This commit allows the Bevy renderer to use the clustering
infrastructure for light probes (reflection probes and irradiance
volumes) on platforms where at least 3 storage buffers are available. On
such platforms (the vast majority), we stop performing brute-force
searches of light probes for each fragment and instead only search the
light probes with bounding spheres that intersect the current cluster.
This should dramatically improve scalability of irradiance volumes and
reflection probes.
The primary platform that doesn't support 3 storage buffers is WebGL 2,
and we continue using a brute-force search of light probes on that
platform, as the UBO that stores per-cluster indices is too small to fit
the light probe counts. Note, however, that that platform also doesn't
support bindless textures (indeed, it would be very odd for a platform
to support bindless textures but not SSBOs), so we only support one of
each type of light probe per drawcall there in the first place.
Consequently, this isn't a performance problem, as the search will only
have one light probe to consider. (In fact, clustering would probably
end up being a performance loss.)
Known potential improvements include:
1. We currently cull based on a conservative bounding sphere test and
not based on the oriented bounding box (OBB) of the light probe. This is
improvable, but in the interests of simplicity, I opted to keep the
bounding sphere test for now. The OBB improvement can be a follow-up.
2. This patch doesn't change the fact that each fragment only takes a
single light probe into account. Typical light probe implementations
detect the case in which multiple light probes cover the current
fragment and perform some sort of weighted blend between them. As the
light probe fetch function presently returns only a single light probe,
implementing that feature would require more code restructuring, so I
left it out for now. It can be added as a follow-up.
3. Light probe implementations typically have a falloff range. Although
this is a wanted feature in Bevy, this particular commit also doesn't
implement that feature, as it's out of scope.
4. This commit doesn't raise the maximum number of light probes past its
current value of 8 for each type. This should be addressed later, but
would possibly require more bindings on platforms with storage buffers,
which would increase this patch's complexity. Even without raising the
limit, this patch should constitute a significant performance
improvement for scenes that get anywhere close to this limit. In the
interest of keeping this patch small, I opted to leave raising the limit
to a follow-up.
## Changelog
### Changed
* Light probes (reflection probes and irradiance volumes) are now
clustered on most platforms, improving performance when many light
probes are present.

# Objective
Make documentation of a component's required components more visible by
moving it to the type's docs
## Solution
Change `#[require]` from a derive macro helper to an attribute macro.
Disadvantages:
- this silences any unused code warnings on the component, as it is used
by the macro!
- need to import `require` if not using the ecs prelude (I have not
included this in the migration guilde as Rust tooling already suggests
the fix)

# Objective
Fixes#15940
## Solution
Remove the `pub use` and fix the compile errors.
Make `bevy_image` available as `bevy::image`.
## Testing
Feature Frenzy would be good here! Maybe I'll learn how to use it if I
have some time this weekend, or maybe a reviewer can use it.
## Migration Guide
Use `bevy_image` instead of `bevy_render::texture` items.

# Objective
- wgpu 0.20 made workgroup vars stop being zero-init by default. this
broke some applications (cough foresight cough) and now we workaround
it. wgpu exposes a compilation option that zero initializes workgroup
memory by default, but bevy does not expose it.
## Solution
- expose the compilation option wgpu gives us
## Testing
- ran examples: 3d_scene, compute_shader_game_of_life, gpu_readback,
lines, specialized_mesh_pipeline. they all work
- confirmed fix for our own problems
---
</details>
## Migration Guide
- add `zero_initialize_workgroup_memory: false,` to
`ComputePipelineDescriptor` or `RenderPipelineDescriptor` structs to
preserve 0.14 functionality, add `zero_initialize_workgroup_memory:
true,` to restore bevy 0.13 functionality.
# Objective
Getting closer to the end! Another part of the required components
migration: reflection probes.
## Solution
As per the [proposal added by
Cart](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FNmpIh0tGSiayGlswbfcEzw)
(Proposal 2), make `LightProbe` require `Transform` and `Visibility`,
and deprecate `ReflectionProbeBundle`.
Note that this proposal wasn't officially blessed yet, but it is the
only existing one that really works, so I implemented it here for
consideration.
## Testing
I ran the reflection probe example, and it appears to work.
---
## Migration Guide
`ReflectionProbeBundle` has been deprecated in favor of inserting the
`LightProbe` and `EnvironmentMapLight` components directly. Inserting
them will now automatically insert `Transform` and `Visibility`
components.

# Objective
Again, a step forward in the migration to required components: a bunch
of camera rendering cormponents!
Note that this does not include the camera components themselves yet,
because the naming and API for `Camera` hasn't been fully decided yet.
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposals](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FpiqD9GOdSFKZZGzzh3C7Uw):
- Deprecate `MotionBlurBundle` in favor of the `MotionBlur` component
- Deprecate `TemporalAntiAliasBundle` in favor of the
`TemporalAntiAliasing` component
- Deprecate `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionBundle` in favor of the
`ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion` component
- Deprecate `ScreenSpaceReflectionsBundle` in favor of the
`ScreenSpaceReflections` component
---
## Migration Guide
`MotionBlurBundle`, `TemporalAntiAliasBundle`,
`ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionBundle`, and `ScreenSpaceReflectionsBundle`
have been deprecated in favor of the `MotionBlur`,
`TemporalAntiAliasing`, `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`, and
`ScreenSpaceReflections` components instead. Inserting them will now
also insert the other components required by them automatically.
# Objective
The names of numerous rendering components in Bevy are inconsistent and
a bit confusing. Relevant names include:
- `AutoExposureSettings`
- `AutoExposureSettingsUniform`
- `BloomSettings`
- `BloomUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `BloomPrefilterSettings`
- `ChromaticAberration` (no `Settings`)
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpeningSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `FogSettings`
- `SmaaSettings`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` (really
inconsistent??)
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings`
- `VolumetricFogSettings`
Firstly, there's a lot of inconsistency between `Foo`/`FooSettings` and
`FooUniform`/`FooSettingsUniform` and whether names are abbreviated or
not.
Secondly, the `Settings` post-fix seems unnecessary and a bit confusing
semantically, since it makes it seem like the component is mostly just
auxiliary configuration instead of the core *thing* that actually
enables the feature. This will be an even bigger problem once bundles
like `TemporalAntiAliasBundle` are deprecated in favor of required
components, as users will expect a component named `TemporalAntiAlias`
(or similar), not `TemporalAntiAliasSettings`.
## Solution
Drop the `Settings` post-fix from the component names, and change some
names to be more consistent.
- `AutoExposure`
- `AutoExposureUniform`
- `Bloom`
- `BloomUniform`
- `BloomPrefilter`
- `ChromaticAberration`
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpening`
- `DepthOfField`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform`
- `DistanceFog`
- `Smaa`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasing` (note: we might want to change
to `Taa`, see "Discussion")
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFog`
I kept the old names as deprecated type aliases to make migration a bit
less painful for users. We should remove them after the next release.
(And let me know if I should just... not add them at all)
I also added some very basic docs for a few types where they were
missing, like on `Fxaa` and `DepthOfField`.
## Discussion
- `TemporalAntiAliasing` is still inconsistent with `Smaa` and `Fxaa`.
Consensus [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1280601167209955431)
seemed to be that renaming to `Taa` would probably be fine, but I think
it's a bit more controversial, and it would've required renaming a lot
of related types like `TemporalAntiAliasNode`,
`TemporalAntiAliasBundle`, and `TemporalAntiAliasPlugin`, so I think
it's better to leave to a follow-up.
- I think `Fog` should probably have a more specific name like
`DistanceFog` considering it seems to be distinct from `VolumetricFog`.
~~This should probably be done in a follow-up though, so I just removed
the `Settings` post-fix for now.~~ (done)
---
## Migration Guide
Many rendering components have been renamed for improved consistency and
clarity.
- `AutoExposureSettings` → `AutoExposure`
- `BloomSettings` → `Bloom`
- `BloomPrefilterSettings` → `BloomPrefilter`
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpeningSettings` → `ContrastAdaptiveSharpening`
- `DepthOfFieldSettings` → `DepthOfField`
- `FogSettings` → `DistanceFog`
- `SmaaSettings` → `Smaa`
- `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` → `TemporalAntiAliasing`
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings` → `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` → `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFogSettings` → `VolumetricFog`

# Objective
- Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14036
## Solution
- Add a world space transformation for the environment sample direction.
## Testing
- I have tested the newly added `transform` field using the newly added
`rotate_environment_map` example.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de77c65-14bc-48ee-b76a-fb4e9782dbdb
## Migration Guide
- Since we have added a new filed to the `EnvironmentMapLight` struct,
users will need to include `..default()` or some rotation value in their
initialization code.
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.
