It looks like your PR is a breaking change, but you didn't provide a migration guide. Could you add some context on what users should update when this change get released in a new version of Bevy? |

I'm not convinced this merits the brainspace for a migration guide as the old default values are now unsuitable for pretty much every geometry. But I'll add one anyway. This is what the defaults looked like in Bevy 0.11 |
|
This could address the problem for this case but completely fail for other cases. This uses a larger normal bias which will compensate for some angles of the receiving surface versus the light direction, but will fail on others because the bias is applied to the fragment position and not the offset position. But, well, I haven’t had time to see through receiver plane depth bias, which is a totally standard technique. I guess it will come in 0.13. |

Fix branding inconsistencies don't Implement `Display` for `Val` (bevyengine#10345) - Revert bevyengine#10296 - Avoid implementing `Display` without a justification - `Display` implementation is a guarantee without a direct use, takes additional time to compile and require work to maintain - `Debug`, `Reflect` or `Serialize` should cover all needs Combine visibility queries in check_visibility_system (bevyengine#10196) Alternative to bevyengine#7310 Implemented the suggestion from bevyengine#7310 (comment) I am guessing that these were originally split as an optimization, but I am not sure since I believe the original author of the code is the one speculating about combining them up there. I ran three benchmarks to compare main, this PR, and the approach from ([updated](https://github.com/rparrett/bevy/commits/rebased-parallel-check-visibility) to the same commit on main). This seems to perform slightly better than main in scenarios where most entities have AABBs, and a bit worse when they don't (`many_lights`). That seems to make sense to me. Either way, the difference is ~-20 microseconds in the more common scenarios or ~+100 microseconds in the less common scenario. I would speculate that this might perform **very slightly** worse in single-threaded scenarios. Benches were run in release mode for 2000 frames while capturing a trace with tracy. | bench | commit | check_visibility_system mean μs | | -- | -- | -- | | many_cubes | main | 929.5 | | many_cubes | this | 914.0 | | many_cubes | 7310 | 1003.5 | | | | | many_foxes | main | 191.6 | | many_foxes | this | 173.2 | | many_foxes | 7310 | 167.9 | | | | | many_lights | main | 619.3 | | many_lights | this | 703.7 | | many_lights | 7310 | 842.5 | Technically this behaves slightly differently -- prior to this PR, view visibility was determined even for entities without `GlobalTransform`. I don't think this has any practical impact though. IMO, I don't think we need to do this. But I opened a PR because it seemed like the handiest way to share the code / benchmarks. I have done some rudimentary testing with the examples above, but I can do some screenshot diffing if it seems like we want to do this. Make VERTEX_COLORS usable in prepass shader, if available (bevyengine#10341) I was working with forward rendering prepass fragment shaders and ran into an issue of not being able to access vertex colors in the prepass. I was able to access vertex colors in regular fragment shaders as well as in deferred shaders. It seems like this `if` was nested unintentionally as moving it outside of the `deferred` block works. --- Enable vertex colors in forward rendering prepass fragment shaders allow DeferredPrepass to work without other prepass markers (bevyengine#10223) fix crash / misbehaviour when `DeferredPrepass` is used without `DepthPrepass`. - Deferred lighting requires the depth prepass texture to be present, so that the depth texture is available for binding. without it the deferred lighting pass will use 0 for depth of all meshes. - When `DeferredPrepass` is used without other prepass markers, and with any materials that use `OpaqueRenderMode::Forward`, those entities will try to queue to the `Opaque3dPrepass` render phase, which doesn't exist, causing a crash. - check if the prepass phases exist before queueing - generate prepass textures if `Opaque3dDeferred` is present - add a note to the DeferredPrepass marker to note that DepthPrepass is also required by the default deferred lighting pass - also changed some `With<T>.is_some()`s to `Has<T>`s UI batching Fix (bevyengine#9610) Reimplement bevyengine#8793 on top of the recent rendering changes. The batch creation logic is quite convoluted, but I tested it on enough examples to convince myself that it works. The initial value of `batch_image_handle` is changed from `HandleId::Id(Uuid::nil(), u64::MAX)` to `DEFAULT_IMAGE_HANDLE.id()`, which allowed me to make the if-block simpler I think. The default image from `DEFAULT_IMAGE_HANDLE` is always inserted into `UiImageBindGroups` even if it's not used. I tried to add a check so that it would be only inserted when there is only one batch using the default image but this crashed. --- `prepare_uinodes` * Changed the initial value of `batch_image_handle` to `DEFAULT_IMAGE_HANDLE.id()`. * The default image is added to the UI image bind groups before assembling the batches. * A new `UiBatch` isn't created when the next `ExtractedUiNode`s image is set to `DEFAULT_IMAGE_HANDLE` (unless it is the first item in the UI phase items list). Increase default normal bias to avoid common artifacts (bevyengine#10346) Bevy's default bias values for directional and spot lights currently cause significant artifacts. We should fix that so shadows look good by default! This is a less controversial/invasive alternative to bevyengine#10188, which might enable us to keep the default bias value low, but also has its own sets of concerns and caveats that make it a risky choice for Bevy 0.12. Bump the default normal bias from `0.6` to `1.8`. There is precedent for values in this general area as Godot has a default normal bias of `2.0`.   The default `shadow_normal_bias` value for `DirectionalLight` and `SpotLight` has changed to accommodate artifacts introduced with the new shadow PCF changes. It is unlikely (especially given the new PCF shadow behaviors with these values), but you might need to manually tweak this value if your scene requires a lower bias and it relied on the previous default value. Make `DirectionalLight` `Cascades` computation generic over `CameraProjection` (bevyengine#9226) Fixes bevyengine#9077 (see this issue for motivations) Implement 1 and 2 of the "How to fix it" section of bevyengine#9077 `update_directional_light_cascades` is split into `clear_directional_light_cascades` and a generic `build_directional_light_cascades`, to clear once and potentially insert many times. --- `DirectionalLight`'s computation is now generic over `CameraProjection` and can work with custom camera projections. If you have a component `MyCustomProjection` that implements `CameraProjection`: - You need to implement a new required associated method, `get_frustum_corners`, returning an array of the corners of a subset of the frustum with given `z_near` and `z_far`, in local camera space. - You can now add the `build_directional_light_cascades::<MyCustomProjection>` system in `SimulationLightSystems::UpdateDirectionalLightCascades` after `clear_directional_light_cascades` for your projection to work with directional lights. --------- Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com> Update default `ClearColor` to better match Bevy's branding (bevyengine#10339) - Changes the default clear color to match the code block color on Bevy's website. - 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.
