy` and
`CI_TESTING_CONFIG=../benchmark.ron` with the contents of
`../benchmark.ron`:
```rust
(
exit_after: Some(1500)
)
```
...in order to run each test for 1500 frames.
The recent changes to `many_cubes` and `bevymark` added reproducible
random number generation so that with the same settings, the same rng
will occur. They also added benchmark modes that use a fixed delta time
for animations. Combined this means that the same frames should be
rendered both on main and on the branch.
The graphs compare main (yellow) to this PR (red).
### 3D Mesh `many_cubes --benchmark`

The mesh and material are the same for all instances. This is basically
the best case for the initial batching implementation as it results in 1
draw for the ~11.7k visible meshes. It gives a ~30% reduction in median
frame time.
The 1000th frame is identical using the flip tool:
```
Mean: 0.000000
Weighted median: 0.000000
1st weighted quartile: 0.000000
3rd weighted quartile: 0.000000
Min: 0.000000
Max: 0.000000
Evaluation time: 0.4615 seconds
```
### 3D Mesh `many_cubes --benchmark --material-texture-count 10`
<img width="1404" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-03 at 23 45 18"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/5ee9c447-5bd2-45c6-9706-ac5ff8916daf">
This run uses 10 different materials by varying their textures. The
materials are randomly selected, and there is no sorting by material
bind group for opaque 3D so any batching is 'random'. The PR produces a
~5% reduction in median frame time. If we were to sort the opaque phase
by the material bind group, then this should be a lot faster. This
produces about 10.5k draws for the 11.7k visible entities. This makes
sense as randomly selecting from 10 materials gives a chance that two
adjacent entities randomly select the same material and can be batched.
The 1000th frame is identical in flip:
```
Mean: 0.000000
Weighted median: 0.000000
1st weighted quartile: 0.000000
3rd weighted quartile: 0.000000
Min: 0.000000
Max: 0.000000

This run varies the material data per instance by randomly-generating
its colour. This is the worst case for batching and that it performs
about the same as `main` is a good thing as it demonstrates that the
batching has minimal overhead when dealing with ~11k visible mesh
entities.
The 1000th frame is identical according to flip:
```
Mean: 0.000000
Weighted median: 0.000000
1st weighted quartile: 0.000000
3rd weighted quartile: 0.000000

### 2D Mesh `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode
mesh2d`

src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/cb02ae07-237b-4646-ae9f-fda4dafcbad4">
This spawns 160 waves of 1000 quad meshes that are shaded with
ColorMaterial. Each wave has a different material so 160 waves currently
should result in 160 batches. This results in a 50% reduction in median
frame time.
Capturing a screenshot of the 1000th frame main vs PR gives:
```
Mean: 0.001222
Weighted median: 0.750432
1st weighted quartile: 0.453494
3rd weighted quartile: 0.969758
Min: 0.000000
Max: 0.990296
Evaluation time: 0.4255 seconds
```
So they seem to produce the same results. I also double-checked the
number of draws. `main` does 160000 draws, and the PR does 160, as
expected.
### 2D Mesh `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode
mesh2d --material-texture-count 10`
<img width="1392" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-04 at 00 09 22"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/4358da2e-ce32-4134-82df-3ab74c40849c">
This generates 10 textures and generates materials for each of those and
then selects one material per wave. The median frame time is reduced by
50%. Similar to the plain run above, this produces 160 draws on the PR
and 160000 on `main` and the 1000th frame is identical (ignoring the fps
counter text overlay).
```
Mean: 0.002877
Weighted median: 0.964980
1st weighted quartile: 0.668871
3rd weighted quartile: 0.982749
Min: 0.000000
Max: 0.992377
Evaluation time: 0.4301 seconds
```
### 2D Mesh `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode
mesh2d --vary-per-instance`
<img width="1396" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-04 at 00 13 53"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/b2198b18-3439-47ad-919a-cdabe190facb">
This creates unique materials per instance by randomly-generating the
material's colour. This is the worst case for 2D batching. Somehow, this
PR manages a 7% reduction in median frame time. Both main and this PR
issue 160000 draws.
The 1000th frame is the same:
```
Mean: 0.001214
Weighted median: 0.937499
1st weighted quartile: 0.635467
3rd weighted quartile: 0.979085

### 2D Sprite `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode

src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/8b31e915-d6be-4cac-abf5-c6a4da9c3d43">
This just spawns 160 waves of 1000 sprites. There should be and is no
notable difference between main and the PR.
### 2D Sprite `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode
sprite --material-texture-count 10`
<img width="1389" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-04 at 12 36 08"

This spawns the sprites selecting a texture at random per instance from
the 10 generated textures. This has no significant change vs main and
shouldn't.
### 2D Sprite `bevymark --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode
sprite --vary-per-instance`
<img width="1401" alt="Screenshot 2023-09-04 at 12 29 52"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/762c5c60-352e-471f-8dbe-bbf10e24ebd6">
This sets the sprite colour as being unique per instance. This can still
all be drawn using one batch. There should be no difference but the PR
produces median frame times that are 4% higher. Investigation showed no
clear sources of cost, rather a mix of give and take that should not
happen. It seems like noise in the results.
### Summary
| Benchmark | % change in median frame time |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| many_cubes | 🟩 -30% |
| many_cubes 10 materials | 🟩 -5% |
| many_cubes unique materials | 🟩 ~0% |

# Objective
A Bezier curve is a curve defined by two or more control points. In the
simplest form, it's just a line. The (arguably) most common type of
Bezier curve is a cubic Bezier, defined by four control points. These
are often used in animation, etc. Bevy has a Bezier curve struct called
`Bezier`. However, this is technically a misnomer as it only represents
cubic Bezier curves.
## Solution
This PR changes the struct name to `CubicBezier` to more accurately
reflect the struct's usage. Since it's exposed in Bevy's prelude, it can
potentially collide with other `Bezier` implementations. While that
might instead be an argument for removing it from the prelude, there's
also something to be said for adding a more general `Bezier` into Bevy,
in which case we'd likely want to use the name `Bezier`. As a final
motivator, not only is the struct located in `cubic_spines.rs`, there
are also several other spline-related structs which follow the
`CubicXxx` naming convention where applicable. For example,
`CubicSegment` represents a cubic Bezier curve (with coefficients
pre-baked).
---
## Migration Guide
- Change all `Bezier` references to `CubicBezier`
# Objective
[Rust 1.72.0](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/08/24/Rust-1.72.0.html) is
now stable.
# Notes
- `let-else` formatting has arrived!
- I chose to allow `explicit_iter_loop` due to
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/11074.
We didn't hit any of the false positives that prevent compilation, but
fixing this did produce a lot of the "symbol soup" mentioned, e.g. `for
image in &mut *image_events {`.
Happy to undo this if there's consensus the other way.

# Objective
- Significantly reduce the size of MeshUniform by only including
necessary data.
## Solution
Local to world, model transforms are affine. This means they only need a
4x3 matrix to represent them.
`MeshUniform` stores the current, and previous model transforms, and the
inverse transpose of the current model transform, all as 4x4 matrices.
Instead we can store the current, and previous model transforms as 4x3
matrices, and we only need the upper-left 3x3 part of the inverse
transpose of the current model transform. This change allows us to
reduce the serialized MeshUniform size from 208 bytes to 144 bytes,
which is over a 30% saving in data to serialize, and VRAM bandwidth and
space.
## Benchmarks
On an M1 Max, running `many_cubes -- sphere`, main is in yellow, this PR
is in red:
<img width="1484" alt="Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 02 36 43"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/302146/7d99c7b3-f2bb-4004-a8d0-4c00f755cb0d">
A reduction in frame time of ~14%.
---
## Changelog
- Changed: Redefined `MeshUniform` to improve performance by using 4x3
affine transforms and reconstructing 4x4 matrices in the shader. Helper
functions were added to `bevy_pbr::mesh_functions` to unpack the data.
`affine_to_square` converts the packed 4x3 in 3x4 matrix data to a 4x4
matrix. `mat2x4_f32_to_mat3x3` converts the 3x3 in mat2x4 + f32 matrix
data back into a 3x3.
## Migration Guide
Shader code before:
```
var model = mesh[instance_index].model;
```
Shader code after:
```
#import bevy_pbr::mesh_functions affine_to_square
var model = affine_to_square(mesh[instance_index].model);
```
# Objective
Add possibility to use the glam's swizzles traits without having to
manually import them.
```diff
use bevy::prelude::*;
- use bevy::math::Vec3Swizzles;
fn foo(x: Vec3) {
let y: Vec2 = x.xy();
}
```
## Solution
Add the swizzles traits to bevy's prelude.
---
## Changelog
- `Vec2Swizzles`, `Vec3Swizzles` and `Vec4Swizzles` are now part of the
prelude.
# Objective
This attempts to make the new IRect and URect structs in bevy_math more
similar to the existing Rect struct.
## Solution
Add reflect implementations for IRect and URect, since one already
exists for Rect.
# Objective
Continue #7867 now that we have URect #7984
- Return `URect` instead of `(UVec2, UVec2)` in
`Camera::physical_viewport_rect`
- Add `URect` and `IRect` to prelude
## Changelog
- Changed `Camera::physical_viewport_rect` return type from `(UVec2,
UVec2)` to `URect`
- `URect` and `IRect` were added to prelude
## Migration Guide
Before:
```rust
fn view_physical_camera_rect(camera_query: Query<&Camera>) {
let camera = camera_query.single();
let Some((min, max)) = camera.physical_viewport_rect() else { return };
dbg!(min, max);
}
```
After:
```rust
fn view_physical_camera_rect(camera_query: Query<&Camera>) {
let camera = camera_query.single();
let Some(URect { min, max }) = camera.physical_viewport_rect() else { return };
dbg!(min, max);
}
```
# Objective
Some of the conversion methods on the new rect types introduced in #7984
have misleading names.
## Solution
Rename all methods returning an `IRect` to `as_irect` and all methods
returning a `URect` to `as_urect`.
## Migration Guide
Replace uses of the old method names with the new method names.

I created this manually as Github didn't want to run CI for the
workflow-generated PR. I'm guessing we didn't hit this in previous
releases because we used bors.

## Objective
- Provide a way to use `CubicCurve` non-iter methods
- Accept a `FnMut` over a `fn` pointer on `iter_samples`
- Improve `build_*_cubic_100_points` benchmark by -45% (this means they
are twice as fast)
### Solution
Previously, the only way to iterate over an evenly spaced set of points
on a `CubicCurve` was to use one of the `iter_*` methods.
The return value of those methods were bound by `&self` lifetime, making
them unusable in certain contexts.
Furthermore, other `CubicCurve` methods (`position`, `velocity`,
`acceleration`) required normalizing `t` over the `CubicCurve`'s
internal segment count.
There were no way to access this segment count, making those methods
pretty much unusable.
The newly added `segment_count` allows accessing the segment count.
`iter_samples` used to accept a `fn`, a function pointer. This is
surprising and contrary to the rust stdlib APIs, which accept `Fn`
traits for `Iterator` combinators.
`iter_samples` now accepts a `FnMut`.
I don't trust a bit the bevy benchmark suit, but according to it, this
doubles (-45%) the performance on the `build_pos_cubic_100_points` and
`build_accel_cubic_100_points` benchmarks.
---
## Changelog
- Added the `CubicCurve::segments` method to access the underlying
segments of a cubic curve
- Allow closures as `CubicCurve::iter_samples` `sample_function`
argument.
# Objective
The clippy lint `type_complexity` is known not to play well with bevy.
It frequently triggers when writing complex queries, and taking the
lint's advice of using a type alias almost always just obfuscates the
code with no benefit. Because of this, this lint is currently ignored in
CI, but unfortunately it still shows up when viewing bevy code in an
IDE.
As someone who's made a fair amount of pull requests to this repo, I
will say that this issue has been a consistent thorn in my side. Since
bevy code is filled with spurious, ignorable warnings, it can be very
difficult to spot the *real* warnings that must be fixed -- most of the
time I just ignore all warnings, only to later find out that one of them
was real after I'm done when CI runs.
## Solution
Suppress this lint in all bevy crates. This was previously attempted in
#7050, but the review process ended up making it more complicated than
it needs to be and landed on a subpar solution.
The discussion in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/10571
explores some better long-term solutions to this problem. Since there is
no timeline on when these solutions may land, we should resolve this
issue in the meantime by locally suppressing these lints.
### Unresolved issues
Currently, these lints are not suppressed in our examples, since that
would require suppressing the lint in every single source file. They are
still ignored in CI.
# Objective
Fix `CubicCurve::iter_samples` iteration count.
## Solution
If I understand the function and the docs correctly, this should iterate
over `0..=subdivisions` instead of `0..subdivisions`.
For example: Now the iteration returns 3 points at `subdivisions = 2`,
as indicated in the documentation.
# Objective
- Allow the use of the "glam _assert" feature to help catch runtime
errors and validate the arguments passed to glam.
e.g.
```rs
// Will panic if self is zero length when glam_assert is enabled.
pub fn normalize(self) -> Self {
let normalized = self.mul(self.length_recip());
glam_assert!(normalized.is_finite());
normalized
}
```
## Solution
- Re-export the optional feature glam_assert
---
## Changelog
Added: Optional feature "glam_assert"
