# Objective
Fixes#15560
Fixes (most of) #15570
Currently a lot of examples (and presumably some user code) depend on
toggling certain render features by adding/removing a single component
to an entity, e.g. `SpotLight` to toggle a light. Because of the
retained render world this no longer works: Extract will add any new
components, but when it is removed the entity persists unchanged in the
render world.
## Solution
Add `SyncComponentPlugin<C: Component>` that registers
`SyncToRenderWorld` as a required component for `C`, and adds a
component hook that will clear all components from the render world
entity when `C` is removed. We add this plugin to
`ExtractComponentPlugin` which fixes most instances of the problem. For
custom extraction logic we can manually add `SyncComponentPlugin` for
that component.
We also rename `WorldSyncPlugin` to `SyncWorldPlugin` so we start a
naming convention like all the `Extract` plugins.
In this PR I also fixed a bunch of breakage related to the retained
render world, stemming from old code that assumed that `Entity` would be
the same in both worlds.
I found that using the `RenderEntity` wrapper instead of `Entity` in
data structures when referring to render world entities makes intent
much clearer, so I propose we make this an official pattern.
## Testing
Run examples like
```
cargo run --features pbr_multi_layer_material_textures --example clearcoat
cargo run --example volumetric_fog
```
and see that they work, and that toggles work correctly. But really we
should test every single example, as we might not even have caught all
the breakage yet.

# Objective
After merging retained rendering world #15320, we now have a good way of
creating a link between worlds (*HIYAA intensifies*). This means that
`get_or_spawn` is no longer necessary for that function. Entity should
be opaque as the warning above `get_or_spawn` says. This is also part of
#15459.
I'm deprecating `get_or_spawn_batch` in a different PR in order to keep
the PR small in size.
## Solution
Deprecate `get_or_spawn` and replace it with `get_entity` in most
contexts. If it's possible to query `&RenderEntity`, then the entity is
synced and `render_entity.id()` is initialized in the render world.
## Migration Guide
If you are given an `Entity` and you want to do something with it, use
`Commands.entity(...)` or `World.entity(...)`. If instead you want to
spawn something use `Commands.spawn(...)` or `World.spawn(...)`. If you
are not sure if an entity exists, you can always use `get_entity` and
match on the `Option<...>` that is returned.

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

- Still fixes#12144.
## Migration Guide
The retained render world is a complex change: migrating might take one
of a few different forms depending on the patterns you're using.
For every example, we specify in which world the code is run. Most of
the changes affect render world code, so for the average Bevy user who's
using Bevy's high-level rendering APIs, these changes are unlikely to
affect your code.
### Spawning entities in the render world
Previously, if you spawned an entity with `world.spawn(...)`,
`commands.spawn(...)` or some other method in the rendering world, it
would be despawned at the end of each frame. In 0.15, this is no longer
the case and so your old code could leak entities. This can be mitigated
by either re-architecting your code to no longer continuously spawn
entities (like you're used to in the main world), or by adding the
`bevy_render::world_sync::TemporaryRenderEntity` component to the entity
you're spawning. Entities tagged with `TemporaryRenderEntity` will be
removed at the end of each frame (like before).
### Extract components with `ExtractComponentPlugin`
```
// main world
app.add_plugins(ExtractComponentPlugin::<ComponentToExtract>::default());
```
`ExtractComponentPlugin` has been changed to only work with synced
entities. Entities are automatically synced if `ComponentToExtract` is
added to them. However, entities are not "unsynced" if any given
`ComponentToExtract` is removed, because an entity may have multiple
components to extract. This would cause the other components to no
longer get extracted because the entity is not synced.
So be careful when only removing extracted components from entities in
the render world, because it might leave an entity behind in the render
world. The solution here is to avoid only removing extracted components
and instead despawn the entire entity.
### Manual extraction using `Extract<Query<(Entity, ...)>>`
```rust
// in render world, inspired by bevy_pbr/src/cluster/mod.rs
pub fn extract_clusters(
mut commands: Commands,
views: Extract<Query<(Entity, &Clusters, &Camera)>>,
) {
for (entity, clusters, camera) in &views {
// some code
commands.get_or_spawn(entity).insert(...);
}
}
```
One of the primary consequences of the retained rendering world is that
there's no longer a one-to-one mapping from entity IDs in the main world
to entity IDs in the render world. Unlike in Bevy 0.14, Entity 42 in the
main world doesn't necessarily map to entity 42 in the render world.
Previous code which called `get_or_spawn(main_world_entity)` in the
render world (`Extract<Query<(Entity, ...)>>` returns main world
entities). Instead, you should use `&RenderEntity` and
`render_entity.id()` to get the correct entity in the render world. Note
that this entity does need to be synced first in order to have a
`RenderEntity`.
When performing manual abstraction, this won't happen automatically
(like with `ExtractComponentPlugin`) so add a `SyncToRenderWorld` marker
component to the entities you want to extract.
This results in the following code:
```rust
// in render world, inspired by bevy_pbr/src/cluster/mod.rs
pub fn extract_clusters(
mut commands: Commands,
views: Extract<Query<(&RenderEntity, &Clusters, &Camera)>>,
) {
for (render_entity, clusters, camera) in &views {
// some code
commands.get_or_spawn(render_entity.id()).insert(...);
}
}
// in main world, when spawning
world.spawn(Clusters::default(), Camera::default(), SyncToRenderWorld)
```
### Looking up `Entity` ids in the render world
As previously stated, there's now no correspondence between main world
and render world `Entity` identifiers.
Querying for `Entity` in the render world will return the `Entity` id in
the render world: query for `MainEntity` (and use its `id()` method) to
get the corresponding entity in the main world.
This is also a good way to tell the difference between synced and
unsynced entities in the render world, because unsynced entities won't
have a `MainEntity` component.

# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
Fixes#14883
## Solution
Pretty simple update to `EntityCommands` methods to consume `self` and
return it rather than taking `&mut self`. The things probably worth
noting:
* I added `#[allow(clippy::should_implement_trait)]` to the `add` method
because it causes a linting conflict with `std::ops::Add`.
* `despawn` and `log_components` now return `Self`. I'm not sure if
that's exactly the desired behavior so I'm happy to adjust if that seems
wrong.
## Testing
Tested with `cargo run -p ci`. I think that should be sufficient to call
things good.
## Migration Guide
The most likely migration needed is changing code from this:
```
let mut entity = commands.get_or_spawn(entity);
if depth_prepass {
entity.insert(DepthPrepass);
}
if normal_prepass {
entity.insert(NormalPrepass);
}
if motion_vector_prepass {
entity.insert(MotionVectorPrepass);
}
if deferred_prepass {
entity.insert(DeferredPrepass);
}
```
to this:
```
let mut entity = commands.get_or_spawn(entity);
if depth_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(DepthPrepass);
}
if normal_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(NormalPrepass);
}
if motion_vector_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(MotionVectorPrepass);
}
if deferred_prepass {
entity.insert(DeferredPrepass);
}
```
as can be seen in several of the example code updates here. There will
probably also be instances where mutable `EntityCommands` vars no longer
need to be mutable.
# Objective
- Faster meshlet rasterization path for small triangles
- Avoid having to allocate and write out a triangle buffer
- Refactor gpu_scene.rs
## Solution
- Replace the 32bit visbuffer texture with a 64bit visbuffer buffer,
where the left 32 bits encode depth, and the right 32 bits encode the
existing cluster + triangle IDs. Can't use 64bit textures, wgpu/naga
doesn't support atomic ops on textures yet.
- Instead of writing out a buffer of packed cluster + triangle IDs (per
triangle) to raster, the culling pass now writes out a buffer of just
cluster IDs (per cluster, so less memory allocated, cheaper to write
out).
- Clusters for software raster are allocated from the left side
- Clusters for hardware raster are allocated in the same buffer, from
the right side
- The buffer size is fixed at MeshletPlugin build time, and should be
set to a reasonable value for your scene (no warning on overflow, and no
good way to determine what value you need outside of renderdoc - I plan
to fix this in a future PR adding a meshlet stats overlay)
- Currently I don't have a heuristic for software vs hardware raster
selection for each cluster. The existing code is just a placeholder. I
need to profile on a release scene and come up with a heuristic,
probably in a future PR.
- The culling shader is getting pretty hard to follow at this point, but
I don't want to spend time improving it as the entire shader/pass is
getting rewritten/replaced in the near future.
- Software raster is a compute workgroup per-cluster. Each workgroup
loads and transforms the <=64 vertices of the cluster, and then
rasterizes the <=64 triangles of the cluster.
- Two variants are implemented: Scanline for clusters with any larger
triangles (still smaller than hardware is good at), and brute-force for
very very tiny triangles
- Once the shader determines that a pixel should be filled in, it does
an atomicMax() on the visbuffer to store the results, copying how Nanite
works
- On devices with a low max workgroups per dispatch limit, an extra
compute pass is inserted before software raster to convert from a 1d to
2d dispatch (I don't think 3d would ever be necessary).
- I haven't implemented the top-left rule or subpixel precision yet, I'm
leaving that for a future PR since I get usable results without it for
now
- Resources used:
https://kristoffer-dyrkorn.github.io/triangle-rasterizer and chapters
6-8 of
https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/optimizing-sw-occlusion-culling-index
- Hardware raster now spawns 64*3 vertex invocations per meshlet,
instead of the actual meshlet vertex count. Extra invocations just
early-exit.
- While this is slower than the existing system, hardware draws should
be rare now that software raster is usable, and it saves a ton of memory
using the unified cluster ID buffer. This would be fixed if wgpu had
support for mesh shaders.
- Instead of writing to a color+depth attachment, the hardware raster
pass also does the same atomic visbuffer writes that software raster
uses.
- We have to bind a dummy render target anyways, as wgpu doesn't
currently support render passes without any attachments
- Material IDs are no longer written out during the main rasterization
passes.
- If we had async compute queues, we could overlap the software and
hardware raster passes.
- New material and depth resolve passes run at the end of the visbuffer
node, and write out view depth and material ID depth textures
### Misc changes
- Fixed cluster culling importing, but never actually using the previous
view uniforms when doing occlusion culling
- Fixed incorrectly adding the LOD error twice when building the meshlet
mesh
- Splitup gpu_scene module into meshlet_mesh_manager, instance_manager,
and resource_manager
- resource_manager is still too complex and inefficient (extract and
prepare are way too expensive). I plan on improving this in a future PR,
but for now ResourceManager is mostly a 1:1 port of the leftover
MeshletGpuScene bits.
- Material draw passes have been renamed to the more accurate material
shade pass, as well as some other misc renaming (in the future, these
will be compute shaders even, and not actual draw calls)
---
## Migration Guide
- TBD (ask me at the end of the release for meshlet changes as a whole)

The "uberbuffers" PR #14257 caused some examples to fail intermittently
for different reasons:
1. `morph_targets` could fail because vertex displacements for morph
targets are keyed off the vertex index. With buffer packing, the vertex
index can vary based on the position in the buffer, which caused the
morph targets to be potentially incorrect. The solution is to include
the first vertex index with the `MeshUniform` (and `MeshInputUniform` if
GPU preprocessing is in use), so that the shader can calculate the true
vertex index before performing the morph operation. This results in
wasted space in `MeshUniform`, which is unfortunate, but we'll soon be
filling in the padding with the ID of the material when bindless
textures land, so this had to happen sooner or later anyhow.
Including the vertex index in the `MeshInputUniform` caused an ordering
problem. The `MeshInputUniform` was created during the extraction phase,
before the allocations occurred, so the extraction logic didn't know
where the mesh vertex data was going to end up. The solution is to move
the `MeshInputUniform` creation (the `collect_meshes_for_gpu_building`
system) to after the allocations phase. This should be better for
parallelism anyhow, because it allows the extraction phase to finish
quicker. It's also something we'll have to do for bindless in any event.
2. The `lines` and `fog_volumes` examples could fail because their
custom drawing nodes weren't updated to supply the vertex and index
offsets in their `draw_indexed` and `draw` calls. This commit fixes this
oversight.
Fixes#14366.
Switches `Msaa` from being a globally configured resource to a per
camera view component.
Closes#7194
# Objective
Allow individual views to describe their own MSAA settings. For example,
when rendering to different windows or to different parts of the same
view.
## Solution
Make `Msaa` a component that is required on all camera bundles.
## Testing
Ran a variety of examples to ensure that nothing broke.
TODO:
- [ ] Make sure android still works per previous comment in
`extract_windows`.
---
## Migration Guide
`Msaa` is no longer configured as a global resource, and should be
specified on each spawned camera if a non-default setting is desired.

This commit uses the [`offset-allocator`] crate to combine vertex and
index arrays from different meshes into single buffers. Since the
primary source of `wgpu` overhead is from validation and synchronization
when switching buffers, this significantly improves Bevy's rendering
performance on many scenes.
This patch is a more flexible version of #13218, which also used slabs.
Unlike #13218, which used slabs of a fixed size, this commit implements
slabs that start small and can grow. In addition to reducing memory
usage, supporting slab growth reduces the number of vertex and index
buffer switches that need to happen during rendering, leading to
improved performance. To prevent pathological fragmentation behavior,
slabs are capped to a maximum size, and mesh arrays that are too large
get their own dedicated slabs.
As an additional improvement over #13218, this commit allows the
application to customize all allocator heuristics. The
`MeshAllocatorSettings` resource contains values that adjust the minimum
and maximum slab sizes, the cutoff point at which meshes get their own
dedicated slabs, and the rate at which slabs grow. Hopefully-sensible
defaults have been chosen for each value.
Unfortunately, WebGL 2 doesn't support the *base vertex* feature, which
is necessary to pack vertex arrays from different meshes into the same
buffer. `wgpu` represents this restriction as the downlevel flag
`BASE_VERTEX`. This patch detects that bit and ensures that all vertex
buffers get dedicated slabs on that platform. Even on WebGL 2, though,
we can combine all *index* arrays into single buffers to reduce buffer
changes, and we do so.
The following measurements are on Bistro:
Overall frame time improves from 8.74 ms to 5.53 ms (1.58x speedup):

## Migration Guide
### Changed
* Vertex and index buffers for meshes may now be packed alongside other
buffers, for performance.
* `GpuMesh` has been renamed to `RenderMesh`, to reflect the fact that
it no longer directly stores handles to GPU objects.
* Because meshes no longer have their own vertex and index buffers, the
responsibility for the buffers has moved from `GpuMesh` (now called
`RenderMesh`) to the `MeshAllocator` resource. To access the vertex data
for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_vertex_slice`. To access the index
data for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_index_slice`.
[`offset-allocator`]: https://github.com/pcwalton/offset-allocator
# Objective
- After #11804 , The queue_prepass_material_meshes function is now
executed in parallel with other queue_* systems. This optimization
introduced a potential issue where mesh_instance.should_batch() could
return false in queue_prepass_material_meshes due to an unset
material_bind_group_id.
As reported in #14004, many third-party plugins, such as Hanabi, enqueue
entities that don't have meshes into render phases. However, the
introduction of indirect mode added a dependency on mesh-specific data,
breaking this workflow. This is because GPU preprocessing requires that
the render phases manage indirect draw parameters, which don't apply to
objects that aren't meshes. The existing code skips over binned entities
that don't have indirect draw parameters, which causes the rendering to
be skipped for such objects.
To support this workflow, this commit adds a new field,
`non_mesh_items`, to `BinnedRenderPhase`. This field contains a simple
list of (bin key, entity) pairs. After drawing batchable and unbatchable
objects, the non-mesh items are drawn one after another. Bevy itself
doesn't enqueue any items into this list; it exists solely for the
application and/or plugins to use.
Additionally, this commit switches the asset ID in the standard bin keys
to be an untyped asset ID rather than that of a mesh. This allows more
flexibility, allowing bins to be keyed off any type of asset.
This patch adds a new example, `custom_phase_item`, which simultaneously
serves to demonstrate how to use this new feature and to act as a
regression test so this doesn't break again.
Fixes#14004.
## Changelog
### Added
* `BinnedRenderPhase` now contains a `non_mesh_items` field for plugins
to add custom items to.
# Objective
- Fixes#13728
## Solution
- add a new feature `smaa_luts`. if enables, it also enables `ktx2` and
`zstd`. if not, it doesn't load the files but use placeholders instead
- adds all the resources needed in the same places that system that uses
them are added.
# Objective
- Fixes#13811 (probably, I lost my test code...)
## Solution
- Turns out that Queue and PrepareAssets are _not_ ordered. We should
probably either rethink our system sets (again), or improve the
documentation here. For reference, I've included the current ordering
below.
- The `prepare_meshlet_meshes_X` systems need to run after
`prepare_assets::<PreparedMaterial<M>>`, and have also been moved to
QueueMeshes.
```rust
schedule.configure_sets(
(
ExtractCommands,
ManageViews,
Queue,
PhaseSort,
Prepare,
Render,
Cleanup,
)
.chain(),

## Testing
- Ambiguity checker to make sure I don't have ambiguous system ordering
# Objective
- Fixes#10909
- Fixes#8492
## Solution
- Name all matrices `x_from_y`, for example `world_from_view`.
## Testing
- I've tested most of the 3D examples. The `lighting` example
particularly should hit a lot of the changes and appears to run fine.
---
## Changelog
- Renamed matrices across the engine to follow a `y_from_x` naming,
making the space conversion more obvious.
## Migration Guide
- `Frustum`'s `from_view_projection`, `from_view_projection_custom_far`
and `from_view_projection_no_far` were renamed to
`from_clip_from_world`, `from_clip_from_world_custom_far` and
`from_clip_from_world_no_far`.
- `ComputedCameraValues::projection_matrix` was renamed to
`clip_from_view`.
- `CameraProjection::get_projection_matrix` was renamed to
`get_clip_from_view` (this affects implementations on `Projection`,
`PerspectiveProjection` and `OrthographicProjection`).
- `ViewRangefinder3d::from_view_matrix` was renamed to
`from_world_from_view`.
- `PreviousViewData`'s members were renamed to `view_from_world` and
`clip_from_world`.
- `ExtractedView`'s `projection`, `transform` and `view_projection` were
renamed to `clip_from_view`, `world_from_view` and `clip_from_world`.
- `ViewUniform`'s `view_proj`, `unjittered_view_proj`,
`inverse_view_proj`, `view`, `inverse_view`, `projection` and
`inverse_projection` were renamed to `clip_from_world`,
`unjittered_clip_from_world`, `world_from_clip`, `world_from_view`,
`view_from_world`, `clip_from_view` and `view_from_clip`.
- `GpuDirectionalCascade::view_projection` was renamed to
`clip_from_world`.

to `world_from_local`, `previous_world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh` type in WGSL mirrors this, however `transform` and
`previous_transform` were named `model` and `previous_model`).
- `Mesh2dTransforms::transform` was renamed to `world_from_local`.
- `Mesh2dUniform`'s `transform`, `inverse_transpose_model_a` and
`inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed to `world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh2d` type in WGSL mirrors this).
- In WGSL, in `bevy_pbr::mesh_functions`, `get_model_matrix` and
`get_previous_model_matrix` were renamed to `get_world_from_local` and
`get_previous_world_from_local`.
- In WGSL, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_functions::get_model_matrix` was renamed
to `get_world_from_local`.

This is a revamped equivalent to #9902, though it shares none of the
code. It handles all special cases that I've tested correctly.
The overall technique consists of double-buffering the joint matrix and
morph weights buffers, as most of the previous attempts to solve this
problem did. The process is generally straightforward. Note that, to
avoid regressing the ability of mesh extraction, skin extraction, and
morph target extraction to run in parallel, I had to add a new system to
rendering, `set_mesh_motion_vector_flags`. The comment there explains
the details; it generally runs very quickly.
I've tested this with modified versions of the `animated_fox`,
`morph_targets`, and `many_foxes` examples that add TAA, and the patch
works. To avoid bloating those examples, I didn't add switches for TAA
to them.
Addresses points (1) and (2) of #8423.
## Changelog
### Fixed
* Motion vectors, and therefore TAA, are now supported for meshes with
skins and/or morph targets.
This commit makes us stop using the render world ECS for
`BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` and instead use resources
with `EntityHashMap`s inside. There are three reasons to do this:
1. We can use `clear()` to clear out the render phase collections
instead of recreating the components from scratch, allowing us to reuse
allocations.
2. This is a prerequisite for retained bins, because components can't be
retained from frame to frame in the render world, but resources can.
3. We want to move away from storing anything in components in the
render world ECS, and this is a step in that direction.
This patch results in a small performance benefit, due to point (1)
above.
## Changelog
### Changed
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources.
## Migration Guide
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources. Instead of querying for the
components, look the camera entity up in the
`ViewBinnedRenderPhases`/`ViewSortedRenderPhases` tables.
# Objective
Optimize vertex prepass shader maybe?
Make it consistent with the base vertex shader
## Solution
`mesh_position_local_to_clip` just calls `mesh_position_local_to_world`
and then `position_world_to_clip`
since `out.world_position` is getting calculated anyway a few lines
below, just move it up and use it's output to calculate `out.position`.
It is the same as in the base vertex shader (`mesh.wgsl`).
Note: I have no idea if there is a reason that it was this way. I'm not
an expert, just noticed this inconsistency while messing with custom
shaders.
Keeping track of explicit visibility per cluster between frames does not
work with LODs, and leads to worse culling (using the final depth buffer
from the previous frame is more accurate).
Instead, we need to generate a second depth pyramid after the second
raster pass, and then use that in the first culling pass in the next
frame to test if a cluster would have been visible last frame or not.
As part of these changes, the write_index_buffer pass has been folded
into the culling pass for a large performance gain, and to avoid
tracking a lot of extra state that would be needed between passes.
Prepass previous model/view stuff was adapted to work with meshlets as
well.
Also fixed a bug with materials, and other misc improvements.

[Alpha to coverage] (A2C) replaces alpha blending with a
hardware-specific multisample coverage mask when multisample
antialiasing is in use. It's a simple form of [order-independent
transparency] that relies on MSAA. ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The
Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"] is a good summary of the motivation for and
best practices relating to A2C.
This commit implements alpha to coverage support as a new variant for
`AlphaMode`. You can supply `AlphaMode::AlphaToCoverage` as the
`alpha_mode` field in `StandardMaterial` to use it. When in use, the
standard material shader automatically applies the texture filtering
method from ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"].
Objects with alpha-to-coverage materials are binned in the opaque pass,
as they're fully order-independent.
The `transparency_3d` example has been updated to feature an object with
alpha to coverage. Happily, the example was already using MSAA.
This is part of #2223, as far as I can tell.

## Changelog
### Added
* The `AlphaMode` enum now supports `AlphaToCoverage`, to provide
limited order-independent transparency when multisample antialiasing is
in use.
This commit splits `VisibleEntities::entities` into four separate lists:
one for lights, one for 2D meshes, one for 3D meshes, and one for UI
elements. This allows `queue_material_meshes` and similar methods to
avoid examining entities that are obviously irrelevant. In particular,
this separation helps scenes with many skinned meshes, as the individual
bones are considered visible entities but have no rendered appearance.
Internally, `VisibleEntities::entities` is a `HashMap` from the `TypeId`
representing a `QueryFilter` to the appropriate `Entity` list. I had to
do this because `VisibleEntities` is located within an upstream crate
from the crates that provide lights (`bevy_pbr`) and 2D meshes
(`bevy_sprite`). As an added benefit, this setup allows apps to provide
their own types of renderable components, by simply adding a specialized
`check_visibility` to the schedule.
This provides a 16.23% end-to-end speedup on `many_foxes` with 10,000
foxes (24.06 ms/frame to 20.70 ms/frame).
## Migration guide
* `check_visibility` and `VisibleEntities` now store the four types of
renderable entities--2D meshes, 3D meshes, lights, and UI
elements--separately. If your custom rendering code examines
`VisibleEntities`, it will now need to specify which type of entity it's
interested in using the `WithMesh2d`, `WithMesh`, `WithLight`, and
`WithNode` types respectively. If your app introduces a new type of
renderable entity, you'll need to add an explicit call to
`check_visibility` to the schedule to accommodate your new component or
components.

Currently, `MeshUniform`s are rather large: 160 bytes. They're also
somewhat expensive to compute, because they involve taking the inverse
of a 3x4 matrix. Finally, if a mesh is present in multiple views, that
mesh will have a separate `MeshUniform` for each and every view, which
is wasteful.
This commit fixes these issues by introducing the concept of a *mesh
input uniform* and adding a *mesh uniform building* compute shader pass.
The `MeshInputUniform` is simply the minimum amount of data needed for
the GPU to compute the full `MeshUniform`. Most of this data is just the
transform and is therefore only 64 bytes. `MeshInputUniform`s are
computed during the *extraction* phase, much like skins are today, in
order to avoid needlessly copying transforms around on CPU. (In fact,
the render app has been changed to only store the translation of each
mesh; it no longer cares about any other part of the transform, which is
stored only on the GPU and the main world.) Before rendering, the
`build_mesh_uniforms` pass runs to expand the `MeshInputUniform`s to the
full `MeshUniform`.
The mesh uniform building pass does the following, all on GPU:
1. Copy the appropriate fields of the `MeshInputUniform` to the
`MeshUniform` slot. If a single mesh is present in multiple views, this
effectively duplicates it into each view.
2. Compute the inverse transpose of the model transform, used for
transforming normals.
3. If applicable, copy the mesh's transform from the previous frame for
TAA. To support this, we double-buffer the `MeshInputUniform`s over two
frames and swap the buffers each frame. The `MeshInputUniform`s for the
current frame contain the index of that mesh's `MeshInputUniform` for
the previous frame.
This commit produces wins in virtually every CPU part of the pipeline:
`extract_meshes`, `queue_material_meshes`,
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`, and especially
`write_batched_instance_buffer` are all faster. Shrinking the amount of
CPU data that has to be shuffled around speeds up the entire rendering
process.
| Benchmark | This branch | `main` | Speedup |
|------------------------|-------------|---------|---------|
| `many_cubes -nfc` | 17.259 | 24.529 | 42.12% |
| `many_cubes -nfc -vpi` | 302.116 | 312.123 | 3.31% |
| `many_foxes` | 3.227 | 3.515 | 8.92% |
Because mesh uniform building requires compute shader, and WebGL 2 has
no compute shader, the existing CPU mesh uniform building code has been
left as-is. Many types now have both CPU mesh uniform building and GPU
mesh uniform building modes. Developers can opt into the old CPU mesh
uniform building by setting the `use_gpu_uniform_builder` option on
`PbrPlugin` to `false`.
Below are graphs of the CPU portions of `many-cubes
--no-frustum-culling`. Yellow is this branch, red is `main`.
`extract_meshes`:
![Screenshot 2024-04-02
124842](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/a6748ea4-dd05-47b6-9254-45d07d33cb10)
It's notable that we get a small win even though we're now writing to a
GPU buffer.
`queue_material_meshes`:
![Screenshot 2024-04-02
124911](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/ecb44d78-65dc-448d-ba85-2de91aa2ad94)
There's a bit of a regression here; not sure what's causing it. In any
case it's very outweighed by the other gains.
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`:
![Screenshot 2024-04-02
125123](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/4e20fc86-f9dd-4e5c-8623-837e4258f435)
There's a huge win here, enough to make batching basically drop off the
profile.
`write_batched_instance_buffer`:
![Screenshot 2024-04-02
125237](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/401a5c32-9dc1-4991-996d-eb1cac6014b2)
There's a massive improvement here, as expected. Note that a lot of it
simply comes from the fact that `MeshInputUniform` is `Pod`. (This isn't
a maintainability problem in my view because `MeshInputUniform` is so
simple: just 16 tightly-packed words.)
## Changelog
### Added
* Per-mesh instance data is now generated on GPU with a compute shader
instead of CPU, resulting in rendering performance improvements on
platforms where compute shaders are supported.
## Migration guide
* Custom render phases now need multiple systems beyond just
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`. Code that was previously creating
custom render phases should now add a `BinnedRenderPhasePlugin` or
`SortedRenderPhasePlugin` as appropriate instead of directly adding
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`.
# Objective
- Replace `RenderMaterials` / `RenderMaterials2d` / `RenderUiMaterials`
with `RenderAssets` to enable implementing changes to one thing,
`RenderAssets`, that applies to all use cases rather than duplicating
changes everywhere for multiple things that should be one thing.
- Adopts #8149
## Solution
- Make RenderAsset generic over the destination type rather than the
source type as in #8149
- Use `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` etc for render materials
---
## Changelog
- Changed:
- The `RenderAsset` trait is now implemented on the destination type.
Its `SourceAsset` associated type refers to the type of the source
asset.
- `RenderMaterials`, `RenderMaterials2d`, and `RenderUiMaterials` have
been replaced by `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` and similar.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderAsset` is now implemented for the destination type rather that
the source asset type. The source asset type is now the `RenderAsset`
trait's `SourceAsset` associated type.
# Objective
- Upload previous frame's inverse_view matrix to the GPU for use with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12898.
---
## Changelog
- Added `prepass_bindings::previous_view_uniforms.inverse_view`.
- Renamed `prepass_bindings::previous_view_proj` to
`prepass_bindings::previous_view_uniforms.view_proj`.
- Renamed `PreviousViewProjectionUniformOffset` to
`PreviousViewUniformOffset`.
- Renamed `PreviousViewProjection` to `PreviousViewData`.
## Migration Guide
- Renamed `prepass_bindings::previous_view_proj` to
`prepass_bindings::previous_view_uniforms.view_proj`.
- Renamed `PreviousViewProjectionUniformOffset` to
`PreviousViewUniformOffset`.
- Renamed `PreviousViewProjection` to `PreviousViewData`.
This commit makes the following optimizations:
## `MeshPipelineKey`/`BaseMeshPipelineKey` split
`MeshPipelineKey` has been split into `BaseMeshPipelineKey`, which lives
in `bevy_render` and `MeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_pbr`.
Conceptually, `BaseMeshPipelineKey` is a superclass of
`MeshPipelineKey`. For `BaseMeshPipelineKey`, the bits start at the
highest (most significant) bit and grow downward toward the lowest bit;
for `MeshPipelineKey`, the bits start at the lowest bit and grow upward
toward the highest bit. This prevents them from colliding.
The goal of this is to avoid having to reassemble bits of the pipeline
key for every mesh every frame. Instead, we can just use a bitwise or
operation to combine the pieces that make up a `MeshPipelineKey`.
## `specialize_slow`
Previously, all of `specialize()` was marked as `#[inline]`. This
bloated `queue_material_meshes` unnecessarily, as a large chunk of it
ended up being a slow path that was rarely hit. This commit refactors
the function to move the slow path to `specialize_slow()`.
Together, these two changes shave about 5% off `queue_material_meshes`:
![Screenshot 2024-03-29
130002](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/a7e5a994-a807-4328-b314-9003429dcdd2)
## Migration Guide
- The `primitive_topology` field on `GpuMesh` is now an accessor method:
`GpuMesh::primitive_topology()`.
- For performance reasons, `MeshPipelineKey` has been split into
`BaseMeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_render`, and
`MeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_pbr`. These two should be
combined with bitwise-or to produce the final `MeshPipelineKey`.
# Objective
This is a necessary precursor to #9122 (this was split from that PR to
reduce the amount of code to review all at once).
Moving `!Send` resource ownership to `App` will make it unambiguously
`!Send`. `SubApp` must be `Send`, so it can't wrap `App`.
## Solution
Refactor `App` and `SubApp` to not have a recursive relationship. Since
`SubApp` no longer wraps `App`, once `!Send` resources are moved out of
`World` and into `App`, `SubApp` will become unambiguously `Send`.
There could be less code duplication between `App` and `SubApp`, but
that would break `App` method chaining.
## Changelog
- `SubApp` no longer wraps `App`.
- `App` fields are no longer publicly accessible.
- `App` can no longer be converted into a `SubApp`.
- Various methods now return references to a `SubApp` instead of an
`App`.
## Migration Guide
- To construct a sub-app, use `SubApp::new()`. `App` can no longer
convert into `SubApp`.
- If you implemented a trait for `App`, you may want to implement it for
`SubApp` as well.
- If you're accessing `app.world` directly, you now have to use
`app.world()` and `app.world_mut()`.
- `App::sub_app` now returns `&SubApp`.
- `App::sub_app_mut` now returns `&mut SubApp`.
- `App::get_sub_app` now returns `Option<&SubApp>.`
- `App::get_sub_app_mut` now returns `Option<&mut SubApp>.`
Today, we sort all entities added to all phases, even the phases that
don't strictly need sorting, such as the opaque and shadow phases. This
results in a performance loss because our `PhaseItem`s are rather large
in memory, so sorting is slow. Additionally, determining the boundaries
of batches is an O(n) process.
This commit makes Bevy instead applicable place phase items into *bins*
keyed by *bin keys*, which have the invariant that everything in the
same bin is potentially batchable. This makes determining batch
boundaries O(1), because everything in the same bin can be batched.
Instead of sorting each entity, we now sort only the bin keys. This
drops the sorting time to near-zero on workloads with few bins like
`many_cubes --no-frustum-culling`. Memory usage is improved too, with
batch boundaries and dynamic indices now implicit instead of explicit.
The improved memory usage results in a significant win even on
unbatchable workloads like `many_cubes --no-frustum-culling
--vary-material-data-per-instance`, presumably due to cache effects.
Not all phases can be binned; some, such as transparent and transmissive
phases, must still be sorted. To handle this, this commit splits
`PhaseItem` into `BinnedPhaseItem` and `SortedPhaseItem`. Most of the
logic that today deals with `PhaseItem`s has been moved to
`SortedPhaseItem`. `BinnedPhaseItem` has the new logic.
Frame time results (in ms/frame) are as follows:
| Benchmark | `binning` | `main` | Speedup |
| ------------------------ | --------- | ------- | ------- |
| `many_cubes -nfc -vpi` | 232.179 | 312.123 | 34.43% |
| `many_cubes -nfc` | 25.874 | 30.117 | 16.40% |
| `many_foxes` | 3.276 | 3.515 | 7.30% |
(`-nfc` is short for `--no-frustum-culling`; `-vpi` is short for
`--vary-per-instance`.)
---
## Changelog
### Changed
* Render phases have been split into binned and sorted phases. Binned
phases, such as the common opaque phase, achieve improved CPU
performance by avoiding the sorting step.
## Migration Guide
- `PhaseItem` has been split into `BinnedPhaseItem` and
`SortedPhaseItem`. If your code has custom `PhaseItem`s, you will need
to migrate them to one of these two types. `SortedPhaseItem` requires
the fewest code changes, but you may want to pick `BinnedPhaseItem` if
your phase doesn't require sorting, as that enables higher performance.

Although we cached hashes of `MeshVertexBufferLayout`, we were paying
the cost of `PartialEq` on `InnerMeshVertexBufferLayout` for every
entity, every frame. This patch changes that logic to place
`MeshVertexBufferLayout`s in `Arc`s so that they can be compared and
hashed by pointer. This results in a 28% speedup in the
`queue_material_meshes` phase of `many_cubes`, with frustum culling
disabled.
Additionally, this patch contains two minor changes:
1. This commit flattens the specialized mesh pipeline cache to one level
of hash tables instead of two. This saves a hash lookup.
2. The example `many_cubes` has been given a `--no-frustum-culling`
flag, to aid in benchmarking.

## Migration guide
* Duplicate `MeshVertexBufferLayout`s are now combined into a single
object, `MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef`, which contains an
atomically-reference-counted pointer to the layout. Code that was using
`MeshVertexBufferLayout` may need to be updated to use
`MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef` instead.
# Objective
- followup to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11671
- I forgot to change the alpha masked phases.
## Solution
- Change the sorting for alpha mask phases to sort by pipeline+mesh
instead of distance, for much better batching for alpha masked
materials.
I also fixed some docs that I missed in the previous PR.
---
## Changelog
- Alpha masked materials are now sorted by pipeline and mesh.
# Objective
- Add the new `-Zcheck-cfg` checks to catch more warnings
- Fixes#12091
## Solution
- Create a new `cfg-check` to the CI that runs `cargo check -Zcheck-cfg
--workspace` using cargo nightly (and fails if there are warnings)
- Fix all warnings generated by the new check
---
## Changelog
- Remove all redundant imports
- Fix cfg wasm32 targets
- Add 3 dead code exceptions (should StandardColor be unused?)
- Convert ios_simulator to a feature (I'm not sure if this is the right
way to do it, but the check complained before)

This fixes a `FIXME` in `extract_meshes` and results in a performance
improvement.
As a result of this change, meshes in the render world might not be
attached to entities anymore. Therefore, the `entity` parameter to
`RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Most
applications that use the render app's ECS can simply unwrap the
`Option`.
Note that for now sprites, gizmos, and UI elements still use the render
world as usual.
## Migration guide
* For efficiency reasons, some meshes in the render world may not have
corresponding `Entity` IDs anymore. As a result, the `entity` parameter
to `RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Custom
rendering code may need to be updated to handle the case in which no
`Entity` exists for an object that is to be rendered.
# Objective
Bevy does ridiculous amount of drawcalls, and our batching isn't very
effective because we sort by distance and only batch if we get multiple
of the same object in a row. This can give us slightly better GPU
performance when not using the depth prepass (due to less overdraw), but
ends up being massively CPU bottlenecked due to doing thousands of
unnecessary drawcalls.
## Solution
Change the sort functions to sort by pipeline key then by mesh id for
large performance gains in more realistic scenes than our stress tests.
Pipelines changed:
- Opaque3d
- Opaque3dDeferred
- Opaque3dPrepass

## Changelog
- Opaque3d drawing order is now sorted by pipeline and mesh, rather than
by distance. This trades off a bit of GPU time in exchange for massively
better batching in scenes that aren't only drawing huge amounts of a
single object.
# Objective
Keep core dependencies up to date.
## Solution
Update the dependencies.
wgpu 0.19 only supports raw-window-handle (rwh) 0.6, so bumping that was
included in this.
The rwh 0.6 version bump is just the simplest way of doing it. There
might be a way we can take advantage of wgpu's new safe surface creation
api, but I'm not familiar enough with bevy's window management to
untangle it and my attempt ended up being a mess of lifetimes and rustc
complaining about missing trait impls (that were implemented). Thanks to
@MiniaczQ for the (much simpler) rwh 0.6 version bump code.
Unblocks https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9172 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10812
~~This might be blocked on cpal and oboe updating their ndk versions to
0.8, as they both currently target ndk 0.7 which uses rwh 0.5.2~~ Tested
on android, and everything seems to work correctly (audio properly stops
when minimized, and plays when re-focusing the app).

## Changelog
- `wgpu` has been updated to 0.19! The long awaited arcanization has
been merged (for more info, see
https://gfx-rs.github.io/2023/11/24/arcanization.html), and Vulkan
should now be working again on Intel GPUs.
- Targeting WebGPU now requires that you add the new `webgpu` feature
(setting the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable to
`--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis` is still required). This feature currently
overrides the `webgl2` feature if you have both enabled (the `webgl2`
feature is enabled by default), so it is not recommended to add it as a
default feature to libraries without putting it behind a flag that
allows library users to opt out of it! In the future we plan on
supporting wasm binaries that can target both webgl2 and webgpu now that
wgpu added support for doing so (see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11505).
- `raw-window-handle` has been updated to version 0.6.
## Migration Guide
- `bevy_render::instance_index::get_instance_index()` has been removed
as the webgl2 workaround is no longer required as it was fixed upstream
in wgpu. The `BASE_INSTANCE_WORKAROUND` shaderdef has also been removed.
- WebGPU now requires the new `webgpu` feature to be enabled. The
`webgpu` feature currently overrides the `webgl2` feature so you no
longer need to disable all default features and re-add them all when
targeting `webgpu`, but binaries built with both the `webgpu` and
`webgl2` features will only target the webgpu backend, and will only
work on browsers that support WebGPU.
- Places where you conditionally compiled things for webgl2 need to be
updated because of this change, eg:
- `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl"), not(target_arch = "wasm32")))]`
becomes `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl") ,not(target_arch = "wasm32"),
feature = "webgpu"))]`
- `#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))]` becomes
`#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))]`
- `if cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))` becomes `if
cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))`
- `create_texture_with_data` now also takes a `TextureDataOrder`. You
can probably just set this to `TextureDataOrder::default()`
- `TextureFormat`'s `block_size` has been renamed to `block_copy_size`
- See the `wgpu` changelog for anything I might've missed:

# Objective
- Prep for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164
- Make deferred_lighting_pass_id a ColorAttachment
- Correctly extract shadow view frusta so that the view uniforms get
populated
- Make some needed things public
- Misc formatting
# Objective
> Can anyone explain to me the reasoning of renaming all the types named
Query to Data. I'm talking about this PR
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10779 It doesn't make sense to
me that a bunch of types that are used to run queries aren't named Query
anymore. Like ViewQuery on the ViewNode is the type of the Query. I
don't really understand the point of the rename, it just seems like it
hides the fact that a query will run based on those types.

## Solution
Revert several renames in #10779.
## Changelog
- `ViewNode::ViewData` is now `ViewNode::ViewQuery` again.
## Migration Guide
- This PR amends the migration guide in

# Objective
Lightmaps, textures that store baked global illumination, have been a
mainstay of real-time graphics for decades. Bevy currently has no
support for them, so this pull request implements them.
## Solution
The new `Lightmap` component can be attached to any entity that contains
a `Handle<Mesh>` and a `StandardMaterial`. When present, it will be
applied in the PBR shader. Because multiple lightmaps are frequently
packed into atlases, each lightmap may have its own UV boundaries within
its texture. An `exposure` field is also provided, to control the
brightness of the lightmap.
Note that this PR doesn't provide any way to bake the lightmaps. That
can be done with [The Lightmapper] or another solution, such as Unity's
Bakery.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* A new component, `Lightmap`, is available, for baked global
illumination. If your mesh has a second UV channel (UV1), and you attach
this component to the entity with that mesh, Bevy will apply the texture
referenced in the lightmap.

# Objective
- Custom render passes, or future passes in the engine (such as
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164) need a better way to know
and indicate to the core passes whether the view color/depth/prepass
attachments have been cleared or not yet this frame, to know if they
should clear it themselves or load it.
## Solution
- For all render targets (depth textures, shadow textures, prepass
textures, main textures) use an atomic bool to track whether or not each
texture has been cleared this frame. Abstracted away in the new
ColorAttachment and DepthAttachment wrappers.
---
## Changelog
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()`, removed arguments.
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`, removed
arguments.
- Removed `Camera3d::clear_color`.
- Removed `Camera2d::clear_color`.
- Added `Camera::clear_color`.
- Added `ExtractedCamera::clear_color`.
- Added `ColorAttachment` and `DepthAttachment` wrappers.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- Core render passes now track when a texture is first bound as an
attachment in order to decide whether to clear or load it.
## Migration Guide
- Remove arguments to `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()` and
`ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`.
- Configure clear color on `Camera` instead of on `Camera3d` and
`Camera2d`.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- `ViewDepthTexture` must now be created via the `new()` method

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10786
## Solution
The bind_group_layout entries for the prepass were wrong when not all 4
prepass textures were used, as it just zipped [17, 18, 19, 20] with the
smallvec of prepass `bind_group_layout` entries that potentially didn't
contain 4 entries. (eg. if you had a depth and motion vector prepass but
no normal prepass, then depth would be correct but the entry for the
motion vector prepass would be 18 (normal prepass' spot) instead of 19).
Change the prepass `get_bind_group_layout_entries` function to return an
array of `[Option<BindGroupLayoutEntryBuilder>; 4]` and only add the
layout entry if it exists.
# Objective
- Shorten paths by removing unnecessary prefixes
## Solution
- Remove the prefixes from many paths which do not need them. Finding
the paths was done automatically using built-in refactoring tools in
Jetbrains RustRover.
