Introduces a new Ghost.Shader.Concept project implementing a modern, data-oriented material and shader system with:
- Global/local keyword bitsets (fast O(1) ops, 64 bytes)
- Multi-pass shader program and per-pass render state overrides
- Thread-safe, 16-byte aligned material property blocks
- Material pooling to reduce GC pressure
- Batch renderer for efficient PSO grouping and async variant warmup
- Full demo (Program.cs) and extensive documentation (ARCHITECTURE.md, README.md, PROJECT_SUMMARY.md)
- Minor integration: new enums, doc updates, and keyword handling in existing code
No breaking changes to the existing engine; all new code is isolated. This serves as a reference implementation for high-performance, extensible material/shader architectures.
- Replace old pipeline enums/structs with new strongly-typed PipelineState and enums (ZTest, ZWrite, Cull, Blend, ColorWriteMask)
- Redesign pipeline keying: introduce 128-bit GraphicsPipelineKey, MaterialPipelineKey, and PassPipelineKey for robust PSO caching
- Replace IRenderTargetStrategy with IRenderOutput; add SwapChainRenderOutput and TextureRenderOutput
- Update renderer and window code to use new render output abstraction and handle viewport/scissor updates
- Make ShaderPass a readonly struct and Shader a struct; use ID-based pass lookup for efficiency
- Materials now support per-pass pipeline overrides with new keying
- Add defensive checks in D3D12CommandBuffer; update D3D12PipelineLibrary for new keying/state
- Move test shader to test.gsdef and update for new pipeline state syntax
- Remove obsolete files/interfaces and perform general code cleanups
- Update all usages and parsing logic for new pipeline state system
Added implicate conversion to Result<T, E> and RefResult<T, E>;
Added new ScheduleChunkParallel in EntityQuery;
Remove Ghost.SparseEntity from solution file. It's now completlty replaced by Ghost.Entities;
Updated multiple components to improve encapsulation, maintainability, and performance. Key changes include:
- Upgraded package dependencies in project files.
- Refactored `Mesh` and `RenderingContext` to use properties and added support for per-object constant buffers.
- Improved resource management in `D3D12CommandBuffer`, `D3D12CommandQueue`, and `D3D12ResourceAllocator` with better encapsulation and disposal handling.
- Added validation for constant buffer sizes in `D3D12PipelineLibrary`.
- Simplified `MeshBuilder` methods to accept allocators and removed hardcoded values.
- Enhanced debugging with `GPUResourceLeakException` and resource tracking updates.
- Updated shaders and rendering logic for testing, including hardcoded triangle rendering.
- Removed redundant base classes and interfaces for cleaner code structure.
- Added `generatedCodePath` to `FullPassDescriptor` for better shader code organization.
- Removed redundant `IID_PPV_ARGS` method and unused `Misaki.HighPerformance.Unsafe` reference.
- Refactored `Material` and `MaterialAccessor` to use `CBuffer` and updated buffer size handling.
- Renamed command buffer variables in `RenderingContext` for consistency.
- Updated `D3D12PipelineLibrary` to cache compiled shader results and added `ShaderPassKey`.
- Refactored `D3D12GraphicsEngine` to integrate `_copyCommandBuffer` lifecycle.
- Enhanced `D3D12ResourceAllocator` with shader pass creation using constant buffer info.
- Simplified `D3D12ShaderCompiler` with `GENERATED_CODE_PATH` support and improved reflection handling.
- Introduced `CBufferPropertyInfo` and `CBufferInfo` structs for better encapsulation.
- Updated HLSL shaders to use `g_PerMaterialData` and dynamic includes.
- Improved error handling in `SDLCompiler` with try-catch blocks and better messages.
- Refactored `test.gshader` to use dynamically generated includes.
- Fixed typos, improved code readability, and removed unused code.
- Added new C# formatting rules in .editorconfig.
- Introduced `IKeyType`, `Key<T>`, and `Ptr<T>` structs.
- Updated `Result` and `Result<T>` for implicit conversions.
- Added AOT compatibility to project files.
- Introduced a `Camera` class and refactored namespaces.
- Enhanced rendering with bindless support and pipeline state management.
- Refactored `D3D12CommandBuffer` for new rendering features.
- Improved `D3D12PipelineLibrary` with disk caching methods.
- Added support for UAVs and raw buffers in `D3D12ResourceAllocator`.
- Improved shader compilation and reflection in `D3D12ShaderCompiler`.
- Refactored descriptor heap and swap chain initialization.
- Added enums and structs for rendering configurations.
- Expanded `ICommandBuffer` and `IPipelineLibrary` interfaces.
- Updated `MeshRenderPass` to align with the new pipeline.
- Consolidated namespaces and improved code maintainability.
