Metallic/roughness and specular/glossiness now reach the lights as a diffuse colour and an F0, through one function, shade_pbr_f0 (the former shade_specular_glossiness_pbr). Unreal and Unity shade both workflows this way internally.

• Metallic/roughness: diffuse = base × (1 − metallic) and F0 = mix(0.04, base, metallic). That is exactly shade_pbr: kd = (1 − F)(1 − metallic) and the degenerate-half kd0 = (1 − F0)(1 − metallic) both factor the same way.
• Specular/glossiness: passes its authored diffuse and F0 as before.

The scene shader then inlines one GGX per light site (sun, directional loop, point loop, clustered loop) instead of a branch with one copy per workflow. On a Pixel 4a (Adreno 618) the second copy was 8 ms of a 38 ms main pass, paid by every material. With this PR the main pass is 32 ms at 0.5 render scale in tuichess, which uses no spec-gloss materials. The output on the phone looks the same.

shade_pbr stays as the metallic form the layered-material variant is derived from. The layered variant (and its clustered loop) maps the unified calls back to shade_layered_pbr(..., base_color, metallic, roughness), because glTF's layered extensions are metallic/roughness only and the spec-gloss extension doesn't combine with them.

cargo test --lib: 499 passed; the spec-gloss shader test now checks the unified inputs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved direct-light rendering consistency for metallic/roughness and specular/glossiness materials.
  • Updated clustered point-light rendering to use shared shading behavior, including for layered materials.
  • Layered material lighting continues to support metallic/roughness materials; specular/glossiness materials are not supported with layered extensions.

Walkthrough

The renderer now routes metallic-roughness and specular-glossiness direct lighting through a shared diffuse/F0 BRDF. Clustered and layered shader substitutions use the shared call, and shader tests check its presence and arguments.

Changes: Shared BRDF and shader integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared BRDF and direct-light paths native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/core.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/core_tests.rs	The shader prepares diffuse and F0 inputs for both material workflows. Directional, additional directional, and point-light paths use shade_pbr_f0. Tests check the shared function and its arguments.
Clustered and layered shader adaptations native/shared/src/renderer/froxel.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/layered_pbr_scene.rs	The clustered loop calls shade_pbr_f0. Layered shader substitutions replace that call with shade_layered_pbr and use layered material inputs.

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 056cd

The unified lighting change has no established merge-blocking defect. Numerical tests would strengthen confidence in both material workflows and clustered lighting.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: the scene shader now uses one direct BRDF (shade_pbr_f0) for both metallic/roughness and specular/glossiness materials. The changeset matches this, and the description and objectives confirm the same change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives a clear summary of the change, the reasoning, the derivation of diffuse and F0 for both workflows, the layered-material handling, and the test run. It follows the template's Summary and Notes-for-reviewers intent. The Test plan checklist is not filled in: the CI script, platform checks, and visual regression items are unchecked or not stated, and the docs item is not addressed. The description reports one device test (Pixel 4a) and a cargo test --lib run, but it does not state whether ./scripts/ci-check.sh passed or whether a second platform was tested. Known-broken or deferred items are not listed in Notes for reviewers.

Resolution

Optionally, mark the Test plan checkboxes that apply, state whether ./scripts/ci-check.sh passed locally, name the second platform tested or note that none was, state whether the docs were updated (the public API is unchanged, per the summary), and add any Notes for reviewers items (for example, known issues or deferred follow-ups).

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 50.00% 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 2 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

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

30-35: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Poor tradeoff

Add behavioral coverage for the unified BRDF.

The assertion checks call-site text, but it does not check how shade_pbr_f0 uses those arguments. Swapping its same-typed parameters would pass this test and change the lighting. Add numeric checks for both workflows, including the clustered point-light path.

30 - 35:
The existing SCENE_SHADER assertion only checks call-site text and does not
verify that shade_pbr_f0 uses same-typed arguments in the correct order. Add
numeric behavioral coverage for both BRDF workflows, including the clustered
point-light path, that would fail if its arguments were swapped; preserve the
existing textual assertion.
