The composite pass evaluated the AgX curve up to four times per pixel: centre, sharpen average, and chromatic aberration R and B. Each evaluation is an inset matrix, three log2, a sixth-order polynomial, an outset matrix and two per-channel pow. On mobile GPUs, the live state of two evaluations cuts occupancy. On a Pixel 4a (Adreno 618) at 1080×2340, a composite with one AgX call (sharpen off) took 4 ms; with two calls plus sharpen it took 25 ms.

Change:

  • agx_curve() moves, with the ACES curves, into shaders/tonemap.wgsl.
  • It is baked once at startup into a 64³ Rgba16Float table (2 MB). A compute pass writes the table; its indexing lives in shaders/tonemap_lut.wgsl.
  • The table's axes are log2 of the HDR channels, from 2^-12.5 to 2^9. Below that range AgX is clamped to black, and above it the inset matrix saturates every channel.
  • The composite reads the table with one filtered lookup through its existing linear sampler (new binding 8).
  • The ACES curves are cheap (no transcendentals) and stay analytic. Indexing a table after their input matrices, or storing them without their final clamp, didn't get full ACES within 1/255, so the table is only for AgX.

Accuracy: a GPU test compares the lookup with agx_curve() over HDR colours from 2^-14 to 2^10 in every channel combination. The difference is 0.84/255 in mid-tones and 1.71/255 at worst, display-encoded. On the phone, two runs of the same build already differ by 0.49/255 per pixel on average (TAA phase); with the table, the difference to the analytic build is 0.96/255.

Measured: Pixel 4a, medium preset, in a game: final_composite_pass went from 25 ms to 9 ms. cargo test --lib in native/shared: 499 passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Visual Improvements
    • Updated AgX tonemapping for more consistent color rendering across HDR brightness levels.
    • Added a full ACES tonemapping path alongside the compact ACES option, giving the renderer additional ways to map colors for display.

The composite pass evaluated the AgX curve up to four times per pixel
(centre, sharpen average, chromatic aberration R and B): an inset
matrix, three log2, a sixth-order polynomial, an outset matrix and two
per-channel pow. On mobile GPUs the live state of two evaluations cut
occupancy: on a Pixel 4a (Adreno 618) at 1080x2340 one AgX call cost
the pass 4 ms, two plus sharpen 25 ms.

agx_curve() (now in shaders/tonemap.wgsl with the ACES curves) is baked
once into a 64^3 Rgba16Float table indexed by log2 of the HDR colour,
2^-12.5..2^9: AgX clamps below that, and saturates every channel above
it. The composite reads it with one filtered lookup through its linear
sampler (binding 8). The ACES curves are cheap and stay analytic.

The table is within 0.84/255 of the curve in mid-tones and 1.71/255
anywhere, display-encoded (tonemap_lut tests, on any GPU adapter).
Pixel 4a, medium: final_composite_pass 25 -> 9 ms.

Walkthrough

The renderer now bakes a 64×64×64 AgX LUT into a 3D texture. The composite shader samples the LUT for its middle tone-map selection and retains compact ACES and full ACES paths for the other selections.

Changes: Tonemap LUT

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tone-map functions and LUT coordinates
native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/tonemap.wgsl, native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/tonemap_lut.wgsl
WGSL defines compact ACES, full ACES, and AgX functions. LUT helpers map HDR inputs to texel-centered coordinates across the configured log2 range.
LUT baking and validation
native/shared/src/renderer/tonemap_lut.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/post.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/mod.rs
TonemapLut creates a 64×64×64 Rgba16Float texture and submits a compute bake. Tests check LUT size and compare sampled output with agx_curve(), with a GPU-device availability skip.
Composite shader integration
native/shared/src/renderer/mod.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/final_pass.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/post.rs
The renderer creates and stores the LUT, and binding 8 supplies its view to the composite pass. The shader uses the LUT for values from 0.5 to 1.5, compact ACES below 0.5, and full ACES above 1.5.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 652e5

Format the new module before merging so the required lint check can pass. No supported runtime regression remains; direct composite AgX coverage is an optional improvement.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "composite: read AgX from a baked 3D table" matches the main change. The composite pass now samples AgX from a 64³ table baked by a compute pass (tonemap_lut.rs, post.rs, composite binding 8), not from the analytic polynomial. It is short, specific, and in the repository's style.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem (repeated AgX evaluations are costly on mobile GPUs), the change (AgX moved to tonemap.wgsl, baked 64³ table, filtered lookup at binding 8, ACES left analytic), accuracy measurements, and performance measurements on a Pixel 4a. The template's Summary section is effectively filled in. The Test plan checklist is not ticked: it does not state whether ./scripts/ci-check.sh passed, which platforms were tested beyond the Pixel 4a (Adreno 618, Android), or whether visual regression was checked. The description also does not mention whether public API or docs changed, and the Notes for reviewers section is absent. Reviewers can still assess the change, but the template is only partly followed.

Resolution

Optional: tick the template's test-plan items. State whether ./scripts/ci-check.sh passed, name the host platform and any second platform tested, and note any visual regression check in the relevant example (for example, renderer-test). Add a Notes for reviewers section, or state that there are no notes. State whether public API or docs changed.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 4 files. (3 skipped: 2 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

1587-1587: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Add a composite-path AgX regression test.

table_matches_agx_curve samples the LUT in a separate shader. It would still pass if tonemap_select routed AgX mode to ACES. Render known HDR values through the composite shader in AgX mode and compare the output with agx_curve.
