did some pretty cool network stuff today to improve the devex of my #bevy laptop/desktop server setup. it feels just like it's running locally!
here's an example of it running in real-time with SIGINT support. Left side is local (laptop), right side is zed connected via ssh to my host (desktop)

Figured out the proper transform+rotation for the IK in bevy, then slapped some meshes on the bones

First attempt at inverse kinematics using FABRIK with Bevy. Goal is spiders and turrets in 3d.

I've updated Extreme Bevy, my tutorial series on creating a p2p web game to Bevy 0.17.
I also added a brand new chapter on sprite animations. It's starting to look like a real game now :)

updated the low-poly terrain chunk management demo to 0.17 and made it use bevy_malek_async, which is *awesome*.

Avian is getting pretty big nowadays! To mark the start of a new release cycle, I spent some time improving our processes moving forward.
Notably, Avian now stores migration guides in-repo, similar to Bevy:

Observer filters in Bevy with EntityCommandsTrigger doesn't do what most people expect it to. Here's some experimentation in enabling `On` style observers to power the separation of observer functions that target different types of entities

Work in progress support for Vec<String> component data in Skein/Blender.
Supporting arrays in Blender is a whole heap of custom handling (you can't just say "this is an array, thanks"), but the full lifecycle is working from component definition, to ui, to gltf data now.

This has been my side project for more than a year now. I am very exited for Typst and think that it deserves a lot more usage in business software.
Give Oicana a try and let me know what you think 😊

Tired of slow, clunky PDF templating with vendor lock-in?
We were too. That's why Oicana is built on the open source typesetter @typst.app.
Get lightning-fast renders of complex, data-driven PDFs in your frontend, backend or anywhere in-between.

A quick visibility mesh implementation in bevy.
Sort vertices globally by angle relative to player, iterate, and build mesh. repeatedly .insert_attribute visibility mesh positions on a Mesh every frame.

some notes on using ktx2. My use case lately has been to pack and compress substance designer textures, for which kram has become my go-to tool.

I just released version 0.4 of Avian, an ECS-driven physics engine for @bevy.org.
This is the biggest release yet, featuring 3x performance(!), overhauled forces and joints, voxel colliders, Bevy 0.17 support, and much more.
As always, release notes can be found here:
