# Objective
- Add support for the “classic” distance fog effect, as well as a more advanced atmospheric fog effect.
## Solution
This PR:
- Introduces a new `FogSettings` component that controls distance fog per-camera.
- Adds support for three widely used “traditional” fog falloff modes: `Linear`, `Exponential` and `ExponentialSquared`, as well as a more advanced `Atmospheric` fog;
- Adds support for directional light influence over fog color;
- Extracts fog via `ExtractComponent`, then uses a prepare system that sets up a new dynamic uniform struct (`Fog`), similar to other mesh view types;
- Renders fog in PBR material shader, as a final adjustment to the `output_color`, after PBR is computed (but before tone mapping);
- Adds a new `StandardMaterial` flag to enable fog; (`fog_enabled`)
- Adds convenience methods for easier artistic control when creating non-linear fog types;
- Adds documentation around fog.

## Changelog
### Added
- Added support for distance-based fog effects for PBR materials, controllable per-camera via the new `FogSettings` component;
- Added `FogFalloff` enum for selecting between three widely used “traditional” fog falloff modes: `Linear`, `Exponential` and `ExponentialSquared`, as well as a more advanced `Atmospheric` fog;
# Objective
Load skeletal weights and indices from GLTF files. Animate meshes.
## Solution
- Load skeletal weights and indices from GLTF files.
- Added `SkinnedMesh` component and ` SkinnedMeshInverseBindPose` asset
- Added `extract_skinned_meshes` to extract joint matrices.
- Added queue phase systems for enqueuing the buffer writes.
Some notes:
- This ports part of # #2359 to the current main.
- This generates new `BufferVec`s and bind groups every frame. The expectation here is that the number of `Query::get` calls during extract is probably going to be the stronger bottleneck, with up to 256 calls per skinned mesh. Until that is optimized, caching buffers and bind groups is probably a non-concern.
- Unfortunately, due to the uniform size requirements, this means a 16KB buffer is allocated for every skinned mesh every frame. There's probably a few ways to get around this, but most of them require either compute shaders or storage buffers, which are both incompatible with WebGL2.

adds an example using UI for something more related to a game than the current UI examples.
Example with a game menu:
* new game - will display settings for 5 seconds before returning to menu
* preferences - can modify the settings, with two sub menus
* quit - will quit the game
I wanted a more complex UI example before starting the UI rewrite to have ground for comparison

I have run the VSCode Extension [markdownlint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint) on all Markdown Files in the Repo.
The provided Rules are documented here: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/v0.23.1/doc/Rules.md
Rules I didn't follow/fix:
* MD024/no-duplicate-heading
* Changelog: Here Heading will always repeat.
* Examples Readme: Platform-specific documentation should be symmetrical.
* MD025/single-title
* MD026/no-trailing-punctuation
* Caused by the ! in "Hello, World!".
* MD033/no-inline-html
* The plugins_guidlines file does need HTML, so the shown badges aren't downscaled too much.
* ~~MD036/no-emphasis-as-heading:~~
* ~~This Warning only Appears in the Github Issue Templates and can be ignored.~~
* ~~MD041/first-line-heading~~
* ~~Only appears in the Readme for the AlienCake example Assets, which is unimportant.~~

I also sorted the Examples in the Readme and Cargo.toml in this order/Priority:
* Topic/Folder
* Introductionary Examples
* Alphabetical Order
The explanation for each case, where it isn't Alphabetical :
* Diagnostics
* log_diagnostics: The usage of inbuild Diagnostics is more important than creating your own.
* ECS (Entity Component System)
* ecs_guide: The guide should be read, before diving into other Features.
* Reflection
* reflection: Basic Explanation should be read, before more advanced Topics.
* WASM Examples
* hello_wasm: It's "Hello, World!".
