* more coherent logic between save & load
* added resources & boilerplate for loading side
* experimenting with save & load logic, filtering of components etc
* updated assets for more testing
* added bevy-inspector-egui to some examples for testing
* now the blender side exports .meta.ron files in addition to the gltf files
* these ron files contain the list of assets that are then preloaded on the Bevy side
* removed the double loading of gltf files on the Bevy side, replaced with use of the new metadata/asset files
* added bevy_common_assets/ ron as dependency for the file loading
* big cleanup & partial restructure of the spawning steps
* fixed premature removal of the BlueprintAssetsLoadState component that was leading to missing material gltf files in
setups withouth hot reload
* added OriginalVisibility component & logic to correctly reset the visibility of entities to what they where before
the blueprint spawning
* fixed a few not so visible issues with some components staying around after the blueprint instance has become "ready"
* moved a number of component insertions to the new "get the assets list from the meta file"
* also, loading speed feels faster ! (thanks to now loading the gltf files only once)
* minor various tweaks & cleanups
* modified materials detection & export accordingly
* modified material paths & co accordingly (all much simpler !)
* modified assets_scan helpers to also include material assets
* modified & massively cleaned up BlueprintAsset injection
* further cleanups & fixes for materials handling
* also removed a lot of obsolete code dealing with assets
* ever more cleanups !
* relying on the fact that the mesh-per-material generated by the gltf exporter is deterministic:
ie always uses the ordering of materials in an object
* added new component MaterialInfos (plural) with a vec of MaterialInfo's
* modified how materials per object are gathered on the Blender side
* and modified the processing on the Bevy side to also use the ordered approach
* seems to work well so far !
* removed file_watcher feature, should be user settable
* added root blueprintInfo path to the list of assets to watch for hot reload
* removed settable aabb calculation: they will now always be done
* added "export_registry" setting to be able to disable registry export for wasm & co (automate later)
* minor tweaks
* cleanups
* fixed & improved the Blenvy crate README
* make a few things conditional on whether hot reload is enabled or not
* cleaned up very verbose debug messages
* a few renames & coherency pass
* cleanups cleanups, cleanups !
* normally this should NOT happen if the blueprints to spawn are correctly generated
(by the Blender add-on) gltf files, but better safe (no unwrap!) than sorry
* started docs for Blender Blenvy add-on
* started migration guide
* got rid of a few examples
* moved (for now, wip) all remaining examples under the Blenvy umbrella
* updated main README
* fixed issue with undeleted bin file when setting gltf export options for gltf/bin mode
* updated release tools (internal_generate_release_zips)
* moved main TODO to root of repo
* a lot of related prep work & cleanup
* does not try to respawn parents & their children at the same time anymore
* does not try to respawn already spawning blueprint instances anymore
* "batches" respawning per set of simultaneous changes to assets to avoid chaotic respawning
* minor other tweaks & improvements
* added mapping of assets to blueprint instance ids so we know which blueprint instances
need to be de/respawned when a given asset changes
* simplified & streamlined internals of hot reloading using the above
* related cleanups & minor improvements
* fixed huge logical error in component processing (require Name components) that was breaking
scene level extras/components
* added a convience from_path function to BlueprintInfos to generate name from path
* minor tweaks
* VERY clunky code so far, needs a massive cleanup, but works !
* modified relevant code
* modified testing/example
* related minor tweaks & changes
* small changes to blend project to test instance vs blueprint level animation controls
* updated logic to account for bevy 0.14 changes (animation graph, transitions component etc)
* added back & updated per blueprint animation example to the testing project
* updated matching blend file with new style components
* spawnHere => spawnBlueprint
* added back tagging of Blueprint contents with "InBlueprint" / noInBlueprint
* overall cleanup pass (wip)
* removed clutter
* moved hot reload to seperate module
* added back "assets loaded" event, removed useless events
* registered HideUntilReady component for users
* minor tweaks & cleanups
* bumped up Bevy version to v0.14 !
* fixed (albeit in a clunky way) issues with sub blueprint detection
* improved error message for missing material library
* added HideUntilReady component & logic, to hide 'in-spawning' blueprint instances until they are ready
* "add-to-world" is now only trigerred for blueprint instances that have no parents (avoid footgun)
* minor cleanups & tweaks
* added test component with Vec3 to double check for issues
* updated test blend file to include the component above + added a light to the test spawnable blueprint
to check for "light flashes" (aka indirectly testing "HideUntilReady")
* updated simple test to include deep nested blueprint instance within blueprint instance case
* restructured materials handling to use the new logic, removed clutter
* experimenting with solutions to the deeply nested blueprint instances problem
* moved out all obsolete code to "old" folder, keeeping around until all problems are solved
* added hack-ish solution to the "aabb system as post process" implementation
* various minor boilerprate changes
* added logic to track spawning of sub blueprints
* added ability to determine when a blueprint instance is truly ready
(aka all its assets have been loaded, blueprint scene & sub scenes spawned & processed etc)
* reworked spawning steps for more determinism & reliability
* no more "seperate" spawning post process
* lots of related changes
* still messy but functional
* Blender: some additional component filtering for upgrade ui
* Bevy:
* experimenting with overhauled blueprint spawning logic, sub-blueprint instance tracking etc
* added a more simple blend file to test things out with
* cleaned up hot reload code a bit
* renamed a few things for clarity
* experimented with hiding entity while spawning & showing it again after spawn to
try and remove "flashes" happening when spawning blueprints with lights
* for testing example, fixed dynamic spawner test
* contains both name & path
* also experimented with merging the asset load tracking into BlenvyAssets by adding the fields from the
asset loading tracker & ignoring them/ defaulting them for deserialization
to get the list of assets & preload them
* a tiny bit clunky but works and is somewhat cleaner than the previous "staggered loading" approach
* enables having level load state (could be used for progress information & co)
* modified blueprints spawning to used the new system
* various cleanups & related tweaks
* fixed issues on the Blender side when with the formating of the ron data for assets
