Solari, Reflect Auto Registration, and Render Diagnostics
2025-08-11
Shadows and RenderLayers
#20327 ensures shadows respect RenderLayers.
Solari
#20406 introduces a radiance cache for Solari.
Reflect Auto Registration
Do you use Reflection? Tired of forgetting to .register_type?
As of #15030, non-generic types that derive Reflect will automatically be registered.
Render Diagnostics
#19191 added GPU spans for all of Bevy's render and compute passes, leading to much nicer Tracy output.
Color Sliders
#20422 introduces color slider widgets, building on top of previous work on gradients.
bevy_mikktspace
In accordance with #19798, bevy_mikktspace is now a standalone crate.
This is a rewrite of the Mikkelsen Tangent Space Algorithm reference implementation in Rust. It is loosely based on mikktspace, an existing port.
Showcase
Bevy work from the #showcase channel in Discord and around the internet. Use hashtag #bevyengine.
State Machine Editor
showcase
An in-progress editor for bevy_gearbox, a state machine crate. bevy_gearbox is based on XState and bevy_gearbox_editor is based on stately.
Bluesky Visualizer
showcase
A Bevy based visualizer for Bluesky people you follow, using atproto
Gaussian Splatting
showcase
experiments with converting a mesh into gaussian splats with rendering provided by bevy_gaussian_splatting
LoodLoop
showcase
Become a professional figure skater; spin and jump to win the jury's hearts. Be aware of the looping controls!
LoodLoop is a GMTK game jam entry
Nova Looper: GMTK Jam
showcase
Loop around the sun dodging solar radiation (the obstacles). Stay close to the sun to harvest its power, but watch your shields don't get too low!
When the sun goes 'nova, its time to move to the next one, but watch out for black holes in hyperspace!
Satellite Visualizer
showcase
A PBR earth rendered with satellites orbiting around it. Satellites are from Celestrak's free NORAD GP datasets. TLE parsing and orbital mechanics are both done by the sgp4 crate.
Asteroids
showcase
A first Bevy project replicating Asteroids. It is a low-dependency project, using only Bevy and rand.
Crates
New releases to crates.io and substantial updates to existing projects
bevy_egui 0.36
crate_release
bevy_egui is a Bevy integration with egui. The maintainer recently left their job with the intent of becoming a full-time indie Rust gamedev and created a Patreon which helps support this crate (and the maintainer's other projects).
rerecast v0.1.0
crate_release
Rerecast is a Rust port of recastnavigation, the industry-standard navigation mesh generator used by Unreal, Unity, Godot, and other game engines.
There's a neat Bevy integration that looks like this:
fn some_system_that_generates_your_navmesh(mut generator: NavmeshGenerator) {
let agent_radius = 0.6;
let agent_height = 1.8;
let settings = NavmeshSettings::from_agent_3d(agent_radius, agent_height);
// This is a handle to an `Asset<Navmesh>` that is generated asynchroneously!
let navmesh_handle = generator.generate(settings);
}
You can also pre-author your navmesh using a little standalone editor that you can download with cargo install bevy_rerecast_editor
There is also first-party integration for generating navmeshes out of Avian colliders and WIP integration with the pathfinding libraries vleue_navigator and landmass
q_service 0.2.0
crate_release
q_service aims to bring the service model to Bevy.
0.2 is a major update that reworks the entire crate to allow asynchronous init/deinit, asset and resource dependencies, and more predictable state management.
bevy_lint 0.4
crate_release
The bevy linter is a Bevy CLI working group project. This release includes support for automatically applying suggestions with the --fix flag, restriction lints to enforce either Update or FixedUpdate for specific modules, improved Github Action ergonomics and performance, and more!
