In my GPU clustering branch, which is making its way through review, Bevy 0.19 can render ~8,000 visible lights (of 100k total) at about 200 FPS on my laptop 4070. This also adds the infrastructure for particle systems to emit lights entirely from GPU without any CPU involvement at all.

Landed light probe falloff and blending in Bevy 0.19: github.com/bevyengine/b...

Along with parallax correction, I think that's the last of the features that are needed to make light probes really usable. Still would be nice to have in-engine baking, of course.

Last week we held the 12th online #Bevy Meetup, let's thank our speakers PROMETHIA and Periwink for the great content and in case you missed it - find the recorded livestream here: https://youtube.com/live/vk0YcSjOiDg #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

Avian's broad phase collision detection has finally been overhauled to use Bounding Volume Hierarchies from the OBVHS crate! Previously, basic sweep and prune was used.

This is a stress test with colliders in a grid moving randomly, rendering the resulting BVH. #bevy

Bevy by default builds on gpu and therefore modern rendering APIs like Metal and Vulkan, now we have a OpenGL 2 backend: https://github.com/DGriffin91/bgl2 - #Bevy on Windows XP anyone? #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy.bsky.social

Join us for the second talk of tonights Bevy Meetup: PERIWINK presents Netcode with lightyear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk0YcSjOiDg #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Our first Bevy Meetup talk of 2026 is on: PROMETHIA is sharing deep insights into how Dependency Injection works in #rustlang and #Bevy in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk0YcSjOiDg

Today could be historic, the first MVP for #rustlang compile time reflection landed in nightly: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146923 - exciting to see this being expanded beyond tuples eventually! 🦀

Bevy 0.18 is out for a week now - time to list my 8 personal highlights: 1st - Fullscreen Materials - makes it easy to create a fullscreen shader to do custom screen post processing. Very nice!
