- Refactor D3D12 backend and RenderGraph module
- Update graphics RHI and core rendering components
- Add Random.hlsl shader include
- Regenerate API documentation and update user guides
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.
Refactor meshlet data structures to use packed uint triangle indices, update meshlet cooking and upload logic, and align HLSL mesh shader. Add MeshRenderPass with bindless rendering and blit support. Improve RenderExtractionSystem, RootSignatureLayout, and TestRenderPipeline. Update GraphicsTestWindow for new pipeline and meshlet logic. Includes code cleanups and comments.
Introduce TestRenderPipeline and settings, replacing MeshRenderPass.
The new pipeline manages per-frame instance, view, and global data buffers,
and uploads them for each render request. Refactor GraphicsTestWindow to use
ECS World, setting up camera and mesh entities. Remove MeshRenderPass and
related demo code. Add TotalRecordCount to RenderList, new data structs for
buffer uploads, and static masks to RenderingLayerMask. Update project
references and InternalsVisibleTo for Ghost.Graphics.Test access.
Refactor RenderSystem to store render requests per-frame within FrameResource, improving encapsulation and resource management. Update render loop and AddRenderRequest to use the new structure, ensuring proper disposal and clearing of requests to prevent memory leaks. Remove the old global renderRequests array and update Dispose logic accordingly.
Add spin lock-based thread safety to D3D12ResourceDatabase for AddResource/AddAllocation, and introduce EnterParallelRead/ExitParallelRead methods for explicit locking.
Enhance RenderExtractionSystem and Material to support transparent render lists and a MaterialRenderType property, preparing for advanced rendering features. Includes minor code cleanups and comment improvements.
Refactored D3D12 resource and command management with a new D3D12Object<T> base class for unified lifetime and naming of COM objects. Introduced pooled command buffer and resource management in D3D12GraphicsEngine and ResourceManager, using frame-based return queues for safe reuse. Updated RenderSystem to use pooled command buffers and render requests, and to properly dispose of per-frame resources. Changed frame synchronization and resource release logic to use ulong fence/frame values for improved robustness. Refactored swap chain to DXGISwapChain and improved error handling and code clarity. Removed renderer management from IGraphicsEngine. Changed ResourceDesc, TextureDesc, and BufferDesc to record structs with equality and hashing for pooling.
BREAKING CHANGE: Renderer management APIs removed from IGraphicsEngine. Frame and resource synchronization now use ulong instead of uint. Resource pooling and command buffer pooling are now required for correct usage.
