Gigs

On-demand graphics jobs for Bevy

Gigs is a plugin for the Bevy game engine that aims to provide a simple abstraction for "graphics jobs", units of rendering work that only need to be done sporadically, on-demand. For example, a terrain generation compute shader would only need to be run once for each chunk of terrain. In many cases, this crate will allow you to skip most or all of the manual extraction and resource prep boilerplate that comes along with this, and focus on writing shaders.

Warning

This library is still under development. main is very unstable, and may be broken frequently. It's not feature-complete yet, and there will be churn as features like job dependencies are added, and the code refactored.

Getting Started

1. First, add gigs to your Cargo dependencies: cargo add gigs
2. Add GraphicsJobsPlugin to your App
3. Implement GraphicsJob for your job component
4. Call init_graphics_job on App to initialize your custom job
5. To run the job, simply spawn an entity with your job component!
