bevy_svg

For one of my personal projects i needed a way to load and display some simple SVG files/shapes in Bevy, so i took inspiration from bevy_prototype_lyon and modified and extended it to...well...load and display simple SVG files. SVGs can be used/displayed in 2D as well as in 3D.

Files are loaded through AssetLoader, then parsed and simplified with usvg and then tessellated with Lyon into a vertex buffer, which lastly is convert into a Bevy mesh and drawn with custom shaders.

Note: The SVG support is currently rather basic, i'd like to expand that in the future.

Usage

Copy this to your Cargo.toml

# Stable
bevy_svg = "0.16.0-rc1"

# 2D and 3D are available on default, if you only want/need one, use the following
bevy_svg = { version = "0.16.0-rc1", default-features = false, features = ["2d"] }
# or
bevy_svg = { version = "0.16.0-rc1", default-features = false, features = ["3d"] }

# Living on the edge (at your own risk 😅)
bevy_svg = { git = "https://github.com/Weasy666/bevy_svg", branch = "main" }

Then use it like this.

2D

use bevy_svg::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(WindowPlugin {
            primary_window: Some(Window {
                title: "SVG Plugin".to_string(),
                ..Default::default()
            }),
            ..Default::default()
        }))
        .add_plugin(bevy_svg::prelude::SvgPlugin)
        .add_systems(Startup, setup)
        .run();
}

fn setup(
    mut commands: Commands,
    asset_server: Res<AssetServer>,
) {
    let svg = asset_server.load("path/to/file.svg");
    commands.spawn((Camera2d::default(), Msaa::Sample4));
    commands.spawn((
        Svg2d(svg),
        Origin::Center, // Origin::TopLeft is the default
    ));
}

3D

use bevy_svg::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .insert_resource(Msaa::Sample4)
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(WindowPlugin {
            primary_window: Some(Window {
                title: "SVG Plugin".to_string(),
                ..Default::default()
            }),
            ..Default::default()
        }))
        .add_plugin(bevy_svg::prelude::SvgPlugin)
        .add_systems(Startup, setup)
        .run();
}

fn setup(
    mut commands: Commands,
    asset_server: Res<AssetServer>,
) {
    let svg = asset_server.load("path/to/file.svg");
    commands.spawn((Camera3d::default(), Msaa::Sample4));
    commands.spawn((
        Svg3d(svg),
        Origin::Center, // Origin::TopLeft is the default
        Transform {
            translation: Vec3::new(0.0, 0.0, -600.0),
            // The scale you need depends a lot on your SVG and camera distance
            scale: Vec3::new(1.0, 1.0, 1.0),
            rotation: Quat::from_rotation_x(-std::f32::consts::PI / 5.0),
        },
    ));
}
