Part 2 of #23619
In **Bevy 0.19** we are landing a subset of Bevy's Next Generation Scene
system (often known as BSN), which now lives in the `bevy_scene` /
`bevy::scene` crate. However the old `bevy_scene` system still needs to
stick around for a bit longer, as it provides some features that Bevy's
Next Generation Scene system doesn't (yet!):
1. It is not _yet_ possible to write a World _to_ BSN, so the old system
is still necessary for "round trip World serialization".
2. The GLTF scene loader has not yet been ported to BSN, so the old
system is still necessary to spawn GLTF scenes in Bevy.
For this reason, we have renamed the old `bevy_scene` crate to
`bevy_world_serialization`. If you were referencing `bevy_scene::*` or
`bevy::scene::*` types, rename those paths to
`bevy_world_serialization::*` and `bevy::world_serialization::*`
respectively.
Additionally, to avoid confusion / conflicts with the new scene system,
all "scene" terminology / types have been reframed as "world
serialization":
- `Scene` -> `WorldAsset` (as this was always just a World wrapper)
- `SceneRoot` -> `WorldAssetRoot`
- `DynamicScene` -> `DynamicWorld`
- `DynamicScene::from_scene` -> `DynamicWorld::from_world_asset`
- `DynamicSceneBuilder` -> `DynamicWorldBuilder`
- `DynamicSceneRoot` -> `DynamicWorldRoot`
- `SceneInstanceReady` -> `WorldInstanceReady`
- `SceneLoader` -> `WorldAssetLoader`
- `ScenePlugin` -> `WorldSerializationPlugin`
- `SceneRootTemplate` -> `WorldAssetRootTemplate`
- `SceneSpawner` -> `WorldInstanceSpawner`
- `SceneFilter` -> `WorldFilter`
- `SceneLoaderError` -> `WorldAssetLoaderError`
- `SceneSpawnError` -> `WorldInstanceSpawnError`
Note that I went with `bevy_world_serialization` over
`bevy_ecs_serialization`, as that is what all of the internal features
described themselves as. I think it is both more specific and does a
better job of making itself decoupled from `bevy_ecs` proper.
# Objective
- whether a Camera needs to draw Hdr content or not is an aspect of
scene description
- as such, it should live in a non-rendering crate
## Solution
- move it to bevy_camera
- dont extract it to the render world anymore. audited all usages of it
and none are in the render world queries, instead `ExtractedCamera::hdr`
is used.
## Testing
- manual spot check of a few examples
- example runner regression test
# Objective
- Improve the readability of float output in the depth_of_field,
post_processing, and tonemapping examples by limiting it to two decimal
places
- This makes the output cleaner and more consistent.
## Solution
- Use Rust’s formatting syntax (e.g., {:.2}) to ensure floats are
displayed with exactly two decimal places.
- Apply this to all relevant print and debug output lines in these
examples.
# Objective
Split out post process effects from bevy_core_pipeline because they are
not core pipelines.
## Solution
@IceSentry proposed something like this, not sure if the split is
exactly as he envisioned but this seems reasonable to me.
The goal is to move absolutely everything possible out of
bevy_core_pipelines to unblock bevy_pbr/bevy_sprite_render compilation.
Future PRs may attempt to move more little bits out.
## Testing
# Objective
- Allow the `Val`-helper functions to accept more types besides just
`f32`
Fixes#20549
## Solution
- Adds a new trait that can be implemented for numbers
- That trait has a method that converts `self` to `f32`
## Testing
- I tested it using Rust's testing framework (although I didn't leave
the tests in, as I don't deem them important enough)
<details>
<summary>Rust test</summary>
```rust
#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
use super::*;
#[test]
fn test_val_helpers_work() {
let p = px(10_u8);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_u16);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_u32);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_u64);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_u128);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_i8);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_i16);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_i32);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_i64);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10_i128);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.0));
let p = px(10.3_f32);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.3));
let p = px(10.6_f64);
assert_eq!(p, Val::Px(10.6));
}
}
```
</details>

## Showcase
```rust
// Same as Val::Px(10.)
px(10);
px(10_u8);
px(10.0);
```
# Objective
- Simplify `Camera` initialization
- allow effects to require HDR
## Solution
- Split out `Camera.hdr` into a marker `Hdr` component
## Testing
- ran `bloom_3d` example
---
## Showcase
```rs
// before
commands.spawn((
Camera3d
Camera {
hdr: true
..Default::default()
}
))
// after
commands.spawn((Camera3d, Hdr));
// other rendering components can require that the camera enables hdr!
// currently implemented for Bloom, AutoExposure, and Atmosphere.
#[require(Hdr)]
pub struct Bloom;
```
# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.
Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.
## Testing
- [x] Text examples all work.

## Migration Guide
TODO: very breaking
### Accessing text spans by index
Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.
Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
let text = query.single_mut();
text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
mut writer: UiTextWriter,
time: Res<Time>
) {
let entity = query.single();
*writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
### Iterating text spans
Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.
---
## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
A step in the migration to required components: scenes!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FPJtNGVMMQhyM0zIvCJSkbA):
- Deprecate `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle`.
- Add `SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components, which wrap a
`Handle<Scene>` and `Handle<DynamicScene>` respectively.
## Migration Guide
Asset handles for scenes and dynamic scenes must now be wrapped in the
`SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components. Raw handles as components
no longer spawn scenes.
Additionally, `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle` have been
deprecated. Instead, use the scene components directly.
Previously:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));
commands.spawn(SceneBundle {
scene: model_scene,
transform: Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));
commands.spawn((
SceneRoot(model_scene),
Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
));
```
# Objective
Another step in the migration to required components: lights!
Note that this does not include `EnvironmentMapLight` or reflection
probes yet, because their API hasn't been fully chosen yet.
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposals](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FLLnzwz9XTxiD7i2jiUXkJg):
- Deprecate `PointLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `SpotLightBundle` in favor of the `PointLight` component
- Deprecate `DirectionalLightBundle` in favor of the `DirectionalLight`
component
## Testing
I ran some examples with lights.
---
## Migration Guide
`PointLightBundle`, `SpotLightBundle`, and `DirectionalLightBundle` have
been deprecated. Use the `PointLight`, `SpotLight`, and
`DirectionalLight` components instead. Adding them will now insert the
other components required by them automatically.
# Objective
The names of numerous rendering components in Bevy are inconsistent and
a bit confusing. Relevant names include:
- `AutoExposureSettings`
- `AutoExposureSettingsUniform`
- `BloomSettings`
- `BloomUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `BloomPrefilterSettings`
- `ChromaticAberration` (no `Settings`)
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpeningSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `FogSettings`
- `SmaaSettings`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` (really
inconsistent??)
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings`
- `VolumetricFogSettings`
Firstly, there's a lot of inconsistency between `Foo`/`FooSettings` and
`FooUniform`/`FooSettingsUniform` and whether names are abbreviated or
not.
Secondly, the `Settings` post-fix seems unnecessary and a bit confusing
semantically, since it makes it seem like the component is mostly just
auxiliary configuration instead of the core *thing* that actually
enables the feature. This will be an even bigger problem once bundles
like `TemporalAntiAliasBundle` are deprecated in favor of required
components, as users will expect a component named `TemporalAntiAlias`
(or similar), not `TemporalAntiAliasSettings`.
## Solution
Drop the `Settings` post-fix from the component names, and change some
names to be more consistent.
- `AutoExposure`
- `AutoExposureUniform`
- `Bloom`
- `BloomUniform`
- `BloomPrefilter`
- `ChromaticAberration`
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpening`
- `DepthOfField`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform`
- `DistanceFog`
- `Smaa`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasing` (note: we might want to change
to `Taa`, see "Discussion")
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFog`
I kept the old names as deprecated type aliases to make migration a bit
less painful for users. We should remove them after the next release.
(And let me know if I should just... not add them at all)
I also added some very basic docs for a few types where they were
missing, like on `Fxaa` and `DepthOfField`.
## Discussion
- `TemporalAntiAliasing` is still inconsistent with `Smaa` and `Fxaa`.
Consensus [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1280601167209955431)
seemed to be that renaming to `Taa` would probably be fine, but I think
it's a bit more controversial, and it would've required renaming a lot
of related types like `TemporalAntiAliasNode`,
`TemporalAntiAliasBundle`, and `TemporalAntiAliasPlugin`, so I think
it's better to leave to a follow-up.
- I think `Fog` should probably have a more specific name like
`DistanceFog` considering it seems to be distinct from `VolumetricFog`.
~~This should probably be done in a follow-up though, so I just removed
the `Settings` post-fix for now.~~ (done)
---
## Migration Guide
Many rendering components have been renamed for improved consistency and
clarity.
- `AutoExposureSettings` → `AutoExposure`
- `BloomSettings` → `Bloom`
- `BloomPrefilterSettings` → `BloomPrefilter`
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpeningSettings` → `ContrastAdaptiveSharpening`
- `DepthOfFieldSettings` → `DepthOfField`
- `FogSettings` → `DistanceFog`
- `SmaaSettings` → `Smaa`
- `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` → `TemporalAntiAliasing`
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings` → `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` → `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFogSettings` → `VolumetricFog`

# Objective
- Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14036
## Solution
- Add a world space transformation for the environment sample direction.
## Testing
- I have tested the newly added `transform` field using the newly added
`rotate_environment_map` example.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de77c65-14bc-48ee-b76a-fb4e9782dbdb
## Migration Guide
- Since we have added a new filed to the `EnvironmentMapLight` struct,
users will need to include `..default()` or some rotation value in their
initialization code.
This commit creates a new built-in postprocessing shader that's designed
to hold miscellaneous postprocessing effects, and starts it off with
chromatic aberration. Possible future effects include vignette, film
grain, and lens distortion.
[Chromatic aberration] is a common postprocessing effect that simulates
lenses that fail to focus all colors of light to a single point. It's
often used for impact effects and/or horror games. This patch uses the
technique from *Inside* ([Gjøl & Svendsen 2016]), which allows the
developer to customize the particular color pattern to achieve different
effects. Unity HDRP uses the same technique, while Unreal has a
hard-wired fixed color pattern.
A new example, `post_processing`, has been added, in order to
demonstrate the technique. The existing `post_processing` shader has
been renamed to `custom_post_processing`, for clarity.

## Changelog
### Added
* Chromatic aberration is now available as a built-in postprocessing
effect. To use it, add `ChromaticAberration` to your camera.
