# Objective
When the user renders multiple cameras to the same output texture, it
can sometimes be confusing what `ClearColorConfig` is necessary for each
camera to avoid overwriting the previous camera's output. This is
particular true in cases where the user uses mixed HDR cameras, which
means that their scene is being rendered to different internal textures.
## Solution
When a view has a configured viewport, set the GPU scissor in the
upscaling node so we don't overwrite areas that were written to by other
cameras.
## Testing
Ran the `split_screen` example.
# Objective
- Actually use the value assigned to `d_xz`, like in [the original SMAA
implementation](https://github.com/iryoku/smaa/blob/master/SMAA.hlsl#L960).
This not already being the case was likely a mistake when converting
from HLSL to WGSL
## Solution
- Use `d_xz.x` and `d_xz.y` instead of `d.x` and `d.z`
## Testing
- Quickly tested on Windows 11, `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` `1.79.0` with
the latest NVIDIA drivers. App runs with SMAA enabled and everything
seems to work as intended
- I didn't observe any major visual difference between this and the
previous version, though this should be more correct as it matches the
original SMAA implementation
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14036
## Solution
- Add a view space transformation for the skybox
## Testing
- I have tested the newly added `transform` field using the `skybox`
example.

This commit creates a new built-in postprocessing shader that's designed
to hold miscellaneous postprocessing effects, and starts it off with
chromatic aberration. Possible future effects include vignette, film
grain, and lens distortion.
[Chromatic aberration] is a common postprocessing effect that simulates
lenses that fail to focus all colors of light to a single point. It's
often used for impact effects and/or horror games. This patch uses the
technique from *Inside* ([Gjøl & Svendsen 2016]), which allows the
developer to customize the particular color pattern to achieve different
effects. Unity HDRP uses the same technique, while Unreal has a
hard-wired fixed color pattern.
A new example, `post_processing`, has been added, in order to
demonstrate the technique. The existing `post_processing` shader has
been renamed to `custom_post_processing`, for clarity.

## Changelog
### Added
* Chromatic aberration is now available as a built-in postprocessing
effect. To use it, add `ChromaticAberration` to your camera.
# Objective
- Bevy currently has lot of invalid intra-doc links, let's fix them!
- Also make CI test them, to avoid future regressions.
- Helps with #1983 (but doesn't fix it, as there could still be explicit
links to docs.rs that are broken)
## Solution
- Make `cargo r -p ci -- doc-check` check fail on warnings (could also
be changed to just some specific lints)
- Manually fix all the warnings (note that in some cases it was unclear
to me what the fix should have been, I'll try to highlight them in a
self-review)

# Objective

```
## Solution
- Ensure that `DEPTH_TEXTURE_SAMPLING_SUPPORTED` is either `true` or
`false`, it shouldn't be completely missing.
## Testing
- Building on WASM without default features, which now seemingly no
longer includes webgl, will panic on startup with a message saying that
no wgpu backend was selected. This is much more helpful than the compile
time failure:
```
No wgpu backend feature that is implemented for the target platform was enabled
```
- I can see an argument for making this a compile time failure, however
the current failure mode is very confusing for novice users, and
provides no clues for how to fix it. If we want this to fail at compile
time, we should do it in a way that fails with a helpful message,
similar to what this PR acheives.
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.
* Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13813
* Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13810
Tested a combined scene with both regular meshes and meshlet meshes
with:
* Regular forward setup
* Forward + normal/motion vector prepasses
* Deferred (with depth prepass since that's required)
* Deferred + depth/normal/motion vector prepasses
Still broken:
* Using meshlet meshes rendering in deferred and regular meshes
rendering in forward + depth/normal prepass. I don't know how to fix
this at the moment, so for now I've just add instructions to not mix
them.
Changes:
- Track whether an output texture has been written to yet and only clear
it on the first write.
- Use `ClearColorConfig` on `CameraOutputMode` instead of a raw
`LoadOp`.
- Track whether a output texture has been seen when specializing the
upscaling pipeline and use alpha blending for extra cameras rendering to
that texture that do not specify an explicit blend mode.
Fixes#6754
## Testing
Tested against provided test case in issue:
---
## Changelog
- Allow cameras rendering to the same output texture with mixed hdr to
work correctly.
## Migration Guide
- - Change `CameraOutputMode` to use `ClearColorConfig` instead of
`LoadOp`.
# Objective
Skip unnecessary blit then tonemapping is set to none.
## Testing
Only tested locally on our app.
## Changelog
Changed tonemapping not to execute in case it is set to none.

This commit implements a large subset of [*subpixel morphological
antialiasing*], better known as SMAA. SMAA is a 2011 antialiasing
technique that detects jaggies in an aliased image and smooths them out.
Despite its age, it's been a continual staple of games for over a
decade. Four quality presets are available: *low*, *medium*, *high*, and
*ultra*. I set the default to *high*, on account of modern GPUs being
significantly faster than they were in 2011.
Like the already-implemented FXAA, SMAA works on an unaliased image.
Unlike FXAA, it requires three passes: (1) edge detection; (2) blending
weight calculation; (3) neighborhood blending. Each of the first two
passes writes an intermediate texture for use by the next pass. The
first pass also writes to a stencil buffer in order to dramatically
reduce the number of pixels that the second pass has to examine. Also
unlike FXAA, two built-in lookup textures are required; I bundle them
into the library in compressed KTX2 format.
The [reference implementation of SMAA] is in HLSL, with abundant use of
preprocessor macros to achieve GLSL compatibility. Unfortunately, the
reference implementation predates WGSL by over a decade, so I had to
translate the HLSL to WGSL manually. As much as was reasonably possible
without sacrificing readability, I tried to translate line by line,
preserving comments, both to aid reviewing and to allow patches to the
HLSL to more easily apply to the WGSL. Most of SMAA's features are
supported, but in the interests of making this patch somewhat less huge,
I skipped a few of the more exotic ones:
* The temporal variant is currently unsupported. This is and has been
used in shipping games, so supporting temporal SMAA would be useful
follow-up work. It would, however, require some significant work on TAA
to ensure compatibility, so I opted to skip it in this patch.
* Depth- and chroma-based edge detection are unimplemented; only luma
is. Depth is lower-quality, but faster; chroma is higher-quality, but
slower. Luma is the suggested default edge detection algorithm. (Note
that depth-based edge detection wouldn't work on WebGL 2 anyway, because
of the Naga bug whereby depth sampling is miscompiled in GLSL. This is
the same bug that prevents depth of field from working on that
platform.)
* Predicated thresholding is currently unsupported.
* My implementation is incompatible with SSAA and MSAA, unlike the
original; MSAA must be turned off to use SMAA in Bevy. I believe this
feature was rarely used in practice.
The `anti_aliasing` example has been updated to allow experimentation
with and testing of the different SMAA quality presets. Along the way, I
refactored the example's help text rendering code a bit to eliminate
code repetition.
SMAA is fully supported on WebGL 2.
Fixes#9819.

- `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`,

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`.

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.
# Objective
- Motion blur does not currently work with skyboxes or anything else
that does not write to depth.
## Solution
- When computing blur, include fragments with no depth, as long as they
are onscreen.
## Testing
- Tested with the examples - the motion_blur example uncovered a bug
with this fix, where offscreen pixels where now being sampled and
causing artifacts.
- Attached example showing the skybox being sampled in the blur (note
the feathering on edges):
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2632925/fc14b0c1-2394-46a5-a2b9-a859efcd23ef
# Objective
- In particularly dark scenes, auto-exposure would lead to an unexpected
darkening of the view.
- Fixes#13446.
## Solution
The average luminance should default to something else than 0.0 instead,
when there are no samples. We set it to `settings.min_log_lum`.
## Testing
I was able to reproduce the problem on the `auto_exposure` example by
setting the point light intensity to 2000 and looking into the
right-hand corner. There was a sudden darkening.
Now, the discontinuity is gone.

## Changelog

This commit, a revamp of #12959, implements screen-space reflections
(SSR), which approximate real-time reflections based on raymarching
through the depth buffer and copying samples from the final rendered
frame. This patch is a relatively minimal implementation of SSR, so as
to provide a flexible base on which to customize and build in the
future. However, it's based on the production-quality [raymarching code
by Tomasz
Stachowiak](https://gist.github.com/h3r2tic/9c8356bdaefbe80b1a22ae0aaee192db).
For a general basic overview of screen-space reflections, see
[1](https://lettier.github.io/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners/screen-space-reflection.html).
The raymarching shader uses the basic algorithm of tracing forward in
large steps, refining that trace in smaller increments via binary
search, and then using the secant method. No temporal filtering or
roughness blurring, is performed at all; for this reason, SSR currently
only operates on very shiny surfaces. No acceleration via the
hierarchical Z-buffer is implemented (though note that
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12899 will add the
infrastructure for this). Reflections are traced at full resolution,
which is often considered slow. All of these improvements and more can
be follow-ups.
SSR is built on top of the deferred renderer and is currently only
supported in that mode. Forward screen-space reflections are possible
albeit uncommon (though e.g. *Doom Eternal* uses them); however, they
require tracing from the previous frame, which would add complexity.
This patch leaves the door open to implementing SSR in the forward
rendering path but doesn't itself have such an implementation.
Screen-space reflections aren't supported in WebGL 2, because they
require sampling from the depth buffer, which Naga can't do because of a
bug (`sampler2DShadow` is incorrectly generated instead of `sampler2D`;
this is the same reason why depth of field is disabled on that
platform).
To add screen-space reflections to a camera, use the
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsBundle` bundle or the
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` component. In addition to
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings`, `DepthPrepass` and `DeferredPrepass`
must also be present for the reflections to show up. The
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` component contains several settings
that artists can tweak, and also comes with sensible defaults.
A new example, `ssr`, has been added. It's loosely based on the
[three.js ocean
sample](https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_shaders_ocean.html), but all
the assets are original. Note that the three.js demo has no screen-space
reflections and instead renders a mirror world. In contrast to #12959,
this demo tests not only a cube but also a more complex model (the
flight helmet).
## Changelog
### Added
* Screen-space reflections can be enabled for very smooth surfaces by
adding the `ScreenSpaceReflections` component to a camera. Deferred
rendering must be enabled for the reflections to appear.
Added a Grey trait to allow colors to create a generic "grey" color.
This currently assumes the color spaces follow the same gradient, which
I'm pretty sure isn't true, but it should make a "grey-ish" color
relative to the provided intensity.
# Objective
- Implements #13206
## Solution
- A small `Grey` trait was added and implemented for the common color
kinds.
## Testing
- Currently untested, unit tests exposed the non-linear relation between
colors. I am debating adding an example to show this, as I have no idea
what color space represents what relation of grey, and I figure others
may be similarly confused.
## Changelog
- The `Grey` trait was added, and the corresponding `grey`
## BREAKING CHANGES
The const qualifier for LinearRGBA::gray was removed (the symbol still
exists via a trait, it's just not const anymore)
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.
This commit implements a more physically-accurate, but slower, form of
fog than the `bevy_pbr::fog` module does. Notably, this *volumetric fog*
allows for light beams from directional lights to shine through,
creating what is known as *light shafts* or *god rays*.
To add volumetric fog to a scene, add `VolumetricFogSettings` to the
camera, and add `VolumetricLight` to directional lights that you wish to
be volumetric. `VolumetricFogSettings` has numerous settings that allow
you to define the accuracy of the simulation, as well as the look of the
fog. Currently, only interaction with directional lights that have
shadow maps is supported. Note that the overhead of the effect scales
directly with the number of directional lights in use, so apply
`VolumetricLight` sparingly for the best results.
The overall algorithm, which is implemented as a postprocessing effect,
is a combination of the techniques described in [Scratchapixel] and
[this blog post]. It uses raymarching in screen space, transformed into
shadow map space for sampling and combined with physically-based
modeling of absorption and scattering. Bevy employs the widely-used
[Henyey-Greenstein phase function] to model asymmetry; this essentially
allows light shafts to fade into and out of existence as the user views
them.
Volumetric rendering is a huge subject, and I deliberately kept the
scope of this commit small. Possible follow-ups include:
1. Raymarching at a lower resolution.
2. A post-processing blur (especially useful when combined with (1)).
3. Supporting point lights and spot lights.
4. Supporting lights with no shadow maps.
5. Supporting irradiance volumes and reflection probes.
6. Voxel components that reuse the volumetric fog code to create voxel
shapes.
7. *Horizon: Zero Dawn*-style clouds.
These are all useful, but out of scope of this patch for now, to keep
things tidy and easy to review.
A new example, `volumetric_fog`, has been added to demonstrate the
effect.
## Changelog
### Added
* A new component, `VolumetricFog`, is available, to allow for a more
physically-accurate, but more resource-intensive, form of fog.
* A new component, `VolumetricLight`, can be placed on directional
lights to make them interact with `VolumetricFog`. Notably, this allows
such lights to emit light shafts/god rays.

# Objective
- Depth of field is currently disabled on any wasm targets, but the bug
it's trying to avoid is only an issue in webgl.
## Solution
- Enable dof when compiling for webgpu
- I also remove the msaa check because sampling a depth texture doesn't
work with or without msaa in webgl
- Unfortunately, Bokeh seems to be broken when using webgpu, so default
to Gaussian instead to make sure the defaults have the broadest platform
support
## Testing
- I added dof to the 3d_shapes example and compiled it to webgpu to
confirm it works
- I also tried compiling to webgl to confirm things still works and dof
isn't rendered.

## Solution
- Even if the number of renderables is empty, the transparent phase need
to run to set the clear color.
## Testing
- Tested on the `clear_color` example
This commit implements the [depth of field] effect, simulating the blur
of objects out of focus of the virtual lens. Either the [hexagonal
bokeh] effect or a faster Gaussian blur may be used. In both cases, the
implementation is a simple separable two-pass convolution. This is not
the most physically-accurate real-time bokeh technique that exists;
Unreal Engine has [a more accurate implementation] of "cinematic depth
of field" from 2018. However, it's simple, and most engines provide
something similar as a fast option, often called "mobile" depth of
field.
The general approach is outlined in [a blog post from 2017]. We take
advantage of the fact that both Gaussian blurs and hexagonal bokeh blurs
are *separable*. This means that their 2D kernels can be reduced to a
small number of 1D kernels applied one after another, asymptotically
reducing the amount of work that has to be done. Gaussian blurs can be
accomplished by blurring horizontally and then vertically, while
hexagonal bokeh blurs can be done with a vertical blur plus a diagonal
blur, plus two diagonal blurs. In both cases, only two passes are
needed. Bokeh requires the first pass to have a second render target and
requires two subpasses in the second pass, which decreases its
performance relative to the Gaussian blur.
The bokeh blur is generally more aesthetically pleasing than the
Gaussian blur, as it simulates the effect of a camera more accurately.
The shape of the bokeh circles are determined by the number of blades of
the aperture. In our case, we use a hexagon, which is usually considered
specific to lower-quality cameras. (This is a downside of the fast
hexagon approach compared to the higher-quality approaches.) The blur
amount is generally specified by the [f-number], which we use to compute
the focal length from the film size and FOV. By default, we simulate
standard cinematic cameras of f/1 and [Super 35]. The developer can
customize these values as desired.
A new example has been added to demonstrate depth of field. It allows
customization of the mode (Gaussian vs. bokeh), focal distance and
f-numbers. The test scene is inspired by a [blog post on depth of field
in Unity]; however, the effect is implemented in a completely different
way from that blog post, and all the assets (textures, etc.) are
original.

This commit fixes two issues in auto_exposure.wgsl:
* A `storageBarrier()` was incorrectly used where a `workgroupBarrier()`
should be used instead;
* Resetting the `histogram_shared` array would write beyond the 64th
index, which is out of bounds.
## Solution
The first issue is fixed by using the appropriate workgroupBarrier
instead;
The second issue is fixed by adding a range check before setting
`histogram_shared[local_invocation_index] = 0u`.
## Testing
These changes were tested using the Xcode metal profiler, and I could
not find any noticable change in compute shader performance.
# Objective
Fixes#13097 and other issues preventing the motion blur example from
working on wasm
## Solution
- Use a vec2 for padding
- Fix error initializing the `MotionBlur` struct on wasm+webgl2
- Disable MSAA on wasm+webgl2
- Fix `GlobalsUniform` padding getting added on the shader side for
webgpu builds
## Notes
The motion blur example now runs, but with artifacts. In addition to the
obvious black artifacts, the motion blur or dithering seem to just look
worse in a way I can't really describe. That may be expected.

# Objective
Currently, the 2d pipeline only has a transparent pass that is used for
everything. I want to have separate passes for opaque/alpha
mask/transparent meshes just like in 3d.
This PR does the basic work to start adding new phases to the 2d
pipeline and get the current setup a bit closer to 3d.
## Solution
- Use `ViewNode` for `MainTransparentPass2dNode`
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
- Rename everything to clarify that the main pass is currently the
transparent pass
---
## Changelog
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `Node2d::MainPass` to order your own custom render
node. You now need to order it relative to `Node2d::StartMainPass` or
`Node2d::EndMainPass`.
# Objective
`bevy_pbr/utils.wgsl` shader file contains mathematical constants and
color conversion functions. Both of those should be accessible without
enabling `bevy_pbr` feature. For example, tonemapping can be done in non
pbr scenario, and it uses color conversion functions.
Fixes#13207
## Solution
* Move mathematical constants (such as PI, E) from
`bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl` into `bevy_render/src/maths.wgsl`
* Move color conversion functions from `bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl`
into new file `bevy_render/src/color_operations.wgsl`
## Testing
Ran multiple examples, checked they are working:
* tonemapping
* color_grading
* 3d_scene
* animated_material
* deferred_rendering
* 3d_shapes
* fog
* irradiance_volumes
* meshlet
* parallax_mapping
* pbr
* reflection_probes
* shadow_biases
* 2d_gizmos
* light_gizmos

## Changelog
* Moved mathematical constants (such as PI, E) from
`bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl` into `bevy_render/src/maths.wgsl`
* Moved color conversion functions from `bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl`
into new file `bevy_render/src/color_operations.wgsl`
## Migration Guide
In user's shader code replace usage of mathematical constants from
`bevy_pbr::utils` to the usage of the same constants from
`bevy_render::maths`.
# Objective
- Add auto exposure/eye adaptation to the bevy render pipeline.
- Support features that users might expect from other engines:
- Metering masks
- Compensation curves
- Smooth exposure transitions
This PR is based on an implementation I already built for a personal
project before https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8809 was
submitted, so I wasn't able to adopt that PR in the proper way. I've
still drawn inspiration from it, so @fintelia should be credited as
well.
## Solution
An auto exposure compute shader builds a 64 bin histogram of the scene's
luminance, and then adjusts the exposure based on that histogram. Using
a histogram allows the system to ignore outliers like shadows and
specular highlights, and it allows to give more weight to certain areas
based on a mask.
---
## Changelog
- Added: AutoExposure plugin that allows to adjust a camera's exposure
based on it's scene's luminance.

Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail
(HLODs).
This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows
developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown
and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so
this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally,
this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show
different levels of detail.
This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented
later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline;
they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering.
However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the
lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and
shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often
want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as
*octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*.
The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is
that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the
camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note
that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children;
it must be placed on every mesh.
Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the
standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to
compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering
code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in
question, so that we don't lose early Z.
Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated
with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs,
display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this
efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we
precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a
`VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system.
A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well
as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It
demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of
detail.
[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map
[^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to
visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same
purpose.
## Changelog
### Added
* A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable
entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support.
This can be used to implement different levels of detail (LODs).

# Objective
- `README.md` is a common file that usually gives an overview of the
folder it is in.
- When on <https://crates.io>, `README.md` is rendered as the main
description.
- Many crates in this repository are lacking `README.md` files, which
makes it more difficult to understand their purpose.
<img width="1552" alt="image"

- There are also a few inconsistencies with `README.md` files that this
PR and its follow-ups intend to fix.
## Solution
- Create a `README.md` file for all crates that do not have one.
- This file only contains the title of the crate (underscores removed,
proper capitalization, acronyms expanded) and the <https://shields.io>
badges.
- Remove the `readme` field in `Cargo.toml` for `bevy` and
`bevy_reflect`.
- This field is redundant because [Cargo automatically detects
`README.md`
files](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-readme-field).
The field is only there if you name it something else, like `INFO.md`.
- Fix capitalization of `bevy_utils`'s `README.md`.
- It was originally `Readme.md`, which is inconsistent with the rest of
the project.
- I created two commits renaming it to `README.md`, because Git appears
to be case-insensitive.
- Expand acronyms in title of `bevy_ptr` and `bevy_utils`.
- In the commit where I created all the new `README.md` files, I
preferred using expanded acronyms in the titles. (E.g. "Bevy Developer
Tools" instead of "Bevy Dev Tools".)
- This commit changes the title of existing `README.md` files to follow
the same scheme.
- I do not feel strongly about this change, please comment if you
disagree and I can revert it.
- Add <https://shields.io> badges to `bevy_time` and `bevy_transform`,
which are the only crates currently lacking them.
---
## Changelog
- Added `README.md` files to all crates missing it.
This commit expands Bevy's existing tonemapping feature to a complete
set of filmic color grading tools, matching those of engines like Unity,
Unreal, and Godot. The following features are supported:
* White point adjustment. This is inspired by Unity's implementation of
the feature, but simplified and optimized. *Temperature* and *tint*
control the adjustments to the *x* and *y* chromaticity values of [CIE
1931]. Following Unity, the adjustments are made relative to the [D65
standard illuminant] in the [LMS color space].
* Hue rotation. This simply converts the RGB value to [HSV], alters the
hue, and converts back.
* Color correction. This allows the *gamma*, *gain*, and *lift* values
to be adjusted according to the standard [ASC CDL combined function].
* Separate color correction for shadows, midtones, and highlights.
Blender's source code was used as a reference for the implementation of
this. The midtone ranges can be adjusted by the user. To avoid abrupt
color changes, a small crossfade is used between the different sections
of the image, again following Blender's formulas.
A new example, `color_grading`, has been added, offering a GUI to change
all the color grading settings. It uses the same test scene as the
existing `tonemapping` example, which has been factored out into a
shared glTF scene.

## Changelog
### Added

`ColorGrading` component.
## Migration Guide
* `ColorGrading::gamma` and `ColorGrading::pre_saturation` are now set
separately for the `shadows`, `midtones`, and `highlights` sections. You
can migrate code with the `ColorGrading::all_sections` and
`ColorGrading::all_sections_mut` functions, which access and/or update
all sections at once.
* `ColorGrading::post_saturation` and `ColorGrading::exposure` are now
fields of `ColorGrading::global`.
## Screenshots
This commit implements opt-in GPU frustum culling, built on top of the
infrastructure in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12773. To
enable it on a camera, add the `GpuCulling` component to it. To
additionally disable CPU frustum culling, add the `NoCpuCulling`
component. Note that adding `GpuCulling` without `NoCpuCulling`
*currently* does nothing useful. The reason why `GpuCulling` doesn't
automatically imply `NoCpuCulling` is that I intend to follow this patch
up with GPU two-phase occlusion culling, and CPU frustum culling plus
GPU occlusion culling seems like a very commonly-desired mode.
Adding the `GpuCulling` component to a view puts that view into
*indirect mode*. This mode makes all drawcalls indirect, relying on the
mesh preprocessing shader to allocate instances dynamically. In indirect
mode, the `PreprocessWorkItem` `output_index` points not to a
`MeshUniform` instance slot but instead to a set of `wgpu`
`IndirectParameters`, from which it allocates an instance slot
dynamically if frustum culling succeeds. Batch building has been updated
to allocate and track indirect parameter slots, and the AABBs are now
supplied to the GPU as `MeshCullingData`.
A small amount of code relating to the frustum culling has been borrowed
from meshlets and moved into `maths.wgsl`. Note that standard Bevy
frustum culling uses AABBs, while meshlets use bounding spheres; this
means that not as much code can be shared as one might think.
This patch doesn't provide any way to perform GPU culling on shadow
maps, to avoid making this patch bigger than it already is. That can be
a followup.
## Changelog
### Added
* Frustum culling can now optionally be done on the GPU. To enable it,
add the `GpuCulling` component to a camera.
* To disable CPU frustum culling, add `NoCpuCulling` to a camera. Note
that `GpuCulling` doesn't automatically imply `NoCpuCulling`.

# Objective
- Adds per-object motion blur to the core 3d pipeline. This is a common
effect used in games and other simulations.
- Partially resolves#4710
## Solution
- This is a post-process effect that uses the depth and motion vector
buffers to estimate per-object motion blur. The implementation is
combined from knowledge from multiple papers and articles. The approach
itself, and the shader are quite simple. Most of the effort was in
wiring up the bevy rendering plumbing, and properly specializing for HDR
and MSAA.
- To work with MSAA, the MULTISAMPLED_SHADING wgpu capability is
required. I've extracted this code from #9000. This is because the
prepass buffers are multisampled, and require accessing with
`textureLoad` as opposed to the widely compatible `textureSample`.
- Added an example to demonstrate the effect of motion blur parameters.
## Future Improvements
- While this approach does have limitations, it's one of the most
commonly used, and is much better than camera motion blur, which does
not consider object velocity. For example, this implementation allows a
dolly to track an object, and that object will remain unblurred while
the background is blurred. The biggest issue with this implementation is
that blur is constrained to the boundaries of objects which results in
hard edges. There are solutions to this by either dilating the object or
the motion vector buffer, or by taking a different approach such as
https://casual-effects.com/research/McGuire2012Blur/index.html
- I'm using a noise PRNG function to jitter samples. This could be
replaced with a blue noise texture lookup or similar, however after
playing with the parameters, it gives quite nice results with 4 samples,
and is significantly better than the artifacts generated when not
jittering.
---
## Changelog
- Added: per-object motion blur. This can be enabled and configured by
adding the `MotionBlurBundle` to a camera entity.

# Objective
- Fixes#12976
## Solution
This one is a doozy.
- Run `cargo +beta clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features` and
fix all issues
- This includes:
- Moving inner attributes to be outer attributes, when the item in
question has both inner and outer attributes
- Use `ptr::from_ref` in more scenarios
- Extend the valid idents list used by `clippy:doc_markdown` with more
names
- Use `Clone::clone_from` when possible
- Remove redundant `ron` import
- Add backticks to **so many** identifiers and items
- I'm sorry whoever has to review this
---
## Changelog
- Added links to more identifiers in documentation.
# 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
make morph targets and tonemapping more tolerant of delayed image
loading.
neither of these actually fail currently unless using a bespoke loader
(and even then it would be rare), but i am working on adding throttling
for asset gpu uploads (as a stopgap until we can do proper asset
streaming) and they break with that.
## Solution
when a mesh with morph targets is uploaded to the gpu, the prepare
function uploads the morph target texture if it's available, otherwise
it uploads without morph targets. this is generally fine as long as
morph targets are typically loaded from bytes (in gltf loader), but may
fail for a custom loader if the asset server async-loads the target
texture and the texture is not available yet. the mesh fails to render
and doesn't update when the image is loaded
-> if morph targets are specified but not ready yet, retry mesh upload
next frame
tonemapping `unwrap`s on the lookup table image. this is never a problem
since the image is added via `include_bytes!`, but could be a problem in
future with asset gpu throttling/streaming.
-> if the lookup texture is not yet available, use a fallback
-> in the node, check if the fallback was used before caching the bind
group
# 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.
