- Extend AssetCatalog for sub-asset tracking and management
- Update AssetRegistry and ImportCoordinator for sub-asset workflows
- Add mesh asset parsing, GPU upload, and resource management
- Update mesh data structures for meshlet groups/hierarchy and LODs
- Improve tests for sub-asset import and mesh handling
- Enhance mocks for mesh asset testing and resource mapping
- Fix path handling and native DLL loading issues
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and refactoring
Major overhaul of material palette management:
- Added two-buffer indirection (PaletteOffsetBuffer, MaterialIndexBuffer) for GPU material lookup, with incremental upload and resizing.
- MaterialPaletteStore now tracks dirty ranges, supports deferred slot reclamation, and exposes CPU-side arrays for upload.
- ResourceManager manages persistent GPU buffers and uploads only dirty subranges per frame.
- Updated HLSL and C# structs to use palette indices.
- Refactored systems/components to use new palette index and release logic.
- Added RenderContext.UploadBufferRange for partial uploads.
Minor: Fixed StbIApi interop signatures, updated test namespaces, and performed code cleanups.
Added a new `code-executor` agent with strict TDD and performance focus. Refactored `TextureProcessor` and `TextureAssetHandler` to use `Magick.NET` for image processing. Enhanced `GPUScene` with `InstanceCounterBuffer` and improved instance management. Introduced a compute shader for GPU scene updates. Updated `GhostRenderPipeline` to handle add/remove instance buffers.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed `x86` platform support and replaced `CachesFolderPath` with `LibraryFolderPath`. Updated project dependencies and removed unused utility classes.
Refactored shader compilation and resource management systems:
- Introduced `DXCShaderCompiler` for HLSL compilation and reflection.
- Added `BuildFinalShaderCode` method for robust shader code generation.
- Replaced raw strings with `ShaderEntryPoint` struct for shader paths.
- Updated `RenderContext` and `RenderGraphContext` for new pipeline methods.
- Added thread-safe resource management methods in `ResourceManager`.
- Introduced `DXCShaderReflectionData` for shader reflection handling.
- Removed redundant code and simplified `ShaderPropertiesRegistry`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Updated shader and resource APIs to use new structures and methods.
Refactored shader system to support both graphics and compute shaders.
- Updated ANTLR grammars and parser logic for explicit shader model and compute shader entry points.
- Split shader models and descriptors for graphics and compute.
- Refactored pipeline key generation and D3D12 pipeline library for compute support.
- Updated push constant layouts and HLSL includes for both shader types.
- Improved error handling and test coverage with new example files.
BREAKING CHANGE: Shader model, descriptor, and pipeline APIs have changed. Existing shader and pipeline code must be updated to use the new types and conventions.
Added ICommandSignature and D3D12CommandSignature for indirect command execution in the D3D12 backend, with supporting types. Updated ICommandBuffer and IGraphicsEngine interfaces to support indirect execution and command signature creation. Refactored command buffer pooling in D3D12GraphicsEngine for more flexible reuse. Changed BeginFrame and EndFrame to void and clarified parameter names. Updated resource and frame data structures to use direct buffer indices. Added RenderingUtility for buffer and texture uploads. Removed IRenderOutput interface. Updated RenderSystem render loop and HLSL/C# code to match new buffer usage patterns.
BREAKING CHANGE: ICommandBuffer, IGraphicsEngine, and related APIs have changed signatures and behaviors. Indirect command execution is now supported and required for some advanced features.
- 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.
