How to to integrate Bevy Engine?

How to to integrate Bevy Engine? both projects support webgpu.

I'm not really familiar with Bevy. However, it should be enough to just grab references to the wgpu::Device and a wgpu::Queue and pass them to Terra. It looks those two objects are stored inside the WgpuRenderer struct.

Thanks, well im new to both projects, still have to take a deep look in.

Started poking around with this myself. First thing I noticed is that you need to use the git version of bevy because the last crates.io version depends on an old version of wgpu.

bevyengine/bevy#2210

Please see above topic.
My intent is to create atleast a proof of concept.

Update: I did some more experimenting with this. Using bevyengine/bevy#2240 and https://github.com/fintelia/terra/tree/bevy it is possible to patch something together. However, it seems that bevy is planning to transition to a new renderer that would break any more work here.

I plan to keep an eye on bevy development and see whether it is feasible to release a terra plugin for it in the future.

Hi, any update on this one, bevy 0.6 looks few months away, any hopes for a plugin for bevy?

[fintelia]

My current plan is to wait for the bevy 0.6 release, and then assess feasibility again

Hello, any update, now that 0.6 (and 0.7 in a few days) is out?

Last time I checked this was blocked on bevyengine/bevy#3595
