bevy_hou

bevy_hou is a Bevy module for importing and using level-layout data authored in Houdini. The current focus of the project is simple 2D platforming geometry, represented as rectangles. Custom geometry, usd and gltf coming soon.

This project is early-stage and experimental.

Features

• Load Simple Rectabl Geometry
• Load custom geometry shapes
• Metadata per geometry (tags, layers, gameplay properties)
• Automatic collider generation based on tags
• Better integration with Bevy ECS workflows
• Better file format that replaces JSON

Installation

cargo add bevy_hou

Basic Usage (High-Level)
