renderer: a mobile scene shading, the default on Android - #193
A lighter forward base pass for mobile GPUs, like Unreal's mobile renderer and Unity URP have. On Android the scene shader's shade_main_scene is replaced by shaders/scene_mobile.wgsl (in renderer/mobile_shading.rs). It has the same inputs, outputs, lights, shadows and material textures.
Left out:
the normal-variance roughness (Toksvig, LEADR, the screen-space curvature kernel);
the coverage-dithered alpha masks (a plain alpha test instead);
cloud shadows;
the specular firefly caps;
the spec-gloss conversion that only fed the SSR buffers.
Changed:
The BRDF lookup texture becomes Karis's analytic environment BRDF, the one Unreal's mobile renderer uses. Multi-scatter compensation and specular occlusion stay, computed from the fit's energy.
The sun shadow uses the 4-tap tent alone, chosen when the shader is built. The 16-tap Poisson code behind the runtime filter switch cost 10 ms of a 36 ms main pass on the Pixel 4a just by being compiled in, although it never ran there.
Where it applies. The swap happens before the froxel and VSM specializations; the mobile function keeps the point-light loop markers and the pl.color.w * atten2 term they patch. So the scene pipelines, the prepassed (discard-free) variant and the GPU-driven variant all shade with it. Its texture reads are the canonical expressions the GPU-driven rewrite expects. The layered-material and layered-refraction shaders keep the full shading.
When it's on. By default on Android. BLOOM_MOBILE_SHADING=0|1 overrides it, to compare on a device or to try it on a desktop GPU.
Pixel 4a (Adreno 618), tuichess at 0.5 render scale:
main pass 33 → 26 ms;
medium 11.6 → 12.7 fps, low 13.9 → 15.4 fps;
the image differs from the full shading by 1.5/255 on average (mean brightness 85.6 vs 84.3).
New tests validate the mobile shader with naga, check the markers the variants rely on, and build the clustered and GPU-driven variants from it. cargo test --lib: 502 passed.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added mobile-optimized scene rendering on Android, using a lighter shadow-filtering approach.
Mobile scenes support material details, lighting, reflections, and other visual effects across supported rendering variants.
Mobile shading can be enabled or disabled with a configuration setting; by default, it is enabled on Android and disabled on other platforms.
On mobile GPUs the scene shader's shade_main_scene is replaced by
shaders/scene_mobile.wgsl, a lighter forward base pass like Unreal's mobile
renderer and Unity URP have. Same inputs, outputs, lights, shadows and
textures. Left out: the normal-variance roughness (Toksvig / LEADR /
screen-space kernel), coverage-dithered alpha masks (a plain alpha test),
cloud shadows, the specular firefly caps and the spec-gloss conversion for
the SSR buffers; the BRDF LUT becomes Karis's analytic environment BRDF
(Unreal mobile's), keeping multi-scatter compensation and specular
occlusion. The sun shadow takes the 4-tap tent alone, chosen when the
shader is built: the 16-tap Poisson code behind the runtime filter switch
cost 10 ms of a 36 ms main pass by being compiled in.
Applied to the main scene shader before its froxel and VSM specializations
(the mobile function keeps their markers), so the scene pipelines, the
prepassed variant and the GPU-driven variant shade with it; the layered
shaders keep the full shading. On by default on Android;
BLOOM_MOBILE_SHADING=0|1 overrides it.
Pixel 4a (Adreno 618), tuichess at 0.5 render scale: main pass 33 -> 26 ms;
the image differs from the full shading by 1.5/255 on average.
The renderer now selects and substitutes a mobile scene shader when enabled. The shader adds mobile material handling, lighting, and output logic. The renderer applies the existing froxel-light and virtual-shadow specializations to the selected shader source.
Changes: Mobile Scene Shading
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Mobile material inputs native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/scene_mobile.wgsl
The mobile shader builds material UVs and normals, handles alpha and normal orientation, and derives metallic-roughness or specular-glossiness inputs.
Lighting and scene output native/shared/src/renderer/shaders/scene_mobile.wgsl
The shader computes direct and image-based lighting, sanitizes HDR output, and returns scene color, material, velocity, and shadow data.
Shader selection and renderer integration native/shared/src/renderer/mobile_shading.rs, native/shared/src/renderer/mod.rs
The renderer selects the mobile shader according to platform and environment settings, substitutes shading and shadow sampling functions, then applies existing specializations. Tests parse the substituted shader and froxel and GPU-driven variants.

Guard the previous clip-space divide.
When a visible surface crosses the previous camera plane, in.prev_clip.w can be zero. The division can produce invalid velocity and corrupt TAA’s motion weights. Guard the division and reject invalid history.

The velocity is the full shader's expression, unchanged, so both shadings produce the same motion vectors. Guarding the previous-clip divide is worth doing for both, in its own change.
The test manually reproduces the strip instead of exercising renderer shader construction. If the renderer applies the diagnostic before mobile substitution, the test can pass while mobile IBL returns. Add a test that enables BLOOM_SKIP=ibl through the production path and checks the resulting shader.

Validate the IBL-stripped shader.
If a future change makes an IBL consumer incompatible with the diagnostic replacement, parsing alone can miss the type error. Validate the parsed module to catch that regression before shader creation.
