bevy_mod_billboard

Billboard text and texture support for bevy

Todo

• Follow Rust API Guidelines: https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/about.html
• Batching

Features

• Styled text with multiple fonts.
• Textures.
• Depth culling enabling/disabling (enabled by default).
• Y-axis locking (disabled by default).
• Full rotation lock for stuff like 3D world-space text (@robftm)
• HDR support (@robtfm)

Limitations

• Uses texture_array for text, according to this, it doesn't work on webgl2.

Bevy Compatibility

Example

Setup:

use bevy_mod_billboard::prelude::*;

App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_plugin(BillboardPlugin);

Text:

commands.spawn(BillboardTextBundle {
    transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(0., 2., 0.))
        .with_scale(Vec3::splat(0.0085)),
    text: Text::from_sections([
        TextSection {
            value: "IMPORTANT".to_string(),
            style: TextStyle {
                font_size: 60.0,
                font: fira_sans_regular_handle.clone(),
                color: Color::ORANGE,
            }
        },
        TextSection {
            value: " text".to_string(),
            style: TextStyle {
                font_size: 60.0,
                font: fira_sans_regular_handle.clone(),
                color: Color::WHITE,
            }
        }
    ]).with_alignment(TextAlignment::CENTER),
    ..default()
});

Texture:

fn spawn_billboard_texture(
    mut billboard_textures: ResMut<Assets<BillboardTexture>>,
    // rest
) {
    commands.spawn(BillboardTextureBundle {
        transform: Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(0., 5., 0.)),
        texture: billboard_textures.add(BillboardTexture::Single(image_handle.clone()),
        mesh: meshes.add(Quad::new(Vec2::new(4.0, 4.0)).into()).into(),
        ..default()
    });
}
