Refactored Vertex to use float3 position/normal, float2 uv, float4 tangent, and Color128 color, updating all mesh generation and HLSL code accordingly. Added MeshUtility for loading .obj/.fbx meshes with deduplication and normal/tangent computation. Updated GraphicsTestWindow to use the new loader and improved resource management. Fixed D3D12ResourceAllocator resource creation logic, improved camera projection math, and simplified RenderingLayerMask. Updated package references and app display name.
BREAKING CHANGE: Vertex struct layout changed; all mesh code and shaders must use the new format.
Introduces meshlet-based rendering pipeline with new HLSL structures and push constant layouts. Refactors meshlet upload/cooking, updates RenderGraphContext for global/view/instance data, and enhances ECS QueryBuilder with ref returns and [UnscopedRef] for fluent chaining. Improves resource management and disposal patterns, updates D3D12 interop for compatibility, and refines test/app infrastructure. Includes dependency updates, bug fixes, and code cleanups.
- Introduce full managed C# wrapper for NVIDIA Texture Tools (nvtt) with safe handle classes, idiomatic APIs, and managed callback support.
- Integrate Ghost.Nvtt into Ghost.Editor.Core and Ghost.MicroTest; update TextureAssetHandler to use the new nvtt wrapper for texture compression.
- Add comprehensive end-to-end binding test (NvttBindingTest).
- Refactor D3D12 resource management: add deferred/immediate release APIs, update allocator/database usage, and ensure proper resource cleanup.
- Update project files for new native DLL layout and dependency versions.
- Minor API cleanups: EditorApplication properties, D3D12 input layout, and removal of obsolete code.
- Update shaders, tests, and documentation for new APIs and usage patterns.
