# Objective
This pull request implements *reflection probes*, which generalize
environment maps to allow for multiple environment maps in the same
scene, each of which has an axis-aligned bounding box. This is a
standard feature of physically-based renderers and was inspired by [the
corresponding feature in Blender's Eevee renderer].
## Solution
This is a minimal implementation of reflection probes that allows
artists to define cuboid bounding regions associated with environment
maps. For every view, on every frame, a system builds up a list of the
nearest 4 reflection probes that are within the view's frustum and
supplies that list to the shader. The PBR fragment shader searches
through the list, finds the first containing reflection probe, and uses
it for indirect lighting, falling back to the view's environment map if
none is found. Both forward and deferred renderers are fully supported.
A reflection probe is an entity with a pair of components, *LightProbe*
and *EnvironmentMapLight* (as well as the standard *SpatialBundle*, to
position it in the world). The *LightProbe* component (along with the
*Transform*) defines the bounding region, while the
*EnvironmentMapLight* component specifies the associated diffuse and
specular cubemaps.
A frequent question is "why two components instead of just one?" The
advantages of this setup are:
1. It's readily extensible to other types of light probes, in particular
*irradiance volumes* (also known as ambient cubes or voxel global
illumination), which use the same approach of bounding cuboids. With a
single component that applies to both reflection probes and irradiance
volumes, we can share the logic that implements falloff and blending
between multiple light probes between both of those features.
2. It reduces duplication between the existing *EnvironmentMapLight* and
these new reflection probes. Systems can treat environment maps attached
to cameras the same way they treat environment maps applied to
reflection probes if they wish.
Internally, we gather up all environment maps in the scene and place
them in a cubemap array. At present, this means that all environment
maps must have the same size, mipmap count, and texture format. A
warning is emitted if this restriction is violated. We could potentially
relax this in the future as part of the automatic mipmap generation
work, which could easily do texture format conversion as part of its
preprocessing.
An easy way to generate reflection probe cubemaps is to bake them in
Blender and use the `export-blender-gi` tool that's part of the
[`bevy-baked-gi`] project. This tool takes a `.blend` file containing
baked cubemaps as input and exports cubemap images, pre-filtered with an
embedded fork of the [glTF IBL Sampler], alongside a corresponding
`.scn.ron` file that the scene spawner can use to recreate the
reflection probes.
Note that this is intentionally a minimal implementation, to aid
reviewability. Known issues are:
* Reflection probes are basically unsupported on WebGL 2, because WebGL
2 has no cubemap arrays. (Strictly speaking, you can have precisely one
reflection probe in the scene if you have no other cubemaps anywhere,
but this isn't very useful.)
* Reflection probes have no falloff, so reflections will abruptly change
when objects move from one bounding region to another.
* As mentioned before, all cubemaps in the world of a given type
(diffuse or specular) must have the same size, format, and mipmap count.
Future work includes:
* Blending between multiple reflection probes.
* A falloff/fade-out region so that reflected objects disappear
gradually instead of vanishing all at once.
* Irradiance volumes for voxel-based global illumination. This should
reuse much of the reflection probe logic, as they're both GI techniques
based on cuboid bounding regions.
* Support for WebGL 2, by breaking batches when reflection probes are
used.
These issues notwithstanding, I think it's best to land this with
roughly the current set of functionality, because this patch is useful
as is and adding everything above would make the pull request
significantly larger and harder to review.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* A new *LightProbe* component is available that specifies a bounding
region that an *EnvironmentMapLight* applies to. The combination of a
*LightProbe* and an *EnvironmentMapLight* offers *reflection probe*
functionality similar to that available in other engines.

# Objective
- No point in keeping Meshes/Images in RAM once they're going to be sent
to the GPU, and kept in VRAM. This saves a _significant_ amount of
memory (several GBs) on scenes like bistro.
- References
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/1782
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8624
## Solution
- Augment RenderAsset with the capability to unload the underlying asset
after extracting to the render world.
- Mesh/Image now have a cpu_persistent_access field. If this field is
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload, the asset will be unloaded from
Assets<T>.
- A new AssetEvent is sent upon dropping the last strong handle for the
asset, which signals to the RenderAsset to remove the GPU version of the
asset.
---
## Changelog
- Added `AssetEvent::NoLongerUsed` and
`AssetEvent::is_no_longer_used()`. This event is sent when the last
strong handle of an asset is dropped.
- Rewrote the API for `RenderAsset` to allow for unloading the asset
data from the CPU.
- Added `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy`.
- Added `Mesh::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `Image::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `ImageLoaderSettings::cpu_persistent_access`.
- Added `ExrTextureLoaderSettings`.
- Added `HdrTextureLoaderSettings`.
## Migration Guide
- Asset loaders (GLTF, etc) now load meshes and textures without
`cpu_persistent_access`. These assets will be removed from
`Assets<Mesh>` and `Assets<Image>` once `RenderAssets<Mesh>` and
`RenderAssets<Image>` contain the GPU versions of these assets, in order
to reduce memory usage. If you require access to the asset data from the
CPU in future frames after the GLTF asset has been loaded, modify all
dependent `Mesh` and `Image` assets and set `cpu_persistent_access` to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`.
- `Mesh` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `Image` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `MorphTargetImage::new()` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access`
parameter. Set it to `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the
previous behavior.
- `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder::add_texture()` now requires that the
`TextureAtlas` you pass has an `Image` with `cpu_persistent_access:
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`. Ensure you construct the image
properly for the texture atlas.
- The `RenderAsset` trait has significantly changed, and requires
adapting your existing implementations.
- The trait now requires `Clone`.
- The `ExtractedAsset` associated type has been removed (the type itself
is now extracted).
- The signature of `prepare_asset()` is slightly different
- A new `persistence_policy()` method is now required (return
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload to match the previous behavior).
- Match on the new `NoLongerUsed` variant for exhaustive matches of
`AssetEvent`.
# 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.

This expands upon https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11134.
I found myself needing `tonemapping_pipeline_key` for some custom 2d
draw functions. #11134 exported the 3d version of
`tonemapping_pipeline_key` and this PR exports the 2d version. I also
made `alpha_mode_pipeline_key` public for good measure.
Turns out whenever a normal prepass was active (which includes whenever
you use SSAO) we were attempting to read the normals from the prepass
for the specular transmissive material. Since transmissive materials
don't participate in the prepass (unlike opaque materials) we were
reading the normals from “behind” the mesh, producing really weird
visual results.
# Objective
- Fixes#11112.
## Solution
- We introduce a new `READS_VIEW_TRANSMISSION_TEXTURE` mesh pipeline
key;
- We set it whenever the material properties has the
`reads_view_transmission_texture` flag set; (i.e. the material is
transmissive)
- If this key is set we prevent the reading of normals from the prepass,
by not setting the `LOAD_PREPASS_NORMALS` shader def.
---
## Changelog
### Fixed
- Specular transmissive materials no longer attempt to erroneously load
prepass normals, and now work correctly even with the normal prepass
active (e.g. when using SSAO)
# 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
- Make the implementation order consistent between all sources to fit
the order in the trait.
## Solution
- Change the implementation order.
Matches versioning & features from other Cargo.toml files in the
project.
# Objective
Resolves#10932
## Solution
Added smallvec to the bevy_utils cargo.toml and added a line to
re-export the crate. Target version and features set to match what's
used in the other bevy crates.
# Objective
- Fix an inconsistency in the calculation of aspect ratio's.
- Fixes#10288
## Solution
- Created an intermediate `AspectRatio` struct, as suggested in the
issue. This is currently just used in any places where aspect ratio
calculations happen, to prevent doing it wrong. In my and @mamekoro 's
opinion, it would be better if this was used instead of a normal `f32`
in various places, but I didn't want to make too many changes to begin
with.
## Migration Guide
- Anywhere where you are currently expecting a f32 when getting aspect
ratios, you will now receive a `AspectRatio` struct. this still holds
the same value.

# Objective
- Users are often confused when their command effects are not visible in
the next system. This PR auto inserts sync points if there are deferred
buffers on a system and there are dependents on that system (systems
with after relationships).
- Manual sync points can lead to users adding more than needed and it's
hard for the user to have a global understanding of their system graph
to know which sync points can be merged. However we can easily calculate
which sync points can be merged automatically.
## Solution
1. Add new edge types to allow opting out of new behavior
2. Insert an sync point for each edge whose initial node has deferred
system params.
3. Reuse nodes if they're at the number of sync points away.
* add opt outs for specific edges with `after_ignore_deferred`,
`before_ignore_deferred` and `chain_ignore_deferred`. The
`auto_insert_apply_deferred` boolean on `ScheduleBuildSettings` can be
set to false to opt out for the whole schedule.
## Perf
This has a small negative effect on schedule build times.

---
## Changelog
- Auto insert sync points and added `after_ignore_deferred`,
`before_ignore_deferred`, `chain_no_deferred` and
`auto_insert_apply_deferred` APIs to opt out of this behavior
## Migration Guide
- `apply_deferred` points are added automatically when there is ordering
relationship with a system that has deferred parameters like `Commands`.
If you want to opt out of this you can switch from `after`, `before`,
and `chain` to the corresponding `ignore_deferred` API,
`after_ignore_deferred`, `before_ignore_deferred` or
`chain_ignore_deferred` for your system/set ordering.
- You can also set `ScheduleBuildSettings::auto_insert_sync_points` to
`false` if you want to do it for the whole schedule. Note that in this
mode you can still add `apply_deferred` points manually.
- For most manual insertions of `apply_deferred` you should remove them
as they cannot be merged with the automatically inserted points and
might reduce parallelizability of the system graph.
## TODO
- [x] remove any apply_deferred used in the engine
- [x] ~~decide if we should deprecate manually using apply_deferred.~~
We'll still allow inserting manual sync points for now for whatever edge
cases users might have.
- [x] Update migration guide
- [x] rerun schedule build benchmarks

# Objective
Keep up to date with wgpu.
## Solution
Update the wgpu version.
Currently blocked on naga_oil updating to naga 0.14 and releasing a new
version.
3d scenes (or maybe any scene with lighting?) currently don't render
anything due to
```
error: naga_oil bug, please file a report: composer failed to build a valid header: Type [2] '' is invalid
= Capability Capabilities(CUBE_ARRAY_TEXTURES) is required
```
I'm not sure what should be passed in for `wgpu::InstanceFlags`, or if we want to make the gles3minorversion configurable (might be useful for debugging?)
Currently blocked on https://github.com/bevyengine/naga_oil/pull/63, and https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/4569 to be fixed upstream in wgpu first.
## Known issues
Amd+windows+vulkan has issues with texture_binding_arrays (see the image [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10266#issuecomment-1819946278)), but that'll be fixed in the next wgpu/naga version, and you can just use dx12 as a workaround for now (Amd+linux mesa+vulkan texture_binding_arrays are fixed though).
---
## Changelog
Updated wgpu to 0.18, naga to 0.14.2, and naga_oil to 0.11.
- Windows desktop GL should now be less painful as it no longer requires Angle.
- You can now toggle shader validation and debug information for debug and release builds using `WgpuSettings.instance_flags` and [InstanceFlags](https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.18.0/wgpu/struct.InstanceFlags.html)
## Migration Guide
- `RenderPassDescriptor` `color_attachments` (as well as `RenderPassColorAttachment`, and `RenderPassDepthStencilAttachment`) now use `StoreOp::Store` or `StoreOp::Discard` instead of a `boolean` to declare whether or not they should be stored.
- `RenderPassDescriptor` now have `timestamp_writes` and `occlusion_query_set` fields. These can safely be set to `None`.
- `ComputePassDescriptor` now have a `timestamp_writes` field. This can be set to `None` for now.
- See the [wgpu changelog](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md#v0180-2023-10-25) for additional details
# Objective
add `RenderLayers` awareness to lights. lights default to
`RenderLayers::layer(0)`, and must intersect the camera entity's
`RenderLayers` in order to affect the camera's output.
note that lights already use renderlayers to filter meshes for shadow
casting. this adds filtering lights per view based on intersection of
camera layers and light layers.
fixes#3462
## Solution
PointLights and SpotLights are assigned to individual views in
`assign_lights_to_clusters`, so we simply cull the lights which don't
match the view layers in that function.
DirectionalLights are global, so we
- add the light layers to the `DirectionalLight` struct
- add the view layers to the `ViewUniform` struct
- check for intersection before processing the light in
`apply_pbr_lighting`
potential issue: when mesh/light layers are smaller than the view layers
weird results can occur. e.g:
camera = layers 1+2
light = layers 1
mesh = layers 2
the mesh does not cast shadows wrt the light as (1 & 2) == 0.
the light affects the view as (1+2 & 1) != 0.
the view renders the mesh as (1+2 & 2) != 0.
so the mesh is rendered and lit, but does not cast a shadow.
this could be fixed (so that the light would not affect the mesh in that
view) by adding the light layers to the point and spot light structs,
but i think the setup is pretty unusual, and space is at a premium in
those structs (adding 4 bytes more would reduce the webgl point+spot
light max count to 240 from 256).
I think typical usage is for cameras to have a single layer, and
meshes/lights to maybe have multiple layers to render to e.g. minimaps
as well as primary views.
if there is a good use case for the above setup and we should support
it, please let me know.
---
## Migration Guide
Lights no longer affect all `RenderLayers` by default, now like cameras
and meshes they default to `RenderLayers::layer(0)`. To recover the
previous behaviour and have all lights affect all views, add a
`RenderLayers::all()` component to the light entity.
# Objective
Fixes#5891.
For mikktspace normal maps, normals must be renormalized in vertex
shaders to match the way mikktspace bakes vertex tangents and normal
maps so that the exact inverse process is applied when shading.
However, for invalid normals like `vec3<f32>(0.0, 0.0, 0.0)`, this
normalization causes NaN values, and because it's in the vertex shader,
it affects the entire triangle and causes it to be shaded as black:
*A cone with a tip that has a vertex normal of [0, 0, 0], causing the
mesh to be shaded as black.*
In some cases, normals of zero are actually *useful*. For example, a
smoothly shaded cone without creases requires the apex vertex normal to
be zero, because there is no singular normal that works correctly, so
the apex shouldn't contribute to the overall shading. Duplicate vertices
for the apex fix some shading issues, but it causes visible creases and
is more expensive. See #5891 and #10298 for more details.
For correctly shaded cones and other similar low-density shapes with
sharp tips, vertex normals of zero can not be normalized in the vertex
shader.
## Solution
Only normalize the vertex normals and tangents in the vertex shader if
the normal isn't [0, 0, 0]. This way, mikktspace normal maps should
still work for everything except the zero normals, and the zero normals
will only be normalized in the fragment shader.
This allows us to render cones correctly:
Notice how there is still a weird shadow banding effect in one area. I
noticed that it can be fixed by normalizing
[here](d2614f2d80/crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr_functions.wgsl (L51)),
which produces a perfectly smooth cone without duplicate vertices:
I didn't add this change yet, because it seems a bit arbitrary. I can
add it here if that'd be useful or make another PR though.
# 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.
# Objective
- Materials should be a more frequent rebind then meshes (due to being
able to use a single vertex buffer, such as in #10164) and therefore
should be in a higher bind group.
---
## Changelog
- For 2d and 3d mesh/material setups (but not UI materials, or other
rendering setups such as gizmos, sprites, or text), mesh data is now in
bind group 1, and material data is now in bind group 2, which is swapped
from how they were before.
## Migration Guide
- Custom 2d and 3d mesh/material shaders should now use bind group 2
`@group(2) @binding(x)` for their bound resources, instead of bind group
1.
- Many internal pieces of rendering code have changed so that mesh data
is now in bind group 1, and material data is now in bind group 2.
Semi-custom rendering setups (that don't use the Material or Material2d
APIs) should adapt to these changes.
# Objective
the pbr prepass vertex shader currently only sets
`VertexOutput::world_position` when deferred or motion prepasses are
enabled.
the field is always in the vertex output so is otherwise undetermined,
and the calculation is very cheap.
## Solution
always set the world position in the pbr prepass vert shader.
# Objective
Related to #10612.
Enable the
[`clippy::manual_let_else`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#manual_let_else)
lint as a warning. The `let else` form seems more idiomatic to me than a
`match`/`if else` that either match a pattern or diverge, and from the
clippy doc, the lint doesn't seem to have any possible false positive.
## Solution
Add the lint as warning in `Cargo.toml`, refactor places where the lint
triggers.
# Objective
- Follow up to #9694
## Solution
- Same api as #9694 but adapted for `BindGroupLayoutEntry`
- Use the same `ShaderStages` visibilty for all entries by default
- Add `BindingType` helper function that mirror the wgsl equivalent and
that make writing layouts much simpler.
Before:
```rust
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor {
label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"),
entries: &[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 0,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Texture {
sample_type: TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true },
view_dimension: TextureViewDimension::D2,
multisampled: false,
},
count: None,
},
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 1,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering),
count: None,
},
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 2,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Buffer {
ty: bevy::render::render_resource::BufferBindingType::Uniform,
has_dynamic_offset: false,
min_binding_size: Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size()),
},
count: None,
},
],
});
```
After:
```rust
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(
"post_process_bind_group_layout"),
&BindGroupLayoutEntries::sequential(
ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
(
texture_2d_f32(),
sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering),
uniform_buffer(false, Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size())),
),
),
);
```
Here's a more extreme example in bevy_solari:

---
## Changelog
- Added `BindGroupLayoutEntries` and all `BindingType` helper functions.
## Migration Guide
`RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` doesn't take a
`BindGroupLayoutDescriptor` anymore. You need to provide the parameters
separately
```rust
// 0.12
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor {
label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"),
entries: &[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
// ...
},
],
});
// 0.13
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(
"post_process_bind_group_layout",
&[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
// ...
},
],
);
```

- [x] implement a `Dynamic` variant
- [x] update the `RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` api to match
the one from `RenderDevice::creat_bind_group()`
- [x] docs
# Objective
Kind of helps #10509
## Solution
Add a line to `prepass.wgsl` that ensure the `instance_index` push
constant is always used on WebGL 2. This is not a full fix, as the
_second_ a custom shader is used that doesn't use the push constant, the
breakage will resurface. We have satisfying medium term and long term
solutions. This is just a short term hack for 0.12.1 that will make more
cases work. See #10509 for more details.
# Objective
`wgpu` has a helper method `texture.as_image_copy()` for a common
pattern when making a default-like `ImageCopyTexture` from a texture.
This is used in various places in Bevy for texture copy operations, but
it was not used where `write_texture` is called.
## Solution
- Replace struct `ImageCopyTexture` initialization with
`texture.as_image_copy()` where appropriate

# Objective
fix webgpu+chrome(119) textureSample in non-uniform control flow error
## Solution
modify view transmission texture sampling to use textureSampleLevel.
there are no mips for the view transmission texture, so this doesn't
change the result, but it removes the need for the samples to be in
uniform control flow.
note: in future we may add a mipchain to the transmission texture to
improve the blur effect. if uniformity analysis hasn't improved, this
would require switching to manual derivative calculations (which is
something we plan to do anyway).
# Objective
- Standardize fmt for toml files
## Solution
- Add [taplo](https://taplo.tamasfe.dev/) to CI (check for fmt and diff
for toml files), for context taplo is used by the most popular extension
in VScode [Even Better
TOML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml
- Add contribution section to explain toml fmt with taplo.
Now to pass CI you need to run `taplo fmt --option indent_string=" "` or

# Objective
- Ensure ExtendedMaterial can be referenced in bevy_egui_inspector
correctly
## Solution
Add a more manual `TypePath` implementation to work around bugs in the
derive macro.
# Objective
- Reduce work from inactive cameras
Tracing was done on the `3d_shapes` example on PR
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10543 .
Doing tracing on a "real" application showed more instances of
unnecessary work.
## Solution
- Skip work on inactive cameras

# Objective
Fix a shader error that happens when using pbr morph targets.
## Solution
Fix the function name in the `prepass.wgsl` shader, which is incorrectly
prefixed with `morph::` (added in
61bad4eb57 (diff-97e4500f0a36bc6206d7b1490c8dd1a69459ee39dc6822eb9b2f7b160865f49fR42)).
This section of the shader is only enabled when using morph targets, so
it seems like there are no tests / examples using it?

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9077 (see this issue for
motivations)
## Solution
Implement 1 and 2 of the "How to fix it" section of
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9077
`update_directional_light_cascades` is split into
`clear_directional_light_cascades` and a generic
`build_directional_light_cascades`, to clear once and potentially insert
many times.
---
## Changelog
`DirectionalLight`'s computation is now generic over `CameraProjection`
and can work with custom camera projections.
## Migration Guide
If you have a component `MyCustomProjection` that implements
`CameraProjection`:
- You need to implement a new required associated method,
`get_frustum_corners`, returning an array of the corners of a subset of
the frustum with given `z_near` and `z_far`, in local camera space.
- You can now add the
`build_directional_light_cascades::<MyCustomProjection>` system in
`SimulationLightSystems::UpdateDirectionalLightCascades` after
`clear_directional_light_cascades` for your projection to work with
directional lights.

# Objective
Bevy's default bias values for directional and spot lights currently
cause significant artifacts. We should fix that so shadows look good by
default!
This is a less controversial/invasive alternative to #10188, which might
enable us to keep the default bias value low, but also has its own sets
of concerns and caveats that make it a risky choice for Bevy 0.12.
## Solution
Bump the default normal bias from `0.6` to `1.8`. There is precedent for
values in this general area as Godot has a default normal bias of `2.0`.
### Before
### After
## Migration Guide
The default `shadow_normal_bias` value for `DirectionalLight` and
`SpotLight` has changed to accommodate artifacts introduced with the new
shadow PCF changes. It is unlikely (especially given the new PCF shadow
behaviors with these values), but you might need to manually tweak this
value if your scene requires a lower bias and it relied on the previous
default value.
# Objective
fix crash / misbehaviour when `DeferredPrepass` is used without
`DepthPrepass`.
- Deferred lighting requires the depth prepass texture to be present, so
that the depth texture is available for binding. without it the deferred
lighting pass will use 0 for depth of all meshes.
- When `DeferredPrepass` is used without other prepass markers, and with
any materials that use `OpaqueRenderMode::Forward`, those entities will
try to queue to the `Opaque3dPrepass` render phase, which doesn't exist,
causing a crash.
## Solution
- check if the prepass phases exist before queueing
- generate prepass textures if `Opaque3dDeferred` is present
- add a note to the DeferredPrepass marker to note that DepthPrepass is
also required by the default deferred lighting pass
- also changed some `With<T>.is_some()`s to `Has<T>`s
# Objective
I was working with forward rendering prepass fragment shaders and ran
into an issue of not being able to access vertex colors in the prepass.
I was able to access vertex colors in regular fragment shaders as well
as in deferred shaders.
## Solution
It seems like this `if` was nested unintentionally as moving it outside
of the `deferred` block works.

## Changelog
Enable vertex colors in forward rendering prepass fragment shaders

This PR adds both diffuse and specular light transmission capabilities
to the `StandardMaterial`, with support for screen space refractions.
This enables realistically representing a wide range of real-world
materials, such as:
- Glass; (Including frosted glass)
- Transparent and translucent plastics;
- Various liquids and gels;
- Gemstones;
- Marble;
- Wax;
- Paper;
- Leaves;
- Porcelain.
Unlike existing support for transparency, light transmission does not
rely on fixed function alpha blending, and therefore works with both
`AlphaMode::Opaque` and `AlphaMode::Mask` materials.
## Solution
- Introduces a number of transmission related fields in the
`StandardMaterial`;
- For specular transmission:
- Adds logic to take a view main texture snapshot after the opaque
phase; (in order to perform screen space refractions)
- Introduces a new `Transmissive3d` phase to the renderer, to which all
meshes with `transmission > 0.0` materials are sent.
- Calculates a light exit point (of the approximate mesh volume) using
`ior` and `thickness` properties
- Samples the snapshot texture with an adaptive number of taps across a
`roughness`-controlled radius enabling “blurry” refractions
- For diffuse transmission:
- Approximates transmitted diffuse light by using a second, flipped +
displaced, diffuse-only Lambertian lobe for each light source.
## To Do
- [x] Figure out where `fresnel_mix()` is taking place, if at all, and
where `dielectric_specular` is being calculated, if at all, and update
them to use the `ior` value (Not a blocker, just a nice-to-have for more
correct BSDF)
- To the _best of my knowledge, this is now taking place, after
964340cdd. The fresnel mix is actually "split" into two parts in our
implementation, one `(1 - fresnel(...))` in the transmission, and
`fresnel()` in the light implementations. A surface with more
reflectance now will produce slightly dimmer transmission towards the
grazing angle, as more of the light gets reflected.
- [x] Add `transmission_texture`
- [x] Add `diffuse_transmission_texture`
- [x] Add `thickness_texture`
- [x] Add `attenuation_distance` and `attenuation_color`
- [x] Connect values to glTF loader
- [x] `transmission` and `transmission_texture`
- [x] `thickness` and `thickness_texture`
- [x] `ior`
- [ ] `diffuse_transmission` and `diffuse_transmission_texture` (needs
upstream support in `gltf` crate, not a blocker)
- [x] Add support for multiple screen space refraction “steps”
- [x] Conditionally create no transmission snapshot texture at all if
`steps == 0`
- [x] Conditionally enable/disable screen space refraction transmission
snapshots
- [x] Read from depth pre-pass to prevent refracting pixels in front of
the light exit point
- [x] Use `interleaved_gradient_noise()` function for sampling blur in a
way that benefits from TAA
- [x] Drill down a TAA `#define`, tweak some aspects of the effect
conditionally based on it
- [x] Remove const array that's crashing under HLSL (unless a new `naga`
release with https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/pull/2496 comes out before
we merge this)
- [ ] Look into alternatives to the `switch` hack for dynamically
indexing the const array (might not be needed, compilers seem to be
decent at expanding it)
- [ ] Add pipeline keys for gating transmission (do we really want/need
this?)
- [x] Tweak some material field/function names?
## A Note on Texture Packing
_This was originally added as a comment to the
`specular_transmission_texture`, `thickness_texture` and
`diffuse_transmission_texture` documentation, I removed it since it was
more confusing than helpful, and will likely be made redundant/will need
to be updated once we have a better infrastructure for preprocessing
assets_
Due to how channels are mapped, you can more efficiently use a single
shared texture image
for configuring the following:
- R - `specular_transmission_texture`
- G - `thickness_texture`
- B - _unused_
- A - `diffuse_transmission_texture`
The `KHR_materials_diffuse_transmission` glTF extension also defines a
`diffuseTransmissionColorTexture`,
that _we don't currently support_. One might choose to pack the
intensity and color textures together,
using RGB for the color and A for the intensity, in which case this
packing advice doesn't really apply.
---
## Changelog
- Added a new `Transmissive3d` render phase for rendering specular
transmissive materials with screen space refractions
- Added rendering support for transmitted environment map light on the
`StandardMaterial` as a fallback for screen space refractions
- Added `diffuse_transmission`, `specular_transmission`, `thickness`,
`ior`, `attenuation_distance` and `attenuation_color` to the
`StandardMaterial`
- Added `diffuse_transmission_texture`, `specular_transmission_texture`,
`thickness_texture` to the `StandardMaterial`, gated behind a new
`pbr_transmission_textures` cargo feature (off by default, for maximum
hardware compatibility)
- Added `Camera3d::screen_space_specular_transmission_steps` for
controlling the number of “layers of transparency” rendered for
transmissive objects
- Added a `TransmittedShadowReceiver` component for enabling shadows in
(diffusely) transmitted light. (disabled by default, as it requires
carefully setting up the `thickness` to avoid self-shadow artifacts)
- Added support for the `KHR_materials_transmission`,
`KHR_materials_ior` and `KHR_materials_volume` glTF extensions
- Renamed items related to temporal jitter for greater consistency
## Migration Guide
- `SsaoPipelineKey::temporal_noise` has been renamed to
`SsaoPipelineKey::temporal_jitter`
- The `TAA` shader def (controlled by the presence of the
`TemporalAntiAliasSettings` component in the camera) has been replaced
with the `TEMPORAL_JITTER` shader def (controlled by the presence of the
`TemporalJitter` component in the camera)
- `MeshPipelineKey::TAA` has been replaced by
`MeshPipelineKey::TEMPORAL_JITTER`
- The `TEMPORAL_NOISE` shader def has been consolidated with
`TEMPORAL_JITTER`
# Objective
Right now, we flip the `world_normal` in response to `double_sided &&
!is_front`, however when calculating `N` from tangents and the normal
map, we don't flip the normal read from the normal map, which produces
extremely weird results.
## Solution
- Pass `double_sided` and `is_front` flags to the
`apply_normal_mapping()` function and use them to conditionally flip
`Nt`
## Comparison
Note: These are from a custom scene running with the `transmission`
branch, (#8015) I noticed lighting got pretty weird for the back side of
translucent `double_sided` materials whenever I added a normal map.

## Changelog
- Fixed a bug where `StandardMaterial::double_sided` would interact
incorrectly with normal maps, producing broken results.
Extracted the easy stuff from #8974 .
# Problem
1. Commands from `update_previous_view_projections` would crash when
matching entities were despawned.
2. `TaaPipelineId` and `draw_3d_graph` module were not public.
3. When the motion vectors pointed to pixels that are now off screen, a
smearing artifact could occur.
# Solution
1. Use `try_insert` command instead.
2. Make them public, renaming to `TemporalAntiAliasPipelineId`.
3. Check for this case, and ignore history for pixels that are
off-screen.
# Objective
- `deferred_rendering` and `load_gltf` fail in WebGPU builds due to
textureSample() being called on the diffuse environment map texture
after non-uniform control flow
## Solution
- The diffuse environment map texture only has one mip, so use
`textureSampleLevel(..., 0.0)` to sample that mip and not require UV
gradient calculation.
# Objective
- Build on the changes in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9982
- Use `ImageSamplerDescriptor` as the "public image sampler descriptor"
interface in all places (for consistency)
- Make it possible to configure textures to use the "default" sampler
(as configured in the `DefaultImageSampler` resource)
- Fix a bug introduced in #9982 that prevents configured samplers from
being used in Basis, KTX2, and DDS textures
---
## Migration Guide
- When using the `Image` API, use `ImageSamplerDescriptor` instead of
`wgpu::SamplerDescriptor`
- If writing custom wgpu renderer features that work with `Image`, call
`&image_sampler.as_wgpu()` to convert to a wgpu descriptor.
# Objective
- the style of import used by bevy guarantees merge conflicts when any
file change
- This is especially true when import lists are large, such as in
`bevy_pbr`
- Merge conflicts are tricky to resolve. This bogs down rendering PRs
and makes contributing to bevy's rendering system more difficult than it
needs to
## Solution
- Use wildcard imports to replace multiline import list in `bevy_pbr`
I suspect this is controversial, but I'd like to hear alternatives.
Because this is one of many papercuts that makes developing render
features near impossible.
# Objective
- Fixes#10250
