feat(tools/bevy_blueprints): bevy plugin + blender addon for components UI to more easily create components (#70) * adds a new crate: ```bevy_registry_export``` to be able to create a json import of the registered component/type definitions * adds a new Blender addon: ```bevy_components``` that takes that json data to generate custom UIs for components , to be to add & edit components easily in Blender * also adds component metadata per object for more advanced features * etc * updates to bevy_gltf_components & bevy_gltf_blueprints to add legacy_mode to support the "old"/current style component definitions * same with gltf_auto_export Blender add_on * closes #60

# Workflow: UI
The workflow goes as follows (once you got your Bevy code setup)
## Bevy side
- create & register all your components you want to be able to set from the Blender side (this is basic Bevy, no specific work needed)
feat(Blenvy): complete overhaul and re branding to : Blenvy (#192) - replaced the various crates with a single one - replaced the Blender add-ons with a single one - this is an alpha release ! - for features etc see the various docs
2024-08-14 14:40:59 +00:00
- follow the instructions in the [blenvy](./crates/blenvy/) to generate a registry export
feat(tools/bevy_blueprints): bevy plugin + blender addon for components UI to more easily create components (#70) * adds a new crate: ```bevy_registry_export``` to be able to create a json import of the registered component/type definitions * adds a new Blender addon: ```bevy_components``` that takes that json data to generate custom UIs for components , to be to add & edit components easily in Blender * also adds component metadata per object for more advanced features * etc * updates to bevy_gltf_components & bevy_gltf_blueprints to add legacy_mode to support the "old"/current style component definitions * same with gltf_auto_export Blender add_on * closes #60

to add & edit your components visually & reliably

## Exporting to gltf
- export your level as a glb/gltf file :
- using Blender's default gltf exporter
!!**IMPORTANT** you need to check the following:
- custom properties
- cameras & lights if you want a complete level (as in this example)

## Now use your gltf files in Bevy
- load it in Bevy (see the various examples for this)
- you should see the components attached to your entities in Bevy
![components in bevy](./docs/components_bevy.png)
![components in bevy](./docs/components_bevy2.png)
![components in bevy](./docs/components_bevy3.png)
> note: you get a warning if there are any unregistered components in your gltf file (they get ignored)
you will get a warning **per entity**
