gpu_preprocess.rs

//! GPU mesh preprocessing.
//!
//! This is an optional pass that uses a compute shader to reduce the amount of
//! data that has to be transferred from the CPU to the GPU. When enabled,
//! instead of transferring [`MeshUniform`]s to the GPU, we transfer the smaller
//! [`MeshInputUniform`]s instead and use the GPU to calculate the remaining
//! derived fields in [`MeshUniform`].
