Allow phase items not associated with meshes to be binned. (#14029)
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. |

Make render phases render world resources instead of components. (#13277)
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. |

Implement GPU frustum culling. (#12889)
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`. |

Fix 2D BatchedInstanceBuffer clear (#12922)
# Objective - `cargo run --release --example bevymark -- --benchmark --waves 160 --per-wave 1000 --mode mesh2d` runs slower and slower over time due to `no_gpu_preprocessing::write_batched_instance_buffer<bevy_sprite::mesh2d::mesh::Mesh2dPipeline>` taking longer and longer because the `BatchedInstanceBuffer` is not cleared ## Solution - Split the `clear_batched_instance_buffers` system into CPU and GPU versions - Use the CPU version for 2D meshes |

Generate MeshUniforms on the GPU via compute shader where available. (#12773)
Currently, `MeshUniform`s are rather large: 160 bytes. They're also somewhat expensive to compute, because they involve taking the inverse of a 3x4 matrix. Finally, if a mesh is present in multiple views, that mesh will have a separate `MeshUniform` for each and every view, which is wasteful. This commit fixes these issues by introducing the concept of a *mesh input uniform* and adding a *mesh uniform building* compute shader pass. The `MeshInputUniform` is simply the minimum amount of data needed for the GPU to compute the full `MeshUniform`. Most of this data is just the transform and is therefore only 64 bytes. `MeshInputUniform`s are computed during the *extraction* phase, much like skins are today, in order to avoid needlessly copying transforms around on CPU. (In fact, the render app has been changed to only store the translation of each mesh; it no longer cares about any other part of the transform, which is stored only on the GPU and the main world.) Before rendering, the `build_mesh_uniforms` pass runs to expand the `MeshInputUniform`s to the full `MeshUniform`. The mesh uniform building pass does the following, all on GPU: 1. Copy the appropriate fields of the `MeshInputUniform` to the `MeshUniform` slot. If a single mesh is present in multiple views, this effectively duplicates it into each view. 2. Compute the inverse transpose of the model transform, used for transforming normals. 3. If applicable, copy the mesh's transform from the previous frame for TAA. To support this, we double-buffer the `MeshInputUniform`s over two frames and swap the buffers each frame. The `MeshInputUniform`s for the current frame contain the index of that mesh's `MeshInputUniform` for the previous frame. This commit produces wins in virtually every CPU part of the pipeline: `extract_meshes`, `queue_material_meshes`, `batch_and_prepare_render_phase`, and especially `write_batched_instance_buffer` are all faster. Shrinking the amount of CPU data that has to be shuffled around speeds up the entire rendering process. | Benchmark | This branch | `main` | Speedup | |------------------------|-------------|---------|---------| | `many_cubes -nfc` | 17.259 | 24.529 | 42.12% | | `many_cubes -nfc -vpi` | 302.116 | 312.123 | 3.31% | | `many_foxes` | 3.227 | 3.515 | 8.92% | Because mesh uniform building requires compute shader, and WebGL 2 has no compute shader, the existing CPU mesh uniform building code has been left as-is. Many types now have both CPU mesh uniform building and GPU mesh uniform building modes. Developers can opt into the old CPU mesh uniform building by setting the `use_gpu_uniform_builder` option on `PbrPlugin` to `false`. Below are graphs of the CPU portions of `many-cubes --no-frustum-culling`. Yellow is this branch, red is `main`. `extract_meshes`:  It's notable that we get a small win even though we're now writing to a GPU buffer. `queue_material_meshes`:  There's a bit of a regression here; not sure what's causing it. In any case it's very outweighed by the other gains. `batch_and_prepare_render_phase`:  There's a huge win here, enough to make batching basically drop off the profile. `write_batched_instance_buffer`:  There's a massive improvement here, as expected. Note that a lot of it simply comes from the fact that `MeshInputUniform` is `Pod`. (This isn't a maintainability problem in my view because `MeshInputUniform` is so simple: just 16 tightly-packed words.) ## Changelog ### Added * Per-mesh instance data is now generated on GPU with a compute shader instead of CPU, resulting in rendering performance improvements on platforms where compute shaders are supported. ## Migration guide * Custom render phases now need multiple systems beyond just `batch_and_prepare_render_phase`. Code that was previously creating custom render phases should now add a `BinnedRenderPhasePlugin` or `SortedRenderPhasePlugin` as appropriate instead of directly adding `batch_and_prepare_render_phase`. |
