Currently, our batchable binned items are stored in a hash table that
maps bin key, which includes the batch set key, to a list of entities.
Multidraw is handled by sorting the bin keys and accumulating adjacent
bins that can be multidrawn together (i.e. have the same batch set key)
into multidraw commands during `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`.
This is reasonably efficient right now, but it will complicate future
work to retain indirect draw parameters from frame to frame. Consider
what must happen when we have retained indirect draw parameters and the
application adds a bin (i.e. a new mesh) that shares a batch set key
with some pre-existing meshes. (That is, the new mesh can be multidrawn
with the pre-existing meshes.) To be maximally efficient, our goal in
that scenario will be to update *only* the indirect draw parameters for
the batch set (i.e. multidraw command) containing the mesh that was
added, while leaving the others alone. That means that we have to
quickly locate all the bins that belong to the batch set being modified.
In the existing code, we would have to sort the list of bin keys so that
bins that can be multidrawn together become adjacent to one another in
the list. Then we would have to do a binary search through the sorted
list to find the location of the bin that was just added. Next, we would
have to widen our search to adjacent indexes that contain the same batch
set, doing expensive comparisons against the batch set key every time.
Finally, we would reallocate the indirect draw parameters and update the
stored pointers to the indirect draw parameters that the bins store.
By contrast, it'd be dramatically simpler if we simply changed the way
bins are stored to first map from batch set key (i.e. multidraw command)
to the bins (i.e. meshes) within that batch set key, and then from each
individual bin to the mesh instances. That way, the scenario above in
which we add a new mesh will be simpler to handle. First, we will look
up the batch set key corresponding to that mesh in the outer map to find
an inner map corresponding to the single multidraw command that will
draw that batch set. We will know how many meshes the multidraw command
is going to draw by the size of that inner map. Then we simply need to
reallocate the indirect draw parameters and update the pointers to those
parameters within the bins as necessary. There will be no need to do any
binary search or expensive batch set key comparison: only a single hash
lookup and an iteration over the inner map to update the pointers.
This patch implements the above technique. Because we don't have
retained bins yet, this PR provides no performance benefits. However, it
opens the door to maximally efficient updates when only a small number
of meshes change from frame to frame.
The main churn that this patch causes is that the *batch set key* (which
uniquely specifies a multidraw command) and *bin key* (which uniquely
specifies a mesh *within* that multidraw command) are now separate,
instead of the batch set key being embedded *within* the bin key.
In order to isolate potential regressions, I think that at least #16890,
#16836, and #16825 should land before this PR does.
## Migration Guide
* The *batch set key* is now separate from the *bin key* in
`BinnedPhaseItem`. The batch set key is used to collect multidrawable
meshes together. If you aren't using the multidraw feature, you can
safely set the batch set key to `()`.
Currently, `check_visibility` is parameterized over a query filter that
specifies the type of potentially-visible object. This has the
unfortunate side effect that we need a separate system,
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`, to trigger view
visibility change detection. That system is quite slow because it must
iterate sequentially over all entities in the scene.
This PR moves the query filter from `check_visibility` to a new
component, `VisibilityClass`. `VisibilityClass` stores a list of type
IDs, each corresponding to one of the query filters we used to use.
Because `check_visibility` is no longer specialized to the query filter
at the type level, Bevy now only needs to invoke it once, leading to
better performance as `check_visibility` can do change detection on the
fly rather than delegating it to a separate system.
This commit also has ergonomic improvements, as there's no need for
applications that want to add their own custom renderable components to
add specializations of the `check_visibility` system to the schedule.
Instead, they only need to ensure that the `ViewVisibility` component is
properly kept up to date. The recommended way to do this, and the way
that's demonstrated in the `custom_phase_item` and
`specialized_mesh_pipeline` examples, is to make `ViewVisibility` a
required component and to add the type ID to it in a component add hook.
This patch does this for `Mesh3d`, `Mesh2d`, `Sprite`, `Light`, and
`Node`, which means that most app code doesn't need to change at all.
Note that, although this patch has a large impact on the performance of
visibility determination, it doesn't actually improve the end-to-end
frame time of `many_cubes`. That's because the render world was already
effectively hiding the latency from
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`. This patch is, however,
necessary for *further* improvements to `many_cubes` performance.
`many_cubes` trace before:
`many_cubes` trace after:
## Migration Guide
* `check_visibility` no longer takes a `QueryFilter`, and there's no
need to add it manually to your app schedule anymore for custom
rendering items. Instead, entities with custom renderable components
should add the appropriate type IDs to `VisibilityClass`. See
`custom_phase_item` for an example.
This commit allows Bevy to bind 16 lightmaps at a time, if the current
platform supports bindless textures. Naturally, if bindless textures
aren't supported, Bevy falls back to binding only a single lightmap at a
time. As lightmaps are usually heavily atlased, I doubt many scenes will
use more than 16 lightmap textures.
This has little performance impact now, but it's desirable for us to
reap the benefits of multidraw and bindless textures on scenes that use
lightmaps. Otherwise, we might have to break batches in order to switch
those lightmaps.
Additionally, this PR slightly reduces the cost of binning because it
makes the lightmap index in `Opaque3dBinKey` 32 bits instead of an
`AssetId`.
## Migration Guide
* The `Opaque3dBinKey::lightmap_image` field is now
`Opaque3dBinKey::lightmap_slab`, which is a lightweight identifier for
an entire binding array of lightmaps.
This patch replaces the undocumented `NoGpuCulling` component with a new
component, `NoIndirectDrawing`, effectively turning indirect drawing on
by default. Indirect mode is needed for the recently-landed multidraw
feature (#16427). Since multidraw is such a win for performance, when
that feature is supported the small performance tax that indirect mode
incurs is virtually always worth paying.
To ensure that custom drawing code such as that in the
`custom_shader_instancing` example continues to function, this commit
additionally makes GPU culling take the `NoFrustumCulling` component
into account.
This PR is an alternative to #16670 that doesn't break the
`custom_shader_instancing` example. **PR #16755 should land first in
order to avoid breaking deferred rendering, as multidraw currently
breaks it**.
## Migration Guide
* Indirect drawing (GPU culling) is now enabled by default, so the
`GpuCulling` component is no longer available. To disable indirect mode,
which may be useful with custom render nodes, add the new
`NoIndirectDrawing` component to your camera.
This commit makes `StandardMaterial` use bindless textures, as
implemented in PR #16368. Non-bindless mode, as used for example in
Metal and WebGL 2, remains fully supported via a plethora of `#ifdef
BINDLESS` preprocessor definitions.
Unfortunately, this PR introduces quite a bit of unsightliness into the
PBR shaders. This is a result of the fact that WGSL supports neither
passing binding arrays to functions nor passing individual *elements* of
binding arrays to functions, except directly to texture sample
functions. Thus we're unable to use the `sample_texture` abstraction
that helped abstract over the meshlet and non-meshlet paths. I don't
think there's anything we can do to help this other than to suggest
improvements to upstream Naga.
# Objective
Fixes typos in bevy project, following suggestion in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/1912#pullrequestreview-2483499337
## Solution
I used https://github.com/crate-ci/typos to find them.
I included only the ones that feel undebatable too me, but I am not in
game engine so maybe some terms are expected.
I left out the following typos:
- `reparametrize` => `reparameterize`: There are a lot of occurences, I
believe this was expected
- `semicircles` => `hemicircles`: 2 occurences, may mean something
specific in geometry
- `invertation` => `inversion`: may mean something specific
- `unparented` => `parentless`: may mean something specific
- `metalness` => `metallicity`: may mean something specific
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? I did not test the changes,
most changes are related to raw text. I expect the others to be tested
by the CI.
- Are there any parts that need more testing? I do not think
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know? To me there is nothing to test
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
---
## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can
delete this section.
(kept in case I include the `reparameterize` change here)
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of
Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support
these changes
- Simply adding new functionality is not a breaking change.
- Fixing behavior that was definitely a bug, rather than a questionable
design choice is not a breaking change.
## Questions
- [x] Should I include the above typos? No
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16702#issuecomment-2525271152)
- [ ] Should I add `typos` to the CI? (I will check how to configure it
properly)
This project looks awesome, I really enjoy reading the progress made,
thanks to everyone involved.
This commit adds support for *multidraw*, which is a feature that allows
multiple meshes to be drawn in a single drawcall. `wgpu` currently
implements multidraw on Vulkan, so this feature is only enabled there.
Multiple meshes can be drawn at once if they're in the same vertex and
index buffers and are otherwise placed in the same bin. (Thus, for
example, at present the materials and textures must be identical, but
see #16368.) Multidraw is a significant performance improvement during
the draw phase because it reduces the number of rebindings, as well as
the number of drawcalls.
This feature is currently only enabled when GPU culling is used: i.e.
when `GpuCulling` is present on a camera. Therefore, if you run for
example `scene_viewer`, you will not see any performance improvements,
because `scene_viewer` doesn't add the `GpuCulling` component to its
camera.
Additionally, the multidraw feature is only implemented for opaque 3D
meshes and not for shadows or 2D meshes. I plan to make GPU culling the
default and to extend the feature to shadows in the future. Also, in the
future I suspect that polyfilling multidraw on APIs that don't support
it will be fruitful, as even without driver-level support use of
multidraw allows us to avoid expensive `wgpu` rebindings.
The bindless PR (#16368) broke some examples:
* `specialized_mesh_pipeline` and `custom_shader_instancing` failed
because they expect to be able to render a mesh with no material, by
overriding enough of the render pipeline to be able to do so. This PR
fixes the issue by restoring the old behavior in which we extract meshes
even if they have no material.
* `texture_binding_array` broke because it doesn't implement
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group`. This was tricky to fix because
there's a very good reason why `texture_binding_array` doesn't implement
that method: there's no sensible way to do so with `wgpu`'s current
bindless API, due to its multiple levels of borrowed references. To fix
the example, I split `MaterialBindGroup` into
`MaterialBindlessBindGroup` and `MaterialNonBindlessBindGroup`, and
allow direct custom implementations of `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` for
the latter type of bind groups. To opt in to the new behavior, return
the `AsBindGroupError::CreateBindGroupDirectly` error from your
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group` implementation, and Bevy will call
your custom `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` method as before.
## Migration Guide
* Bevy will now unconditionally call
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group` for your materials, so you must no
longer panic in that function. Instead, return the new
`AsBindGroupError::CreateBindGroupDirectly` error, and Bevy will fall
back to calling `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` as before.
This patch adds the infrastructure necessary for Bevy to support
*bindless resources*, by adding a new `#[bindless]` attribute to
`AsBindGroup`.
Classically, only a single texture (or sampler, or buffer) can be
attached to each shader binding. This means that switching materials
requires breaking a batch and issuing a new drawcall, even if the mesh
is otherwise identical. This adds significant overhead not only in the
driver but also in `wgpu`, as switching bind groups increases the amount
of validation work that `wgpu` must do.
*Bindless resources* are the typical solution to this problem. Instead
of switching bindings between each texture, the renderer instead
supplies a large *array* of all textures in the scene up front, and the
material contains an index into that array. This pattern is repeated for
buffers and samplers as well. The renderer now no longer needs to switch
binding descriptor sets while drawing the scene.
Unfortunately, as things currently stand, this approach won't quite work
for Bevy. Two aspects of `wgpu` conspire to make this ideal approach
unacceptably slow:
1. In the DX12 backend, all binding arrays (bindless resources) must
have a constant size declared in the shader, and all textures in an
array must be bound to actual textures. Changing the size requires a
recompile.
2. Changing even one texture incurs revalidation of all textures, a
process that takes time that's linear in the total size of the binding
array.
This means that declaring a large array of textures big enough to
encompass the entire scene is presently unacceptably slow. For example,
if you declare 4096 textures, then `wgpu` will have to revalidate all
4096 textures if even a single one changes. This process can take
multiple frames.
To work around this problem, this PR groups bindless resources into
small *slabs* and maintains a free list for each. The size of each slab
for the bindless arrays associated with a material is specified via the
`#[bindless(N)]` attribute. For instance, consider the following
declaration:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
#[bindless(16)]
struct MyMaterial {
#[buffer(0)]
color: Vec4,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
diffuse: Handle<Image>,
}
```
The `#[bindless(N)]` attribute specifies that, if bindless arrays are
supported on the current platform, each resource becomes a binding array
of N instances of that resource. So, for `MyMaterial` above, the `color`
attribute is exposed to the shader as `binding_array<vec4<f32>, 16>`,
the `diffuse` texture is exposed to the shader as
`binding_array<texture_2d<f32>, 16>`, and the `diffuse` sampler is
exposed to the shader as `binding_array<sampler, 16>`. Inside the
material's vertex and fragment shaders, the applicable index is
available via the `material_bind_group_slot` field of the `Mesh`
structure. So, for instance, you can access the current color like so:
```wgsl
// `uniform` binding arrays are a non-sequitur, so `uniform` is automatically promoted
// to `storage` in bindless mode.
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
...
}
```
Note that portable shader code can't guarantee that the current platform
supports bindless textures. Indeed, bindless mode is only available in
Vulkan and DX12. The `BINDLESS` shader definition is available for your
use to determine whether you're on a bindless platform or not. Thus a
portable version of the shader above would look like:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
#else // BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<uniform> material_color: Color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
#ifdef BINDLESS
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
#else // BINDLESS
let color = material_color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
}
```
Importantly, this PR *doesn't* update `StandardMaterial` to be bindless.
So, for example, `scene_viewer` will currently not run any faster. I
intend to update `StandardMaterial` to use bindless mode in a follow-up
patch.
A new example, `shaders/shader_material_bindless`, has been added to
demonstrate how to use this new feature.
Here's a Tracy profile of `submit_graph_commands` of this patch and an
additional patch (not submitted yet) that makes `StandardMaterial` use
bindless. Red is those patches; yellow is `main`. The scene was Bistro
Exterior with a hack that forces all textures to opaque. You can see a
1.47x mean speedup.
## Migration Guide
* `RenderAssets::prepare_asset` now takes an `AssetId` parameter.
* Bin keys now have Bevy-specific material bind group indices instead of
`wgpu` material bind group IDs, as part of the bindless change. Use the
new `MaterialBindGroupAllocator` to map from bind group index to bind
group ID.
# Objective
Glam has some common and useful types and helpers that are not in the
prelude of `bevy_math`. This includes shorthand constructors like
`vec3`, or even `Vec3A`, the aligned version of `Vec3`.
```rust
// The "normal" way to create a 3D vector
let vec = Vec3::new(2.0, 1.0, -3.0);
// Shorthand version
let vec = vec3(2.0, 1.0, -3.0);
```
## Solution
Add the following types and methods to the prelude:
- `vec2`, `vec3`, `vec3a`, `vec4`
- `uvec2`, `uvec3`, `uvec4`
- `ivec2`, `ivec3`, `ivec4`
- `bvec2`, `bvec3`, `bvec3a`, `bvec4`, `bvec4a`
- `mat2`, `mat3`, `mat3a`, `mat4`
- `quat` (not sure if anyone uses this, but for consistency)
- `Vec3A`
- `BVec3A`, `BVec4A`
- `Mat3A`
I did not add the u16, i16, or f64 variants like `dvec2`, since there
are currently no existing types like those in the prelude.
The shorthand constructors are currently used a lot in some places in
Bevy, and not at all in others. In a follow-up, we might want to
consider if we have a preference for the shorthand, and make a PR to
change the codebase to use it more consistently.
# Objective
Fixes#15940
## Solution
Remove the `pub use` and fix the compile errors.
Make `bevy_image` available as `bevy::image`.
## Testing
Feature Frenzy would be good here! Maybe I'll learn how to use it if I
have some time this weekend, or maybe a reviewer can use it.
## Migration Guide
Use `bevy_image` instead of `bevy_render::texture` items.

# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
Fixes#15834

# Objective
Cleanup naming and docs, add missing migration guide after #15591
All text root nodes now use `Text` (UI) / `Text2d`.
All text readers/writers use `Text<Type>Reader`/`Text<Type>Writer`
convention.
---
## Migration Guide
Doubles as #15591 migration guide.
Text bundles (`TextBundle` and `Text2dBundle`) were removed in favor of
`Text` and `Text2d`.
Shared configuration fields were replaced with `TextLayout`, `TextFont`
and `TextColor` components.
Just `TextBundle`'s additional field turned into `TextNodeFlags`
component,
while `Text2dBundle`'s additional fields turned into `TextBounds` and
`Anchor` components.
Text sections were removed in favor of hierarchy-based approach.
For root text entities with `Text` or `Text2d` components, child
entities with `TextSpan` will act as additional text sections.
To still access text spans by index, use the new `TextUiReader`,
`Text2dReader` and `TextUiWriter`, `Text2dWriter` system parameters.
# Objective
The type `AssetLoadError` has `PartialEq` and `Eq` impls, which is
problematic due to the fact that the `AssetLoaderError` and
`AddAsyncError` variants lie in their impls: they will return `true` for
any `Box<dyn Error>` with the same `TypeId`, even if the actual value is
different. This can lead to subtle bugs if a user relies on the equality
comparison to ensure that two values are equal.
The same is true for `DependencyLoadState`,
`RecursiveDependencyLoadState`.
More generally, it is an anti-pattern for large error types involving
dynamic dispatch, such as `AssetLoadError`, to have equality
comparisons. Directly comparing two errors for equality is usually not
desired -- if some logic needs to branch based on the value of an error,
it is usually more correct to check for specific variants and inspect
their fields.
As far as I can tell, the only reason these errors have equality
comparisons is because the `LoadState` enum wraps `AssetLoadError` for
its `Failed` variant. This equality comparison is only used to check for
`== LoadState::Loaded`, which we can easily replace with an `is_loaded`
method.
## Solution
Remove the `{Partial}Eq` impls from `LoadState`, which also allows us to
remove it from the error types.
## Migration Guide
The types `bevy_asset::AssetLoadError` and `bevy_asset::LoadState` no
longer support equality comparisons. If you need to check for an asset's
load state, consider checking for a specific variant using
`LoadState::is_loaded` or the `matches!` macro. Similarly, consider
using the `matches!` macro to check for specific variants of the
`AssetLoadError` type if you need to inspect the value of an asset load
error in your code.
`DependencyLoadState` and `RecursiveDependencyLoadState` are not
released yet, so no migration needed,

- closes#15866
## Solution
- Simply migrate where possible.
## Testing

testing this, as most of the work is in that area.

## Notes
For now, this PR doesn't migrate `QueryState::single` and friends as for
now, this look like another issue. So for example, QueryBuilders that
used single or `World::query` that used single wasn't migrated. If there
is a easy way to migrate those, please let me know.
Most of the uses of `Query::single` were removed, the only other uses
that I found was related to tests of said methods, so will probably be
removed when we remove `Query::single`.

- Required components replace bundles, but `SpatialBundle` is yet to be
deprecated
## Solution
- Deprecate `SpatialBundle`

- In `spawn` or `insert` inserting a default `Transform` or `Visibility`
with component already requiring either, remove those components from
the tuple
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Yes, I ran the examples I changed and tests
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
The `gamepad_viewer` and and `custom_shader_instancing` examples don't
work as intended due to entirely unrelated code, didn't check main.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
Run examples, or just check that all spawned values are identical
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Linux, wayland trough x11 (cause that's the default feature)

## Migration Guide
`SpatialBundle` is now deprecated, insert `Transform` and `Visibility`
instead which will automatically insert all other components that were

## Migration Guide
`TextStyle` has been renamed to `TextFont` and its `color` field has
been moved to a separate component named `TextColor` which newtypes
`Color`.
# Objective
In the Render World, there are a number of collections that are derived
from Main World entities and are used to drive rendering. The most
notable are:
- `VisibleEntities`, which is generated in the `check_visibility` system
and contains visible entities for a view.
- `ExtractedInstances`, which maps entity ids to asset ids.
In the old model, these collections were trivially kept in sync -- any
extracted phase item could look itself up because the render entity id
was guaranteed to always match the corresponding main world id.
After #15320, this became much more complicated, and was leading to a
number of subtle bugs in the Render World. The main rendering systems,
i.e. `queue_material_meshes` and `queue_material2d_meshes`, follow a
similar pattern:
```rust
for visible_entity in visible_entities.iter::<With<Mesh2d>>() {
let Some(mesh_instance) = render_mesh_instances.get_mut(visible_entity) else {
continue;
};
// Look some more stuff up and specialize the pipeline...
let bin_key = Opaque2dBinKey {
pipeline: pipeline_id,
draw_function: draw_opaque_2d,
asset_id: mesh_instance.mesh_asset_id.into(),
material_bind_group_id: material_2d.get_bind_group_id().0,
};
opaque_phase.add(
bin_key,
*visible_entity,
BinnedRenderPhaseType::mesh(mesh_instance.automatic_batching),
);
}
```
In this case, `visible_entities` and `render_mesh_instances` are both
collections that are created and keyed by Main World entity ids, and so
this lookup happens to work by coincidence. However, there is a major
unintentional bug here: namely, because `visible_entities` is a
collection of Main World ids, the phase item being queued is created
with a Main World id rather than its correct Render World id.
This happens to not break mesh rendering because the render commands
used for drawing meshes do not access the `ItemQuery` parameter, but
demonstrates the confusion that is now possible: our UI phase items are
correctly being queued with Render World ids while our meshes aren't.
Additionally, this makes it very easy and error prone to use the wrong
entity id to look up things like assets. For example, if instead we
ignored visibility checks and queued our meshes via a query, we'd have
to be extra careful to use `&MainEntity` instead of the natural
`Entity`.
## Solution
Make all collections that are derived from Main World data use
`MainEntity` as their key, to ensure type safety and avoid accidentally
looking up data with the wrong entity id:
```rust
pub type MainEntityHashMap<V> = hashbrown::HashMap<MainEntity, V, EntityHash>;
```
Additionally, we make all `PhaseItem` be able to provide both their Main
and Render World ids, to allow render phase implementors maximum
flexibility as to what id should be used to look up data.
You can think of this like tracking at the type level whether something
in the Render World should use it's "primary key", i.e. entity id, or
needs to use a foreign key, i.e. `MainEntity`.
## Testing
##### TODO:
This will require extensive testing to make sure things didn't break!
Additionally, some extraction logic has become more complicated and
needs to be checked for regressions.
## Migration Guide
With the advent of the retained render world, collections that contain
references to `Entity` that are extracted into the render world have
been changed to contain `MainEntity` in order to prevent errors where a
render world entity id is used to look up an item by accident. Custom
rendering code may need to be changed to query for `&MainEntity` in
order to look up the correct item from such a collection. Additionally,
users who implement their own extraction logic for collections of main
world entity should strongly consider extracting into a different
collection that uses `MainEntity` as a key.
Additionally, render phases now require specifying both the `Entity` and
`MainEntity` for a given `PhaseItem`. Custom render phases should ensure
`MainEntity` is available when queuing a phase item.
# Objective
- Closes#15716
- Closes#15718
## Solution
- Replace `Handle<MeshletMesh>` with a new `MeshletMesh3d` component
- As expected there were some random things that needed fixing:
- A couple tests were storing handles just to prevent them from being
dropped I believe, which seems to have been unnecessary in some.
- The `SpriteBundle` still had a `Handle<Image>` field. I've removed
this.
- Tests in `bevy_sprite` incorrectly added a `Handle<Image>` field
outside of the `Sprite` component.
- A few examples were still inserting `Handle`s, switched those to their
corresponding wrappers.
- 2 examples that were still querying for `Handle<Image>` were changed
to query `Sprite`
## Testing
- I've verified that the changed example work now
## Migration Guide
`Handle` can no longer be used as a `Component`. All existing Bevy types
using this pattern have been wrapped in their own semantically
meaningful type. You should do the same for any custom `Handle`
components your project needs.
The `Handle<MeshletMesh>` component is now `MeshletMesh3d`.
The `WithMeshletMesh` type alias has been removed. Use
`With<MeshletMesh3d>` instead.
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.
Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.
## Testing
- [x] Text examples all work.

TODO: very breaking
### Accessing text spans by index
Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.
Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
let text = query.single_mut();
text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
mut writer: UiTextWriter,
time: Res<Time>
) {
let entity = query.single();
*writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
### Iterating text spans
Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

# Objective
Continue migration of bevy APIs to required components, following
guidance of https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/
## Solution
- Make `Sprite` require `Transform` and `Visibility` and
`SyncToRenderWorld`
- move image and texture atlas handles into `Sprite`
- deprecate `SpriteBundle`
- remove engine uses of `SpriteBundle`
## Testing
ran cargo tests on bevy_sprite and tested several sprite examples.
---
## Migration Guide
Replace all uses of `SpriteBundle` with `Sprite`. There are several new
convenience constructors: `Sprite::from_image`,
`Sprite::from_atlas_image`, `Sprite::from_color`.
WARNING: use of `Handle<Image>` and `TextureAtlas` as components on
sprite entities will NO LONGER WORK. Use the fields on `Sprite` instead.
I would have removed the `Component` impls from `TextureAtlas` and
`Handle<Image>` except it is still used within ui. We should fix this
moving forward with the migration.
# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.
---
## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
A big step in the migration to required components: meshes and
materials!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2Fj9-PnF-2QKK0on1KQ29UWQ):
- Deprecate `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and
`PbrBundle`.
- Add `Mesh2d` and `Mesh3d` components, which wrap a `Handle<Mesh>`.
- Add `MeshMaterial2d<M: Material2d>` and `MeshMaterial3d<M: Material>`,
which wrap a `Handle<M>`.
- Meshes *without* a mesh material should be rendered with a default
material. The existence of a material is determined by
`HasMaterial2d`/`HasMaterial3d`, which is required by
`MeshMaterial2d`/`MeshMaterial3d`. This gets around problems with the
generics.
Previously:
```rust
commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(),
material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)),
transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))),
MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))),
Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
));
```
If the mesh material is missing, previously nothing was rendered. Now,
it renders a white default `ColorMaterial` in 2D and a
`StandardMaterial` in 3D (this can be overridden). Below, only every
other entity has a material:
Why white? This is still open for discussion, but I think white makes
sense for a *default* material, while *invalid* asset handles pointing
to nothing should have something like a pink material to indicate that
something is broken (I don't handle that in this PR yet). This is kind
of a mix of Godot and Unity: Godot just renders a white material for
non-existent materials, while Unity renders nothing when no materials
exist, but renders pink for invalid materials. I can also change the
default material to pink if that is preferable though.
## Testing
I ran some 2D and 3D examples to test if anything changed visually. I
have not tested all examples or features yet however. If anyone wants to
test more extensively, it would be appreciated!
## Implementation Notes
- The relationship between `bevy_render` and `bevy_pbr` is weird here.
`bevy_render` needs `Mesh3d` for its own systems, but `bevy_pbr` has all
of the material logic, and `bevy_render` doesn't depend on it. I feel
like the two crates should be refactored in some way, but I think that's
out of scope for this PR.
- I didn't migrate meshlets to required components yet. That can
probably be done in a follow-up, as this is already a huge PR.
- It is becoming increasingly clear to me that we really, *really* want
to disallow raw asset handles as components. They caused me a *ton* of
headache here already, and it took me a long time to find every place
that queried for them or inserted them directly on entities, since there
were no compiler errors for it. If we don't remove the `Component`
derive, I expect raw asset handles to be a *huge* footgun for users as
we transition to wrapper components, especially as handles as components
have been the norm so far. I personally consider this to be a blocker
for 0.15: we need to migrate to wrapper components for asset handles
everywhere, and remove the `Component` derive. Also see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14124.
---
## Migration Guide
Asset handles for meshes and mesh materials must now be wrapped in the
`Mesh2d` and `MeshMaterial2d` or `Mesh3d` and `MeshMaterial3d`
components for 2D and 3D respectively. Raw handles as components no
longer render meshes.
Additionally, `MaterialMesh2dBundle`, `MaterialMeshBundle`, and
`PbrBundle` have been deprecated. Instead, use the mesh and material
components directly.
Previously:
```rust
commands.spawn(MaterialMesh2dBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0)).into(),
material: materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5)),
transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Mesh2d(meshes.add(Circle::new(100.0))),
MeshMaterial2d(materials.add(Color::srgb(7.5, 0.0, 7.5))),
Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(-200., 0., 0.)),
));
```
If the mesh material is missing, a white default material is now used.
Previously, nothing was rendered if the material was missing.
The `WithMesh2d` and `WithMesh3d` query filter type aliases have also
been removed. Simply use `With<Mesh2d>` or `With<Mesh3d>`.

# Objective
Another step in the migration to required components: lights!
Note that this does not include `EnvironmentMapLight` or reflection
probes yet, because their API hasn't been fully chosen yet.
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposals](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FLLnzwz9XTxiD7i2jiUXkJg):
- Deprecate `PointLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `SpotLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `DirectionalLightBundle` in favor of the `DirectionalLight`
component
## Testing
I ran some examples with lights.
---
## Migration Guide
`PointLightBundle`, `SpotLightBundle`, and `DirectionalLightBundle` have
been deprecated. Use the `PointLight`, `SpotLight`, and

# Objective
Adds a new `Readback` component to request for readback of a
`Handle<Image>` or `Handle<ShaderStorageBuffer>` to the CPU in a future
frame.
## Solution
We track the `Readback` component and allocate a target buffer to write
the gpu resource into and map it back asynchronously, which then fires a
trigger on the entity in the main world. This proccess is asynchronous,
and generally takes a few frames.
## Showcase
```rust
let mut buffer = ShaderStorageBuffer::from(vec![0u32; 16]);
buffer.buffer_description.usage |= BufferUsages::COPY_SRC;
let buffer = buffers.add(buffer);
commands
.spawn(Readback::buffer(buffer.clone()))
.observe(|trigger: Trigger<ReadbackComplete>| {
info!("Buffer data from previous frame {:?}", trigger.event());

Adds some methods to assist in building `ShaderStorageBuffer` without
using `bytemuck`. We keep the `&[u8]` constructors since this is still
modeled as a thin wrapper around the buffer descriptor, but should make
it easier to interact with at the cost of an extra allocation in the
`ShaderType` path for the buffer writer.
Follow up from #14663
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that can be used as a render
asset, particularly for use with `AsBindGroup`.
Closes: #13658
# Objective
Allow users to create storage buffers in the main world without having
to access the `RenderDevice`. While this resource is technically
available, it's bad form to use in the main world and requires mixing
rendering details with main world code. Additionally, this makes storage
buffers easier to use with `AsBindGroup`, particularly in the following
scenarios:
- Sharing the same buffers between a compute stage and material shader.
We already have examples of this for storage textures (see game of life
example) and these changes allow a similar pattern to be used with
storage buffers.
- Preventing repeated gpu upload (see the previous easier to use `Vec`
`AsBindGroup` option).
- Allow initializing custom materials using `Default`. Previously, the
lack of a `Default` implement for the raw `wgpu::Buffer` type made
implementing a `AsBindGroup + Default` bound difficult in the presence
of buffers.
## Solution
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that is prepared into a
`GpuStorageBuffer` render asset. This asset can either be initialized
with a `Vec<u8>` of properly aligned data or with a size hint. Users can
modify the underlying `wgpu::BufferDescriptor` to provide additional
usage flags.
## Migration Guide
The `AsBindGroup` `storage` attribute has been modified to reference the
new `Handle<Storage>` asset instead. Usages of Vec` should be converted
into assets instead.

# Objective
- Fixes#14974
## Solution
- Replace all* instances of `NonZero*` with `NonZero<*>`
## Testing
- CI passed locally.
---
## Notes
Within the `bevy_reflect` implementations for `std` types,
`impl_reflect_value!()` will continue to use the type aliases instead,
as it inappropriately parses the concrete type parameter as a generic
argument. If the `ZeroablePrimitive` trait was stable, or the macro
could be modified to accept a finite list of types, then we could fully
migrate.
# Objective
Adding more features to `AsBindGroup` proc macro means making the trait
arguments uglier. Downstream implementors of the trait without the proc
macro might want to do different things than our default arguments.
## Solution
Make `AsBindGroup` take an associated `Param` type.
## Migration Guide
`AsBindGroup` now allows the user to specify a `SystemParam` to be used
for creating bind groups.
# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
# Objective
- A lot of mid-level rendering apis are hard to figure out because they
don't have any examples
- SpecializedMeshPipeline can be really useful in some cases when you
want more flexibility than a Material without having to go to low level
apis.
## Solution
- Add an example showing how to make a custom `SpecializedMeshPipeline`.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are

This commit uses the [`offset-allocator`] crate to combine vertex and
index arrays from different meshes into single buffers. Since the
primary source of `wgpu` overhead is from validation and synchronization
when switching buffers, this significantly improves Bevy's rendering
performance on many scenes.
This patch is a more flexible version of #13218, which also used slabs.
Unlike #13218, which used slabs of a fixed size, this commit implements
slabs that start small and can grow. In addition to reducing memory
usage, supporting slab growth reduces the number of vertex and index
buffer switches that need to happen during rendering, leading to
improved performance. To prevent pathological fragmentation behavior,
slabs are capped to a maximum size, and mesh arrays that are too large
get their own dedicated slabs.
As an additional improvement over #13218, this commit allows the
application to customize all allocator heuristics. The
`MeshAllocatorSettings` resource contains values that adjust the minimum
and maximum slab sizes, the cutoff point at which meshes get their own
dedicated slabs, and the rate at which slabs grow. Hopefully-sensible
defaults have been chosen for each value.
Unfortunately, WebGL 2 doesn't support the *base vertex* feature, which
is necessary to pack vertex arrays from different meshes into the same
buffer. `wgpu` represents this restriction as the downlevel flag
`BASE_VERTEX`. This patch detects that bit and ensures that all vertex
buffers get dedicated slabs on that platform. Even on WebGL 2, though,
we can combine all *index* arrays into single buffers to reduce buffer
changes, and we do so.
The following measurements are on Bistro:
Overall frame time improves from 8.74 ms to 5.53 ms (1.58x speedup):
Render system time improves from 6.57 ms to 3.54 ms (1.86x speedup):
Opaque pass time improves from 4.64 ms to 2.33 ms (1.99x speedup):
## Migration Guide
### Changed
* Vertex and index buffers for meshes may now be packed alongside other
buffers, for performance.
* `GpuMesh` has been renamed to `RenderMesh`, to reflect the fact that
it no longer directly stores handles to GPU objects.
* Because meshes no longer have their own vertex and index buffers, the
responsibility for the buffers has moved from `GpuMesh` (now called
`RenderMesh`) to the `MeshAllocator` resource. To access the vertex data
for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_vertex_slice`. To access the index
data for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_index_slice`.

This commit creates a new built-in postprocessing shader that's designed
to hold miscellaneous postprocessing effects, and starts it off with
chromatic aberration. Possible future effects include vignette, film
grain, and lens distortion.
[Chromatic aberration] is a common postprocessing effect that simulates
lenses that fail to focus all colors of light to a single point. It's
often used for impact effects and/or horror games. This patch uses the
technique from *Inside* ([Gjøl & Svendsen 2016]), which allows the
developer to customize the particular color pattern to achieve different
effects. Unity HDRP uses the same technique, while Unreal has a
hard-wired fixed color pattern.
A new example, `post_processing`, has been added, in order to
demonstrate the technique. The existing `post_processing` shader has
been renamed to `custom_post_processing`, for clarity.

[Gjøl & Svendsen 2016]:
https://github.com/playdeadgames/publications/blob/master/INSIDE/rendering_inside_gdc2016.pdf
## Changelog
### Added
* Chromatic aberration is now available as a built-in postprocessing
effect. To use it, add `ChromaticAberration` to your camera.
As reported in #14004, many third-party plugins, such as Hanabi, enqueue
entities that don't have meshes into render phases. However, the
introduction of indirect mode added a dependency on mesh-specific data,
breaking this workflow. This is because GPU preprocessing requires that
the render phases manage indirect draw parameters, which don't apply to
objects that aren't meshes. The existing code skips over binned entities
that don't have indirect draw parameters, which causes the rendering to
be skipped for such objects.
To support this workflow, this commit adds a new field,
`non_mesh_items`, to `BinnedRenderPhase`. This field contains a simple
list of (bin key, entity) pairs. After drawing batchable and unbatchable
objects, the non-mesh items are drawn one after another. Bevy itself
doesn't enqueue any items into this list; it exists solely for the
application and/or plugins to use.
Additionally, this commit switches the asset ID in the standard bin keys
to be an untyped asset ID rather than that of a mesh. This allows more
flexibility, allowing bins to be keyed off any type of asset.
This patch adds a new example, `custom_phase_item`, which simultaneously
serves to demonstrate how to use this new feature and to act as a
regression test so this doesn't break again.
Fixes#14004.
## Changelog
### Added
* `BinnedRenderPhase` now contains a `non_mesh_items` field for plugins
to add custom items to.
# Objective
While learning about shaders and pipelines, I found this example to be
misleading; it wasn't clear to me how the node knew what the correct
"instance" of `PostProcessSettings` we should send to the shader (as the
combination of `ExtractComponentPlugin` and `UniformComponentPlugin`
extracts + sends _all_ of our `PostProcessSetting` components to the
GPU).
The goal of this PR is to clarify how to target the view specific
`PostProcessSettings` in the shader when there are multiple cameras.
## Solution
To accomplish this, we can use a dynamic uniform buffer for
`PostProcessSettings`, querying for the relevant `DynamicUniformIndex`
in the `PostProcessNode` to get the relevant index to use with the bind
group.
While the example in its current state is _correct_, I believe that fact
that it's intended to showcase a per camera post processing effect
warrants a dynamic uniform buffer (even though in the context of this
example we have only one camera, and therefore no adverse behaviour).
## Testing
- Run the `post_processing` example before and after this change,
verifying they behave the same.
## Reviewer notes
This is my first PR to Bevy, and I'm by no means an expert in the world
of rendering (though I'm trying to learn all I can). If there's a better
way to do this / a reason not to take this route, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks in advance.
# Objective
- Where possible, it's recommended to use `BufferVec` over
`encase::StorageBuffer` for performance reason. It doesn't really matter
for the example, but it's still important to teach the better solution.
## Solution
- Use BufferVec in the gpu_readback example
Currently copypasting the example into a new project without also
copying "shaders/game_of_life.wgsl" gives an unhelpful blank screen.
This change makes it panic instead. I think nicer error handling is
outside scope of the example, and this is good enough to point out that
the shader code is missing.
# Objective
- The default font size is too small to be useful in examples or for
debug text.
- Fixes#13587
## Solution
- Updated the default font size value in `TextStyle` from 12px to 24px.
- Resorted to Text defaults in examples to use the default font size in
most of them.
## Testing
- WIP
---
## Migration Guide
- The default font size has been increased to 24px from 12px. Make sure
you set the font to the appropriate values in places you were using
`Default` text style.
## Objective
Use the "standard" text size / placement for the new text in these
examples.
Continuation of an effort started here:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8478
This is definitely not comprehensive. I did the ones that were easy to
find and relatively straightforward updates. I meant to just do
`3d_shapes` and `2d_shapes`, but one thing lead to another.
## Solution
Use `font_size: 20.0`, the default (built-in) font, `Color::WHITE`
(default), and `Val::Px(12.)` from the edges of the screen.
There are a few little drive-by cleanups of defaults not being used,
etc.
## Testing
Ran the changed examples, verified that they still look reasonable.
This commit makes us stop using the render world ECS for
`BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` and instead use resources
with `EntityHashMap`s inside. There are three reasons to do this:
1. We can use `clear()` to clear out the render phase collections
instead of recreating the components from scratch, allowing us to reuse
allocations.
2. This is a prerequisite for retained bins, because components can't be
retained from frame to frame in the render world, but resources can.
3. We want to move away from storing anything in components in the
render world ECS, and this is a step in that direction.
This patch results in a small performance benefit, due to point (1)
above.
## Changelog
### Changed
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources.
## Migration Guide
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources. Instead of querying for the
components, look the camera entity up in the
`ViewBinnedRenderPhases`/`ViewSortedRenderPhases` tables.
# Objective
- I've been using the `texture_binding_array` example as a base to use
multiple textures in meshes in my program
- I only realised once I was deep in render code that these helpers
existed to create layouts
- I wish I knew the existed earlier because the alternative (filling in
every struct field) is so much more verbose
## Solution
- Use `BindGroupLayoutEntries::with_indices` to teach users that the
helper exists
- Also fix typo which should be `texture_2d`.
## Alternatives considered
- Just leave it as is to teach users about every single struct field
- However, leaving as is leaves users writing roughly 29 lines versus
roughly 2 lines for 2 entries and I'd prefer the 2 line approach
## Testing
Ran the example locally and compared before and after.

This commit implements opt-in GPU frustum culling, built on top of the
infrastructure in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12773. To
enable it on a camera, add the `GpuCulling` component to it. To
additionally disable CPU frustum culling, add the `NoCpuCulling`
component. Note that adding `GpuCulling` without `NoCpuCulling`
*currently* does nothing useful. The reason why `GpuCulling` doesn't
automatically imply `NoCpuCulling` is that I intend to follow this patch
up with GPU two-phase occlusion culling, and CPU frustum culling plus
GPU occlusion culling seems like a very commonly-desired mode.
Adding the `GpuCulling` component to a view puts that view into
*indirect mode*. This mode makes all drawcalls indirect, relying on the
mesh preprocessing shader to allocate instances dynamically. In indirect
mode, the `PreprocessWorkItem` `output_index` points not to a
`MeshUniform` instance slot but instead to a set of `wgpu`
`IndirectParameters`, from which it allocates an instance slot
dynamically if frustum culling succeeds. Batch building has been updated
to allocate and track indirect parameter slots, and the AABBs are now
supplied to the GPU as `MeshCullingData`.
A small amount of code relating to the frustum culling has been borrowed
from meshlets and moved into `maths.wgsl`. Note that standard Bevy
frustum culling uses AABBs, while meshlets use bounding spheres; this
means that not as much code can be shared as one might think.
This patch doesn't provide any way to perform GPU culling on shadow
maps, to avoid making this patch bigger than it already is. That can be
a followup.
## Changelog
### Added
* Frustum culling can now optionally be done on the GPU. To enable it,
add the `GpuCulling` component to a camera.
* To disable CPU frustum culling, add `NoCpuCulling` to a camera. Note
that `GpuCulling` doesn't automatically imply `NoCpuCulling`.
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`.
# 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.
# Objective
- Example `compute_shader_game_of_life` is random and not following the
rules of the game of life: at each steps, it randomly reads some pixel
of the current step and some of the previous step instead of only from
the previous step
- Fixes#9353
## Solution
- Adopted from #9678
- Added a switch of the texture displayed every frame otherwise the game
of life looks wrong
- Added a way to display the texture bigger so that I could manually
check everything was right

This commit makes the following optimizations:
## `MeshPipelineKey`/`BaseMeshPipelineKey` split
`MeshPipelineKey` has been split into `BaseMeshPipelineKey`, which lives
in `bevy_render` and `MeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_pbr`.
Conceptually, `BaseMeshPipelineKey` is a superclass of
`MeshPipelineKey`. For `BaseMeshPipelineKey`, the bits start at the
highest (most significant) bit and grow downward toward the lowest bit;
for `MeshPipelineKey`, the bits start at the lowest bit and grow upward
toward the highest bit. This prevents them from colliding.
The goal of this is to avoid having to reassemble bits of the pipeline
key for every mesh every frame. Instead, we can just use a bitwise or
operation to combine the pieces that make up a `MeshPipelineKey`.
## `specialize_slow`
Previously, all of `specialize()` was marked as `#[inline]`. This
bloated `queue_material_meshes` unnecessarily, as a large chunk of it
ended up being a slow path that was rarely hit. This commit refactors
the function to move the slow path to `specialize_slow()`.
Together, these two changes shave about 5% off `queue_material_meshes`:
## Migration Guide
- The `primitive_topology` field on `GpuMesh` is now an accessor method:
`GpuMesh::primitive_topology()`.
- For performance reasons, `MeshPipelineKey` has been split into
`BaseMeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_render`, and
`MeshPipelineKey`, which lives in `bevy_pbr`. These two should be
combined with bitwise-or to produce the final `MeshPipelineKey`.
# Objective
- There are several redundant imports in the tests and examples that are
not caught by CI because additional flags need to be passed.
## Solution
- Run `cargo check --workspace --tests` and `cargo check --workspace
--examples`, then fix all warnings.
- Add `test-check` to CI, which will be run in the check-compiles job.
This should catch future warnings for tests. Examples are already
checked, but I'm not yet sure why they weren't caught.
## Discussion
- Should the `--tests` and `--examples` flags be added to CI, so this is
caught in the future?
- If so, #12818 will need to be merged first. It was also a warning
raised by checking the examples, but I chose to split off into a
separate PR.

# 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>.`
# Objective
- `examples/shader/post_processing.rs` is a shader example that works
for 3d
- I recently tried to update this example to get it to work on 2d but
failed to do so
- Then I created a discord help thread to help me figure this out.
[here's the link to the
thread](https://discordapp.com/channels/691052431525675048/1221819669116354723).
## Solution
- The solution is to replace all instances of 3d structures with their
respective 2d counterparts
## Changelog
- Added a small comment that explains how to get the example to work on
2d

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.

Fixes#12600
## Solution
Removed Into<AssetId<T>> for Handle<T> as proposed in Issue
conversation, fixed dependent code
## Migration guide
If you use passing Handle by value as AssetId, you should pass reference
or call .id() method on it
Before (0.13):
`assets.insert(handle, value);`
After (0.14):
`assets.insert(&handle, value);`
or
`assets.insert(handle.id(), value);`
Although we cached hashes of `MeshVertexBufferLayout`, we were paying
the cost of `PartialEq` on `InnerMeshVertexBufferLayout` for every
entity, every frame. This patch changes that logic to place
`MeshVertexBufferLayout`s in `Arc`s so that they can be compared and
hashed by pointer. This results in a 28% speedup in the
`queue_material_meshes` phase of `many_cubes`, with frustum culling
disabled.
Additionally, this patch contains two minor changes:
1. This commit flattens the specialized mesh pipeline cache to one level
of hash tables instead of two. This saves a hash lookup.
2. The example `many_cubes` has been given a `--no-frustum-culling`
flag, to aid in benchmarking.

## Migration guide
* Duplicate `MeshVertexBufferLayout`s are now combined into a single
object, `MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef`, which contains an
atomically-reference-counted pointer to the layout. Code that was using
`MeshVertexBufferLayout` may need to be updated to use
`MeshVertexBufferLayoutRef` instead.
# 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.

# Objective

```
thread 'Compute Task Pool (0)' panicked at /Users/runner/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/wgpu-0.19.1/src/backend/wgpu_core.rs:3009:5:
wgpu error: Validation Error
Caused by:
In Device::create_bind_group
The adapter does not support read access for storages texture of format Rgba8Unorm
```
## Solution
- Use an `R32Float` texture instead of an `Rgba8Unorm` as it's a tier 1
texture format https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/issues/3838 and is more
supported
- This should also improve support for webgpu in the next wgpu version
# Objective
`FromWorld` is often used to group loading and creation of assets for
resources.
With this setup, users often end up repetitively calling
`.resource::<AssetServer>` and `.resource_mut::<Assets<T>>`, and may
have difficulties handling lifetimes of the returned references.
## Solution
Add extension methods to `World` to add and load assets, through a new
extension trait defined in `bevy_asset`.
### Other considerations
* This might be a bit too "magic", as it makes implicit the resource
access.
* We could also implement `DirectAssetAccessExt` on `App`, but it didn't
feel necessary, as `FromWorld` is the principal use-case here.
---
## Changelog
* Add the `DirectAssetAccessExt` trait, which adds the `add_asset`,
`load_asset` and `load_asset_with_settings` method to the `World` type.
# 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!

# 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`
# Objective
After adding configurable exposure, we set the default ev100 value to
`7` (indoor). This brought us out of sync with Blender's configuration
and defaults. This PR changes the default to `9.7` (bright indoor or
very overcast outdoors), as I calibrated in #11577. This feels like a
very reasonable default.
The other changes generally center around tweaking Bevy's lighting
defaults and examples to play nicely with this number, alongside a few
other tweaks and improvements.
Note that for artistic reasons I have reverted some examples, which
changed to directional lights in #11581, back to point lights.
Fixes#11577
---
## Changelog
- Changed `Exposure::ev100` from `7` to `9.7` to better match Blender
- Renamed `ExposureSettings` to `Exposure`
- `Camera3dBundle` now includes `Exposure` for discoverability
- Bumped `FULL_DAYLIGHT ` and `DIRECT_SUNLIGHT` to represent the
middle-to-top of those ranges instead of near the bottom
- Added new `AMBIENT_DAYLIGHT` constant and set that as the new
`DirectionalLight` default illuminance.
- `PointLight` and `SpotLight` now have a default `intensity` of
1,000,000 lumens. This makes them actually useful in the context of the
new "semi-outdoor" exposure and puts them in the "cinema lighting"
category instead of the "common household light" category. They are also
reasonably close to the Blender default.
- `AmbientLight` default has been bumped from `20` to `80`.
## Migration Guide
- The increased `Exposure::ev100` means that all existing 3D lighting
will need to be adjusted to match (DirectionalLights, PointLights,
SpotLights, EnvironmentMapLights, etc). Or alternatively, you can adjust
the `Exposure::ev100` on your cameras to work nicely with your current
lighting values. If you are currently relying on default intensity
values, you might need to change the intensity to achieve the same
effect. Note that in Bevy 0.12, point/spot lights had a different hard
coded ev100 value than directional lights. In Bevy 0.13, they use the
same ev100, so if you have both in your scene, the _scale_ between these
light types has changed and you will likely need to adjust one or both
of them.
# 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`
This fixes a `FIXME` in `extract_meshes` and results in a performance
improvement.
As a result of this change, meshes in the render world might not be
attached to entities anymore. Therefore, the `entity` parameter to
`RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Most
applications that use the render app's ECS can simply unwrap the
`Option`.
Note that for now sprites, gizmos, and UI elements still use the render
world as usual.
## Migration guide
* For efficiency reasons, some meshes in the render world may not have
corresponding `Entity` IDs anymore. As a result, the `entity` parameter
to `RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Custom
rendering code may need to be updated to handle the case in which no
`Entity` exists for an object that is to be rendered.
# Objective
#11431 and #11688 implemented meshing support for Bevy's new geometric
primitives. The next step is to deprecate the shapes in
`bevy_render::mesh::shape` and to later remove them completely for 0.14.
## Solution
Deprecate the shapes and reduce code duplication by utilizing the
primitive meshing API for the old shapes where possible.
Note that some shapes have behavior that can't be exactly reproduced
with the new primitives yet:
- `Box` is more of an AABB with min/max extents
- `Plane` supports a subdivision count
- `Quad` has a `flipped` property
These types have not been changed to utilize the new primitives yet.
---
## Changelog
- Deprecated all shapes in `bevy_render::mesh::shape`
- Changed all examples to use new primitives for meshing
## Migration Guide
Bevy has previously used rendering-specific types like `UVSphere` and
`Quad` for primitive mesh shapes. These have now been deprecated to use
the geometric primitives newly introduced in version 0.13.
Some examples:
```rust
let before = meshes.add(shape::Box::new(5.0, 0.15, 5.0));
let after = meshes.add(Cuboid::new(5.0, 0.15, 5.0));
let before = meshes.add(shape::Quad::default());
let after = meshes.add(Rectangle::default());
let before = meshes.add(shape::Plane::from_size(5.0));
// The surface normal can now also be specified when using `new`
let after = meshes.add(Plane3d::default().mesh().size(5.0, 5.0));
let before = meshes.add(
Mesh::try_from(shape::Icosphere {
radius: 0.5,
subdivisions: 5,
})
.unwrap(),
);
let after = meshes.add(Sphere::new(0.5).mesh().ico(5).unwrap());
```
# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# 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...
# Objective
Right now, all assets in the main world get extracted and prepared in
the render world (if the asset's using the RenderAssetPlugin). This is
unfortunate for two cases:
1. **TextureAtlas** / **FontAtlas**: This one's huge. The individual
`Image` assets that make up the atlas are cloned and prepared
individually when there's no reason for them to be. The atlas textures
are built on the CPU in the main world. *There can be hundreds of images
that get prepared for rendering only not to be used.*
2. If one loads an Image and needs to transform it in a system before
rendering it, kind of like the [decompression
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/asset/asset_decompression.rs#L120),
there's a price paid for extracting & preparing the asset that's not
intended to be rendered yet.
------
* References #10520
* References #1782
## Solution
This changes the `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy` enum to bitflags. I felt
that the objective with the parameter is so similar in nature to wgpu's
[`TextureUsages`](https://docs.rs/wgpu/latest/wgpu/struct.TextureUsages.html)
and
[`BufferUsages`](https://docs.rs/wgpu/latest/wgpu/struct.BufferUsages.html),
that it may as well be just like that.
```rust
// This asset only needs to be in the main world. Don't extract and prepare it.
RenderAssetUsages::MAIN_WORLD
// Keep this asset in the main world and
RenderAssetUsages::MAIN_WORLD | RenderAssetUsages::RENDER_WORLD
// This asset is only needed in the render world. Remove it from the asset server once extracted.
RenderAssetUsages::RENDER_WORLD
```
### Alternate Solution
I considered introducing a third field to `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy`
enum:
```rust
enum RenderAssetPersistencePolicy {
/// Keep the asset in the main world after extracting to the render world.
Keep,
/// Remove the asset from the main world after extracting to the render world.
Unload,
/// This doesn't need to be in the render world at all.
NoExtract, // <-----
}
```
Functional, but this seemed like shoehorning. Another option is renaming
the enum to something like:
```rust
enum RenderAssetExtractionPolicy {
/// Extract the asset and keep it in the main world.
Extract,
/// Remove the asset from the main world after extracting to the render world.
ExtractAndUnload,
/// This doesn't need to be in the render world at all.
NoExtract,
}
```
I think this last one could be a good option if the bitflags are too
clunky.
## Migration Guide
* `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` → `RenderAssetUsage::MAIN_WORLD |
RenderAssetUsage::RENDER_WORLD` (or `RenderAssetUsage::default()`)
* `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload` →
`RenderAssetUsage::RENDER_WORLD`
* For types implementing the `RenderAsset` trait, change `fn
persistence_policy(&self) -> RenderAssetPersistencePolicy` to `fn
asset_usage(&self) -> RenderAssetUsages`.
* Change any references to `cpu_persistent_access`
(`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy`) to `asset_usage` (`RenderAssetUsage`).
This applies to `Image`, `Mesh`, and a few other types.
# Objective
> Can anyone explain to me the reasoning of renaming all the types named
Query to Data. I'm talking about this PR
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10779 It doesn't make sense to
me that a bunch of types that are used to run queries aren't named Query
anymore. Like ViewQuery on the ViewNode is the type of the Query. I
don't really understand the point of the rename, it just seems like it
hides the fact that a query will run based on those types.

## Solution
Revert several renames in #10779.
## Changelog
- `ViewNode::ViewData` is now `ViewNode::ViewQuery` again.

# Objective
- Add the ability to describe storage texture bindings when deriving
`AsBindGroup`.
- This is especially valuable for the compute story of bevy which
deserves some extra love imo.
## Solution
- This add the ability to annotate struct fields with a
`#[storage_texture(0)]` annotation.
- Instead of adding specific option parsing for all the image formats
and access modes, I simply accept a token stream and defer checking to
see if the option is valid to the compiler. This still results in useful
and friendly errors and is free to maintain and always compatible with
wgpu changes.
---
## Changelog
- The `#[storage_texture(..)]` annotation is now accepted for fields of
`Handle<Image>` in structs that derive `AsBindGroup`.
- The game_of_life compute shader example has been updated to use
`AsBindGroup` together with `[storage_texture(..)]` to obtain the
`BindGroupLayout`.
## Migration Guide
Rebased and finished version of
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8407. Huge thanks to @GitGhillie
for adjusting all the examples, and the many other people who helped
write this PR (@superdump , @coreh , among others) :)
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8369
---
## Changelog
- Added a `brightness` control to `Skybox`.
- Added an `intensity` control to `EnvironmentMapLight`.
- Added `ExposureSettings` and `PhysicalCameraParameters` for
controlling exposure of 3D cameras.
- Removed the baked-in `DirectionalLight` exposure Bevy previously
hardcoded internally.
## Migration Guide
- If using a `Skybox` or `EnvironmentMapLight`, use the new `brightness`
and `intensity` controls to adjust their strength.
- All 3D scene will now have different apparent brightnesses due to Bevy
implementing proper exposure controls. You will have to adjust the
intensity of your lights and/or your camera exposure via the new
`ExposureSettings` component to compensate.

# Motivation
When spawning entities into a scene, it is very common to create assets
like meshes and materials and to add them via asset handles. A common
setup might look like this:
```rust
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
) {
commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
..default()
});
}
```
Let's take a closer look at the part that adds the assets using `add`.
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
material: materials.add(StandardMaterial::from(Color::RED)),
```
Here, "mesh" and "material" are both repeated three times. It's very
explicit, but I find it to be a bit verbose. In addition to being more
code to read and write, the extra characters can sometimes also lead to
the code being formatted to span multiple lines even though the core
task, adding e.g. a primitive mesh, is extremely simple.
A way to address this is by using `.into()`:
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),
material: materials.add(Color::RED.into()),
```
This is fine, but from the names and the type of `meshes`, we already
know what the type should be. It's very clear that `Cube` should be
turned into a `Mesh` because of the context it's used in. `.into()` is
just seven characters, but it's so common that it quickly adds up and
gets annoying.
It would be nice if you could skip all of the conversion and let Bevy
handle it for you:
```rust
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
material: materials.add(Color::RED),
```
# Objective
Make adding assets more ergonomic by making `Assets::add` take an `impl
Into<A>` instead of `A`.
## Solution
`Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`, so e.g. this
works:
```rust
commands.spawn(PbrBundle {
mesh: meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
material: materials.add(Color::RED),
..default()
});
```
I also changed all examples to use this API, which increases consistency
as well because `Mesh::from` and `into` were being used arbitrarily even
in the same file. This also gets rid of some lines of code because
formatting is nicer.
---
## Changelog
- `Assets::add` now takes an `impl Into<A>` instead of `A`
- Examples don't use `T::from(K)` or `K.into()` when adding assets
## Migration Guide
Some `into` calls that worked previously might now be broken because of
the new trait bounds. You need to either remove `into` or perform the
conversion explicitly with `from`:
```rust
// Doesn't compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }.into()),
// These compile
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 }),
let mesh_handle = meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: 1.0 })),
```
## Concerns
I believe the primary concerns might be:
1. Is this too implicit?
2. Does this increase codegen bloat?
Previously, the two APIs were using `into` or `from`, and now it's
"nothing" or `from`. You could argue that `into` is slightly more
explicit than "nothing" in cases like the earlier examples where a
`Color` gets converted to e.g. a `StandardMaterial`, but I personally
don't think `into` adds much value even in this case, and you could
still see the actual type from the asset type.
As for codegen bloat, I doubt it adds that much, but I'm not very
familiar with the details of codegen. I personally value the user-facing
code reduction and ergonomics improvements that these changes would
provide, but it might be worth checking the other effects in more
detail.
Another slight concern is migration pain; apps might have a ton of
`into` calls that would need to be removed, and it did take me a while
to do so for Bevy itself (maybe around 20-40 minutes). However, I think
the fact that there *are* so many `into` calls just highlights that the
API could be made nicer, and I'd gladly migrate my own projects for it.
# Objective
- No point in keeping Meshes/Images in RAM once they're going to be sent
to the GPU, and kept in VRAM. This saves a _significant_ amount of
memory (several GBs) on scenes like bistro.

## Solution
- Augment RenderAsset with the capability to unload the underlying asset
after extracting to the render world.
- Mesh/Image now have a cpu_persistent_access field. If this field is
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload, the asset will be unloaded from
Assets<T>.
- A new AssetEvent is sent upon dropping the last strong handle for the
asset, which signals to the RenderAsset to remove the GPU version of the
asset.
---
## Changelog
- Added `AssetEvent::NoLongerUsed` and
`AssetEvent::is_no_longer_used()`. This event is sent when the last
strong handle of an asset is dropped.
- Rewrote the API for `RenderAsset` to allow for unloading the asset
data from the CPU.
- Added `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy`.
- Added `Mesh::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `Image::cpu_persistent_access` for memory savings when the asset
is not needed except for on the GPU.
- Added `ImageLoaderSettings::cpu_persistent_access`.
- Added `ExrTextureLoaderSettings`.
- Added `HdrTextureLoaderSettings`.
## Migration Guide
- Asset loaders (GLTF, etc) now load meshes and textures without
`cpu_persistent_access`. These assets will be removed from
`Assets<Mesh>` and `Assets<Image>` once `RenderAssets<Mesh>` and
`RenderAssets<Image>` contain the GPU versions of these assets, in order
to reduce memory usage. If you require access to the asset data from the
CPU in future frames after the GLTF asset has been loaded, modify all
dependent `Mesh` and `Image` assets and set `cpu_persistent_access` to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`.
- `Mesh` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `Image` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access` field. Set it to
`RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the previous behavior.
- `MorphTargetImage::new()` now requires a new `cpu_persistent_access`
parameter. Set it to `RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep` to mimic the
previous behavior.
- `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder::add_texture()` now requires that the
`TextureAtlas` you pass has an `Image` with `cpu_persistent_access:
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Keep`. Ensure you construct the image
properly for the texture atlas.
- The `RenderAsset` trait has significantly changed, and requires
adapting your existing implementations.
- The trait now requires `Clone`.
- The `ExtractedAsset` associated type has been removed (the type itself
is now extracted).
- The signature of `prepare_asset()` is slightly different
- A new `persistence_policy()` method is now required (return
RenderAssetPersistencePolicy::Unload to match the previous behavior).
- Match on the new `NoLongerUsed` variant for exhaustive matches of
`AssetEvent`.
# Objective
- Custom render passes, or future passes in the engine (such as
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10164) need a better way to know
and indicate to the core passes whether the view color/depth/prepass
attachments have been cleared or not yet this frame, to know if they
should clear it themselves or load it.
## Solution
- For all render targets (depth textures, shadow textures, prepass
textures, main textures) use an atomic bool to track whether or not each
texture has been cleared this frame. Abstracted away in the new
ColorAttachment and DepthAttachment wrappers.
---
## Changelog
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()`, removed arguments.
- Changed `ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`, removed
arguments.
- Removed `Camera3d::clear_color`.
- Removed `Camera2d::clear_color`.
- Added `Camera::clear_color`.
- Added `ExtractedCamera::clear_color`.
- Added `ColorAttachment` and `DepthAttachment` wrappers.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- Core render passes now track when a texture is first bound as an
attachment in order to decide whether to clear or load it.
## Migration Guide
- Remove arguments to `ViewTarget::get_color_attachment()` and
`ViewTarget::get_unsampled_color_attachment()`.
- Configure clear color on `Camera` instead of on `Camera3d` and
`Camera2d`.
- Moved `ClearColor` and `ClearColorConfig` from
`bevy::core_pipeline::clear_color` to `bevy::render::camera`.
- `ViewDepthTexture` must now be created via the `new()` method

# Objective
Keep up to date with wgpu.
## Solution
Update the wgpu version.
Currently blocked on naga_oil updating to naga 0.14 and releasing a new
version.
3d scenes (or maybe any scene with lighting?) currently don't render
anything due to
```
error: naga_oil bug, please file a report: composer failed to build a valid header: Type [2] '' is invalid
= Capability Capabilities(CUBE_ARRAY_TEXTURES) is required
```
I'm not sure what should be passed in for `wgpu::InstanceFlags`, or if we want to make the gles3minorversion configurable (might be useful for debugging?)
Currently blocked on https://github.com/bevyengine/naga_oil/pull/63, and https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/4569 to be fixed upstream in wgpu first.
## Known issues
Amd+windows+vulkan has issues with texture_binding_arrays (see the image [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10266#issuecomment-1819946278)), but that'll be fixed in the next wgpu/naga version, and you can just use dx12 as a workaround for now (Amd+linux mesa+vulkan texture_binding_arrays are fixed though).
---
## Changelog
Updated wgpu to 0.18, naga to 0.14.2, and naga_oil to 0.11.
- Windows desktop GL should now be less painful as it no longer requires Angle.
- You can now toggle shader validation and debug information for debug and release builds using `WgpuSettings.instance_flags` and [InstanceFlags](https://docs.rs/wgpu/0.18.0/wgpu/struct.InstanceFlags.html)
## Migration Guide
- `RenderPassDescriptor` `color_attachments` (as well as `RenderPassColorAttachment`, and `RenderPassDepthStencilAttachment`) now use `StoreOp::Store` or `StoreOp::Discard` instead of a `boolean` to declare whether or not they should be stored.
- `RenderPassDescriptor` now have `timestamp_writes` and `occlusion_query_set` fields. These can safely be set to `None`.
- `ComputePassDescriptor` now have a `timestamp_writes` field. This can be set to `None` for now.
- See the [wgpu changelog](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md#v0180-2023-10-25) for additional details
# Objective
- Resolves#10853
## Solution
- ~~Changed the name of `Input` struct to `PressableInput`.~~
- Changed the name of `Input` struct to `ButtonInput`.
## Migration Guide
- Breaking Change: Users need to rename `Input` to `ButtonInput` in
their projects.
# Objective
- Materials should be a more frequent rebind then meshes (due to being
able to use a single vertex buffer, such as in #10164) and therefore
should be in a higher bind group.
---
## Changelog
- For 2d and 3d mesh/material setups (but not UI materials, or other
rendering setups such as gizmos, sprites, or text), mesh data is now in
bind group 1, and material data is now in bind group 2, which is swapped
from how they were before.
## Migration Guide
- Custom 2d and 3d mesh/material shaders should now use bind group 2
`@group(2) @binding(x)` for their bound resources, instead of bind group
1.
- Many internal pieces of rendering code have changed so that mesh data
is now in bind group 1, and material data is now in bind group 2.
Semi-custom rendering setups (that don't use the Material or Material2d
APIs) should adapt to these changes.
# 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.
# Objective
- Follow up to #9694
## Solution
- Same api as #9694 but adapted for `BindGroupLayoutEntry`
- Use the same `ShaderStages` visibilty for all entries by default
- Add `BindingType` helper function that mirror the wgsl equivalent and
that make writing layouts much simpler.
Before:
```rust
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor {
label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"),
entries: &[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 0,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Texture {
sample_type: TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true },
view_dimension: TextureViewDimension::D2,
multisampled: false,
},
count: None,
},
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 1,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering),
count: None,
},
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
binding: 2,
visibility: ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
ty: BindingType::Buffer {
ty: bevy::render::render_resource::BufferBindingType::Uniform,
has_dynamic_offset: false,
min_binding_size: Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size()),
},
count: None,
},
],
});
```
After:
```rust
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(
"post_process_bind_group_layout"),
&BindGroupLayoutEntries::sequential(
ShaderStages::FRAGMENT,
(
texture_2d_f32(),
sampler(SamplerBindingType::Filtering),
uniform_buffer(false, Some(PostProcessSettings::min_size())),
),
),
);
```
Here's a more extreme example in bevy_solari:

---
## Changelog
- Added `BindGroupLayoutEntries` and all `BindingType` helper functions.
## Migration Guide
`RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` doesn't take a
`BindGroupLayoutDescriptor` anymore. You need to provide the parameters
separately
```rust
// 0.12
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(&BindGroupLayoutDescriptor {
label: Some("post_process_bind_group_layout"),
entries: &[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
// ...
},
],
});
// 0.13
let layout = render_device.create_bind_group_layout(
"post_process_bind_group_layout",
&[
BindGroupLayoutEntry {
// ...
},
],
);
```
## TODO
- [x] implement a `Dynamic` variant
- [x] update the `RenderDevice::create_bind_group_layout()` api to match
the one from `RenderDevice::creat_bind_group()`
- [x] docs
# Objective
I tried setting `ClearColorConfig` in my app via `Color::FOO.into()`
expecting it to work, but the impl was missing.
## Solution
- Add `impl From<Color> for ClearColorConfig`
- Change examples to use this impl
## Changelog
### Added
- `ClearColorConfig` can be constructed via `.into()` on a `Color`

# Objective
- The current shader code is misleading since it makes it look like a
struct is passed to the bind group 0 but in reality only the color is
passed. They just happen to have the exact same memory layout so wgsl
doesn't complain and it works.
- The struct is defined after the `impl Material` block which is
backwards from pretty much every other usage of the `impl` block in
bevy.
## Solution
- Remove the unnecessary struct in the shader
- move the impl block
# Objective
- Ensure ExtendedMaterial can be referenced in bevy_egui_inspector
correctly
## Solution
Add a more manual `TypePath` implementation to work around bugs in the
derive macro.
# Objective
- The example says it will only run on a camera with the
`PostProcessingSettings` component but the node never filters it.
## Solution
- Add the component to the `ViewQuery`
closes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10541
# Objective
- 2d materials have subtle differences with 3d materials that aren't
obvious to beginners
## Solution
- Add an example that shows how to make a 2d material
# Objective
- Changes the default clear color to match the code block color on
Bevy's website.
## Solution
- Changed the clear color, updated text in examples to ensure adequate
contrast. Inconsistent usage of white text color set to use the default
color instead, which is already white.
- Additionally, updated the `3d_scene` example to make it look a bit
better, and use bevy's branding colors.
