🚀 PixiJS 8.11.0 is here!

Split text into characters, words, and lines for full control over text effects with the new SplitText class

Also: quality-of-life updates with container.origin, container.replaceChild, and breakWords support for BitmapText

👉 pixijs.com/blog/8.11.0

Text animation just got easier in PixiJS!

Inspired by @gsap-greensock.bsky.social's SplitText, you can now easily break down text into characters, words, or lines and let the animation magic begin. 💚

Shipping with v8.11.0 soon!

🚀 New LLM Docs

If you’ve asked an LLM for help with PixiJS v8, there’s a good chance it gave you v7 code.

We’ve just published our llms.txt files to help fix that.

🔗 pixijs.com/8.x/llms

It's a small step, but hopefully one that leads to better answers!

🌟 The PixiJS Showcase is returning! 🌟

We're relaunching at end of the month, highlighting awesome projects built with PixiJS on our website.

Today, we released an experimental feature in v8.9.0 that allows devs to control the transform of DOM elements as if they were attached to your scene. This is helpful for things like textareas or inputs which can be challenging to implement completely in PixiJS codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/z2...

The latest release of PixiJS now supports using radial gradients. Checkout this guide for details about different approach for using fill with Graphics: pixijs.com/guides/compo...

Looking to add marching ants into your project? Checkout this new v8 plugin @pixi/marquee-selection github.com/pixijs-userl...

We’ve just released PixiJS Create – a CLI tool that makes setting up PixiJS projects faster and easier! 🚀 Choose from bundler templates or a feature-packed "Creation Template" to get started.

Back by popular demand, in v8.6.0 we re-added an improved version of v7's cacheAsBitmap, which we renamed cacheAsTexture (RIP Flash).

Example: pixijs.com/examples/basic/cache-as-texture
Guide: pixijs.com/guides/advanced/cache-as-texture

We released v8.6.0, and one of the features re-added from v7 is pixels lines with Graphics. These native lines are always 1px, regardless of scale. Ideal for debugging, drawing grids, UI, etc.
