What is the process in #Bevy 0.16 when making a custom material fragment #shader to get lighting information into the shader? I have a flashlight that I want to shine onto my walls that use the custom material.
If anyone has a link to some examples or documentation, I would love that. Thanks.

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.

My latest coding adventure — attempting to write a grid-based fluid solver and simulate some simple smoke!

Hi #bevy :) It's time for your weekly #bevymergetrain, where I go over the community-approved PRs for the #opensource #rust game engine that I help maintain.

Follow along as we review the 9 PRs in our backlog: it's a fun mix of process, programming and praise :)

I'm making this game in #Bevy (started as a game jam, but didn't finish in time) and I love it. Bevy is just so easy once you have ECS in your brain.
The best part is that everything left to do is easy to do, just takes time. I can't wait to share it with everyone.

Using #bevy 0.16, is it possible to get the mesh associated with a glb file's model without spawning an initial one in the World and then hunting for the Mesh3d?
I want to use the same mesh handle many, many times from my exported Blender model and I think SceneRoot creates a unique mesh handle.

Bevy 0.17 release highlights #3: Headless UI Widgets - the unstyled functionality of standard UI widgets ready to be skinned to match your game (like Button, Slider etc.) - #headless#headless-bevy-ui-widgets-experimental" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-17/#headless-bevy-ui-widgets-experimental #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

Some Bevy Birthday thoughts

www.christopherbiscardi.com/bevy-5th-bir...

In the last decade I've released more than 160 packs of 2D sprites and 50+ packs of 3D models - they're all completely free to use by anyone for anything! Not thinking of stopping anytime soon, it's a lot of fun and the community support is fantastic! ✨

It isn't much, but I am damn proud of that pickup animation.

We are surrounded by awesome stuff that tends to eclipse the things we do.

Remember to celebrate your achievements no matter what size.

Alright, back in the conductor's seat for another #bevymergetrain. Love #bevy, #rust, #opensource or #gamedev? Marvel at the gloriously chaotic, productive and creative process of engine dev as I go over 29 PRs that the community thinks we should merge!

github.com/bevyengin...

You're welcome

Also if you are interested in Star Trek as well, I have an online archive of production material such as set blueprints, lcars, concept art etc. archive.frogland.co.uk

Alright, with the help of a little bit of Earl Grey, I'm feeling ready for my weekly #bevymergetrain. A little sleep deprivation won't stop me from doing a final pass on the community approved #opensource #rust PRs for Bevy!

Follow along, as we review the 11 PRs in our backlog :)

i finished the fun 3D Maze style autowalk, and today i uploaded the prototype of this raycaster! if you're supporting me on patreon you can give it a whirl.

for those who are interested, i'll be cleaning up the code and open sourcing this in the near future!

The second talk of our last #Bevy meetup is also live on YouTube now - Tristan talks about his indie game "Greenfeet Haven" in his talk "From Zero to Demo" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FIDuLV0ZsA #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

Hey #bevy! Monday's rolled around, and it's time for another #bevymergetrain <3

Like every week, we have a round-up of community-reviewed #opensource PRs that have enough approvals to merge :) This week, there's 22! github.com/bevyengin...

Follow along, and learn some #rust and #gamedev :)

I'm taking a break from the seasonal festivities (banning trolls), and banging out this week's #bevymergetrain <3 Let's see what the #bevy community has cooked up and reviewed this week!

A much more modest 7 #rust #gamedev PRs apparently: github.com/bevyengin...

Okay, nice!

I think I'm going to make the switch to #linux on my main desktop by October (avoiding Windows 11). I'm not looking forward to trying to make all of my most enjoyable games run properly, but I'm done with the endless chain of Windows distributions, the arbitrary UI changes, and everything else.

When your #bevy app has a roll system that includes any spawned entities with a Character component in the World.

A few years back Make-a-Wish reached out to me. There was a kid whose dream was to create a game inspired by The Mandalorian. I invited him over, and together we built a game fulfilling his dream! ✨ (The game can't be shared, for legal reasons)

Please be kind to each other!

alright, i'm officially doing the #gamedev bare minimum and showing off my game: this is "nobody's hiring"!

i'll be documenting my work today in this development thread!

I dream of this day, when I can take some of what I see at work and make it into a beautiful #rustlang machine.

I finally watched Tantan's video on his open-source voxel engine and it was great! Check it out!
