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
Enhanced shader and resource systems with `Sampler` support, including updates to `ShaderPropertyType`, HLSL code, and resource management. Refactored `Result` structs for better type safety and added new enums for texture and comparison settings. Improved `MeshRenderPass` to dynamically load textures and samplers. Updated SDL compiler and token lexicon for `Sampler` handling. Embedded debug info in project files and streamlined resource state tracking.
- 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.
Refactored and reorganized the codebase to improve readability, performance, and maintainability. Introduced new interfaces and structs for better resource management, updated project configuration files, and refactored shader and graphics pipeline management. Improved error handling, code formatting, and removed unused code and namespaces. Updated DLL references and method signatures for consistency and maintainability.
Updated target frameworks to .NET 10.0 across multiple projects for compatibility with the latest features. Refactored namespaces and introduced new classes for shader descriptors, FMOD integration, and DirectX 12 utilities using TerraFX. Replaced `Win32` bindings with TerraFX equivalents for DirectX 12. Added a C# wrapper for FMOD Studio API, including DSP and error handling. Enhanced entity queries, component storage, and query filters for better performance and type safety. Introduced new test projects and updated the solution structure. Added `meshoptimizer` bindings and integrated `meshoptimizer_native.dll`. Improved code readability, maintainability, and performance.
