# Objective
*Step towards https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/19686*
We now have all the infrastructure in place to migrate Bevy's default
behavior when loading glTF files to respect their coordinate system.
Let's start migrating! For motivation, see the issue linked above
## Solution
- Introduce a feature flag called `gltf_convert_coordinates_default`
- Currently,`GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates` defaults to `false`
- If `gltf_convert_coordinates_default` is enabled,
`GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates` will default to `true`
- If `gltf_convert_coordinates_default` is not enabled *and*
`GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates` is false, we assume the user is
implicitly using the old behavior. Print a warning *once* in that case,
but only when a glTF was actually loaded
- A user can opt into the new behavior either
- Globally, by enabling `gltf_convert_coordinates_default` in their
`Cargo.toml`
- Globally, by enabling `GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates`
- Per asset, by enabling `GltfLoaderSettings::convert_coordinates`
- A user can explicitly opt out of the new behavior and silence the
warning by
- Enabling `gltf_convert_coordinates_default` in their `Cargo.toml` and
disabling `GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates`
- This PR also moves the existing release note into a migration guide
Note that I'm very open to change any features, mechanisms, warning
texts, etc. as needed :)
## Future Work
- This PR leaves all examples fully functional by not enabling this flag
internally yet. A followup PR will enable it as a `dev-dependency` and
migrate all of our examples involving glTFs to the new behavior.
- After 0.17 (and the RC before) lands, we'll gather feedback to see if
anything breaks or the suggested migration is inconvenient in some way
- If all goes well, we'll kill this flag and change the default of
`GltfPlugin::convert_coordinates` to `true` in 0.18
## Testing
- Ran examples with and without the flag

# Objective
- Followup to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/19633
- As discussed, it's a bit cumbersome to specify that you want the
correct orientation every single time
- Also, glTFs loaded from third parties will still be loaded incorrectly
## Solution
- Allow opting into the new behavior globally or per-asset
- Also improved some docs while on it :)
## Testing
- Ran the animation examples
- Ran the test scene from the last PR with all configuration
combinations
# Objective
*Fixes #5670 as an opt-in for now*
glTF uses the following coordinate system:
- forward: Z
- up: Y
- right: -X
and Bevy uses:
- forward: -Z
- up: Y
- right: X
For the longest time, Bevy has simply ignored this distinction. That
caused issues when working across programs, as most software respects
the
glTF coordinate system when importing and exporting glTFs. Your scene
might have looked correct in Blender, Maya, TrenchBroom, etc. but
everything would be flipped when importing it into Bevy!
## Solution
Add an option to the glTF loader to perform coordinate conversion. Note
that this makes a distinction in the camera nodes, as glTF uses a
different coordinate system for them.
## Follow Ups
- Add global glTF loader settings, similar to the image loader, so that
users can make third-party crates also load their glTFs with corrected
coordinates
- Decide on a migration strategy to make this the future default
- Create an issue
- Get feedback from Patrick Walton and Cart (not pinging them here to
not spam them)
- Include this pic for reference of how Blender assumes -Y as forward:
## Testing
I ran all glTF animation examples with the new setting enabled to
validate that they look the same, just flipped.
Also got a nice test scene from Chris that includes a camera inside the
glTF. Thanks @ChristopherBiscardi!

Bevy (-Z forward, but the model looks the wrong way):

# Objective
- `LoadContext::labeled_asset_scope` cannot return errors back to the
asset loader. This means users that need errors need to fall back to
using the raw `begin_labeled_asset` and `add_loaded_labeled_asset`,
which is more error-prone.
## Solution
- Allow returning a (generic) error from `labeled_asset_scope`.
- This has the unfortunate side effect that closures which don't return
any errors need to A) return Ok at the end, B) need to specify an error
type (e.g., `()`).
---
## Showcase
```rust
// impl AssetLoader for MyLoader
let handle = load_context.labeled_asset_scope("MySubasset", |mut load_context| {
if !some_precondition {
return Err(ThingsDontMakeSenseError);
}
let handle = load_context.add_labeled_asset("MySubasset/Other", SomeOtherThing(456));
Ok(Something{ id: 123, handle })
})?;
```
## Objective
Fix#19114.
## Solution
#17875 changed the glTF importer to make sure that sampler filters are
linear when anisotropic filtering is enabled - this is required by
`wgpu`. But the condition was mistakenly inverted, so it forces the
filtering to linear when anisotropic filtering is _not_ enabled.
## Testing
```
cargo run --example color_grading
cargo run --example testbed_3d
```
Stores mesh names from glTF files in GltfMeshName component rather than
Name component, making both GltfMeshName and GltfMaterialName behave
like strings via Deref.
# Objective
Fixed the side effects of #19287
Fixes Examples that modify gltf materials are broken #19322
## Solution
Add GltfMeshName component and Deref implementations
Stores mesh names from glTF files in GltfMeshName component rather than
Name component, making both GltfMeshName and GltfMaterialName behave
like strings via Deref.
## Testing
cargo run --example depth_of_field
cargo run --example lightmaps
cargo run --example mixed_lighting
They are consistent with the situation before the error occurred.

I can't underrate anisotropic filtering.
# Objective
- Allow easily enabling anisotropic filtering on glTF assets.
- Allow selecting `ImageFilterMode` for glTF assets at runtime.
## Solution
- Added a Resource `DefaultGltfImageSampler`: it stores
`Arc<Mutex<ImageSamplerDescriptor>>` and the same `Arc` is stored in
`GltfLoader`. The default is independent from provided to `ImagePlugin`
and is set in the same way but with `GltfPlugin`. It can then be
modified at runtime with `DefaultGltfImageSampler::set`.
- Added two fields to `GltfLoaderSettings`: `default_sampler:
Option<ImageSamplerDescriptor>` to override aforementioned global
default descriptor and `override_sampler: bool` to ignore glTF sampler
data.
## Showcase
Enabling anisotropic filtering as easy as:
```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(GltfPlugin{
default_sampler: ImageSamplerDescriptor {
min_filter: ImageFilterMode::Linear,
mag_filter: ImageFilterMode::Linear,
mipmap_filter: ImageFilterMode::Linear,
anisotropy_clamp: 16,
..default()
},
..default()
}))
```
Use code below to ignore both the global default sampler and glTF data,
having `your_shiny_sampler` used directly for all textures instead:
```rust
commands.spawn(SceneRoot(asset_server.load_with_settings(
GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("models/test-scene.gltf"),
|settings: &mut GltfLoaderSettings| {
settings.default_sampler = Some(your_shiny_sampler);
settings.override_sampler = true;
}
)));
```
Remove either setting to get different result! They don't come in pair!

Scene rendered with 16x anisotropic texture filtering:
## Migration Guide
- The new fields in `GltfLoaderSettings` have their default values
replicate previous behavior.

# Objective
The goal of `bevy_platform_support` is to provide a set of platform
agnostic APIs, alongside platform-specific functionality. This is a high
traffic crate (providing things like HashMap and Instant). Especially in
light of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/18799, it
deserves a friendlier / shorter name.
Given that it hasn't had a full release yet, getting this change in
before Bevy 0.16 makes sense.
## Solution
- Rename `bevy_platform_support` to `bevy_platform`.
# Objective
Unlike for their helper typers, the import paths for
`unique_array::UniqueEntityArray`, `unique_slice::UniqueEntitySlice`,
`unique_vec::UniqueEntityVec`, `hash_set::EntityHashSet`,
`hash_map::EntityHashMap`, `index_set::EntityIndexSet`,
`index_map::EntityIndexMap` are quite redundant.
When looking at the structure of `hashbrown`, we can also see that while
both `HashSet` and `HashMap` have their own modules, the main types
themselves are re-exported to the crate level.
## Solution
Re-export the types in their shared `entity` parent module, and simplify
the imports where they're used.
# Objective
- Fixes#18010.
## Solution
- Revert the offending PRs! These are #15481 and #18013. We now no
longer get an error if there are duplicate subassets.
- In theory we could untangle #18013 from #15481, but that may be
tricky, and may still introduce regressions. To avoid this worry (since
we're already in RC mode), I am just reverting both.
## Testing
- This is just a revert.
---
## Migration Guide
<Remove the migration guides for #15481 and #18013>
I will make a PR to the bevy_website repo after this is merged.
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17891
- Cherry-picked from https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18411
## Solution
The `name` argument could either be made permanent (by removing the
`#[cfg(...)]` condition) or eliminated entirely. I opted to remove it,
as debugging a specific DDS texture edge case in GLTF files doesn't seem
necessary, and there isn't any other foreseeable need to have it.
## Migration Guide
- `Image::from_buffer()` no longer has a `name` argument that's only
present in debug builds when the `"dds"` feature is enabled. If you
happen to pass a name, remove it.
## Objective
Reduce dependencies on `bevy_render` by preferring `bevy_mesh` imports
over `bevy_render` re-exports.
```diff
- use bevy_render::mesh::Mesh;
+ use bevy_mesh::Mesh;
```
This is intended to help with #18423 (render crate restructure). Affects
`bevy_gltf`, `bevy_animation` and `bevy_picking`.
## But Why?
As part of #18423, I'm assuming there'll be a push to make crates less
dependent on the big render crates. This PR seemed like a small and safe
step along that path - it only changes imports and makes the `bevy_mesh`
crate dependency explicit in `Cargo.toml`. Any remaining dependencies on
`bevy_render` are true dependencies.
## Testing
```
cargo run --example testbed_3d
cargo run --example mesh_picking
```
# Objective
- Some crates don't compile or have clippy warnings when building for
wasm32
## Solution
- bevy_asset: unused lifetime
- bevy_gltf: the error is not too large in wasm32
- bevy_remote: fails to compile as feature http is also gated on wasm32
- bevy_winit: unused import `error`
# Objective
correctly load gltfs without explicit bindposes
## Solution
use identity matrices if bindposes are not found.
note: currently does nothing, as gltfs without explicit bindposes fail
to load, see <https://github.com/gltf-rs/gltf/pull/449>

# Objective
- `collect_path` is only declared when feature `bevy_animation` is
enabled
- it is imported without checking for the feature, not compiling when
not enabled
## Solution
- Gate the import
# Objective
Refactor `bevy_gltf`, the criteria for the split is kind of arbitrary
but at least it is not a 2.6k line file.
## Solution
Move methods and structs found in `bevy_gltf/loader.rs` into multiple
new modules.
## Testing
`cargo run -p ci`
