This is being conservative, right? If the MAX_CASCADES_PER_LIGHT is higher than the actual then we're leaving some array layers empty, potentially. This is fine, just want to check my understanding.

Yes this is conservative. I think it's addressable, but the PR is relatively large already so I will try and tackle in a follow up.
Performance seems to be very poor on this PR with shadows enabled even on a fairly simple scene like the flight helmet using the |
Interesting, I will take a closer look as to why |
As a note, this is on an M1 Max. I'm continuing investigations on Discord as it will be noisy to spam random findings here. :) |
With changes like those in #7069 also for the scope of this PR we were able to keep performance in check. :) |
I made changes to the shader to follow what #7069 did specifically for directional shadowing code that I modified, left the rest of the optimizations to that PR. |
I'll give this another review pass when I can. |
# Objective - The #7064 PR had poor performance on an M1 Max in MacOS due to significant overuse of registers resulting in 'register spilling' where data that would normally be stored in registers on the GPU is instead stored in VRAM. The latency to read from/write to VRAM instead of registers incurs a significant performance penalty. - Use of registers is a limiting factor in shader performance. Assignment of a struct from memory to a local variable can incur copies. Passing a variable that has struct type as an argument to a function can also incur copies. As such, these two cases can incur increased register usage and decreased performance. ## Solution - Remove/avoid a number of assignments of light struct type data to local variables. - Remove/avoid a number of passing light struct type variables/data as value arguments to shader functions.
I tried comparing example output.mp4Shadow borders are sometime less clean, and there's something strange happening in the back at 5 seconds |
Good catch @mockersf ! The aliased edges is a cascade bound tweaking issue. By default we're configuring 4 cascades with the first cascade far bound at 5 units, and the last at 1000 units. This scene is small so 1000 units is way too much. But also we probably just want to adjust a bit to something that looks good out of the box with the current 2x2 Percentage Closer Filtering (using multiple samples of the shadow map to filter the edges). However, the bug in the back behind the wall is something we will need to fix. It looks like the red and blue light are making it through the wall... |
WASM also has something funny: cascaded-wasm.mp4 |
Ah, for WASM (which I assume uses the But I think WASM users are going to have to manually configure the far bound for best results still. since achieving a tight bound is important for quality vs shadow map resolution. |
I will look into what's going on with the point lights bleeding through the wall. |

This looks pretty good to me. I'm going to do a bit more testing locally but my finger is hovering over approval. We can rebase after #6284 is merged.

Probably also tweak the cascades here so this one looks good. It's kind of the fanciest-looking in-repo PBR example.
Should there be a warning or something when In a test scene where the camera was pretty far from the action, bumping that value up resulted in shadows mysteriously disappearing (as only the first 4 cascades were used?). |
That's a good idea, will look into it. |

I've tweaked load_gltf to shrink the distances which improves quality, and have rebased. |
I have a couple doc suggestions. In a scenario like a 2.5d/3d strategy game where the camera is potentially very far away from the action, is my only option for increasing shadow map waste tweaking And am I right that this is effectively only pushing the end of the first cascade, potentially covering my objects with more cascades, but still wasting the entire first cascade? Maybe this diagram will help:
(Don't need to block on this) edit: A previous version of this comment had the cascade sizes reversed in the diagram. |

i think the camera projection near plane could be used for that. i haven't tested it but the cascades are built from frustum corners which will depend on the near plane. |
That makes sense, thanks. I do think the docs could be a bit clearer on this. |
I hear you that for a top-down/isometric type game, a different approach might indeed be useful. However, I think given there is low distribution of objects over camera depth versus distribution in screen space, the only thing that will really matter for such cases would be shadow map resolution. Then you could use a single cascade and higher shadow map texture resolution.
That is what adjusting the nearest bound would do, yes.
Good point. And perhaps we could elaborate with suggestions of when to use multiple cascades and exceptions of when to use fewer or one or so.
Also a good point, thanks for the feedback! |
I suppose with an isometric-type view with the camera high above the action, the closest object to the camera would be at a greater distance from the camera and then as you pointed out, it would be good to not try to encompass the camera origin in the shadow mapping. Which then goes to what robtfm was saying about moving the projection's near plane, which defines the view frustum. It is probably worth someone making a test case for it and trying to put together something that works well. It's not completely clear what the recommendation would be though and I don't really want to hold up this PR. We can iterate on documentation I think. |

## How This Works For the Bevy 0.10 release blog post (and for the first time ever), I'm publicly opening the doors to other people writing blog post sections. Specifically, if you worked on a feature in a substantial way and are interested in presenting it, you can now ask to claim a section by leaving a comment in this PR. If you claim a section, submit a pull request to the `release-0.10.0` branch in this repo. For the next week, we will be filling in sections (the release target is Saturday March 4th). Please don't claim a section if you don't plan on completing it within that timeline. Also don't claim a section if you weren't an active participant in the design and implementation of the change (unless you are a Maintainer or SME). I will claim any unclaimed sections. Try to match the style of previous release blog posts as much as possible. 1. Show, don't tell. Don't bombard people with information. Avoid large walls of text _and_ large walls of code. Prefer the pattern "byte sized description of one thing" -> "example code/picture/video contextualizing that one thing" -> repeat. Take readers on a journey step by simple step. 2. Don't use up reader's "mental bandwidth" without good reason. We can't afford page-long descriptions of minor bug fixes. If it isn't a "headliner change", keep the description short and sweet. If a change is self describing, let it do that (ex: We now support this new mesh shape primitive ... this is what it looks like). If it is a "headliner change", still try to keep it reasonable. We always have a lot to cover. 3. In slight competition with point (2), don't omit interesting technical information when it is truly fun and engaging. A good chunk of our users are highly technical and enjoy learning how the sausage is made. Try to strike a balance between "terse and simple" and "nerdy details". 4. When relevant, briefly describe the problem being solved first, then describe the solution we chose. This contextualizes the change and gives the feature value and purpose. 5. When possible, provide visuals. They create interest / keep people hooked / break up the monotony. 6. Record images and videos at the default bevy resolution (1280x720) 7. Provide an accurate listing of authors that meaningfully contributed to the feature. Try to sort in order of "contribution scale". This is hard to define, but try to be fair. When in doubt, ask other contributors, SMEs, and/or maintainers. 8. Provide numbers and graphs where possible. If something is faster, use numbers to back it up. We don't (yet) have automated graph generation in blog post style, so send data / info to me (@cart) if you want a graph made. ## Headliners Headliners are our "big ticket high importance / high profile" changes. They are listed briefly at the beginning of the blog post, their entries are roughly sorted "to the top", and they are given priority when it comes to "space in the blog post". If you think we missed something (or didn't prioritize something appropriately), let us know. * ECS Schedule v3 (previously known as "stageless") * Partial Android Support * Depth and Normal Prepass * Environment Map Lighting * Cascaded Shadow Maps * Distance and Atmospheric Fog * Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions * Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering * Windows as Entities * Renderer Optimizations * ECS Optimizations ## Sections These are the sections we will cover in the blog post. If a section has been claimed, it will have `(claimed by X)` in the title. If it is unclaimed it will have `(unclaimed)` in the title. Let us know if we missed a section. We don't cover every feature, but we should cover pretty much everything that would be interesting to users. Note that what is interesting or challenging to implement is not necessarily something that is relevant to our blog post readers. And sometimes the reverse is true! If you believe a section should be split up or reorganized, just bring it up here and we can discuss it. ### ~~Schedule V3 (claimed by @alice-i-cecile)~~ * [Migrate engine to Schedule v3][7267] * [Add `bevy_ecs::schedule_v3` module][6587] * [Stageless: fix unapplied systems][7446] * [Stageless: move final apply outside of spawned executor][7445] * Sets * Base Sets * [Base Sets][7466] * Reporting * [Report sets][7756] * [beter cycle reporting][7463] * Run Conditions * [Add condition negation][7559] * [And/Or][7605] * [Add more common run conditions][7579] * States * [States derive macro][7535] * System Piping Flexibility * [Support piping exclusive systems][7023] * [Allow piping run conditions][7547] ### ~~Depth and Normal Prepass (claimed by @IceSentry)~~ * [Add depth and normal prepass][6284] * [Move prepass functions to prepass_utils][7354] ### ~~Distance and Atmospheric Fog (claimed by @coreh)~~ * [Add Distance and Atmospheric Fog support][6412] ### ~~Cascaded Shadow Maps (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Cascaded shadow maps.][7064] * [Better cascades config defaults + builder, tweak example configs][7456] ### ~~Environment Map Lighting (claimed by @cart)~~ * [EnvironmentMapLight, BRDF Improvements][7051] * [Webgl2 support][7737] ### ~~Tonemapping options (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Initial tonemapping options][7594] ### ~~Android support + unification (claimed by @mockersf)~~ * [IOS, Android... same thing][7493] ### ~~Windows as Entities (claimed by @Aceeri)~~ * [Windows as Entities][5589] * [break feedback loop when moving cursor][7298] * [Fix `Window` feedback loop between the OS and Bevy][7517] ### ~~Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Pipelined Rendering][6503] * [Stageless: add a method to scope to always run a task on the scope thread][7415] * [Separate Extract from Sub App Schedule][7046] ### ~~Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Smooth Transition between Animations][6922] ### ~~Spatial Audio (claimed by @harudagondi)~~ * [Spatial Audio][6028] ### ~~Shader Processor Features (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Shader defs can now have a value][5900] * [Shaders can now have #else ifdef chains][7431] * [Define shader defs in shader][7518] ### ~~Shader Flexibility Improvements (claimed by @cart)~~ * [add ambient lighting hook][5428] * [Refactor Globals and View structs into separate shaders][7512] ### ~~Renderer Optimizations (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [bevy_pbr: Avoid copying structs and using registers in shaders][7069] * [Flatten render commands][6885] * [Replace UUID based IDs with a atomic-counted ones][6988] * [improve compile time by type-erasing wgpu structs][5950] * [Shrink DrawFunctionId][6944] * [Shrink ComputedVisibility][6305] * [Reduce branching in TrackedRenderPass][7053] * [Make PipelineCache internally mutable.][7205] * [Improve `Color::hex` performance][6940] * [Support recording multiple CommandBuffers in RenderContext][7248] * [Parallelized transform propagation][4775] * [Introduce detailed_trace macro, use in TrackedRenderPass][7639] * [Optimize color computation in prepare_uinodes][7311] * [Directly extract joints into SkinnedMeshJoints][6833] * [Parallelize forward kinematics animation systems][6785] * [Move system_commands spans into apply_buffers][6900] * [Reduce the use of atomics in the render phase][7084] ### ~~ECS Optimizations (claimed by @james7132 )~~ * [Remove redundant table and sparse set component IDs from Archetype][4927] * [Immutable sparse sets for metadata storage][4928] * [Replace BlobVec's swap_scratch with a swap_nonoverlapping][4853] * [Use T::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE to optimize out unused branches][6800] * [Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion][6902] * [Split Component Ticks][6547] * [use bevy_utils::HashMap for better performance.

Objective
Implements cascaded shadow maps for directional lights, which produces better quality shadows without needing excessively large shadow maps.
Fixes #3629
Before
After
Solution
Rather than rendering a single shadow map for directional light, the view frustum is divided into a series of cascades, each of which gets its own shadow map. The correct cascade is then sampled for shadow determination.
Changelog
Directional lights now use cascaded shadow maps for improved shadow quality.
Migration Guide
You no longer have to manually specify a
shadow_projection
for a directional light, and these settings should be removed. If customization of how cascaded shadow maps work is desired, modify theCascadeShadowConfig
component instead.
