dartvel_scene 0.13.4

The 3D renderer for Dartvel's DVBox.scene, backed by Flutter Scene on Flutter GPU (WebGL2 on the web).

dartvel_scene

The 3D renderer behind DVBox.scene, on Flutter Scene: Flutter GPU on native targets and Flutter Scene's WebGL2 backend in a browser.

Use it

# pubspec.yaml
dependencies:
  dartvel_scene: ^0.11.5

dartvel:
  scene3d:
    enabled: true

That is all. The generated runtime installs the renderer, and dartvel build switches Flutter GPU on in each platform's own files (Android manifest, iOS and macOS Info.plist, the Linux and Windows runners), taking it out again if you turn scene3d off. You never edit android/, ios/, macos/, linux/ or windows/. A project that turns scene3d on without this package is refused by the build with the command that fixes it.

DVBox.scene(
  DVScene(
    label: 'A green box on the ground',
    nodes: <DVSceneNode>[
      DVMesh.plane(10, 10).material(grass),
      DVMesh.box(const DVVec3(1, 1, 1)).material(paint).position(const DVVec3(0, 0.5, 0)),
      DVLight.directional(direction: const DVVec3(-1, -2, -1)).shadows(),
      DVSceneCamera.orbit(distance: 6, controls: true),
    ],
  ),
)

Materials

A mesh's material is an asset holding a small JSON document:

{"baseColor": "#1F8A4C", "metallic": 0, "roughness": 0.8, "emissive": "#000000", "opacity": 1}

Every field is optional. A key it does not know, a colour that does not parse or a number outside 0 to 1 is refused when the scene loads, naming the field, rather than rendering white.

Status

Part of the 3D Scenes section of the specification, Partial in docs/spec-status.json.

Built and tested: the renderer adapter (draws, lights, camera, glTF models, primitives with JSON materials), the poster with gpuInitFailed on a target without Flutter GPU, the per-platform Flutter GPU switch and the generated install. Rendering is verified in headless Chrome.

Not yet: rendering checked on Linux, Android, iOS, macOS and Windows devices; environment maps from scene assets (the engine's studio environment lights every scene); textures and .fmat materials; animations; physics.

Needs Flutter 3.47 (3.47.1 for Flutter GPU in Linux and Windows release builds).
