Fix intra-doc links and make CI test them (#14076)
# Objective - Bevy currently has lot of invalid intra-doc links, let's fix them! - Also make CI test them, to avoid future regressions. - Helps with #1983 (but doesn't fix it, as there could still be explicit links to docs.rs that are broken) ## Solution - Make `cargo r -p ci -- doc-check` check fail on warnings (could also be changed to just some specific lints) - Manually fix all the warnings (note that in some cases it was unclear to me what the fix should have been, I'll try to highlight them in a self-review) |

Rename "point light" to "clusterable object" in cluster contexts. (#13654)
We want to use the clustering infrastructure for light probes and decals as well, not just point lights. This patch builds on top of #13640 and performs the rename. To make this series easier to review, this patch makes no code changes. Only identifiers and comments are modified. ## Migration Guide * In the PBR shaders, `point_lights` is now known as `clusterable_objects`, `PointLight` is now known as `ClusterableObject`, and `cluster_light_index_lists` is now known as `clusterable_object_index_lists`. |

Move clustering-related types and functions into their own module. (#13640)
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. |

Implement opt-in sharp screen-space reflections for the deferred renderer, with improved raymarching code. (#13418)
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.   |

Implement volumetric fog and volumetric lighting, also known as light shafts or god rays. (#13057)
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.

Meshlet continuous LOD (#12755)
Adds a basic level of detail system to meshlets. An extremely brief summary is as follows: * In `from_mesh.rs`, once we've built the first level of clusters, we group clusters, simplify the new mega-clusters, and then split the simplified groups back into regular sized clusters. Repeat several times (ideally until you can't anymore). This forms a directed acyclic graph (DAG), where the children are the meshlets from the previous level, and the parents are the more simplified versions of their children. The leaf nodes are meshlets formed from the original mesh. * In `cull_meshlets.wgsl`, each cluster selects whether to render or not based on the LOD bounding sphere (different than the culling bounding sphere) of the current meshlet, the LOD bounding sphere of its parent (the meshlet group from simplification), and the simplification error relative to its children of both the current meshlet and its parent meshlet. This kind of breaks two pass occlusion culling, which will be fixed in a future PR by using an HZB from the previous frame to get the initial list of occluders. Many, _many_ improvements to be done in the future https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11518, not least of which is code quality and speed. I don't even expect this to work on many types of input meshes. This is just a basic implementation/draft for collaboration. Arguable how much we want to do in this PR, I'll leave that up to maintainers. I've erred on the side of "as basic as possible".

Divide the single VisibleEntities list into separate lists for 2D meshes, 3D meshes, lights, and UI elements, for performance. (#12582)
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`):  |

Generate MeshUniforms on the GPU via compute shader where available. (#12773)
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`. |

Consolidate Render(Ui)Materials(2d) into RenderAssets (#12827)
# 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. |

Refactor App and SubApp internals for better separation (#9202)
# 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>.` |

Improve performance by binning together opaque items instead of sorting them. (#12453)
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. ## Tracy graphs `many-cubes --no-frustum-culling`, `main` branch: <img width="1064" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-12 180037" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/e1180ce8-8e89-46d2-85e3-f59f72109a55"> `many-cubes --no-frustum-culling`, this branch: <img width="1064" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-12 180011" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/0899f036-6075-44c5-a972-44d95895f46c"> You can see that `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` is a much smaller fraction of the time. Zooming in on that function, with yellow being this branch and red being `main`, we see: <img width="1064" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-12 175832" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/0dfc8d3f-49f4-496e-8825-a66e64d356d0"> The binning happens in `queue_material_meshes`. Again with yellow being this branch and red being `main`: <img width="1064" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-12 175755" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/157897/b9b20dc1-11c8-400c-a6cc-1c2e09c1bb96"> We can see that there is a small regression in `queue_material_meshes` performance, but it's not nearly enough to outweigh the large gains in `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`. --------- Co-authored-by: James Liu <contact@jamessliu.com> |

Make PersistentGpuBufferable a safe trait (#12744)
# 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`. |

Set the logo and favicon for all of Bevy's published crates (#12696)
# 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. |

Add "all-features = true" to docs.rs metadata for most crates (#12366)
# 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 |

Clean up type registrations (#12314)
# 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. |

Migrate from LegacyColor to bevy_color::Color (#12163)
# 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. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecil@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Afonso Lage <lage.afonso@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Rob Parrett <robparrett@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Zachary Harrold <zac@harrold.com.au> |

Rename bevy_render::Color to LegacyColor (#12069)
# 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! --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecil@gmail.com> |

Move AlphaMode into bevy_render (#12012)
# Objective - 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. |

Rename Core Render Graph Labels (#11882)
# 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` |

Change light defaults & fix light examples (#11581)
# 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` |

Missing registrations (#11736)
# 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 |

Inverse missing_docs logic (#11676)

RenderGraph Labelization (#10644)
# 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...

Implement minimal reflection probes (fixed macOS, iOS, and Android). (#11366)
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 *LightProbe* and an *EnvironmentMapLight* offers *reflection probe* functionality similar to that available in other engines.

These issues notwithstanding, I think it's best to land this with roughly the current set of functionality, because this patch is useful as is and adding everything above would make the pull request significantly larger and harder to review. --- ## Changelog ### Added * A new *LightProbe* component is available that specifies a bounding region that an *EnvironmentMapLight* applies to. The combination of a *LightProbe* and an *EnvironmentMapLight* offers *reflection probe* functionality similar to that available in other engines.

Implement lightmaps. (#10231)
 # 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.

Auto insert sync points (#9822)
# 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. ```text group auto-sync main-for-auto-sync ----- ----------- ------------------ build_schedule/1000_schedule 1.06 2.8±0.15s ? ?/sec 1.00 2.7±0.06s ? ?/sec build_schedule/1000_schedule_noconstraints 1.01 26.2±0.88ms ? ?/sec 1.00 25.8±0.36ms ? ?/sec build_schedule/100_schedule 1.02 13.1±0.33ms ? ?/sec 1.00 12.9±0.28ms ? ?/sec build_schedule/100_schedule_noconstraints 1.08 505.3±29.30µs ? ?/sec 1.00 469.4±12.48µs ? ?/sec build_schedule/500_schedule 1.00 485.5±6.29ms ? ?/sec 1.00 485.5±9.80ms ? ?/sec build_schedule/500_schedule_noconstraints 1.00 6.8±0.10ms ? ?/sec 1.02 6.9±0.16ms ? ?/sec ``` --- ## 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 --------- Co-authored-by: Joseph <21144246+JoJoJet@users.noreply.github.com> |

Add clippy::manual_let_else at warn level to lints (#10684)
# Objective Related to #10612. Enable the [`clippy::manual_let_else`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#manual_let_else) lint as a warning. The `let else` form seems more idiomatic to me than a `match`/`if else` that either match a pattern or diverge, and from the clippy doc, the lint doesn't seem to have any possible false positive. ## Solution Add the lint as warning in `Cargo.toml`, refactor places where the lint triggers. |

Make DirectionalLight Cascades computation generic over CameraProjection (#9226)
# Objective Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9077 (see this issue for motivations) ## Solution Implement 1 and 2 of the "How to fix it" section of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9077 `update_directional_light_cascades` is split into `clear_directional_light_cascades` and a generic `build_directional_light_cascades`, to clear once and potentially insert many times. --- ## Changelog `DirectionalLight`'s computation is now generic over `CameraProjection` and can work with custom camera projections. ## Migration Guide If you have a component `MyCustomProjection` that implements `CameraProjection`: - You need to implement a new required associated method, `get_frustum_corners`, returning an array of the corners of a subset of the frustum with given `z_near` and `z_far`, in local camera space. - You can now add the `build_directional_light_cascades::<MyCustomProjection>` system in `SimulationLightSystems::UpdateDirectionalLightCascades` after `clear_directional_light_cascades` for your projection to work with directional lights. --------- Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> |

StandardMaterial Light Transmission (#8015)
# Objective
<img width="1920" alt="Screenshot 2023-04-26 at 01 07 34"
src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/418473/234467578-0f34187b-5863-4ea1-88e9-7a6bb8ce8da3.png">
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

allow extensions to StandardMaterial (#7820)
# Objective allow extending `Material`s (including the built in `StandardMaterial`) with custom vertex/fragment shaders and additional data, to easily get pbr lighting with custom modifications, or otherwise extend a base material. # Solution - added `ExtendedMaterial<B: Material, E: MaterialExtension>` which contains a base material and a user-defined extension. - added example `extended_material` showing how to use it - modified AsBindGroup to have "unprepared" functions that return raw resources / layout entries so that the extended material can combine them note: doesn't currently work with array resources, as i can't figure out how to make the OwnedBindingResource::get_binding() work, as wgpu requires a `&'a[&'a TextureView]` and i have a `Vec<TextureView>`. # Migration Guide manual implementations of `AsBindGroup` will need to be adjusted, the changes are pretty straightforward and can be seen in the diff for e.g. the `texture_binding_array` example. --------- Co-authored-by: Robert Swain <robert.swain@gmail.com> |

Deferred Renderer (#9258)
# Objective - Add a [Deferred Renderer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_shading) to Bevy. - This allows subsequent passes to access per pixel material information before/during shading. - Accessing this per pixel material information is needed for some features, like GI. It also makes other features (ex. Decals) simpler to implement and/or improves their capability. There are multiple approaches to accomplishing this. The deferred shading approach works well given the limitations of WebGPU and WebGL2. Motivation: [I'm working on a GI solution for Bevy](https://youtu.be/eH1AkL-mwhI) # Solution - The deferred renderer is implemented with a prepass and a deferred lighting pass. - The prepass renders opaque objects into the Gbuffer attachment (`Rgba32Uint`). The PBR shader generates a `PbrInput` in mostly the same way as the forward implementation and then [packs it into the Gbuffer]( |

PCF For DirectionalLight/SpotLight Shadows (#8006)
# Objective - Improve antialiasing for non-point light shadow edges. - Very partially addresses https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3628. ## Solution - Implements "The Witness"'s shadow map sampling technique. - Ported from @superdump's old branch, all credit to them :) - Implements "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare"'s stochastic shadow map sampling technique when the velocity prepass is enabled, for use with TAA. - Uses interleaved gradient noise to generate a random angle, and then averages 8 samples in a spiral pattern, rotated by the random angle. - I also tried spatiotemporal blue noise, but it was far too noisy to be filtered by TAA alone. In the future, we should try spatiotemporal blue noise + a specialized shadow denoiser such as https://gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-denoiser/#shadow. This approach would also be useful for hybrid rasterized applications with raytraced shadows. - The COD presentation has an interesting temporal dithering of the noise for use with temporal supersampling that we should revisit when we get DLSS/FSR/other TSR. --- ## Changelog * Added `ShadowFilteringMethod`. Improved directional light and spotlight shadow edges to be less aliased. ## Migration Guide * Shadows cast by directional lights or spotlights now have smoother edges. To revert to the old behavior, add `ShadowFilteringMethod::Hardware2x2` to your cameras. --------- Co-authored-by: IceSentry <c.giguere42@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Daniel Chia <danstryder@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: robtfm <50659922+robtfm@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Brandon Dyer <brandondyer64@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Edgar Geier <geieredgar@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Robert Swain <robert.swain@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Elabajaba <Elabajaba@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: IceSentry <IceSentry@users.noreply.github.com> |

Bevy Asset V2 (#8624)
# Bevy Asset V2 Proposal ## Why Does Bevy Need A New Asset System? Asset pipelines are a central part of the gamedev process. Bevy's current asset system is missing a number of features that make it non-viable for many classes of gamedev. After plenty of discussions and [a long community feedback period](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/3972), we've identified a number missing features: * **Asset Preprocessing**: it should be possible to "preprocess" / "compile" / "crunch" assets at "development time" rather than when the game starts up. This enables offloading expensive work from deployed apps, faster asset loading, less runtime memory usage, etc. * **Per-Asset Loader Settings**: Individual assets cannot define their own loaders that override the defaults. Additionally, they cannot provide per-asset settings to their loaders. This is a huge limitation, as many asset types don't provide all information necessary for Bevy _inside_ the asset. For example, a raw PNG image says nothing about how it should be sampled (ex: linear vs nearest). * **Asset `.meta` files**: assets should have configuration files stored adjacent to the asset in question, which allows the user to configure asset-type-specific settings. These settings should be accessible during the pre-processing phase. Modifying a `.meta` file should trigger a re-processing / re-load of the asset. It should be possible to configure asset loaders from the meta file. * **Processed Asset Hot Reloading**: Changes to processed assets (or their dependencies) should result in re-processing them and re-loading the results in live Bevy Apps. * **Asset Dependency Tracking**: The current bevy_asset has no good way to wait for asset dependencies to load. It punts this as an exercise for consumers of the loader apis, which is unreasonable and error prone. There should be easy, ergonomic ways to wait for assets to load and block some logic on an asset's entire dependency tree loading. * **Runtime Asset Loading**: it should be (optionally) possible to load arbitrary assets dynamically at runtime. This necessitates being able to deploy and run the asset server alongside Bevy Apps on _all platforms_. For example, we should be able to invoke the shader compiler at runtime, stream scenes from sources like the internet, etc. To keep deployed binaries (and startup times) small, the runtime asset server configuration should be configurable with different settings compared to the "pre processor asset server". * **Multiple Backends**: It should be possible to load assets from arbitrary sources (filesystems, the internet, remote asset serves, etc). * **Asset Packing**: It should be possible to deploy assets in compressed "packs", which makes it easier and more efficient to distribute assets with Bevy Apps. * **Asset Handoff**: It should be possible to hold a "live" asset handle, which correlates to runtime data, without actually holding the asset in memory. Ex: it must be possible to hold a reference to a GPU mesh generated from a "mesh asset" without keeping the mesh data in CPU memory * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: Different platforms and app distributions have different capabilities and requirements. Some platforms need lower asset resolutions or different asset formats to operate within the hardware constraints of the platform. It should be possible to define per-platform asset processing profiles. And it should be possible to deploy only the assets required for a given platform. These features have architectural implications that are significant enough to require a full rewrite. The current Bevy Asset implementation got us this far, but it can take us no farther. This PR defines a brand new asset system that implements most of these features, while laying the foundations for the remaining features to be built. ## Bevy Asset V2 Here is a quick overview of the features introduced in this PR. * **Asset Preprocessing**: Preprocess assets at development time into more efficient (and configurable) representations * **Dependency Aware**: Dependencies required to process an asset are tracked. If an asset's processed dependency changes, it will be reprocessed * **Hot Reprocessing/Reloading**: detect changes to asset source files, reprocess them if they have changed, and then hot-reload them in Bevy Apps. * **Only Process Changes**: Assets are only re-processed when their source file (or meta file) has changed. This uses hashing and timestamps to avoid processing assets that haven't changed. * **Transactional and Reliable**: Uses write-ahead logging (a technique commonly used by databases) to recover from crashes / forced-exits. Whenever possible it avoids full-reprocessing / only uncompleted transactions will be reprocessed. When the processor is running in parallel with a Bevy App, processor asset writes block Bevy App asset reads. Reading metadata + asset bytes is guaranteed to be transactional / correctly paired. * **Portable / Run anywhere / Database-free**: The processor does not rely on an in-memory database (although it uses some database techniques for reliability). This is important because pretty much all in-memory databases have unsupported platforms or build complications. * **Configure Processor Defaults Per File Type**: You can say "use this processor for all files of this type". * **Custom Processors**: The `Processor` trait is flexible and unopinionated. It can be implemented by downstream plugins. * **LoadAndSave Processors**: Most asset processing scenarios can be expressed as "run AssetLoader A, save the results using AssetSaver X, and then load the result using AssetLoader B". For example, load this png image using `PngImageLoader`, which produces an `Image` asset and then save it using `CompressedImageSaver` (which also produces an `Image` asset, but in a compressed format), which takes an `Image` asset as input. This means if you have an `AssetLoader` for an asset, you are already half way there! It also means that you can share AssetSavers across multiple loaders. Because `CompressedImageSaver` accepts Bevy's generic Image asset as input, it means you can also use it with some future `JpegImageLoader`. * **Loader and Saver Settings**: Asset Loaders and Savers can now define their own settings types, which are passed in as input when an asset is loaded / saved. Each asset can define its own settings. * **Asset `.meta` files**: configure asset loaders, their settings, enable/disable processing, and configure processor settings * **Runtime Asset Dependency Tracking** Runtime asset dependencies (ex: if an asset contains a `Handle<Image>`) are tracked by the asset server. An event is emitted when an asset and all of its dependencies have been loaded * **Unprocessed Asset Loading**: Assets do not require preprocessing. They can be loaded directly. A processed asset is just a "normal" asset with some extra metadata. Asset Loaders don't need to know or care about whether or not an asset was processed. * **Async Asset IO**: Asset readers/writers use async non-blocking interfaces. Note that because Rust doesn't yet support async traits, there is a bit of manual Boxing / Future boilerplate. This will hopefully be removed in the near future when Rust gets async traits. * **Pluggable Asset Readers and Writers**: Arbitrary asset source readers/writers are supported, both by the processor and the asset server. * **Better Asset Handles** * **Single Arc Tree**: Asset Handles now use a single arc tree that represents the lifetime of the asset. This makes their implementation simpler, more efficient, and allows us to cheaply attach metadata to handles. Ex: the AssetPath of a handle is now directly accessible on the handle itself! * **Const Typed Handles**: typed handles can be constructed in a const context. No more weird "const untyped converted to typed at runtime" patterns! * **Handles and Ids are Smaller / Faster To Hash / Compare**: Typed `Handle<T>` is now much smaller in memory and `AssetId<T>` is even smaller. * **Weak Handle Usage Reduction**: In general Handles are now considered to be "strong". Bevy features that previously used "weak `Handle<T>`" have been ported to `AssetId<T>`, which makes it statically clear that the features do not hold strong handles (while retaining strong type information). Currently Handle::Weak still exists, but it is very possible that we can remove that entirely. * **Efficient / Dense Asset Ids**: Assets now have efficient dense runtime asset ids, which means we can avoid expensive hash lookups. Assets are stored in Vecs instead of HashMaps. There are now typed and untyped ids, which means we no longer need to store dynamic type information in the ID for typed handles. "AssetPathId" (which was a nightmare from a performance and correctness standpoint) has been entirely removed in favor of dense ids (which are retrieved for a path on load) * **Direct Asset Loading, with Dependency Tracking**: Assets that are defined at runtime can still have their dependencies tracked by the Asset Server (ex: if you create a material at runtime, you can still wait for its textures to load). This is accomplished via the (currently optional) "asset dependency visitor" trait. This system can also be used to define a set of assets to load, then wait for those assets to load. * **Async folder loading**: Folder loading also uses this system and immediately returns a handle to the LoadedFolder asset, which means folder loading no longer blocks on directory traversals. * **Improved Loader Interface**: Loaders now have a specific "top level asset type", which makes returning the top-level asset simpler and statically typed. * **Basic Image Settings and Processing**: Image assets can now be processed into the gpu-friendly Basic Universal format. The ImageLoader now has a setting to define what format the image should be loaded as. Note that this is just a minimal MVP ... plenty of additional work to do here. To demo this, enable the `basis-universal` feature and turn on asset processing. * **Simpler Audio Play / AudioSink API**: Asset handle providers are cloneable, which means the Audio resource can mint its own handles. This means you can now do `let sink_handle = audio.play(music)` instead of `let sink_handle = audio_sinks.get_handle(audio.play(music))`. Note that this might still be replaced by https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8424. **Removed Handle Casting From Engine Features**: Ex: FontAtlases no longer use casting between handle types ## Using The New Asset System ### Normal Unprocessed Asset Loading By default the `AssetPlugin` does not use processing. It behaves pretty much the same way as the old system. If you are defining a custom asset, first derive `Asset`: ```rust #[derive(Asset)] struct Thing { value: String, } ``` Initialize the asset: ```rust app.init_asset:<Thing>() ``` Implement a new `AssetLoader` for it: ```rust #[derive(Default)] struct ThingLoader; #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)] pub struct ThingSettings { some_setting: bool, } impl AssetLoader for ThingLoader { type Asset = Thing; type Settings = ThingSettings; fn load<'a>( &'a self, reader: &'a mut Reader, settings: &'a ThingSettings, load_context: &'a mut LoadContext, ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Thing, anyhow::Error>> { Box::pin(async move { let mut bytes = Vec::new(); reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?; // convert bytes to value somehow Ok(Thing { value }) }) } fn extensions(&self) -> &[&str] { &["thing"] } } ``` Note that this interface will get much cleaner once Rust gets support for async traits. `Reader` is an async futures_io::AsyncRead. You can stream bytes as they come in or read them all into a `Vec<u8>`, depending on the context. You can use `let handle = load_context.load(path)` to kick off a dependency load, retrieve a handle, and register the dependency for the asset. Then just register the loader in your Bevy app: ```rust app.init_asset_loader::<ThingLoader>() ``` Now just add your `Thing` asset files into the `assets` folder and load them like this: ```rust fn system(asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) { let handle = Handle<Thing> = asset_server.load("cool.thing"); } ``` You can check load states directly via the asset server: ```rust if asset_server.load_state(&handle) == LoadState::Loaded { } ``` You can also listen for events: ```rust fn system(mut events: EventReader<AssetEvent<Thing>>, handle: Res<SomeThingHandle>) { for event in events.iter() { if event.is_loaded_with_dependencies(&handle) { } } } ``` Note the new `AssetEvent::LoadedWithDependencies`, which only fires when the asset is loaded _and_ all dependencies (and their dependencies) have loaded. Unlike the old asset system, for a given asset path all `Handle<T>` values point to the same underlying Arc. This means Handles can cheaply hold more asset information, such as the AssetPath: ```rust // prints the AssetPath of the handle info!("{:?}", handle.path()) ``` ### Processed Assets Asset processing can be enabled via the `AssetPlugin`. When developing Bevy Apps with processed assets, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev())) ``` This runs the `AssetProcessor` in the background with hot-reloading. It reads assets from the `assets` folder, processes them, and writes them to the `.imported_assets` folder. Asset loads in the Bevy App will wait for a processed version of the asset to become available. If an asset in the `assets` folder changes, it will be reprocessed and hot-reloaded in the Bevy App. When deploying processed Bevy apps, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed())) ``` This does not run the `AssetProcessor` in the background. It behaves like `AssetPlugin::unprocessed()`, but reads assets from `.imported_assets`. When the `AssetProcessor` is running, it will populate sibling `.meta` files for assets in the `assets` folder. Meta files for assets that do not have a processor configured look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` This is metadata for an image asset. For example, if you have `assets/my_sprite.png`, this could be the metadata stored at `assets/my_sprite.png.meta`. Meta files are totally optional. If no metadata exists, the default settings will be used. In short, this file says "load this asset with the ImageLoader and use the file extension to determine the image type". This type of meta file is supported in all AssetPlugin modes. If in `Unprocessed` mode, the asset (with the meta settings) will be loaded directly. If in `ProcessedDev` mode, the asset file will be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder. The meta will also be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder, but with one addition: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 12415480888597742505, full_hash: 14344495437905856884, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` `processed_info` contains `hash` (a direct hash of the asset and meta bytes), `full_hash` (a hash of `hash` and the hashes of all `process_dependencies`), and `process_dependencies` (the `path` and `full_hash` of every process_dependency). A "process dependency" is an asset dependency that is _directly_ used when processing the asset. Images do not have process dependencies, so this is empty. When the processor is enabled, you can use the `Process` metadata config: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Process( processor: "bevy_asset::processor::process::LoadAndSave<bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader, bevy_render::texture::compressed_image_saver::CompressedImageSaver>", settings: ( loader_settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), saver_settings: ( generate_mipmaps: true, ), ), ), ) ``` This configures the asset to use the `LoadAndSave` processor, which runs an AssetLoader and feeds the result into an AssetSaver (which saves the given Asset and defines a loader to load it with). (for terseness LoadAndSave will likely get a shorter/friendlier type name when [Stable Type Paths](#7184) lands). `LoadAndSave` is likely to be the most common processor type, but arbitrary processors are supported. `CompressedImageSaver` saves an `Image` in the Basis Universal format and configures the ImageLoader to load it as basis universal. The `AssetProcessor` will read this meta, run it through the LoadAndSave processor, and write the basis-universal version of the image to `.imported_assets`. The final metadata will look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 905599590923828066, full_hash: 9948823010183819117, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: Format(Basis), ), ), ) ``` To try basis-universal processing out in Bevy examples, (for example `sprite.rs`), change `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)` to `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))` and run with the `basis-universal` feature enabled: `cargo run --features=basis-universal --example sprite`. To create a custom processor, there are two main paths: 1. Use the `LoadAndSave` processor with an existing `AssetLoader`. Implement the `AssetSaver` trait, register the processor using `asset_processor.register_processor::<LoadAndSave<ImageLoader, CompressedImageSaver>>(image_saver.into())`. 2. Implement the `Process` trait directly and register it using: `asset_processor.register_processor(thing_processor)`. You can configure default processors for file extensions like this: ```rust asset_processor.set_default_processor::<ThingProcessor>("thing") ``` There is one more metadata type to be aware of: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Ignore, ) ``` This will ignore the asset during processing / prevent it from being written to `.imported_assets`. The AssetProcessor stores a transaction log at `.imported_assets/log` and uses it to gracefully recover from unexpected stops. This means you can force-quit the processor (and Bevy Apps running the processor in parallel) at arbitrary times! `.imported_assets` is "local state". It should _not_ be checked into source control. It should also be considered "read only". In practice, you _can_ modify processed assets and processed metadata if you really need to test something. But those modifications will not be represented in the hashes of the assets, so the processed state will be "out of sync" with the source assets. The processor _will not_ fix this for you. Either revert the change after you have tested it, or delete the processed files so they can be re-populated. ## Open Questions There are a number of open questions to be discussed. We should decide if they need to be addressed in this PR and if so, how we will address them: ### Implied Dependencies vs Dependency Enumeration There are currently two ways to populate asset dependencies: * **Implied via AssetLoaders**: if an AssetLoader loads an asset (and retrieves a handle), a dependency is added to the list. * **Explicit via the optional Asset::visit_dependencies**: if `server.load_asset(my_asset)` is called, it will call `my_asset.visit_dependencies`, which will grab dependencies that have been manually defined for the asset via the Asset trait impl (which can be derived). This means that defining explicit dependencies is optional for "loaded assets". And the list of dependencies is always accurate because loaders can only produce Handles if they register dependencies. If an asset was loaded with an AssetLoader, it only uses the implied dependencies. If an asset was created at runtime and added with `asset_server.load_asset(MyAsset)`, it will use `Asset::visit_dependencies`. However this can create a behavior mismatch between loaded assets and equivalent "created at runtime" assets if `Assets::visit_dependencies` doesn't exactly match the dependencies produced by the AssetLoader. This behavior mismatch can be resolved by completely removing "implied loader dependencies" and requiring `Asset::visit_dependencies` to supply dependency data. But this creates two problems: * It makes defining loaded assets harder and more error prone: Devs must remember to manually annotate asset dependencies with `#[dependency]` when deriving `Asset`. For more complicated assets (such as scenes), the derive likely wouldn't be sufficient and a manual `visit_dependencies` impl would be required. * Removes the ability to immediately kick off dependency loads: When AssetLoaders retrieve a Handle, they also immediately kick off an asset load for the handle, which means it can start loading in parallel _before_ the asset finishes loading. For large assets, this could be significant. (although this could be mitigated for processed assets if we store dependencies in the processed meta file and load them ahead of time) ### Eager ProcessorDev Asset Loading I made a controversial call in the interest of fast startup times ("time to first pixel") for the "processor dev mode configuration". When initializing the AssetProcessor, current processed versions of unchanged assets are yielded immediately, even if their dependencies haven't been checked yet for reprocessing. This means that non-current-state-of-filesystem-but-previously-valid assets might be returned to the App first, then hot-reloaded if/when their dependencies change and the asset is reprocessed. Is this behavior desirable? There is largely one alternative: do not yield an asset from the processor to the app until all of its dependencies have been checked for changes. In some common cases (load dependency has not changed since last run) this will increase startup time. The main question is "by how much" and is that slower startup time worth it in the interest of only yielding assets that are true to the current state of the filesystem. Should this be configurable? I'm starting to think we should only yield an asset after its (historical) dependencies have been checked for changes + processed as necessary, but I'm curious what you all think. ### Paths Are Currently The Only Canonical ID / Do We Want Asset UUIDs? In this implementation AssetPaths are the only canonical asset identifier (just like the previous Bevy Asset system and Godot). Moving assets will result in re-scans (and currently reprocessing, although reprocessing can easily be avoided with some changes). Asset renames/moves will break code and assets that rely on specific paths, unless those paths are fixed up. Do we want / need "stable asset uuids"? Introducing them is very possible: 1. Generate a UUID and include it in .meta files 2. Support UUID in AssetPath 3. Generate "asset indices" which are loaded on startup and map UUIDs to paths. 4 (maybe). Consider only supporting UUIDs for processed assets so we can generate quick-to-load indices instead of scanning meta files. The main "pro" is that assets referencing UUIDs don't need to be migrated when a path changes. The main "con" is that UUIDs cannot be "lazily resolved" like paths. They need a full view of all assets to answer the question "does this UUID exist". Which means UUIDs require the AssetProcessor to fully finish startup scans before saying an asset doesnt exist. And they essentially require asset pre-processing to use in apps, because scanning all asset metadata files at runtime to resolve a UUID is not viable for medium-to-large apps. It really requires a pre-generated UUID index, which must be loaded before querying for assets. I personally think this should be investigated in a separate PR. Paths aren't going anywhere ... _everyone_ uses filesystems (and filesystem-like apis) to manage their asset source files. I consider them permanent canonical asset information. Additionally, they behave well for both processed and unprocessed asset modes. Given that Bevy is supporting both, this feels like the right canonical ID to start with. UUIDS (and maybe even other indexed-identifier types) can be added later as necessary. ### Folder / File Naming Conventions All asset processing config currently lives in the `.imported_assets` folder. The processor transaction log is in `.imported_assets/log`. Processed assets are added to `.imported_assets/Default`, which will make migrating to processed asset profiles (ex: a `.imported_assets/Mobile` profile) a non-breaking change. It also allows us to create top-level files like `.imported_assets/log` without it being interpreted as an asset. Meta files currently have a `.meta` suffix. Do we like these names and conventions? ### Should the `AssetPlugin::processed_dev` configuration enable `watch_for_changes` automatically? Currently it does (which I think makes sense), but it does make it the only configuration that enables watch_for_changes by default. ### Discuss on_loaded High Level Interface: This PR includes a very rough "proof of concept" `on_loaded` system adapter that uses the `LoadedWithDependencies` event in combination with `asset_server.load_asset` dependency tracking to support this pattern ```rust fn main() { App::new() .init_asset::<MyAssets>() .add_systems(Update, on_loaded(create_array_texture)) .run(); } #[derive(Asset, Clone)] struct MyAssets { #[dependency] picture_of_my_cat: Handle<Image>, #[dependency] picture_of_my_other_cat: Handle<Image>, } impl FromWorld for ArrayTexture { fn from_world(world: &mut World) -> Self { picture_of_my_cat: server.load("meow.png"), picture_of_my_other_cat: server.load("meeeeeeeow.png"), } } fn spawn_cat(In(my_assets): In<MyAssets>, mut commands: Commands) { commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_cat.clone(), ..default() }); commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_other_cat.clone(), ..default() }); } ``` The implementation is _very_ rough. And it is currently unsafe because `bevy_ecs` doesn't expose some internals to do this safely from inside `bevy_asset`. There are plenty of unanswered questions like: * "do we add a Loadable" derive? (effectively automate the FromWorld implementation above) * Should `MyAssets` even be an Asset? (largely implemented this way because it elegantly builds on `server.load_asset(MyAsset { .. })` dependency tracking). We should think hard about what our ideal API looks like (and if this is a pattern we want to support). Not necessarily something we need to solve in this PR. The current `on_loaded` impl should probably be removed from this PR before merging. ## Clarifying Questions ### What about Assets as Entities? This Bevy Asset V2 proposal implementation initially stored Assets as ECS Entities. Instead of `AssetId<T>` + the `Assets<T>` resource it used `Entity` as the asset id and Asset values were just ECS components. There are plenty of compelling reasons to do this: 1. Easier to inline assets in Bevy Scenes (as they are "just" normal entities + components) 2. More flexible queries: use the power of the ECS to filter assets (ex: `Query<Mesh, With<Tree>>`). 3. Extensible. Users can add arbitrary component data to assets. 4. Things like "component visualization tools" work out of the box to visualize asset data. However Assets as Entities has a ton of caveats right now: * We need to be able to allocate entity ids without a direct World reference (aka rework id allocator in Entities ... i worked around this in my prototypes by just pre allocating big chunks of entities) * We want asset change events in addition to ECS change tracking ... how do we populate them when mutations can come from anywhere? Do we use Changed queries? This would require iterating over the change data for all assets every frame. Is this acceptable or should we implement a new "event based" component change detection option? * Reconciling manually created assets with asset-system managed assets has some nuance (ex: are they "loaded" / do they also have that component metadata?) * "how do we handle "static" / default entity handles" (ties in to the Entity Indices discussion: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8319). This is necessary for things like "built in" assets and default handles in things like SpriteBundle. * Storing asset information as a component makes it easy to "invalidate" asset state by removing the component (or forcing modifications). Ideally we have ways to lock this down (some combination of Rust type privacy and ECS validation) In practice, how we store and identify assets is a reasonably superficial change (porting off of Assets as Entities and implementing dedicated storage + ids took less than a day). So once we sort out the remaining challenges the flip should be straightforward. Additionally, I do still have "Assets as Entities" in my commit history, so we can reuse that work. I personally think "assets as entities" is a good endgame, but it also doesn't provide _significant_ value at the moment and it certainly isn't ready yet with the current state of things. ### Why not Distill? [Distill](https://github.com/amethyst/distill) is a high quality fully featured asset system built in Rust. It is very natural to ask "why not just use Distill?". It is also worth calling out that for awhile, [we planned on adopting Distill / I signed off on it](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/708). However I think Bevy has a number of constraints that make Distill adoption suboptimal: * **Architectural Simplicity:** * Distill's processor requires an in-memory database (lmdb) and RPC networked API (using Cap'n Proto). Each of these introduces API complexity that increases maintenance burden and "code grokability". Ignoring tests, documentation, and examples, Distill has 24,237 lines of Rust code (including generated code for RPC + database interactions). If you ignore generated code, it has 11,499 lines. * Bevy builds the AssetProcessor and AssetServer using pluggable AssetReader/AssetWriter Rust traits with simple io interfaces. They do not necessitate databases or RPC interfaces (although Readers/Writers could use them if that is desired). Bevy Asset V2 (at the time of writing this PR) is 5,384 lines of Rust code (ignoring tests, documentation, and examples). Grain of salt: Distill does have more features currently (ex: Asset Packing, GUIDS, remote-out-of-process asset processor). I do plan to implement these features in Bevy Asset V2 and I personally highly doubt they will meaningfully close the 6115 lines-of-code gap. * This complexity gap (which while illustrated by lines of code, is much bigger than just that) is noteworthy to me. Bevy should be hackable and there are pillars of Distill that are very hard to understand and extend. This is a matter of opinion (and Bevy Asset V2 also has complicated areas), but I think Bevy Asset V2 is much more approachable for the average developer. * Necessary disclaimer: counting lines of code is an extremely rough complexity metric. Read the code and form your own opinions. * **Optional Asset Processing:** Not all Bevy Apps (or Bevy App developers) need / want asset preprocessing. Processing increases the complexity of the development environment by introducing things like meta files, imported asset storage, running processors in the background, waiting for processing to finish, etc. Distill _requires_ preprocessing to work. With Bevy Asset V2 processing is fully opt-in. The AssetServer isn't directly aware of asset processors at all. AssetLoaders only care about converting bytes to runtime Assets ... they don't know or care if the bytes were pre-processed or not. Processing is "elegantly" (forgive my self-congratulatory phrasing) layered on top and builds on the existing Asset system primitives. * **Direct Filesystem Access to Processed Asset State:** Distill stores processed assets in a database. This makes debugging / inspecting the processed outputs harder (either requires special tooling to query the database or they need to be "deployed" to be inspected). Bevy Asset V2, on the other hand, stores processed assets in the filesystem (by default ... this is configurable). This makes interacting with the processed state more natural. Note that both Godot and Unity's new asset system store processed assets in the filesystem. * **Portability**: Because Distill's processor uses lmdb and RPC networking, it cannot be run on certain platforms (ex: lmdb is a non-rust dependency that cannot run on the web, some platforms don't support running network servers). Bevy should be able to process assets everywhere (ex: run the Bevy Editor on the web, compile + process shaders on mobile, etc). Distill does partially mitigate this problem by supporting "streaming" assets via the RPC protocol, but this is not a full solve from my perspective. And Bevy Asset V2 can (in theory) also stream assets (without requiring RPC, although this isn't implemented yet) Note that I _do_ still think Distill would be a solid asset system for Bevy. But I think the approach in this PR is a better solve for Bevy's specific "asset system requirements". ### Doesn't async-fs just shim requests to "sync" `std::fs`? What is the point? "True async file io" has limited / spotty platform support. async-fs (and the rust async ecosystem generally ... ex Tokio) currently use async wrappers over std::fs that offload blocking requests to separate threads. This may feel unsatisfying, but it _does_ still provide value because it prevents our task pools from blocking on file system operations (which would prevent progress when there are many tasks to do, but all threads in a pool are currently blocking on file system ops). Additionally, using async APIs for our AssetReaders and AssetWriters also provides value because we can later add support for "true async file io" for platforms that support it. _And_ we can implement other "true async io" asset backends (such as networked asset io). ## Draft TODO - [x] Fill in missing filesystem event APIs: file removed event (which is expressed as dangling RenameFrom events in some cases), file/folder renamed event - [x] Assets without loaders are not moved to the processed folder. This breaks things like referenced `.bin` files for GLTFs. This should be configurable per-non-asset-type. - [x] Initial implementation of Reflect and FromReflect for Handle. The "deserialization" parity bar is low here as this only worked with static UUIDs in the old impl ... this is a non-trivial problem. Either we add a Handle::AssetPath variant that gets "upgraded" to a strong handle on scene load or we use a separate AssetRef type for Bevy scenes (which is converted to a runtime Handle on load). This deserves its own discussion in a different pr. - [x] Populate read_asset_bytes hash when run by the processor (a bit of a special case .. when run by the processor the processed meta will contain the hash so we don't need to compute it on the spot, but we don't want/need to read the meta when run by the main AssetServer) - [x] Delay hot reloading: currently filesystem events are handled immediately, which creates timing issues in some cases. For example hot reloading images can sometimes break because the image isn't finished writing. We should add a delay, likely similar to the [implementation in this PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8503). - [x] Port old platform-specific AssetIo implementations to the new AssetReader interface (currently missing Android and web) - [x] Resolve on_loaded unsafety (either by removing the API entirely or removing the unsafe) - [x] Runtime loader setting overrides - [x] Remove remaining unwraps that should be error-handled. There are number of TODOs here - [x] Pretty AssetPath Display impl - [x] Document more APIs - [x] Resolve spurious "reloading because it has changed" events (to repro run load_gltf with `processed_dev()`) - [x] load_dependency hot reloading currently only works for processed assets. If processing is disabled, load_dependency changes are not hot reloaded. - [x] Replace AssetInfo dependency load/fail counters with `loading_dependencies: HashSet<UntypedAssetId>` to prevent reloads from (potentially) breaking counters. Storing this will also enable "dependency reloaded" events (see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [x] Re-add filesystem watcher cargo feature gate (currently it is not optional) - [ ] Migration Guide - [ ] Changelog ## Followup TODO - [ ] Replace "eager unchanged processed asset loading" behavior with "don't returned unchanged processed asset until dependencies have been checked". - [ ] Add true `Ignore` AssetAction that does not copy the asset to the imported_assets folder. - [ ] Finish "live asset unloading" (ex: free up CPU asset memory after uploading an image to the GPU), rethink RenderAssets, and port renderer features. The `Assets` collection uses `Option<T>` for asset storage to support its removal. (1) the Option might not actually be necessary ... might be able to just remove from the collection entirely (2) need to finalize removal apis - [ ] Try replacing the "channel based" asset id recycling with something a bit more efficient (ex: we might be able to use raw atomic ints with some cleverness) - [ ] Consider adding UUIDs to processed assets (scoped just to helping identify moved assets ... not exposed to load queries ... see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [ ] Store "last modified" source asset and meta timestamps in processed meta files to enable skipping expensive hashing when the file wasn't changed - [ ] Fix "slow loop" handle drop fix - [ ] Migrate to TypeName - [x] Handle "loader preregistration". See #9429 ## Next Steps * **Configurable per-type defaults for AssetMeta**: It should be possible to add configuration like "all png image meta should default to using nearest sampling" (currently this hard-coded per-loader/processor Settings::default() impls). Also see the "Folder Meta" bullet point. * **Avoid Reprocessing on Asset Renames / Moves**: See the "canonical asset ids" discussion in [Open Questions](#open-questions) and the relevant bullet point in [Draft TODO](#draft-todo). Even without canonical ids, folder renames could avoid reprocessing in some cases. * **Multiple Asset Sources**: Expand AssetPath to support "asset source names" and support multiple AssetReaders in the asset server (ex: `webserver://some_path/image.png` backed by an Http webserver AssetReader). The "default" asset reader would use normal `some_path/image.png` paths. Ideally this works in combination with multiple AssetWatchers for hot-reloading * **Stable Type Names**: this pr removes the TypeUuid requirement from assets in favor of `std::any::type_name`. This makes defining assets easier (no need to generate a new uuid / use weird proc macro syntax). It also makes reading meta files easier (because things have "friendly names"). We also use type names for components in scene files. If they are good enough for components, they are good enough for assets. And consistency across Bevy pillars is desirable. However, `std::any::type_name` is not guaranteed to be stable (although in practice it is). We've developed a [stable type path](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7184) to resolve this, which should be adopted when it is ready. * **Command Line Interface**: It should be possible to run the asset processor in a separate process from the command line. This will also require building a network-server-backed AssetReader to communicate between the app and the processor. We've been planning to build a "bevy cli" for awhile. This seems like a good excuse to build it. * **Asset Packing**: This is largely an additive feature, so it made sense to me to punt this until we've laid the foundations in this PR. * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: It should be possible to generate assets for multiple platforms by supporting multiple "processor profiles" per asset (ex: compress with format X on PC and Y on iOS). I think there should probably be arbitrary "profiles" (which can be separate from actual platforms), which are then assigned to a given platform when generating the final asset distribution for that platform. Ex: maybe devs want a "Mobile" profile that is shared between iOS and Android. Or a "LowEnd" profile shared between web and mobile. * **Versioning and Migrations**: Assets, Loaders, Savers, and Processors need to have versions to determine if their schema is valid. If an asset / loader version is incompatible with the current version expected at runtime, the processor should be able to migrate them. I think we should try using Bevy Reflect for this, as it would allow us to load the old version as a dynamic Reflect type without actually having the old Rust type. It would also allow us to define "patches" to migrate between versions (Bevy Reflect devs are currently working on patching). The `.meta` file already has its own format version. Migrating that to new versions should also be possible. * **Real Copy-on-write AssetPaths**: Rust's actual Cow (clone-on-write type) currently used by AssetPath can still result in String clones that aren't actually necessary (cloning an Owned Cow clones the contents). Bevy's asset system requires cloning AssetPaths in a number of places, which result in actual clones of the internal Strings. This is not efficient. AssetPath internals should be reworked to exhibit truer cow-like-behavior that reduces String clones to the absolute minimum. * **Consider processor-less processing**: In theory the AssetServer could run processors "inline" even if the background AssetProcessor is disabled. If we decide this is actually desirable, we could add this. But I don't think its a priority in the short or medium term. * **Pre-emptive dependency loading**: We could encode dependencies in processed meta files, which could then be used by the Asset Server to kick of dependency loads as early as possible (prior to starting the actual asset load). Is this desirable? How much time would this save in practice? * **Optimize Processor With UntypedAssetIds**: The processor exclusively uses AssetPath to identify assets currently. It might be possible to swap these out for UntypedAssetIds in some places, which are smaller / cheaper to hash and compare. * **One to Many Asset Processing**: An asset source file that produces many assets currently must be processed into a single "processed" asset source. If labeled assets can be written separately they can each have their own configured savers _and_ they could be loaded more granularly. Definitely worth exploring! * **Automatically Track "Runtime-only" Asset Dependencies**: Right now, tracking "created at runtime" asset dependencies requires adding them via `asset_server.load_asset(StandardMaterial::default())`. I think with some cleverness we could also do this for `materials.add(StandardMaterial::default())`, making tracking work "everywhere". There are challenges here relating to change detection / ensuring the server is made aware of dependency changes. This could be expensive in some cases. * **"Dependency Changed" events**: Some assets have runtime artifacts that need to be re-generated when one of their dependencies change (ex: regenerate a material's bind group when a Texture needs to change). We are generating the dependency graph so we can definitely produce these events. Buuuuut generating these events will have a cost / they could be high frequency for some assets, so we might want this to be opt-in for specific cases. * **Investigate Storing More Information In Handles**: Handles can now store arbitrary information, which makes it cheaper and easier to access. How much should we move into them? Canonical asset load states (via atomics)? (`handle.is_loaded()` would be very cool). Should we store the entire asset and remove the `Assets<T>` collection? (`Arc<RwLock<Option<Image>>>`?) * **Support processing and loading files without extensions**: This is a pretty arbitrary restriction and could be supported with very minimal changes. * **Folder Meta**: It would be nice if we could define per folder processor configuration defaults (likely in a `.meta` or `.folder_meta` file). Things like "default to linear filtering for all Images in this folder". * **Replace async_broadcast with event-listener?** This might be approximately drop-in for some uses and it feels more light weight * **Support Running the AssetProcessor on the Web**: Most of the hard work is done here, but there are some easy straggling TODOs (make the transaction log an interface instead of a direct file writer so we can write a web storage backend, implement an AssetReader/AssetWriter that reads/writes to something like LocalStorage). * **Consider identifying and preventing circular dependencies**: This is especially important for "processor dependencies", as processing will silently never finish in these cases. * **Built-in/Inlined Asset Hot Reloading**: This PR regresses "built-in/inlined" asset hot reloading (previously provided by the DebugAssetServer). I'm intentionally punting this because I think it can be cleanly implemented with "multiple asset sources" by registering a "debug asset source" (ex: `debug://bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr.wgsl` asset paths) in combination with an AssetWatcher for that asset source and support for "manually loading pats with asset bytes instead of AssetReaders". The old DebugAssetServer was quite nasty and I'd love to avoid that hackery going forward. * **Investigate ways to remove double-parsing meta files**: Parsing meta files currently involves parsing once with "minimal" versions of the meta file to extract the type name of the loader/processor config, then parsing again to parse the "full" meta. This is suboptimal. We should be able to define custom deserializers that (1) assume the loader/processor type name comes first (2) dynamically looks up the loader/processor registrations to deserialize settings in-line (similar to components in the bevy scene format). Another alternative: deserialize as dynamic Reflect objects and then convert. * **More runtime loading configuration**: Support using the Handle type as a hint to select an asset loader (instead of relying on AssetPath extensions) * **More high level Processor trait implementations**: For example, it might be worth adding support for arbitrary chains of "asset transforms" that modify an in-memory asset representation between loading and saving. (ex: load a Mesh, run a `subdivide_mesh` transform, followed by a `flip_normals` transform, then save the mesh to an efficient compressed format). * **Bevy Scene Handle Deserialization**: (see the relevant [Draft TODO item](#draft-todo) for context) * **Explore High Level Load Interfaces**: See [this discussion](#discuss-on_loaded-high-level-interface) for one prototype. * **Asset Streaming**: It would be great if we could stream Assets (ex: stream a long video file piece by piece) * **ID Exchanging**: In this PR Asset Handles/AssetIds are bigger than they need to be because they have a Uuid enum variant. If we implement an "id exchanging" system that trades Uuids for "efficient runtime ids", we can cut down on the size of AssetIds, making them more efficient. This has some open design questions, such as how to spawn entities with "default" handle values (as these wouldn't have access to the exchange api in the current system). * **Asset Path Fixup Tooling**: Assets that inline asset paths inside them will break when an asset moves. The asset system provides the functionality to detect when paths break. We should build a framework that enables formats to define "path migrations". This is especially important for scene files. For editor-generated files, we should also consider using UUIDs (see other bullet point) to avoid the need to migrate in these cases. --------- Co-authored-by: BeastLe9enD <beastle9end@outlook.de> Co-authored-by: Mike <mike.hsu@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com> |

Split ComputedVisibility into two components to allow for accurate change detection and speed up visibility propagation (#9497)
# Objective Fix #8267. Fixes half of #7840. The `ComputedVisibility` component contains two flags: hierarchy visibility, and view visibility (whether its visible to any cameras). Due to the modular and open-ended way that view visibility is computed, it triggers change detection every single frame, even when the value does not change. Since hierarchy visibility is stored in the same component as view visibility, this means that change detection for inherited visibility is completely broken. At the company I work for, this has become a real issue. We are using change detection to only re-render scenes when necessary. The broken state of change detection for computed visibility means that we have to to rely on the non-inherited `Visibility` component for now. This is workable in the early stages of our project, but since we will inevitably want to use the hierarchy, we will have to either: 1. Roll our own solution for computed visibility. 2. Fix the issue for everyone. ## Solution Split the `ComputedVisibility` component into two: `InheritedVisibilty` and `ViewVisibility`. This allows change detection to behave properly for `InheritedVisibility`. View visiblity is still erratic, although it is less useful to be able to detect changes for this flavor of visibility. Overall, this actually simplifies the API. Since the visibility system consists of self-explaining components, it is much easier to document the behavior and usage. This approach is more modular and "ECS-like" -- one could strip out the `ViewVisibility` component entirely if it's not needed, and rely only on inherited visibility. --- ## Changelog - `ComputedVisibility` has been removed in favor of: `InheritedVisibility` and `ViewVisiblity`. ## Migration Guide The `ComputedVisibilty` component has been split into `InheritedVisiblity` and `ViewVisibility`. Replace any usages of `ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_hierarchy` with `InheritedVisibility::get`, and replace `ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_view` with `ViewVisibility::get`. ```rust // Before: commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle { visibility: Visibility::Inherited, computed_visibility: ComputedVisibility::default(), }); // After: commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle { visibility: Visibility::Inherited, inherited_visibility: InheritedVisibility::default(), view_visibility: ViewVisibility::default(), }); ``` ```rust // Before: fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) { for vis in &q { if vis.is_visible_in_hierarchy() { // After: fn my_system(q: Query<&InheritedVisibility>) { for inherited_visibility in &q { if inherited_visibility.get() { ``` ```rust // Before: fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) { for vis in &q { if vis.is_visible_in_view() { // After: fn my_system(q: Query<&ViewVisibility>) { for view_visibility in &q { if view_visibility.get() { ``` ```rust // Before: fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ComputedVisibilty>) { for vis in &mut q { vis.set_visible_in_view(); // After: fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ViewVisibility>) { for view_visibility in &mut q { view_visibility.set(); ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Robert Swain <robert.swain@gmail.com> |

Reorder render sets, refactor bevy_sprite to take advantage (#9236)
This is a continuation of this PR: #8062 # Objective - Reorder render schedule sets to allow data preparation when phase item order is known to support improved batching - Part of the batching/instancing etc plan from here: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/89#issuecomment-1379249074 - The original idea came from @inodentry and proved to be a good one. Thanks! - Refactor `bevy_sprite` and `bevy_ui` to take advantage of the new ordering ## Solution - Move `Prepare` and `PrepareFlush` after `PhaseSortFlush` - Add a `PrepareAssets` set that runs in parallel with other systems and sets in the render schedule. - Put prepare_assets systems in the `PrepareAssets` set - If explicit dependencies are needed on Mesh or Material RenderAssets then depend on the appropriate system. - Add `ManageViews` and `ManageViewsFlush` sets between `ExtractCommands` and Queue - Move `queue_mesh*_bind_group` to the Prepare stage - Rename them to `prepare_` - Put systems that prepare resources (buffers, textures, etc.) into a `PrepareResources` set inside `Prepare` - Put the `prepare_..._bind_group` systems into a `PrepareBindGroup` set after `PrepareResources` - Move `prepare_lights` to the `ManageViews` set - `prepare_lights` creates views and this must happen before `Queue` - This system needs refactoring to stop handling all responsibilities - Gather lights, sort, and create shadow map views. Store sorted light entities in a resource - Remove `BatchedPhaseItem` - Replace `batch_range` with `batch_size` representing how many items to skip after rendering the item or to skip the item entirely if `batch_size` is 0. - `queue_sprites` has been split into `queue_sprites` for queueing phase items and `prepare_sprites` for batching after the `PhaseSort` - `PhaseItem`s are still inserted in `queue_sprites` - After sorting adjacent compatible sprite phase items are accumulated into `SpriteBatch` components on the first entity of each batch, containing a range of vertex indices. The associated `PhaseItem`'s `batch_size` is updated appropriately. - `SpriteBatch` items are then drawn skipping over the other items in the batch based on the value in `batch_size` - A very similar refactor was performed on `bevy_ui` --- ## Changelog Changed: - Reordered and reworked render app schedule sets. The main change is that data is extracted, queued, sorted, and then prepared when the order of data is known. - Refactor `bevy_sprite` and `bevy_ui` to take advantage of the reordering. ## Migration Guide - Assets such as materials and meshes should now be created in `PrepareAssets` e.g. `prepare_assets<Mesh>` - Queueing entities to `RenderPhase`s continues to be done in `Queue` e.g. `queue_sprites` - Preparing resources (textures, buffers, etc.) should now be done in `PrepareResources`, e.g. `prepare_prepass_textures`, `prepare_mesh_uniforms` - Prepare bind groups should now be done in `PrepareBindGroups` e.g. `prepare_mesh_bind_group` - Any batching or instancing can now be done in `Prepare` where the order of the phase items is known e.g. `prepare_sprites` ## Next Steps - Introduce some generic mechanism to ensure items that can be batched are grouped in the phase item order, currently you could easily have `[sprite at z 0, mesh at z 0, sprite at z 0]` preventing batching. - Investigate improved orderings for building the MeshUniform buffer - Implementing batching across the rest of bevy --------- Co-authored-by: Robert Swain <robert.swain@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: robtfm <50659922+robtfm@users.noreply.github.com> |
