# Objective
- Less code
- Better iterator (implements `size_hint` for example)
## Solution
- Use `either`
- This change is free because `bevy_animation` depends on `bevy_asset`,
which already depends on `either`
## Testing
CI
# Objective
Add support for events that can be triggered from animation clips. This
is useful when you need something to happen at a specific time in an
animation. For example, playing a sound every time a characters feet
hits the ground when walking.
Closes#15494
## Solution
Added a new field to `AnimationClip`: `events`, which contains a list of
`AnimationEvent`s. These are automatically triggered in
`animate_targets` and `trigger_untargeted_animation_events`.
## Testing
Added a couple of tests and example (`animation_events.rs`) to make sure
events are triggered when expected.
---
## Showcase
`Events` need to also implement `AnimationEvent` and `Reflect` to be
used with animations.
```rust
#[derive(Event, AnimationEvent, Reflect)]
struct SomeEvent;
```
Events can be added to an `AnimationClip` by specifying a time and
event.
```rust
// trigger an event after 1.0 second
animation_clip.add_event(1.0, SomeEvent);
```
And optionally, providing a target id.
```rust
let id = AnimationTargetId::from_iter(["shoulder", "arm", "hand"]);
animation_clip.add_event_to_target(id, 1.0, HandEvent);
```
I modified the `animated_fox` example to show off the feature.

This is an updated version of #15530. Review comments were addressed.
This commit changes the animation graph evaluation to be operate in a
more sensible order and updates the semantics of blend nodes to conform
to [the animation composition RFC]. Prior to this patch, a node graph
like this:
```
┌─────┐
│ │
│ 1 │
│ │
└──┬──┘
│
┌───────┴───────┐
│ │
▼ ▼
┌─────┐ ┌─────┐
│ │ │ │
│ 2 │ │ 3 │
│ │ │ │
└──┬──┘ └──┬──┘
│ │
┌───┴───┐ ┌───┴───┐
│ │ │ │
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐ ┌─────┐
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
│ 4 │ │ 6 │ │ 5 │ │ 7 │
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
└─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘ └─────┘
```
Would be evaluated as (((4 ⊕ 5) ⊕ 6) ⊕ 7), with the blend (lerp/slerp)
operation notated as ⊕. As quaternion multiplication isn't commutative,
this is very counterintuitive and will especially lead to trouble with
the forthcoming additive blending feature (#15198).
This patch fixes the issue by changing the evaluation order to
postorder, with children of a node evaluated in ascending order by node
index.
To do so, this patch revamps `AnimationCurve` to be based on an
*evaluation stack* and a *blend register*. During target evaluation, the
graph evaluator traverses the graph in postorder. When encountering a
clip node, the evaluator pushes the possibly-interpolated value onto the
evaluation stack. When encountering a blend node, the evaluator pops
values off the stack into the blend register, accumulating weights as
appropriate. When the graph is completely evaluated, the top element on
the stack is *committed* to the property of the component.
A new system, the *graph threading* system, is added in order to cache
the sorted postorder traversal to avoid the overhead of sorting children
at animation evaluation time. Mask evaluation has been moved to this
system so that the graph only has to be traversed at most once per
frame. Unlike the `ActiveAnimation` list, the *threaded graph* is cached
from frame to frame and only has to be regenerated when the animation
graph asset changes.
This patch currently regresses the `animate_target` performance in
`many_foxes` by around 50%, resulting in an FPS loss of about 2-3 FPS.
I'd argue that this is an acceptable price to pay for a much more
intuitive system. In the future, we can mitigate the regression with a
fast path that avoids consulting the graph if only one animation is
playing. However, in the interest of keeping this patch simple, I didn't
do so here.

Currently, Bevy restricts animation clips to animating
`Transform::translation`, `Transform::rotation`, `Transform::scale`, or
`MorphWeights`, which correspond to the properties that glTF can
animate. This is insufficient for many use cases such as animating UI,
as the UI layout systems expect to have exclusive control over UI
elements' `Transform`s and therefore the `Style` properties must be
animated instead.
This commit fixes this, allowing for `AnimationClip`s to animate
arbitrary properties. The `Keyframes` structure has been turned into a
low-level trait that can be implemented to achieve arbitrary animation
behavior. Along with `Keyframes`, this patch adds a higher-level trait,
`AnimatableProperty`, that simplifies the task of animating single
interpolable properties. Built-in `Keyframes` implementations exist for
translation, rotation, scale, and morph weights. For the most part, you
can migrate by simply changing your code from
`Keyframes::Translation(...)` to `TranslationKeyframes(...)`, and
likewise for rotation, scale, and morph weights.
An example `AnimatableProperty` implementation for the font size of a
text section follows:
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = Text;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut
Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
}
}
In order to keep this patch relatively small, this patch doesn't include
an implementation of `AnimatableProperty` on top of the reflection
system. That can be a follow-up.
This patch builds on top of the new `EntityMutExcept<>` type in order to
widen the `AnimationTarget` query to include write access to all
components. Because `EntityMutExcept<>` has some performance overhead
over an explicit query, we continue to explicitly query `Transform` in
order to avoid regressing the performance of skeletal animation, such as
the `many_foxes` benchmark. I've measured the performance of that
benchmark and have found no significant regressions.
A new example, `animated_ui`, has been added. This example shows how to
use Bevy's built-in animation infrastructure to animate font size and
color, which wasn't possible before this patch.
## Showcase
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1fa73492-a9ce-405a-a8f2-4aacd7f6dc97
## Migration Guide
* Animation keyframes are now an extensible trait, not an enum. Replace
`Keyframes::Translation(...)`, `Keyframes::Scale(...)`,
`Keyframes::Rotation(...)`, and `Keyframes::Weights(...)` with
`Box::new(TranslationKeyframes(...))`, `Box::new(ScaleKeyframes(...))`,
`Box::new(RotationKeyframes(...))`, and
`Box::new(MorphWeightsKeyframes(...))` respectively.
# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.
---
## Changelog
- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the
definitions.

# 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
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.
This is an implementation of RFC #51:
https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/51-animation-composition.md
Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined
in that RFC, because two-phase animation has now landed.
# Objective
Bevy needs animation blending. The RFC for this is [RFC 51].
## Solution
This is an implementation of the RFC. Note that the implementation
strategy is different from the one outlined there, because two-phase
animation has now landed.
This is just a draft to get the conversation started. Currently we're
missing a few things:
- [x] A fully-fleshed-out mechanism for transitions
- [x] A serialization format for `AnimationGraph`s
- [x] Examples are broken, other than `animated_fox`
- [x] Documentation
---
## Changelog
### Added
* The `AnimationPlayer` has been reworked to support blending multiple
animations together through an `AnimationGraph`, and as such will no
longer function unless a `Handle<AnimationGraph>` has been added to the
entity containing the player. See [RFC 51] for more details.
* Transition functionality has moved from the `AnimationPlayer` to a new
component, `AnimationTransitions`, which works in tandem with the
`AnimationGraph`.
## Migration Guide
* `AnimationPlayer`s can no longer play animations by themselves and
need to be paired with a `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. Code that was using
`AnimationPlayer` to play animations will need to create an
`AnimationGraph` asset first, add a node for the clip (or clips) you
want to play, and then supply the index of that node to the
`AnimationPlayer`'s `play` method.
* The `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()` method has been removed
and replaced with the `AnimationTransitions` component. If you were
previously using `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()`, add all
animations that you were playing to the `AnimationGraph`, and create an
`AnimationTransitions` component to manage the blending between them.

# 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
Fixes#11298. Make the use of bevy_log vs bevy_utils::tracing more
consistent.
## Solution
Replace all uses of bevy_log's logging macros with the reexport from
bevy_utils. Remove bevy_log as a dependency where it's no longer needed
anymore.
Ideally we should just be using tracing directly, but given that all of
these crates are already using bevy_utils, this likely isn't that great
of a loss right now.
Fixes#12016.

# Objective
Bevy's animation system currently does tree traversals based on `Name`
that aren't necessary. Not only do they require in unsafe code because
tree traversals are awkward with parallelism, but they are also somewhat
slow, brittle, and complex, which manifested itself as way too many
queries in #11670.
# Solution
Divide animation into two phases: animation *advancement* and animation
*evaluation*, which run after one another. *Advancement* operates on the
`AnimationPlayer` and sets the current animation time to match the game
time. *Evaluation* operates on all animation bones in the scene in
parallel and sets the transforms and/or morph weights based on the time
and the clip.
To do this, we introduce a new component, `AnimationTarget`, which the
asset loader places on every bone. It contains the ID of the entity
containing the `AnimationPlayer`, as well as a UUID that identifies
which bone in the animation the target corresponds to. In the case of
glTF, the UUID is derived from the full path name to the bone. The rule
that `AnimationTarget`s are descendants of the entity containing
`AnimationPlayer` is now just a convention, not a requirement; this
allows us to eliminate the unsafe code.
# Migration guide
* `AnimationClip` now uses UUIDs instead of hierarchical paths based on
the `Name` component to refer to bones. This has several consequences:
- A new component, `AnimationTarget`, should be placed on each bone that
you wish to animate, in order to specify its UUID and the associated
`AnimationPlayer`. The glTF loader automatically creates these
components as necessary, so most uses of glTF rigs shouldn't need to
change.
- Moving a bone around the tree, or renaming it, no longer prevents an
`AnimationPlayer` from affecting it.
- Dynamically changing the `AnimationPlayer` component will likely
require manual updating of the `AnimationTarget` components.
* Entities with `AnimationPlayer` components may now possess descendants
that also have `AnimationPlayer` components. They may not, however,
animate the same bones.
* As they aren't specific to `TypeId`s,
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHash` and
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHasher` have been renamed to
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHash` and
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHasher` respectively.
# Objective
- Standardize fmt for toml files
## Solution
- Add [taplo](https://taplo.tamasfe.dev/) to CI (check for fmt and diff
for toml files), for context taplo is used by the most popular extension
in VScode [Even Better
TOML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml
- Add contribution section to explain toml fmt with taplo.
Now to pass CI you need to run `taplo fmt --option indent_string=" "` or
if you use vscode have the `Even Better TOML` extension with 4 spaces
for indent

# Objective
- Add morph targets to `bevy_pbr` (closes#5756) & load them from glTF
- Supersedes #3722
- Fixes#6814
[Morph targets][1] (also known as shape interpolation, shape keys, or
blend shapes) allow animating individual vertices with fine grained
controls. This is typically used for facial expressions. By specifying
multiple poses as vertex offset, and providing a set of weight of each
pose, it is possible to define surprisingly realistic transitions
between poses. Blending between multiple poses also allow composition.
Morph targets are part of the [gltf standard][2] and are a feature of
Unity and Unreal, and babylone.js, it is only natural to implement them
in bevy.
## Solution
This implementation of morph targets uses a 3d texture where each pixel
is a component of an animated attribute. Each layer is a different
target. We use a 2d texture for each target, because the number of
attribute×components×animated vertices is expected to always exceed the
maximum pixel row size limit of webGL2. It copies fairly closely the way
skinning is implemented on the CPU side, while on the GPU side, the
shader morph target implementation is a relatively trivial detail.
We add an optional `morph_texture` to the `Mesh` struct. The
`morph_texture` is built through a method that accepts an iterator over
attribute buffers.
The `MorphWeights` component, user-accessible, controls the blend of
poses used by mesh instances (so that multiple copy of the same mesh may
have different weights), all the weights are uploaded to a uniform
buffer of 256 `f32`. We limit to 16 poses per mesh, and a total of 256
poses.

## Future work
- Handling of less and more attributes (eg: animated uv, animated
arbitrary attributes)
- Dynamic pose allocation (so that zero-weighted poses aren't uploaded
to GPU for example, enables much more total poses)
- Better animation API, see #8357
----
## Changelog
- Add morph targets to bevy meshes
- Support up to 64 poses per mesh of individually up to 116508 vertices,
animation currently strictly limited to the position, normal and tangent
attributes.
- Load a morph target using `Mesh::set_morph_targets`
- Add `VisitMorphTargets` and `VisitMorphAttributes` traits to
`bevy_render`, this allows defining morph targets (a fairly complex and
nested data structure) through iterators (ie: single copy instead of
passing around buffers), see documentation of those traits for details
- Add `MorphWeights` component exported by `bevy_render`
- `MorphWeights` control mesh's morph target weights, blending between
various poses defined as morph targets.
- `MorphWeights` are directly inherited by direct children (single level
of hierarchy) of an entity. This allows controlling several mesh
primitives through a unique entity _as per GLTF spec_.
- Add `MorphTargetNames` component, naming each indices of loaded morph
targets.
- Load morph targets weights and buffers in `bevy_gltf`
- handle morph targets animations in `bevy_animation` (previously, it
was a `warn!` log)
- Add the `MorphStressTest.gltf` asset for morph targets testing, taken
from the glTF samples repo, CC0.
- Add morph target manipulation to `scene_viewer`
- Separate the animation code in `scene_viewer` from the rest of the
code, reducing `#[cfg(feature)]` noise
- Add the `morph_targets.rs` example to show off how to manipulate morph
targets, loading `MorpStressTest.gltf`
## Migration Guide
- (very specialized, unlikely to be touched by 3rd parties)
- `MeshPipeline` now has a single `mesh_layouts` field rather than
separate `mesh_layout` and `skinned_mesh_layout` fields. You should
handle all possible mesh bind group layouts in your implementation
- You should also handle properly the new `MORPH_TARGETS` shader def and
mesh pipeline key. A new function is exposed to make this easier:
`setup_moprh_and_skinning_defs`
- The `MeshBindGroup` is now `MeshBindGroups`, cached bind groups are
now accessed through the `get` method.

# Objective
Reduce the catch-all grab-bag of functionality in bevy_core by minimally splitting off time functionality into bevy_time. Functionality like that provided by #3002 would increase the complexity of bevy_time, so this is a good candidate for pulling into its own unit.
A step in addressing #2931 and splitting bevy_core into more specific locations.
## Solution
Pull the time module of bevy_core into a new crate, bevy_time.
# Migration guide
- Time related types (e.g. `Time`, `Timer`, `Stopwatch`, `FixedTimestep`, etc.) should be imported from `bevy::time::*` rather than `bevy::core::*`.
- If you were adding `CorePlugin` manually, you'll also want to add `TimePlugin` from `bevy::time`.
- The `bevy::core::CorePlugin::Time` system label is replaced with `bevy::time::TimeSystem`.
