⚠️ Beta State

PyBevy is in an early and experimental stage. The API is incomplete, subject to breaking changes without notice, and you should expect bugs. Many features are still under development.

Color Grading

Apply post-processing color adjustments to the camera output.

Introduction

Color grading adjusts the final image output — exposure, gamma, saturation, and contrast. It's used to create mood and atmosphere in games and films.

from pybevy.prelude import *
from math import pi

Setup

Create a standard 3D scene. Color grading would be applied via camera components.

def setup(
    commands: Commands,
    meshes: ResMut[Assets[Mesh]],
    materials: ResMut[Assets[StandardMaterial]],
) -> None:
    commands.spawn(
        Mesh3d(meshes.add(Circle(4.0))),
        MeshMaterial3d(materials.add(Color.WHITE)),
        Transform.from_rotation(Quat.from_rotation_x(-pi / 2.0)),
    )
    commands.spawn(
        Mesh3d(meshes.add(Cuboid.from_length(1.0))),
        MeshMaterial3d(materials.add(Color.srgb_u8(124, 144, 255))),
        Transform.from_xyz(0.0, 0.5, 0.0),
    )
    commands.spawn(PointLight(shadows_enabled=True), Transform.from_xyz(4.0, 8.0, 4.0))
    commands.spawn(Camera3d(), Transform.from_xyz(-3.0, 3.0, 5.0).looking_at(Vec3.ZERO, Vec3.Y))

Running the App

@entrypoint
def main(app: App) -> App:
    return app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins).add_systems(Startup, setup)
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main().run()

Running this example

Use PyBevy's hot reload feature to run and develop this example. If you don't have PyBevy installed, check out the Quick Start guide.

$pybevy watch color_grading.py

The code will reload automatically when you make changes to the file.

From Python to Rust

Notice how the core concepts in the code—Commands, Assets, App, and Systems—are identical to the original Bevy example?

This is the power of pybevy! It lets you learn Bevy's powerful, data-driven architecture in friendly Python.

When your project grows and you're ready for maximum, native performance, you'll already know the concepts to start writing systems in Bevy Engine with Rust.
