# 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`.
- `MeshTransforms`' `transform` and `previous_transform` were renamed to
`world_from_local` and `previous_world_from_local`.
- `MeshUniform`'s `transform`, `previous_transform`,
`inverse_transpose_model_a` and `inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed
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`.
As a prerequisite for decals and clustering of light probes, we want
clustering to operate on objects other than lights. (Currently, it only
operates on point and spot lights.) This necessitates a large
refactoring, so I'm splitting it up into small steps.
The first such step is to separate clustering from lighting by moving
clustering-related types and functions out of lighting and into their
own module subtree within the `bevy_pbr` crate. (Ultimately, we may want
to move it to `bevy_render`, but that requires more work and can be a
followup.)
No code changes have been made other than adjusting import lists and
moving code. This is to make this code easy to review. Ultimately, I
want to rename "light" to "clusterable object" in most cases, but doing
that at the same time as moving the code would make reviewing harder. So
instead I'm moving the code first and will follow this up with renaming.
## Migration Guide
* Clustering-related types and functions (e.g.
`assign_lights_to_clusters`) have moved under `bevy_pbr::cluster`, in
preparation for the ability to cluster objects other than lights.
# Objective
- Using multiple raster passes to generate the depth pyramid is
extremely slow
- Pulling data from the source image is the largest bottleneck, it's
important to sample in a cache-aware pattern
- Barriers and pipeline drain between the raster passes is the second
largest bottleneck
- Each separate RenderPass on the CPU is _really_ expensive
## Solution
- Port [FidelityFX SPD](https://gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-spd) to WGSL,
replacing meshlet's existing multiple raster passes with a ~~single~~
two compute dispatches. Lack of coherent buffers means we have to do the
the last 64x64 tile from mip 7+ in a separate dispatch to ensure the mip
6 writes were flushed :(
- Workgroup shared memory version only at the moment, as the subgroup
operation is blocked by our upgrade to wgpu 0.20 #13186
- Don't enforce a power-of-2 depth pyramid texture size, simply scaling
by 0.5 is fine
# Objective
- Add motion vector support to the skybox
- This fixes the last remaining "gap" to complete the motion blur
feature
## Solution
- Add a pipeline for the skybox to write motion vectors to the prepass
## Testing
- Used examples to test motion vectors using motion blur

# Objective
- The current version of the `meshopt` dependency is incorrect, as
`bevy_pbr` uses features introduced in `meshopt` `0.2.1`
- This causes errors like this when only `meshopt` `0.2` is present in
`Cargo.lock`:
```
error[E0432]: unresolved imports

## Solution
- Specify the actual minimum version of `meshopt` that `bevy_pbr`
requires
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.
Fixes#13118

# Objective
- Fixes#13521
## Solution
Set `ambient_intensity` to 0.0 in volumetric_fog example.
I chose setting it explicitly over changing the default in order to make
it clear that this needs to be set depending on whether you have an
`EnvironmentMapLight`. See documentation for `ambient_intensity` and
related members.
## Testing
- Run the volumetric_fog example and notice how the light shown in
#13521 is not there anymore, as expected.

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.
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.
Commit 3f5a090b1b added a reference to
`STANDARD_MATERIAL_FLAGS_BASE_COLOR_UV_BIT`, a nonexistent identifier,
in the alpha discard portion of the prepass shader. Moreover, the logic
didn't make sense to me. I think the code was trying to choose between
the two UV sets depending on which is present, so I made it do that.
I noticed this when trying Bistro with #13277. I'm not sure why this
issue didn't manifest itself before, but it's clearly a bug, so here's a
fix. We should probably merge this before 0.14.
# Objective
- The volumetric fog PR originally needed to be modified to use
`.view_layouts` but that was changed in another PR. The merge with main
still kept those around.
## Solution
- Remove them because they aren't necessary
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
Remove the limit of `RenderLayer` by using a growable mask using
`SmallVec`.
Changes adopted from @UkoeHB's initial PR here
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12502 that contained additional
changes related to propagating render layers.
Changes
## Solution
The main thing needed to unblock this is removing `RenderLayers` from
our shader code. This primarily affects `DirectionalLight`. We are now
computing a `skip` field on the CPU that is then used to skip the light
in the shader.
## Testing
Checked a variety of examples and did a quick benchmark on `many_cubes`.
There were some existing problems identified during the development of
the original pr (see:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1220477928605749340/1221190112939872347).
This PR shouldn't change any existing behavior besides removing the
layer limit (sans the comment in migration about `all` layers no longer
being possible).
---
## Changelog
Removed the limit on `RenderLayers` by using a growable bitset that only
allocates when layers greater than 64 are used.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderLayers::all()` no longer exists. Entities expecting to be
visible on all layers, e.g. lights, should compute the active layers
that are in use.

# Objective
To streamline the code which utilizes `Debug` in user's struct like

## Solution
Add `Debug` derive for `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings` struct.
## Testing
Should have no impact.
# 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.

- Managing mesh view layouts is complicated
## Solution
- Extract it to it's own struct
- This was done as part of #13057 and is copied almost verbatim. I

ever have to revert fog or run a bisect. This change is good whether or

Switched the return type from `Vec3` to `Dir3` for directional axis
methods within the `GlobalTransform` component.
## Migration Guide
The `GlobalTransform` component's directional axis methods (e.g.,
`right()`, `left()`, `up()`, `down()`, `back()`, `forward()`) have been
updated from returning `Vec3` to `Dir3`.
Clearcoat is a separate material layer that represents a thin
translucent layer of a material. Examples include (from the [Filament
spec]) car paint, soda cans, and lacquered wood. This commit implements
support for clearcoat following the Filament and Khronos specifications,
marking the beginnings of support for multiple PBR layers in Bevy.
The [`KHR_materials_clearcoat`] specification describes the clearcoat
support in glTF. In Blender, applying a clearcoat to the Principled BSDF
node causes the clearcoat settings to be exported via this extension. As
of this commit, Bevy parses and reads the extension data when present in
glTF. Note that the `gltf` crate has no support for
`KHR_materials_clearcoat`; this patch therefore implements the JSON
semantics manually.
Clearcoat is integrated with `StandardMaterial`, but the code is behind
a series of `#ifdef`s that only activate when clearcoat is present.
Additionally, the `pbr_feature_layer_material_textures` Cargo feature
must be active in order to enable support for clearcoat factor maps,
clearcoat roughness maps, and clearcoat normal maps. This approach
mirrors the same pattern used by the existing transmission feature and
exists to avoid running out of texture bindings on platforms like WebGL
and WebGPU. Note that constant clearcoat factors and roughness values
*are* supported in the browser; only the relatively-less-common maps are
disabled on those platforms.
This patch refactors the lighting code in `StandardMaterial`
significantly in order to better support multiple layers in a natural
way. That code was due for a refactor in any case, so this is a nice
improvement.
A new demo, `clearcoat`, has been added. It's based on [the
corresponding three.js demo], but all the assets (aside from the skybox
and environment map) are my original work.

## Changelog
### Added
* `StandardMaterial` now supports a clearcoat layer, which represents a
thin translucent layer over an underlying material.
* The glTF loader now supports the `KHR_materials_clearcoat` extension,
representing materials with clearcoat layers.
## Migration Guide
* The lighting functions in the `pbr_lighting` WGSL module now have
clearcoat parameters, if `STANDARD_MATERIAL_CLEARCOAT` is defined.
* The `R` reflection vector parameter has been removed from some
lighting functions, as it was unused.
# Objective
- Per-cluster (instance of a meshlet) data upload is ridiculously
expensive in both CPU and GPU time (8 bytes per cluster, millions of
clusters, you very quickly run into PCIE bandwidth maximums, and lots of
CPU-side copies and malloc).
- We need to be uploading only per-instance/entity data. Anything else
needs to be done on the GPU.
## Solution
- Per instance, upload:
- `meshlet_instance_meshlet_counts_prefix_sum` - An exclusive prefix sum
over the count of how many clusters each instance has.
- `meshlet_instance_meshlet_slice_starts` - The starting index of the
meshlets for each instance within the `meshlets` buffer.
- A new `fill_cluster_buffers` pass once at the start of the frame has a
thread per cluster, and finds its instance ID and meshlet ID via a
binary search of `meshlet_instance_meshlet_counts_prefix_sum` to find
what instance it belongs to, and then uses that plus
`meshlet_instance_meshlet_slice_starts` to find what number meshlet
within the instance it is. The shader then writes out the per-cluster
instance/meshlet ID buffers for later passes to quickly read from.
- I've gone from 45 -> 180 FPS in my stress test scene, and saved
~30ms/frame of overall CPU/GPU time.
# 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

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`.
This is an adoption of #12670 plus some documentation fixes. See that PR
for more details.

## Changelog

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"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/59022059/78ebf91d-b0c4-4b18-9874-365d6310640f">
- 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
* Many new filmic color grading options have been added to the
`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`.

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
- There is an unfortunate lack of dragons in the meshlet docs.
- Dragons are symbolic of majesty, power, storms, and meshlets.
- A dragon habitat such as our docs requires cultivation to ensure each
winged lizard reaches their fullest, fiery selves.
## Solution
- Fix the link to the dragon image.
- The link originally targeted the `meshlet` branch, but that was later
deleted after it was merged into `main`.
---
## Changelog
- Added a dragon back into the `MeshletPlugin` documentation.
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.

### Added
* The `AlphaMode` enum now supports `AlphaToCoverage`, to provide
limited order-independent transparency when multisample antialiasing is
in use.
# Objective
- `cargo run --release --example bevymark -- --benchmark --waves 160
--per-wave 1000 --mode mesh2d` runs slower and slower over time due to
`no_gpu_preprocessing::write_batched_instance_buffer<bevy_sprite::mesh2d::mesh::Mesh2dPipeline>`
taking longer and longer because the `BatchedInstanceBuffer` is not
cleared
## Solution
- Split the `clear_batched_instance_buffers` system into CPU and GPU
versions
- Use the CPU version for 2D meshes
`Sprite`, `Text`, and `Handle<MeshletMesh>` were types of renderable
entities that the new segregated visible entity system didn't handle, so
they didn't appear.
Because `bevy_text` depends on `bevy_sprite`, and the visibility
computation of text happens in the latter crate, I had to introduce a
new marker component, `SpriteSource`. `SpriteSource` marks entities that
aren't themselves sprites but become sprites during rendering. I added
this component to `Text2dBundle`. Unfortunately, this is technically a
breaking change, although I suspect it won't break anybody in practice
except perhaps editors.
Fixes#12935.
## Changelog
### Changed
* `Text2dBundle` now includes a new marker component, `SpriteSource`.
Bevy uses this internally to optimize visibility calculation.
## Migration Guide
* `Text` now requires a `SpriteSource` marker component in order to
appear. This component has been added to `Text2dBundle`.
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.
## Analysis
`many_foxes`, 10,000 foxes: `main`:
`many_foxes`, 10,000 foxes, this branch:
`queue_material_meshes` (yellow = this branch, red = `main`):
`queue_shadows` (yellow = this branch, red = `main`):
I ported the two existing PCF techniques to the cubemap domain as best I
could. Generally, the technique is to create a 2D orthonormal basis
using Gram-Schmidt normalization, then apply the technique over that
basis. The results look fine, though the shadow bias often needs
adjusting.
For comparison, Unity uses a 4-tap pattern for PCF on point lights of
(1, 1, 1), (-1, -1, 1), (-1, 1, -1), (1, -1, -1). I tried this but
didn't like the look, so I went with the design above, which ports the
2D techniques to the 3D domain. There's surprisingly little material on
point light PCF.
I've gone through every example using point lights and verified that the
shadow maps look fine, adjusting biases as necessary.
Fixes#3628.

## Changelog
### Added
* Shadows from point lights now support percentage-closer filtering
(PCF), and as a result look less aliased.
### Changed
* `ShadowFilteringMethod::Castano13` and
`ShadowFilteringMethod::Jimenez14` have been renamed to
`ShadowFilteringMethod::Gaussian` and `ShadowFilteringMethod::Temporal`
respectively.

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`:
It's notable that we get a small win even though we're now writing to a
GPU buffer.
`queue_material_meshes`:
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`:
There's a huge win here, enough to make batching basically drop off the
profile.
`write_batched_instance_buffer`:
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
Minimize the number of dependencies low in the tree.
## Solution
* Remove the dependency on rustc-hash in bevy_ecs (not used) and
bevy_macro_utils (only used in one spot).
* Deduplicate the dependency on `sha1_smol` with the existing blake3
dependency already being used for bevy_asset.
* Remove the unused `ron` dependency on `bevy_app`
* Make the `serde` dependency for `bevy_ecs` optional. It's only used
for serializing Entity.
* Change the `wgpu` dependency to `wgpu-types`, and make it optional for
`bevy_color`.
* Remove the unused `thread-local` dependency on `bevy_render`.
* Make multiple dependencies for `bevy_tasks` optional and enabled only
when running with the `multi-threaded` feature. Preferably they'd be
disabled all the time on wasm, but I couldn't find a clean way to do
this.

# 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

## Solution
- Shift bits a bit more
# Objective
Since BufferVec was first introduced, `bytemuck` has added additional
traits with fewer restrictions than `Pod`. Within BufferVec, we only
rely on the constraints of `bytemuck::cast_slice` to a `u8` slice, which
now only requires `T: NoUninit` which is a strict superset of `Pod`
types.
## Solution
Change out the `Pod` generic type constraint with `NoUninit`. Also
taking the opportunity to substitute `cast_slice` with
`must_cast_slice`, which avoids a runtime panic in place of a compile
time failure if `T` cannot be used.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `BufferVec` now supports working with types containing
`NoUninit` but not `Pod` members.
Changed: `BufferVec` will now fail to compile if used with a type that
cannot be safely read from. Most notably, this includes ZSTs, which
would previously always panic at runtime.
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`:
## 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.

This commit changes the `StandardMaterialKey` to be based on a set of
bitflags instead of a structure. We hash it every frame for every mesh,
and `#[derive(Hash)]` doesn't generate particularly efficient code for
large structures full of small types. Packing it into a single `u64`
therefore results in a roughly 10% speedup in `queue_material_meshes` on
`many_cubes --no-frustum-culling`.
# Objective
Fixes#12727. All parts that `PersistentGpuBuffer` interact with should
be 100% safe both on the CPU and the GPU: `Queue::write_buffer_with`
zeroes out the slice being written to and when uploading to the GPU, and
all slice writes are bounds checked on the CPU side.
## Solution
Make `PersistentGpuBufferable` a safe trait. Enforce it's correct
implementation via assertions. Re-enable `forbid(unsafe_code)` on
`bevy_pbr`.
# Objective
- Fixes#12712
## Solution
- Move the `float_ord.rs` file to `bevy_math`
- Change any `bevy_utils::FloatOrd` statements to `bevy_math::FloatOrd`
---
## Changelog
- Moved `FloatOrd` from `bevy_utils` to `bevy_math`
## Migration Guide
- References to `bevy_utils::FloatOrd` should be changed to
`bevy_math::FloatOrd`
# Objective
Resolves#3824. `unsafe` code should be the exception, not the norm in
Rust. It's obviously needed for various use cases as it's interfacing
with platforms and essentially running the borrow checker at runtime in
the ECS, but the touted benefits of Bevy is that we are able to heavily
leverage Rust's safety, and we should be holding ourselves accountable
to that by minimizing our unsafe footprint.
## Solution
Deny `unsafe_code` workspace wide. Add explicit exceptions for the
following crates, and forbid it in almost all of the others.
* bevy_ecs - Obvious given how much unsafe is needed to achieve
performant results
* bevy_ptr - Works with raw pointers, even more low level than bevy_ecs.
* bevy_render - due to needing to integrate with wgpu
* bevy_window - due to needing to integrate with raw_window_handle
* bevy_utils - Several unsafe utilities used by bevy_ecs. Ideally moved
into bevy_ecs instead of made publicly usable.
* bevy_reflect - Required for the unsafe type casting it's doing.
* bevy_transform - for the parallel transform propagation
* bevy_gizmos - For the SystemParam impls it has.
* bevy_assets - To support reflection. Might not be required, not 100%
sure yet.
* bevy_mikktspace - due to being a conversion from a C library. Pending
safe rewrite.
* bevy_dynamic_plugin - Inherently unsafe due to the dynamic loading
nature.
Several uses of unsafe were rewritten, as they did not need to be using
them:
* bevy_text - a case of `Option::unchecked` could be rewritten as a
normal for loop and match instead of an iterator.
* bevy_color - the Pod/Zeroable implementations were replaceable with
bytemuck's derive macros.
# Objective
Currently the built docs only shows the logo and favicon for the top
level `bevy` crate. This makes views like
https://docs.rs/bevy_ecs/latest/bevy_ecs/ look potentially unrelated to
the project at first glance.
## Solution
Reproduce the docs attributes for every crate that Bevy publishes.
Ideally this would be done with some workspace level Cargo.toml control,
but AFAICT, such support does not exist.
# Objective
Follow up from PR #12369 to extract lighting structs from light/mod.rs
into their own file.
Part of the Purdue Refactoring Team's goals issue #12349
## Solution
- Moved PointLight from light/mod.rs to light/point_light.rs
- Moved SpotLight from light/mod.rs to light/spot_light.rs
- Moved DirectionalLight from light/mod.rs to light/directional_light.rs
Fixes#12600
## Solution
Removed Into<AssetId<T>> for Handle<T> as proposed in Issue
conversation, fixed dependent code
## Migration guide
If you use passing Handle by value as AssetId, you should pass reference
or call .id() method on it
Before (0.13):
`assets.insert(handle, value);`
After (0.14):
`assets.insert(&handle, value);`
or
`assets.insert(handle.id(), value);`
# Objective
- Not all materials need shadow, but a queue_shadows system is always
added to the `Render` schedule and executed
## Solution
- Make a setting for shadows, it defaults to true
## Changelog
- Added `shadows_enabled` setting to `MaterialPlugin`
## Migration Guide
- `MaterialPlugin` now has a `shadows_enabled` setting, if you didn't
spawn the plugin using `::default()` or `..default()`, you'll need to
set it. `shadows_enabled: true` is the same behavior as the previous
version, and also the default value.
# Objective
It's useful to have access to render pipeline statistics, since they
provide more information than FPS alone. For example, the number of
drawn triangles can be used to debug culling and LODs. The number of
fragment shader invocations can provide a more stable alternative metric
than GPU elapsed time.
See also: Render node GPU timing overlay #8067, which doesn't provide
pipeline statistics, but adds a nice overlay.
## Solution
Add `RenderDiagnosticsPlugin`, which enables collecting pipeline
statistics and CPU & GPU timings.
---
## Changelog
- Add `RenderDiagnosticsPlugin`
- Add `RenderContext::diagnostic_recorder` method

# Objective
Improve code quality involving fixedbitset.
## Solution
Update to fixedbitset 0.5. Use the new `grow_and_insert` function
instead of `grow` and `insert` functions separately.
This should also speed up most of the set operations involving
fixedbitset. They should be ~2x faster, but testing this against the
stress tests seems to show little to no difference. The multithreaded
executor doesn't seem to be all that much faster in many_cubes and
many_foxes. These use cases are likely dominated by other operations or
the bitsets aren't big enough to make them the bottleneck.
This introduces a duplicate dependency due to petgraph and wgpu, but the
former may take some time to update.
## Changelog
Removed: `Access::grow`
## Migration Guide
`Access::grow` has been removed. It's no longer needed. Remove all
references to it.
# Objective
assets that don't load before they get removed are retried forever,
causing buffer churn and slowdown.
## Solution
stop trying to prepare dead assets.
# Objective
Beginning of refactoring of light.rs in bevy_pbr, as per issue #12349
Create and move light.rs to its own directory, and extract AmbientLight
struct.
## Solution
- moved light.rs to light/mod.rs
- extracted AmbientLight struct to light/ambient_light.rs
# Objective
fix occasional crash from commands.insert when quickly spawning and
despawning skinned/morphed meshes
## Solution
use `try_insert` instead of `insert`. if the entity is deleted we don't
mind failing to add the `NoAutomaticBatching` marker.
# Objective
Fix missing `TextBundle` (and many others) which are present in the main
crate as default features but optional in the sub-crate. See:
- https://docs.rs/bevy/0.13.0/bevy/ui/node_bundles/index.html
- https://docs.rs/bevy_ui/0.13.0/bevy_ui/node_bundles/index.html
~~There are probably other instances in other crates that I could track
down, but maybe "all-features = true" should be used by default in all
sub-crates? Not sure.~~ (There were many.) I only noticed this because
rust-analyzer's "open docs" features takes me to the sub-crate, not the
main one.
## Solution
Add "all-features = true" to docs.rs metadata for crates that use
features.
## Changelog
### Changed
- Unified features documented on docs.rs between main crate and
sub-crates
# Objective
Make bevy_utils less of a compilation bottleneck. Tackle #11478.
## Solution
* Move all of the directly reexported dependencies and move them to
where they're actually used.
* Remove the UUID utilities that have gone unused since `TypePath` took
over for `TypeUuid`.
* There was also a extraneous bytemuck dependency on `bevy_core` that
has not been used for a long time (since `encase` became the primary way
to prepare GPU buffers).
* Remove the `all_tuples` macro reexport from bevy_ecs since it's
accessible from `bevy_utils`.
---
## Changelog
Removed: Many of the reexports from bevy_utils (petgraph, uuid, nonmax,
smallvec, and thiserror).
Removed: bevy_core's reexports of bytemuck.
## Migration Guide
bevy_utils' reexports of petgraph, uuid, nonmax, smallvec, and thiserror
have been removed.
bevy_core' reexports of bytemuck's types has been removed.
Add them as dependencies in your own crate instead.
# Objective
- Fix slightly wrong logic from #11442
- Directional lights should not have a near clip plane
## Solution
- Push near clip out to infinity, so that the frustum normal is still
available if its needed for whatever reason in shader
- also opportunistically nabs a typo
# Objective
Fix#12304. Remove unnecessary type registrations thanks to #4154.
## Solution
Conservatively remove type registrations. Keeping the top level
components, resources, and events, but dropping everything else that is
a type of a member of those types.
# Objective
- Describe the objective or issue this PR addresses.
Improve docs around emissive colors --
I couldn't figure out how to increase the emissive strength of
materials, asking on discord @alice-i-cecile told me that color channel
values can go above `1.0` in the case of the `emissive` field. I would
have never figured this out on my own, because [the docs for
emissive](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.StandardMaterial.html#structfield.emissive)
don't mention this possibility, and indeed if you follow the link in the
`emissive` doc [to the `Color`
type](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/render/color/enum.Color.html#variants),
you are told that values should be in `[0.0, 1.0]`.
## Solution
- Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.
Just added a note on the possibility of large color channel values with
example.
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.
See the Tracy profile:

## 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
- As part of the migration process we need to a) see the end effect of
the migration on user ergonomics b) check for serious perf regressions
c) actually migrate the code
- To accomplish this, I'm going to attempt to migrate all of the
remaining user-facing usages of `LegacyColor` in one PR, being careful
to keep a clean commit history.
- Fixes#12056.
## Solution
I've chosen to use the polymorphic `Color` type as our standard
user-facing API.
- [x] Migrate `bevy_gizmos`.
- [x] Take `impl Into<Color>` in all `bevy_gizmos` APIs
- [x] Migrate sprites
- [x] Migrate UI
- [x] Migrate `ColorMaterial`
- [x] Migrate `MaterialMesh2D`
- [x] Migrate fog
- [x] Migrate lights
- [x] Migrate StandardMaterial
- [x] Migrate wireframes
- [x] Migrate clear color
- [x] Migrate text
- [x] Migrate gltf loader
- [x] Register color types for reflection
- [x] Remove `LegacyColor`
- [x] Make sure CI passes
Incidental improvements to ease migration:
- added `Color::srgba_u8`, `Color::srgba_from_array` and friends
- added `set_alpha`, `is_fully_transparent` and `is_fully_opaque` to the
`Alpha` trait
- add and immediately deprecate (lol) `Color::rgb` and friends in favor
of more explicit and consistent `Color::srgb`
- standardized on white and black for most example text colors
- added vector field traits to `LinearRgba`: ~~`Add`, `Sub`,
`AddAssign`, `SubAssign`,~~ `Mul<f32>` and `Div<f32>`. Multiplications
and divisions do not scale alpha. `Add` and `Sub` have been cut from
this PR.
- added `LinearRgba` and `Srgba` `RED/GREEN/BLUE`
- added `LinearRgba_to_f32_array` and `LinearRgba::to_u32`
## Migration Guide
Bevy's color types have changed! Wherever you used a
`bevy::render::Color`, a `bevy::color::Color` is used instead.
These are quite similar! Both are enums storing a color in a specific
color space (or to be more precise, using a specific color model).
However, each of the different color models now has its own type.
TODO...
- `Color::rgba`, `Color::rgb`, `Color::rbga_u8`, `Color::rgb_u8`,
`Color::rgb_from_array` are now `Color::srgba`, `Color::srgb`,
`Color::srgba_u8`, `Color::srgb_u8` and `Color::srgb_from_array`.
- `Color::set_a` and `Color::a` is now `Color::set_alpha` and
`Color::alpha`. These are part of the `Alpha` trait in `bevy_color`.
- `Color::is_fully_transparent` is now part of the `Alpha` trait in
`bevy_color`
- `Color::r`, `Color::set_r`, `Color::with_r` and the equivalents for
`g`, `b` `h`, `s` and `l` have been removed due to causing silent
relatively expensive conversions. Convert your `Color` into the desired
color space, perform your operations there, and then convert it back
into a polymorphic `Color` enum.
- `Color::hex` is now `Srgba::hex`. Call `.into` or construct a
`Color::Srgba` variant manually to convert it.
- `WireframeMaterial`, `ExtractedUiNode`, `ExtractedDirectionalLight`,
`ExtractedPointLight`, `ExtractedSpotLight` and `ExtractedSprite` now
store a `LinearRgba`, rather than a polymorphic `Color`
- `Color::rgb_linear` and `Color::rgba_linear` are now
`Color::linear_rgb` and `Color::linear_rgba`
- The various CSS color constants are no longer stored directly on
`Color`. Instead, they're defined in the `Srgba` color space, and
accessed via `bevy::color::palettes::css`. Call `.into()` on them to
convert them into a `Color` for quick debugging use, and consider using
the much prettier `tailwind` palette for prototyping.
- The `LIME_GREEN` color has been renamed to `LIMEGREEN` to comply with
the standard naming.
- Vector field arithmetic operations on `Color` (add, subtract, multiply
and divide by a f32) have been removed. Instead, convert your colors
into `LinearRgba` space, and perform your operations explicitly there.
This is particularly relevant when working with emissive or HDR colors,
whose color channel values are routinely outside of the ordinary 0 to 1
range.
- `Color::as_linear_rgba_f32` has been removed. Call
`LinearRgba::to_f32_array` instead, converting if needed.
- `Color::as_linear_rgba_u32` has been removed. Call
`LinearRgba::to_u32` instead, converting if needed.
- Several other color conversion methods to transform LCH or HSL colors
into float arrays or `Vec` types have been removed. Please reimplement
these externally or open a PR to re-add them if you found them
particularly useful.
- Various methods on `Color` such as `rgb` or `hsl` to convert the color
into a specific color space have been removed. Convert into
`LinearRgba`, then to the color space of your choice.
- Various implicitly-converting color value methods on `Color` such as
`r`, `g`, `b` or `h` have been removed. Please convert it into the color
space of your choice, then check these properties.
- `Color` no longer implements `AsBindGroup`. Store a `LinearRgba`
internally instead to avoid conversion costs.

# Objective
- Partially addresses https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11470
(I'd like to add Spatiotemporal Blue Noise in the future, but that's a
bit more controversial).
- Fix cluster_debug_visualization which has not compiled for a while
---
## Changelog
- Added random white noise shader functions to `bevy_pbr::utils`
## Migration Guide
- The `bevy_pbr::utils::random1D` shader function has been replaced by
the similar `bevy_pbr::utils::rand_f`.
# 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
- Fixes#12081
## Solution
Passing the `Affine2` as a neatly packed `mat3x2` breaks WebGL with
`drawElementsInstanced: Buffer for uniform block is smaller than
UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE.`
I fixed this by using a `mat3x3` instead.
Alternative solutions that come to mind:
- Pass in a `mat3x2` on non-webgl targets and a `mat3x3` otherwise. I
guess I could use `#ifdef SIXTEEN_BYTE_ALIGNMENT` for this, but it
doesn't seem quite right? This would be more efficient, but decrease
code quality.
- Do something about `UNIFORM_BLOCK_DATA_SIZE`. I don't know how, so I'd
need some guidance here.
@superdump let me know if you'd like me to implement other variants.
Otherwise, I vote for merging this as a quick fix for `main` and then
improving the packing in subsequent PRs :)
## Additional notes
Ideally we should merge this before @JMS55 rebases #10164 so that they
don't have to rebase everything a second time.
# Objective
#7348 added `bevy_utils::Parallel` and replaced the usage of the
`ThreadLocal<Cell<Vec<...>>>` in `check_visibility`, but we were also
using it in `extract_meshes`.
## Solution
Refactor the system to use `Parallel` instead.
# Objective
The physical width and height (pixels) of an image is always integers,
but for `GpuImage` bevy currently stores them as `Vec2` (`f32`).
Switching to `UVec2` makes this more consistent with the [underlying
texture data](https://docs.rs/wgpu/latest/wgpu/struct.Extent3d.html).
I'm not sure if this is worth the change in the surface level API. If
not, feel free to close this PR.
## Solution
- Replace uses of `Vec2` with `UVec2` when referring to texture
dimensions.
- Use integer types for the texture atlas dimensions and sections.
[`Sprite::rect`](a81a2d1da3/crates/bevy_sprite/src/sprite.rs (L29))
remains unchanged, so manually specifying a sub-pixel region of an image
is still possible.
---
## Changelog
- `GpuImage` now stores its size as `UVec2` instead of `Vec2`.
- Texture atlases store their size and sections as `UVec2` and `URect`
respectively.
- `UiImageSize` stores its size as `UVec2`.
## Migration Guide
- Change floating point types (`Vec2`, `Rect`) to their respective
unsigned integer versions (`UVec2`, `URect`) when using `GpuImage`,
`TextureAtlasLayout`, `TextureAtlasBuilder`,
`DynamicAtlasTextureBuilder` or `FontAtlas`.
# Objective
- Add the new `-Zcheck-cfg` checks to catch more warnings

## 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)

# Objective
The migration process for `bevy_color` (#12013) will be fairly involved:
there will be hundreds of affected files, and a large number of APIs.
## Solution
To allow us to proceed granularly, we're going to keep both
`bevy_color::Color` (new) and `bevy_render::Color` (old) around until
the migration is complete.
However, simply doing this directly is confusing! They're both called
`Color`, making it very hard to tell when a portion of the code has been
ported.
As discussed in #12056, by renaming the old `Color` type, we can make it
easier to gradually migrate over, one API at a time.
## Migration Guide
THIS MIGRATION GUIDE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.
This change should not be shipped to end users: delete this section in
the final migration guide!

# Objective
Fix rendering on iOS Simulators.
iOS Simulator doesn't support the capability CUBE_ARRAY_TEXTURES, since
0.13 this started to make iOS Simulator not render anything with the
following message being outputted:
```
2024-02-19T14:59:34.896266Z ERROR bevy_render::render_resource::pipeline_cache: failed to create shader module: Validation Error
Caused by:

```
## Solution
- Split up NO_ARRAY_TEXTURES_SUPPORT into both NO_ARRAY_TEXTURES_SUPPORT
and NO_CUBE_ARRAY_TEXTURES_SUPPORT and correctly apply
NO_ARRAY_TEXTURES_SUPPORT for iOS Simulator using the cfg flag
introduced in #10178.

- Closes#11985
## Solution
- alpha.rs has been moved from bevy_pbr into bevy_render; bevy_pbr and
bevy_gltf now access `AlphaMode` through bevy_render.
---
## Migration Guide
In the present implementation, external consumers of `AlphaMode` will
have to access it through bevy_render rather than through bevy_pbr,
changing their import from `bevy_pbr::AlphaMode` to
`bevy_render::alpha::AlphaMode` (or the corresponding glob import from
`bevy_pbr::prelude::*` to `bevy_render::prelude::*`).
## Uncertainties
Some remaining things from this that I am uncertain about:
- Here, the `app.register_type<AlphaMode>()` call has been moved from
`PbrPlugin` to `RenderPlugin`; I'm not sure if this is quite right, and
I was unable to find any direct relationship between `PbrPlugin` and
`RenderPlugin`.
- `AlphaMode` was placed in the prelude of bevy_render. I'm not certain
that this is actually appropriate.
- bevy_pbr does not re-export `AlphaMode`, which makes this a breaking
change for external consumers.
Any of these things could be easily changed; I'm just not confident that
I necessarily adopted the right approach in these (known) ways since
this codebase and ecosystem is quite new to me.
Adopted #8266, so copy-pasting the description from there:
# Objective
Support the KHR_texture_transform extension for the glTF loader.
- Fixes#6335
- Fixes#11869
- Implements part of #11350
- Implements the GLTF part of #399
## Solution
As is, this only supports a single transform. Looking at Godot's source,
they support one transform with an optional second one for detail, AO,
and emission. glTF specifies one per texture. The public domain
materials I looked at seem to share the same transform. So maybe having
just one is acceptable for now. I tried to include a warning if multiple
different transforms exist for the same material.
Note the gltf crate doesn't expose the texture transform for the normal
and occlusion textures, which it should, so I just ignored those for
now. (note by @janhohenheim: this is still the case)
Via `cargo run --release --example scene_viewer
~/src/clone/glTF-Sample-Models/2.0/TextureTransformTest/glTF/TextureTransformTest.gltf`:
## Changelog
Support for the
[KHR_texture_transform](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/tree/main/extensions/2.0/Khronos/KHR_texture_transform)

# Objective
- Save 16 bytes per MeshUniform in uniform/storage buffers.
## Solution
- Reorder members of MeshUniform to capitalise on alignment and size
rules for tighter data packing. Before the size of a MeshUniform was 160
bytes, and after it is 144 bytes, saving 16 bytes of unused padding for
alignment.
---
## Changelog
- Reduced the size of MeshUniform by 16 bytes.
# Objective
Fixes#11908
## Solution
- Remove the `naga_oil` dependency from `bevy_pbr`.
- We were doing a little dance to disable `glsl` support on not-wasm, so
incorporate that dance into `bevy_render`'s `Cargo.toml`.
They cause the number of texture bindings to overflow on those
platforms. Ultimately, we shouldn't unconditionally disable them, but
this fixes a crash blocking 0.13.
Closes#11885.
I did this during the prepass, but I neglected to do it during the
shadow map pass, causing a panic when directional lights with shadows
were enabled with lightmapped meshes present. This patch fixes the
issue.
Closes#11898.
# Objective
#10644 introduced nice "statically typed" labels that replace the old
strings. I would like to propose some changes to the names introduced:
* `SubGraph2d` -> `Core2d` and `SubGraph3d` -> `Core3d`. The names of
these graphs have been / should continue to be the "core 2d" graph not
the "sub graph 2d" graph. The crate is called `bevy_core_pipeline`, the
modules are still `core_2d` and `core_3d`, etc.
* `Labels2d` and `Labels3d`, at the very least, should not be plural to
follow naming conventions. A Label enum is not a "collection of labels",
it is a _specific_ Label. However I think `Label2d` and `Label3d` is
significantly less clear than `Node2d` and `Node3d`, so I propose those
changes here. I've done the same for `LabelsPbr` -> `NodePbr` and
`LabelsUi` -> `NodeUi`
Additionally, #10644 accidentally made one of the Camera2dBundle
constructors use the 3D graph instead of the 2D graph. I've fixed that
here.
---
## Changelog
* Renamed `SubGraph2d` -> `Core2d`, `SubGraph3d` -> `Core3d`, `Labels2d`
-> `Node2d`, `Labels3d` -> `Node3d`, `LabelsUi` -> `NodeUi`, `LabelsPbr`
-> `NodePbr`
# Objective
Provide a public replacement for `Into<MeshUniform>` trait impl which
was removed by #10231.
I made use of this in the `bevy_mod_outline` crate and will have to
duplicate this function if it's not accessible.
## Solution
Change the MeshUniform::new() method to be public.
# Objective
After adding configurable exposure, we set the default ev100 value to
`7` (indoor). This brought us out of sync with Blender's configuration
and defaults. This PR changes the default to `9.7` (bright indoor or
very overcast outdoors), as I calibrated in #11577. This feels like a
very reasonable default.
The other changes generally center around tweaking Bevy's lighting
defaults and examples to play nicely with this number, alongside a few
other tweaks and improvements.
Note that for artistic reasons I have reverted some examples, which
changed to directional lights in #11581, back to point lights.
Fixes#11577
---
## Changelog
- Changed `Exposure::ev100` from `7` to `9.7` to better match Blender
- Renamed `ExposureSettings` to `Exposure`
- `Camera3dBundle` now includes `Exposure` for discoverability
- Bumped `FULL_DAYLIGHT ` and `DIRECT_SUNLIGHT` to represent the
middle-to-top of those ranges instead of near the bottom
- Added new `AMBIENT_DAYLIGHT` constant and set that as the new
`DirectionalLight` default illuminance.
- `PointLight` and `SpotLight` now have a default `intensity` of
1,000,000 lumens. This makes them actually useful in the context of the
new "semi-outdoor" exposure and puts them in the "cinema lighting"
category instead of the "common household light" category. They are also
reasonably close to the Blender default.
- `AmbientLight` default has been bumped from `20` to `80`.
## Migration Guide
- The increased `Exposure::ev100` means that all existing 3D lighting
will need to be adjusted to match (DirectionalLights, PointLights,
SpotLights, EnvironmentMapLights, etc). Or alternatively, you can adjust
the `Exposure::ev100` on your cameras to work nicely with your current
lighting values. If you are currently relying on default intensity
values, you might need to change the intensity to achieve the same
effect. Note that in Bevy 0.12, point/spot lights had a different hard
coded ev100 value than directional lights. In Bevy 0.13, they use the
same ev100, so if you have both in your scene, the _scale_ between these
light types has changed and you will likely need to adjust one or both
of them.
# Objective
Fix https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11577.
## Solution
Fix the examples, add a few constants to make setting light values
easier, and change the default lighting settings to be more realistic.
(Now designed for an overcast day instead of an indoor environment)
---
I did not include any example-related changes in here.
## Changelogs (not including breaking changes)
### bevy_pbr
- Added `light_consts` module (included in prelude), which contains
common lux and lumen values for lights.
- Added `AmbientLight::NONE` constant, which is an ambient light with a
brightness of 0.
- Added non-EV100 variants for `ExposureSettings`'s EV100 constants,
which allow easier construction of an `ExposureSettings` from a EV100
constant.
## Breaking changes
### bevy_pbr
The several default lighting values were changed:
- `PointLight`'s default `intensity` is now `2000.0`
- `SpotLight`'s default `intensity` is now `2000.0`
- `DirectionalLight`'s default `illuminance` is now
`light_consts::lux::OVERCAST_DAY` (`1000.`)
- `AmbientLight`'s default `brightness` is now `20.0`
# Objective
`RenderMeshInstance::material_bind_group_id` is only set from
`queue_material_meshes::<M>`. this field is used (only) for determining
batch groups, so some items may be batched incorrectly if they have
never been in the camera's view or if they don't use the Material
abstraction.
in particular, shadow views render more meshes than the main camera, and
currently batch some meshes where the object has never entered the
camera view together. this is quite hard to trigger, but should occur in
a scene with out-of-view alpha-mask materials (so that the material
instance actually affects the shadow) in the path of a light.
this is also a footgun for custom pipelines: failing to set the
material_bind_group_id will result in all meshes being batched together
and all using the closest/furthest material to the camera (depending on
sort order).
## Solution
- queue_shadows now sets the material_bind_group_id correctly
- `MeshPipeline` doesn't attempt to batch meshes if the
material_bind_group_id has not been set. custom pipelines still need to
set this field to take advantage of batching, but will at least render
correctly if it is not set
# Objective
- Fixes#11782.
## Solution
- Remove the run condition for `apply_global_wireframe_material`, since
it prevent detecting when meshes are added or the `NoWireframe` marker
component is removed from an entity. Alternatively this could be done by
using a run condition like "added `Handle<Mesh>` or removed
`NoWireframe` or `WireframeConfig` changed" but this seems less clear to
me than directly letting the queries on
`apply_global_wireframe_material` do the filtering.
# Objective
Reduce the size of `bevy_utils`
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11478)
## Solution
Move `EntityHash` related types into `bevy_ecs`. This also allows us
access to `Entity`, which means we no longer need `EntityHashMap`'s
first generic argument.
---
## Changelog
- Moved `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` into `bevy::ecs::entity::hash` .
- Removed `EntityHashMap`'s first generic argument. It is now hardcoded
to always be `Entity`.
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` now have to be imported from `bevy::ecs::entity::hash`.
- Uses of `EntityHashMap` no longer have to specify the first generic
parameter. It is now hardcoded to always be `Entity`.
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
- Encoding many GPU commands (such as in a renderpass with many draws,
such as the main opaque pass) onto a `wgpu::CommandEncoder` is very
expensive, and takes a long time.
- To improve performance, we want to perform the command encoding for
these heavy passes in parallel.
## Solution
- `RenderContext` can now queue up "command buffer generation tasks"
which are closures that will generate a command buffer when called.
- When finalizing the render context to produce the final list of
command buffers, these tasks are run in parallel on the
`ComputeTaskPool` to produce their corresponding command buffers.
- The general idea is that the node graph will run in serial, but in a
node, instead of doing rendering work, you can add tasks to do render
work in parallel with other node's tasks that get ran at the end of the
graph execution.
## Nodes Parallelized
- `MainOpaquePass3dNode`
- `PrepassNode`
- `DeferredGBufferPrepassNode`
- `ShadowPassNode` (One task per view)
## Future Work
- For large number of draws calls, might be worth further subdividing
passes into 2+ tasks.
- Extend this to UI, 2d, transparent, and transmissive nodes?
- Needs testing - small command buffers are inefficient - it may be
worth reverting to the serial command encoder usage for render phases
with few items.
- All "serial" (traditional) rendering work must finish before parallel
rendering tasks (the new stuff) can start to run.
- There is still only one submission to the graphics queue at the end of
the graph execution. There is still no ability to submit work earlier.
## Performance Improvement
Thanks to @Elabajaba for testing on Bistro.
TLDR: Without shadow mapping, this PR has no impact. _With_ shadow
mapping, this PR gives **~40 more fps** than main.
---
## Changelog
- `MainOpaquePass3dNode`, `PrepassNode`, `DeferredGBufferPrepassNode`,
and each shadow map within `ShadowPassNode` are now encoded in parallel,
giving _greatly_ increased CPU performance, mainly when shadow mapping
is enabled.
- Does not work on WASM or AMD+Windows+Vulkan.
- Added `RenderContext::add_command_buffer_generation_task()`.
- `RenderContext::new()` now takes adapter info
- Some render graph and Node related types and methods now have
additional lifetime constraints.

Don't try to create a uniform buffer for light probes if there are no
views.
Fixes the panic on examples that have no views, such as
`touch_input_events`.
# Objective
Bevy could benefit from *irradiance volumes*, also known as *voxel
global illumination* or simply as light probes (though this term is not
preferred, as multiple techniques can be called light probes).
Irradiance volumes are a form of baked global illumination; they work by
sampling the light at the centers of each voxel within a cuboid. At
runtime, the voxels surrounding the fragment center are sampled and
interpolated to produce indirect diffuse illumination.
## Solution
This is divided into two sections. The first is copied and pasted from
the irradiance volume module documentation and describes the technique.
The second part consists of notes on the implementation.
### Overview
An *irradiance volume* is a cuboid voxel region consisting of
regularly-spaced precomputed samples of diffuse indirect light. They're
ideal if you have a dynamic object such as a character that can move
about
static non-moving geometry such as a level in a game, and you want that
dynamic object to be affected by the light bouncing off that static
geometry.
To use irradiance volumes, you need to precompute, or *bake*, the
indirect
light in your scene. Bevy doesn't currently come with a way to do this.
Fortunately, [Blender] provides a [baking tool] as part of the Eevee
renderer, and its irradiance volumes are compatible with those used by
Bevy.
The [`bevy-baked-gi`] project provides a tool, `export-blender-gi`, that
can
extract the baked irradiance volumes from the Blender `.blend` file and
package them up into a `.ktx2` texture for use by the engine. See the
documentation in the `bevy-baked-gi` project for more details as to this
workflow.
Like all light probes in Bevy, irradiance volumes are 1×1×1 cubes that
can
be arbitrarily scaled, rotated, and positioned in a scene with the
[`bevy_transform::components::Transform`] component. The 3D voxel grid
will
be stretched to fill the interior of the cube, and the illumination from
the
irradiance volume will apply to all fragments within that bounding
region.
Bevy's irradiance volumes are based on Valve's [*ambient cubes*] as used
in
*Half-Life 2* ([Mitchell 2006], slide 27). These encode a single color
of
light from the six 3D cardinal directions and blend the sides together
according to the surface normal.
The primary reason for choosing ambient cubes is to match Blender, so
that
its Eevee renderer can be used for baking. However, they also have some
advantages over the common second-order spherical harmonics approach:
ambient cubes don't suffer from ringing artifacts, they are smaller (6
colors for ambient cubes as opposed to 9 for spherical harmonics), and
evaluation is faster. A smaller basis allows for a denser grid of voxels
with the same storage requirements.
If you wish to use a tool other than `export-blender-gi` to produce the
irradiance volumes, you'll need to pack the irradiance volumes in the
following format. The irradiance volume of resolution *(Rx, Ry, Rz)* is
expected to be a 3D texture of dimensions *(Rx, 2Ry, 3Rz)*. The
unnormalized
texture coordinate *(s, t, p)* of the voxel at coordinate *(x, y, z)*
with
side *S* ∈ *{-X, +X, -Y, +Y, -Z, +Z}* is as follows:
```text
s = x
t = y + ⎰ 0 if S ∈ {-X, -Y, -Z}
⎱ Ry if S ∈ {+X, +Y, +Z}
⎧ 0 if S ∈ {-X, +X}
p = z + ⎨ Rz if S ∈ {-Y, +Y}
⎩ 2Rz if S ∈ {-Z, +Z}
```
Visually, in a left-handed coordinate system with Y up, viewed from the
right, the 3D texture looks like a stacked series of voxel grids, one
for
each cube side, in this order:
| **+X** | **+Y** | **+Z** |
| ------ | ------ | ------ |
| **-X** | **-Y** | **-Z** |
A terminology note: Other engines may refer to irradiance volumes as
*voxel
global illumination*, *VXGI*, or simply as *light probes*. Sometimes
*light
probe* refers to what Bevy calls a reflection probe. In Bevy, *light
probe*
is a generic term that encompasses all cuboid bounding regions that
capture
indirect illumination, whether based on voxels or not.
Note that, if binding arrays aren't supported (e.g. on WebGPU or WebGL
2),
then only the closest irradiance volume to the view will be taken into
account during rendering.

### Implementation notes
This patch generalizes light probes so as to reuse as much code as
possible between irradiance volumes and the existing reflection probes.
This approach was chosen because both techniques share numerous
similarities:
1. Both irradiance volumes and reflection probes are cuboid bounding
regions.
2. Both are responsible for providing baked indirect light.
3. Both techniques involve presenting a variable number of textures to
the shader from which indirect light is sampled. (In the current
implementation, this uses binding arrays.)
4. Both irradiance volumes and reflection probes require gathering and
sorting probes by distance on CPU.
5. Both techniques require the GPU to search through a list of bounding
regions.
6. Both will eventually want to have falloff so that we can smoothly
blend as objects enter and exit the probes' influence ranges. (This is
not implemented yet to keep this patch relatively small and reviewable.)
To do this, we generalize most of the methods in the reflection probes
patch #11366 to be generic over a trait, `LightProbeComponent`. This
trait is implemented by both `EnvironmentMapLight` (for reflection
probes) and `IrradianceVolume` (for irradiance volumes). Using a trait
will allow us to add more types of light probes in the future. In
particular, I highly suspect we will want real-time reflection planes
for mirrors in the future, which can be easily slotted into this
framework.
## Changelog
> This section is optional. If this was a trivial fix, or has no
externally-visible impact, you can delete this section.
### Added
* A new `IrradianceVolume` asset type is available for baked voxelized
light probes. You can bake the global illumination using Blender or
another tool of your choice and use it in Bevy to apply indirect
illumination to dynamic objects.
# Objective
During my exploratory work on the remote editor, I found a couple of
types that were either not registered, or that were missing
`ReflectDefault`.
## Solution
- Added registration and `ReflectDefault` where applicable
- (Drive by fix) Moved `Option<f32>` registration to `bevy_core` instead
of `bevy_ui`, along with similar types.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed: Registered `FogSettings`, `FogFalloff`,
`ParallaxMappingMethod`, `OpaqueRendererMethod` structs for reflection
- Fixed: Registered `ReflectDefault` trait for `ColorGrading` and
`CascadeShadowConfig` structs
# 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
- Some places manually use a `bool` /`AtomicBool` to warn once.
## Solution
- Use the `warn_once` macro which internally creates an `AtomicBool`.
Downside: in some case the warning state would have been reset after
recreating the struct carrying the warn state, whereas now it will
always warn only once per program run (For example, if all
`MeshPipeline`s are dropped or the `World` is recreated for
`Local<bool>`/ a `bool` resource, which shouldn't happen over the course
of a standard `App` run).
---
## Changelog
### Removed
- `FontAtlasWarning` has been removed, but the corresponding warning is
still emitted.
# Objective
- Pipeline compilation is slow and blocks the frame
- Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8224
## Solution
- Compile pipelines in a Task on the AsyncComputeTaskPool
---
## Changelog
- Render/compute pipeline compilation is now done asynchronously over
multiple frames when the multi-threaded feature is enabled and on
non-wasm and non-macOS platforms
- Added `CachedPipelineState::Creating`
- Added `PipelineCache::block_on_render_pipeline()`
- Added `bevy_utils::futures::check_ready`
- Added `bevy_render/multi-threaded` cargo feature
## Migration Guide
- Match on the new `Creating` variant for exhaustive matches of
`CachedPipelineState`
# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# Objective
- Address #10338
## Solution
- When implementing specular and diffuse transmission, I inadvertently
introduced a performance regression. On high-end hardware it is barely
noticeable, but **for lower-end hardware it can be pretty brutal**. If I
understand it correctly, this is likely due to use of masking by the GPU
to implement control flow, which means that you still pay the price for
the branches you don't take;
- To avoid that, this PR introduces new shader defs (controlled via
`StandardMaterialKey`) that conditionally include the transmission
logic, that way the shader code for both types of transmission isn't
even sent to the GPU if you're not using them;
- This PR also renames ~~`STANDARDMATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP`~~ to
`STANDARD_MATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP` for consistency with the naming
convention used elsewhere in the codebase. (Drive-by fix)

- Added new shader defs, set when using transmission in the
`StandardMaterial`:
- `STANDARD_MATERIAL_SPECULAR_TRANSMISSION`;
- `STANDARD_MATERIAL_DIFFUSE_TRANSMISSION`;
- `STANDARD_MATERIAL_SPECULAR_OR_DIFFUSE_TRANSMISSION`.
- Fixed performance regression caused by the introduction of
transmission, by gating transmission shader logic behind the newly
introduced shader defs;
- Renamed ~~`STANDARDMATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP`~~ to
`STANDARD_MATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP` for consistency;
## Migration Guide
- If you were using `#ifdef STANDARDMATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP` on your shader
code, make sure to update the name to `STANDARD_MATERIAL_NORMAL_MAP`;
(with an underscore between `STANDARD` and `MATERIAL`)
# Objective
The whole `Cow<'static, str>` naming for nodes and subgraphs in
`RenderGraph` is a mess.
## Solution
Replaces hardcoded and potentially overlapping strings for nodes and
subgraphs inside `RenderGraph` with bevy's labelsystem.
---
## Changelog
* Two new labels: `RenderLabel` and `RenderSubGraph`.
* Replaced all uses for hardcoded strings with those labels
* Moved `Taa` label from its own mod to all the other `Labels3d`
* `add_render_graph_edges` now needs a tuple of labels
* Moved `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion` label from its own mod with the
`ShadowPass` label to `LabelsPbr`
* Removed `NodeId`
* Renamed `Edges.id()` to `Edges.label()`
* Removed `NodeLabel`
* Changed examples according to the new label system
* Introduced new `RenderLabel`s: `Labels2d`, `Labels3d`, `LabelsPbr`,
`LabelsUi`
* Introduced new `RenderSubGraph`s: `SubGraph2d`, `SubGraph3d`,
`SubGraphUi`
* Removed `Reflect` and `Default` derive from `CameraRenderGraph`
component struct
* Improved some error messages
## Migration Guide
For Nodes and SubGraphs, instead of using hardcoded strings, you now
pass labels, which can be derived with structs and enums.

## Future work
* Make `NodeSlot`s also use types. Ideally, we have an enum with unit
variants where every variant resembles one slot. Then to make sure you
are using the right slot enum and make rust-analyzer play nicely with
it, we should make an associated type in the `Node` trait. With today's
system, we can introduce 3rd party slots to a node, and i wasnt sure if
this was used, so I didn't do this in this PR.
## Unresolved Questions
When looking at the `post_processing` example, we have a struct for the
label and a struct for the node, this seems like boilerplate and on
discord, @IceSentry (sowy for the ping)
[asked](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1175197016947699742)
if a node could automatically introduce a label (or i completely
misunderstood that). The problem with that is, that nodes like
`EmptyNode` exist multiple times *inside the same* (sub)graph, so there
we need extern labels to distinguish between those. Hopefully we can
find a way to reduce boilerplate and still have everything unique. For
EmptyNode, we could maybe make a macro which implements an "empty node"
for a type, but for nodes which contain code and need to be present
multiple times, this could get nasty...
# Objective
When developing my game I realized `extract_clusters` and
`prepare_clusters` systems are taking a lot of time despite me creating
very little lights. Reducing number of clusters from the default 4096 to
2048 or less greatly improved performance and stabilized FPS (~300 ->
1000+). I debugged it and found out that the main reason for this is
cloning `VisiblePointLights` in `extract_clusters` system. It contains
light entities grouped by clusters that they affect. The problem is that
we clone 4096 (assuming the default clusters configuration) vectors
every frame. If many of them happen to be non-empty it starts to be a
bottleneck because there is a lot of heap allocation. It wouldn't be a
problem if we reused those vectors in following frames but we don't.
## Solution
Avoid cloning multiple vectors and instead build a single vector
containing data for all clusters.
I've recorded a trace in `3d_scene` example with disabled v-sync before
and after the change.
Mean FPS went from 424 to 990. Mean time for `extract_clusters` system
was reduced from 210 us to 24 us and `prepare_clusters` from 189 us to
87 us.
---
## Changelog
- Improved performance of `extract_clusters` and `prepare_clusters`
systems for scenes where lights affect a big part of it.
# Objective
DXC+DX12 debug builds with an environment map have been broken since
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11366 merged due to an internal
compiler error in DXC. I tracked it down to a single `break` statement
and reported it upstream
(https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/issues/6183)
## Solution
Workaround the ICE by setting the for loop index variable to the max
value of the loop to avoid the `break` that's causing the ICE.
This works because it's the last thing in the for loop.
The `reflection_probes` and `pbr` examples both appear to still work
correctly.
# 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:

> 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.

# Objective
- since #9685 ,bevy introduce automatic batching of draw commands,
- `batch_and_prepare_render_phase` take the responsibility for batching
`phaseItem`,
- `GetBatchData` trait is used for indentify each phaseitem how to
batch. it defines a associated type `Data `used for Query to fetch data
from world.
- however,the impl of `GetBatchData ` in bevy always set ` type
Data=Entity` then we acually get following code
`let entity:Entity =query.get(item.entity())` that cause unnecessary
overhead .
## Solution
- remove associated type `Data ` and `Filter` from `GetBatchData `,
- change the type of the `query_item ` parameter in get_batch_data from`
Self::Data` to `Entity`.
- `batch_and_prepare_render_phase ` no longer takes a query using
`F::Data, F::Filter`
- `get_batch_data `now returns `Option<(Self::BufferData,
Option<Self::CompareData>)>`

This pull request re-submits #10057, which was backed out for breaking
macOS, iOS, and Android. I've tested this version on macOS and Android
and on the iOS simulator.
# 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

## Changelog
- Added a `brightness` control to `Skybox`.
- Added an `intensity` control to `EnvironmentMapLight`.
- Added `ExposureSettings` and `PhysicalCameraParameters` for
controlling exposure of 3D cameras.
- Removed the baked-in `DirectionalLight` exposure Bevy previously
hardcoded internally.
## Migration Guide
- If using a `Skybox` or `EnvironmentMapLight`, use the new `brightness`
and `intensity` controls to adjust their strength.
- All 3D scene will now have different apparent brightnesses due to Bevy
implementing proper exposure controls. You will have to adjust the
intensity of your lights and/or your camera exposure via the new
`ExposureSettings` component to compensate.

## Solution
SSAO's sample_mip_level was always giving negative values because it was
in UV space (0..1) when it needed to be in pixel units (0..resolution).
Fixing it so it properly samples lower mip levels when appropriate is a
pretty large speedup (~3.2ms -> ~1ms at 4k, ~507us-> 256us at 1080p on a
6800xt), and I didn't notice any obvious visual quality differences.

# 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

## 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`.

- 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

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())),
),
),
);
```

## Changelog
- Added `BindGroupLayoutEntries` and all `BindingType` helper functions.

separately
```rust
// 0.12
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor {

# 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.

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).

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

## 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.

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`
