Bug fixes found while validating stage 15:
- demo: set_shadow_caster(Some(0)) selected the default +Z light (packed
index 0 from Lights::new()); the demo's warm directional light is packed
at index 1. The shadow camera then looked down -Z, so misaligned objects
occluded each other (cone/torus rendered black). Use index 1.
- primitives::torus: index winding was flipped ([a,c,b]); the outer surface
(outward normals, CCW from outside) was culled and only the dark interior
stayed visible. Reversed to [a,b,c]/[b,d,c] so it is CCW from outside.
- app: call device.poll() each frame in about_to_wait; without it wgpu
async callbacks (on_submitted_work_done, map_async) never fire in the
windowed loop.
Docs:
- conf: clarify the embedded-shader fallback is expected/harmless and that
SHADOW_SHADER_PATH is kept for API compatibility only.
- README item 15: runtime-verified headless.
- DRAFT.md: emptied to a completion summary per convention (full stage-15
plan preserved in git history).
The shadow pass was correct but the demo light was much too steep (52°
elevation), so the blocker's shadow fell in a ~0.5-unit sliver tight against
the cube's base and was invisible against the bright ground (offscreen pixel
probe found a single dark pixel). Verified with an offscreen probe using the
real Renderer::render_scene + shadow path:
- steep front light (0.6,1.1,0.6) -> 1 dark pixel (no visible shadow)
- shallow side light (1.0,0.3,0.0) -> 17 107 pixels (shadow pipeline OK)
- tuned front-right (1.0,0.5,0.0) -> 16 979 pixels (clear visible shadow)
The azimuth matters most: from the elevated front-right camera, a shadow cast
toward -z falls behind the cube and is occluded; one cast toward -x runs across
the ground to the left of the cube and reads clearly. Tuned light therefore sits
front-right and low (toward_light (1.0,0.5,0.0)), keeping the front faces lit
while casting a clearly visible PCF-softened shadow.
Also reapply the LessEqual comparison sampler fix (commit 39167ee had set it,
but was later reverted to GreaterEqual by 9a51ff7 while debugging; the probe
confirms LessEqual is the correct, non-inverted test). Correct 'rotating cube'
to 'cube' in README/ROADMAP (shadow_test scene is static).
- ROADMAP : Phase 4.1 (Textures) cochée — struct Texture, uvs, bind group
shader, Material avec texture diffuse.
- README : jalon 8 (diffuse textures) ajouté à la Roadmap ; ligne resource
'texture' + material enrichi dans le tableau des resources du module.
- DRAFT Étape 10 : cases 10.1-10.6 cochées (terminé et vérifié le
2026-09-18), point d'étape clôturé, bilan de fin d'étape rédigé (y compris
la divergence D2 : multiplication texel * couleur du vertex au lieu de
remplacement, et la structure réelle du PipelineCache).
- DRAFT.md : cases 9.1-9.4 cochées (terminées et vérifiées 2026-09-18),
point d'étape validé, bilan de fin d'étape rédigé.
- README.md : Renderer::new prend désormais width/height (signature Étape 9).
- ROADMAP.md : décisions D1-D4 actées + resize avec recréation de la depth
texture planifié en Phase 4.4 (acté D3, 2026-09-18).
- Camera enrichie: fov/near/far stockés, Default (pos (0,0,3), 45°, near 0.1,
far 100), with_perspective(), projection_matrix(aspect) depuis les params
stockés (au lieu de les passer en argument).
- Scene porte une caméra active: set_camera()/camera() (défaut Camera::default).
- Renderer::render_scene(view, scene, aspect) écrit chaque frame view/proj/
cam_pos réels dans le buffer frame (write_frame_uniforms) avant de dessiner;
le Renderer garde le handle du frame_buffer. Le chemin bas-niveau render()
conserve les valeurs par défaut (identité).
- App::render_scene calcule l'aspect depuis window.inner_size() (le Renderer
reste indépendant de la fenêtre).
Docs synchronisées: DRAFT (4.3 coche), README (statut 3D-infra + quick ref),
PLAN (caméras), ROADMAP (1.1/1.3/1.5/2.3).
Validation: check workspace+examples 0 warning, test (Pod + wgsl) OK, doc 0
warning, fmt propre. Le rendu 3D visible attend Étape 5 (brancher standard).
Clarify for each docs/tech document whether it describes the current
(implemented) or target (planned) architecture, and reconcile with the
readme/roadmap source of truth:
- ARCHI_APP, ARCHI_CPU_GPU, ARCHI_RENDU: mark status=target and add a
banner stating the GPU-driven two-pass pipeline, persistent VRAM buffers
and scene auto-render are not implemented (they are ROADMAP Phase 3 /
README roadmap items 1-3). render() still cannot draw the scene.
- ARCHI_ARENES: status=target/deferred. String IDs are the current design;
slotmap generational handles are the deferred 'typed handles' step and
the slotmap dependency is currently absent (supersedes the retired dep).
- FRAME_LOOP: stays status=current; correct the described API flow (Frame
based via get_next_frame/Renderer::present, plus the low-level
begin_frame/end_frame variant) and move the single-buffer VRAM note to
target.
- README: label each tech doc as current or target in the Documentation
section.
- Replace the broken App::new() (which does not exist) with AppBuilder.
- Strip it down to the PLAN's ~15-line target: no explicit winit/wgpu,
AppHandler render() left empty (scene rendering still on the roadmap).
- Verified: builds, opens a black window and runs the update->render->present
loop until closed.
- Update README/PLAN wording now that the simple example compiles (it still
does not draw a scene).
- README stays the source of truth for current state; drive/item-5 now
reflects the settled decision: String IDs for the MVP, slotmap deferred.
- ROADMAP gains a 'point de depart' (present-state) block, marks glam done,
removes the slotmap Phase-1 mandates, and documents the String-ID decision
plus the deferred 'typed handles' step.
- PLAN corrects stale [X] checkmarks (App render() cannot draw, Scene
rendering not automated, simple example does not compile) and notes its
verification checklist against current reality.
- Remove the unused slotmap direct dependency from wsg-lib (package remains
in Cargo.lock only as a transitive dep of glow).
