# Objective
The default StandardMaterial values of `pbr_material.rs` and
`pbr_types.wgsl` are out of sync.
I think they are out of sync since
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7664.
## Solution
Adapt the values: `metallic = 0.0`, `perceptual_roughness = 0.5`.
Fixes issue mentioned in PR #8285.
_Note: By mistake, this is currently dependent on #8285_
# Objective
Ensure consistency in the spelling of the documentation.
Exceptions:
`crates/bevy_mikktspace/src/generated.rs` - Has not been changed from
licence to license as it is part of a licensing agreement.
Maybe for further consistency,
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website should also be given a look.
## Solution
### Changed the spelling of the current words (UK/CN/AU -> US) :
cancelled -> canceled (Breaking API changes in #8285)
behaviour -> behavior (Breaking API changes in #8285)
neighbour -> neighbor
grey -> gray
recognise -> recognize
centre -> center
metres -> meters
colour -> color
### ~~Update [`engine_style_guide.md`]~~ Moved to #8324

## Changelog
Changed UK spellings in documentation to US

# 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
- Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8008
## Solution
- Add a skybox plugin that renders a fullscreen triangle, and then
modifies the vertices in a vertex shader to enforce that it renders as a
skybox background.
- Skybox is run at the end of MainOpaquePass3dNode.
- In the future, it would be nice to get something like bevy_atmosphere
built-in, and have a default skybox+environment map light.
---
## Changelog
- Added `Skybox`.
- `EnvironmentMapLight` now renders in the correct orientation.
## Migration Guide
- Flip `EnvironmentMapLight` maps if needed to match how they previously
rendered (which was backwards).

# Objective
- We support enabling a normal prepass, but the main pass never actually
uses it and recomputes the normals in the main pass. This isn't ideal
since it's doing redundant work.
## Solution
- Use the normal texture from the prepass in the main pass
## Notes
~~I used `NORMAL_PREPASS_ENABLED` as a shader_def because
`NORMAL_PREPASS` is currently used to signify that it is running in the
prepass while this shader_def need to indicate the prepass is done and
the normal prepass was ran before. I'm not sure if there's a better way
to name this.~~
# Objective
Fixes#8089.
## Solution
Splits the MainPass3dNode into 2 nodes, one for the opaque + alpha
passes and one for the transparent pass.
---
## Changelog
- Split MainPass3dNode into MainOpaquePass3dNode and
MainTransparentPass3dNode
- Combine opaque and alpha phases in MainOpaquePass3dNode into one pass
- Create `START_MAIN_PASS` and `END_MAIN_PASS` empty nodes as labels
- Main pass becomes `START_MAIN_PASS -> MAIN_OPAQUE_PASS ->
MAIN_TRANSPARENT_PASS -> END_MAIN_PASS`
## Migration Guide
Nodes that previously added edges involving `MAIN_PASS` should now add
edges to or from `START_MAIN_PASS` or `END_MAIN_PASS` respectively.
# Objective
- Implement an alternative antialias technique
- TAA scales based off of view resolution, not geometry complexity
- TAA filters textures, firefly pixels, and other aliasing not covered
by MSAA
- TAA additionally will reduce noise / increase quality in future
stochastic rendering techniques
- Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3663
## Solution
- Add a temporal jitter component

- Fixes#7965
- Code quality improvements.
- Removes the unreferenced function `dither` in pbr_functions.wgsl
introduced in 72fbcc7, but made obsolete in c069c54.
- Makes the reference to `screen_space_dither` in pbr.wgsl conditional
on `#ifdef TONEMAP_IN_SHADER`, as the required import is conditional on
the same, as deband dithering can only occur if tonemapping is also
occurring.

# Objective
- Currently, the render graph slots are only used to pass the
view_entity around. This introduces significant boilerplate for very
little value. Instead of using slots for this, make the view_entity part
of the `RenderGraphContext`. This also means we won't need to have
`IN_VIEW` on every node and and we'll be able to use the default impl of
`Node::input()`.
## Solution
- Add `view_entity: Option<Entity>` to the `RenderGraphContext`
- Update all nodes to use this instead of entity slot input
---
## Changelog
- Add optional `view_entity` to `RenderGraphContext`
## Migration Guide
You can now get the view_entity directly from the `RenderGraphContext`.
When implementing the Node:
```rust
// 0.10
struct FooNode;
impl FooNode {
const IN_VIEW: &'static str = "view";
}
impl Node for FooNode {
fn input(&self) -> Vec<SlotInfo> {
vec![SlotInfo::new(Self::IN_VIEW, SlotType::Entity)]
}
fn run(
&self,
graph: &mut RenderGraphContext,
// ...
) -> Result<(), NodeRunError> {
let view_entity = graph.get_input_entity(Self::IN_VIEW)?;
// ...
Ok(())
}
}
// 0.11
struct FooNode;
impl Node for FooNode {
fn run(
&self,
graph: &mut RenderGraphContext,
// ...
) -> Result<(), NodeRunError> {
let view_entity = graph.view_entity();
// ...
Ok(())
}
}
```
When adding the node to the graph, you don't need to specify a slot_edge
for the view_entity.
```rust
// 0.10
let mut graph = RenderGraph::default();
graph.add_node(FooNode::NAME, node);
let input_node_id = draw_2d_graph.set_input(vec![SlotInfo::new(
graph::input::VIEW_ENTITY,
SlotType::Entity,
)]);
graph.add_slot_edge(
input_node_id,
graph::input::VIEW_ENTITY,
FooNode::NAME,
FooNode::IN_VIEW,
);
// add_node_edge ...
// 0.11
let mut graph = RenderGraph::default();
graph.add_node(FooNode::NAME, node);
// add_node_edge ...
```
## Notes
This PR paired with #8007 will help reduce a lot of annoying boilerplate
with the render nodes. Depending on which one gets merged first. It will
require a bit of clean up work to make both compatible.
I tagged this as a breaking change, because using the old system to get
the view_entity will break things because it's not a node input slot
anymore.
## Notes for reviewers
A lot of the diffs are just removing the slots in every nodes and graph
creation. The important part is mostly in the
graph_runner/CameraDriverNode.
# Objective
- @mockersf identified a performance regression of about 25% longer frame times introduced by #7784 in a complex scene with the Amazon Lumberyard bistro scene with both exterior and interior variants and a number of point lights with shadow mapping enabled
- The additional time seemed to be spent in the `ShadowPassNode`
- `ShadowPassNode` encodes the draw commands for the shadow phase. Roughly the same numbers of entities were having draw commands encoded, so something about the way they were being encoded had changed.
- One thing that definitely changed was that the pipeline used will be different depending on the alpha mode, and the scene has lots entities with opaque and blend materials. This suggested that maybe the pipeline was changing a lot so I tried a quick hack to see if it was the problem.
## Solution
- Sort the shadow phase items by their pipeline id
- This groups phase items by their pipeline id, which significantly reduces pipeline rebinding required to the point that the performance regression was gone.
# Objective
revert combining pipelines for AlphaMode::Blend and AlphaMode::Premultiplied & Add
the recent blend state pr changed `AlphaMode::Blend` to use a blend state of `Blend::PREMULTIPLIED_ALPHA_BLENDING`, and recovered the original behaviour by multiplying colour by alpha in the standard material's fragment shader.
this had some advantages (specifically it means more material instances can be batched together in future), but this also means that custom materials that specify `AlphaMode::Blend` now get a premultiplied blend state, so they must also multiply colour by alpha.
## Solution
revert that combination to preserve 0.9 behaviour for custom materials with AlphaMode::Blend.
This produces more accurate results for the `EmissiveStrengthTest` glTF test case.
(Requires manually setting the emission, for now)

Tagging @JMS55 as a co-author, since this fix is based on their experiments with emission.
# Objective
- Have more accurate results for the `EmissiveStrengthTest` glTF test case.
## Solution
- Make sure we send the emissive color as linear instead of sRGB.
---
## Changelog
- Emission strength is now correctly interpreted by the `StandardMaterial` as linear instead of sRGB.
## Migration Guide
- If you have previously manually specified emissive values with `Color::rgb()` and would like to retain the old visual results, you must now use `Color::rgb_linear()` instead;
- If you have previously manually specified emissive values with `Color::rgb_linear()` and would like to retain the old visual results, you'll need to apply a one-time gamma calculation to your channels manually to get the _actual_ linear RGB value:
- For channel values greater than `0.0031308`, use `(1.055 * value.powf(1.0 / 2.4)) - 0.055`;
- For channel values lower than or equal to `0.0031308`, use `value * 12.92`;
- Otherwise, the results should now be more consistent with other tools/engines.
# Objective
the current depth bias only adjusts ordering, so it doesn't work for opaque meshes vs alpha-blend meshes, and it doesn't help when two meshes are infinitesimally offset from one another.
## Solution
pass the material's depth bias into the pipeline depth stencil `constant` field.
# Objective
Unfortunately, there are three issues with my changes introduced by #7784.
1. The changes left some dead code. This is already taken care of here: #7875.
2. Disabling prepass causes failures because the shadow mapping relies on the `PrepassPlugin` now.
3. Custom materials use the `prepass.wgsl` shader, but this does not always define a fragment entry point.
This PR fixes 2. and 3. and resolves#7879.
## Solution
- Add a regression test with disabled prepass.
- Split `PrepassPlugin` into two plugins:
- `PrepassPipelinePlugin` contains the part that is required for the shadow mapping to work and is unconditionally added.
- `PrepassPlugin` now only adds the systems and resources required for the "real" prepasses.
- Add a noop fragment entry point to `prepass.wgsl`, used if `NORMAL_PASS` is not defined.

# Objective
- Remove dead code after #7784
# Changelog
- Removed `SetShadowViewBindGroup`, `queue_shadow_view_bind_group()`, and `LightMeta::shadow_view_bind_group` in favor of reusing the prepass view bind group.
# Migration Guide
- Removed `SetShadowViewBindGroup`, `queue_shadow_view_bind_group()`, and `LightMeta::shadow_view_bind_group` in favor of reusing the prepass view bind group.
# Objective
- Fixes#4372.
## Solution
- Use the prepass shaders for the shadow passes.
- Move `DEPTH_CLAMP_ORTHO` from `ShadowPipelineKey` to `MeshPipelineKey` and the associated clamp operation from `depth.wgsl` to `prepass.wgsl`.
- Remove `depth.wgsl` .
- Replace `ShadowPipeline` with `ShadowSamplers`.
Instead of running the custom `ShadowPipeline` we run the `PrepassPipeline` with the `DEPTH_PREPASS` flag and additionally the `DEPTH_CLAMP_ORTHO` flag for directional lights as well as the `ALPHA_MASK` flag for materials that use `AlphaMode::Mask(_)`.
