bevy_stl
A STL loader for bevy.
STL is a very simple format, which supports only triangular geometry (positions + normals), without any color / uv / texture information.
It is supported as an output format by most CAD software.
Alternatives
- by default bevy can load glTF scenes, which is a much better choice if you are looking for a way to load more complex models / scenes, including materials, animations, etc.
- bevy_obj can load Wavefront .obj files, which can carry more information than STL (such as color, material, UV coordinates)
Usage
- Add
bevy_stl to your Cargo.toml
- Add
bevy_stl::StlPlugin plugin to the bevy App
- Load STL assets by passing paths with ".stl" extension to
asset_server.load(..)
Example
```rust
fn main() {
App::build()
.addplugin(bevystl::StlPlugin)
.addstartupsystem(setup.system())
// ...
.run();
}
fn setup(commands: &mut Commands, assetserver: Res, mut materials: ResMut>) {
commands
.spawn(PbrBundle {
mesh: assetserver.load("disc.stl"),
material: materials.add(Color::rgb(0.9, 0.4, 0.3).into()),
..Default::default()
})
// ...
}
```
