- 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.
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.
Refactors engine infrastructure for improved resource/service
management and render pipeline extensibility. Replaces World’s
resource API with a service-based API. Splits IGraphicsEngine’s
RenderFrame into BeginFrame/EndFrame. Adds support for pluggable
render pipelines in RenderSystem. Replaces disposed checks with
Debug.Assert in performance paths. Updates RenderExtractionSystem
and render loop for new APIs. Improves diagnostics and code clarity.
BREAKING CHANGE: Resource API replaced with service API; render
pipeline and frame lifecycle interfaces changed.
Major refactor of graphics and ECS infrastructure:
- Removed IResourceManager, IRenderSystem, IFenceSynchronizer interfaces; ResourceManager and RenderSystem are now concrete classes.
- Updated all render graph, pipeline, and context code to use concrete ResourceManager.
- Refactored camera/frustum math and render extraction for clarity and correctness; frustum now uses inline arrays.
- RenderingLayerMask is now an immutable struct with bitwise operators.
- Meshlet and meshlet group data structures improved; meshlet build callback signature updated.
- Logging system overhauled: LogMessage is now a class, LogCollection supports change events, and Logger is used directly in the debug console.
- ECS query API: ChunkView.Count renamed to EntityCount; query builder/iterators use VirtualStack.Scope.
- Updated render pipeline and passes for new resource manager and render list APIs.
- Cleaned up obsolete files, improved code style, and updated documentation.
- HLSL meshlet shader updated for new struct layout.
- Debug console now uses new logger and log collection.
BREAKING CHANGE: Public APIs for resource management, rendering, ECS queries, and logging have changed. Interfaces removed; use new concrete types and updated method signatures.
Introduced RenderExtractionSystem for entity-based render data extraction. Added MeshInstance and MeshPalette components with shadow casting support. Refactored QueryBuilder API, SharedComponentStore, and component registration for clarity and flexibility. Updated SystemManager and SystemGroup to use SystemAPI. Replaced RenderingConfig with GraphicsEngineDesc/RenderSystemDesc. RenderFrame now uses CPU/GPU fence values for sync. Removed Camera.cs in favor of ECS-based rendering. Improved Material, RenderingLayerMask, Mesh, and RenderList APIs. Updated package references and fixed naming, error handling, and disposal issues.
