Using the procedural art engine as a library? #1692

Closed TheKnarf closed 6 months ago

TheKnarf commented 6 months ago

Let's say your making a game, and you do the art in Graphite, and then you want to import it into a game your writing in Bevy; is there a way to modify the art live as a part of your game? All of this procedural design workflow and node-based layers and stuff seems like it would be great if it could be embedded in the game itself and modified live.

Yeah, thanks for asking, this is definitely an intended use case and you can see some of the work towards that in the graphene-cli crate which provides a simple command line wrapper for the nodegraph. The system is definetly intended to be usable as a library.

Maybe some documentation about this use-case could be added to the website? It also doesn't seem like the use of those crates have any documentation docs.rs on how they are ment to be used?

You can find this on the public roadmap: "Portable, embeddable render engine" (at the very bottom).

This currently isn't being worked on for the moment @TheKnarf. Perhaps we could look at something like Rive cross platform animations https://rive.app/blog/rive-renderer-now-open-source-and-available-on-all-platforms
