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

What is Bevy?
Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
WARNING
Bevy is still in the early stages of development. Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. A new version of Bevy containing breaking changes to the API is released approximately once every 3 months. We provide migration guides, but we can't guarantee migrations will always be easy. Use only if you are willing to work in this environment.
MSRV: Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is generally close to "the latest stable release" of Rust.
Design Goals
- Capable: Offer a complete 2D and 3D feature set
- Simple: Easy for newbies to pick up, but infinitely flexible for power users
- Data Focused: Data-oriented architecture using the Entity Component System paradigm
- Modular: Use only what you need. Replace what you don't like
- Fast: App logic should run quickly, and when possible, in parallel
- Productive: Changes should compile quickly ... waiting isn't fun

Contributing
If you'd like to help build Bevy, check out the Contributor's Guide. For simple problems, feel free to open an issue or PR and tackle it yourself!
For more complex architecture decisions and experimental mad science, please open an RFC (Request For Comments) so we can brainstorm together effectively!
Getting Started
We recommend checking out the Quick Start Guide for a brief introduction.
Follow the Setup guide to ensure your development environment is set up correctly. Once set up, you can quickly try out the examples by cloning this repo and running the following commands:
# Switch to the correct version (latest release, default is main development branch)
git checkout latest
# Runs the "breakout" example
cargo run --example breakout
To draw a window with standard functionality enabled, use:
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main(){
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.run();
}
Fast Compiles
Bevy can be built just fine using default configuration on stable Rust. However for really fast iterative compiles, you should enable the "fast compiles" setup by following the instructions here.
Bevy Cargo Features
This list outlines the different cargo features supported by Bevy. These allow you to customize the Bevy feature set for your use-case.
Thanks
Bevy is the result of the hard work of many people. A huge thanks to all Bevy contributors, the many open source projects that have come before us, the Rust gamedev ecosystem, and the many libraries we build on.
A huge thanks to Bevy's generous sponsors. Bevy will always be free and open source, but it isn't free to make. Please consider sponsoring our work if you like what we're building.
This project is tested with BrowserStack.
License
Bevy is free, open source and permissively licensed! Except where noted (below and/or in individual files), all code in this repository is dual-licensed under either:
- MIT License (LICENSE-MIT or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
- Apache License, Version 2.0 (LICENSE-APACHE or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
at your option. This means you can select the license you prefer! This dual-licensing approach is the de-facto standard in the Rust ecosystem and there are very good reasons to include both.
Some of the engine's code carries additional copyright notices and license terms due to their external origins.
These are generally BSD-like, but exact details vary by crate:
If the README of a crate contains a 'License' header (or similar), the additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to that crate will be listed.
The above licensing requirement still applies to contributions to those crates, and sections of those crates will carry those license terms.
The license field of each crate will also reflect this.
For example, bevy_mikktspace has code under the Zlib license (as well as a copyright notice when choosing the MIT license).
The assets included in this repository (for our examples) typically fall under different open licenses. These will not be included in your game (unless copied in by you), and they are not distributed in the published bevy crates. See CREDITS.md for the details of the licenses of those files.
Your contributions
Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
