### Builder changes - Increased meshlet max vertices/triangles from 64v/64t to 255v/128t (meshoptimizer won't allow 256v sadly). This gives us a much greater percentage of meshlets with max triangle count (128). Still not perfect, we still end up with some tiny <=10 triangle meshlets that never really get simplified, but it's progress. - Removed the error target limit. Now we allow meshoptimizer to simplify as much as possible. No reason to cap this out, as the cluster culling code will choose a good LOD level anyways. Again leads to higher quality LOD trees. - After some discussion and consulting the Nanite slides again, changed meshlet group error from _adding_ the max child's error to the group error, to doing `group_error = max(group_error, max_child_error)`. Error is already cumulative between LODs as the edges we're collapsing during simplification get longer each time. - Bumped the 65% simplification threshold to allow up to 95% of the original geometry (e.g. accept simplification as valid even if we only simplified 5% of the triangles). This gives us closer to log2(initial_meshlet_count) LOD levels, and fewer meshlet roots in the DAG. Still more work to be done in the future here. Maybe trying METIS for meshlet building instead of meshoptimizer. Using ~8 clusters per group instead of ~4 might also make a big difference. The Nanite slides say that they have 8-32 meshlets per group, suggesting some kind of heuristic. Unfortunately meshopt's compute_cluster_bounds won't work with large groups atm (https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750#discussioncomment-10562641) so hard to test. Based on discussion from https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14998, https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750, and discord. ### Runtime changes - cluster:triangle packed IDs are now stored 25:7 instead of 26:6 bits, as max triangles per cluster are now 128 instead of 64 - Hardware raster now spawns 128 * 3 vertices instead of 64 * 3 vertices to account for the new max triangles limit - Hardware raster now outputs NaN triangles (0 / 0) instead of zero-positioned triangles for extra vertex invocations over the cluster triangle count. Shouldn't really be a difference idt, but I did it anyways. - Software raster now does 128 threads per workgroup instead of 64 threads. Each thread now loads, projects, and caches a vertex (vertices 0-127), and then if needed does so again (vertices 128-254). Each thread then rasterizes one of 128 triangles. - Fixed a bug with `needs_dispatch_remap`. I had the condition backwards in my last PR, I probably committed it by accident after testing the non-default code path on my GPU. |

What is Bevy?
Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!
WARNING
Bevy is still in the early stages of development. Important features are missing. Documentation is sparse. A new version of Bevy containing breaking changes to the API is released approximately once every 3 months. We provide migration guides, but we can't guarantee migrations will always be easy. Use only if you are willing to work in this environment.
MSRV: Bevy relies heavily on improvements in the Rust language and compiler. As a result, the Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is generally close to "the latest stable release" of Rust.
Design Goals
- Capable: Offer a complete 2D and 3D feature set
- Simple: Easy for newbies to pick up, but infinitely flexible for power users
- Data Focused: Data-oriented architecture using the Entity Component System paradigm
- Modular: Use only what you need. Replace what you don't like
- Fast: App logic should run quickly, and when possible, in parallel
- Productive: Changes should compile quickly ... waiting isn't fun
About
- Features: A quick overview of Bevy's features.
- News: A development blog that covers our progress, plans and shiny new features.
Docs

Contributing
If you'd like to help build Bevy, check out the Contributor's Guide. For simple problems, feel free to open an issue or PR and tackle it yourself!
For more complex architecture decisions and experimental mad science, please open an RFC (Request For Comments) so we can brainstorm together effectively!
Getting Started
We recommend checking out the Quick Start Guide for a brief introduction.
Follow the Setup guide to ensure your development environment is set up correctly. Once set up, you can quickly try out the examples by cloning this repo and running the following commands:
# Switch to the correct version (latest release, default is main development branch)
git checkout latest
# Runs the "breakout" example
cargo run --example breakout
To draw a window with standard functionality enabled, use:
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main(){
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.run();
}
Fast Compiles
Bevy can be built just fine using default configuration on stable Rust. However for really fast iterative compiles, you should enable the "fast compiles" setup by following the instructions here.
Bevy Cargo Features
This list outlines the different cargo features supported by Bevy. These allow you to customize the Bevy feature set for your use-case.
Thanks
Bevy is the result of the hard work of many people. A huge thanks to all Bevy contributors, the many open source projects that have come before us, the Rust gamedev ecosystem, and the many libraries we build on.
A huge thanks to Bevy's generous sponsors. Bevy will always be free and open source, but it isn't free to make. Please consider sponsoring our work if you like what we're building.
This project is tested with BrowserStack.
License
Bevy is free, open source and permissively licensed! Except where noted (below and/or in individual files), all code in this repository is dual-licensed under either:
- MIT License (LICENSE-MIT or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
- Apache License, Version 2.0 (LICENSE-APACHE or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
at your option. This means you can select the license you prefer! This dual-licensing approach is the de-facto standard in the Rust ecosystem and there are very good reasons to include both.
Some of the engine's code carries additional copyright notices and license terms due to their external origins.
These are generally BSD-like, but exact details vary by crate:
If the README of a crate contains a 'License' header (or similar), the additional copyright notices and license terms applicable to that crate will be listed.
The above licensing requirement still applies to contributions to those crates, and sections of those crates will carry those license terms.
The license field of each crate will also reflect this.
For example, bevy_mikktspace has code under the Zlib license (as well as a copyright notice when choosing the MIT license).
The assets included in this repository (for our examples) typically fall under different open licenses. These will not be included in your game (unless copied in by you), and they are not distributed in the published bevy crates. See CREDITS.md for the details of the licenses of those files.
Your contributions
Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
