PixiJS v8.17.0 is out 🎉 • Major improvements to text rendering • BlurFilter optimized for WebGL + WebGPU (faster + better quality) • tagStyles support in SplitText • Lots of bug fixes across Graphics, filters, and more

Working on an inner shadow filter for the next release. Great for matching Figma mockups and adding subtle depth to UI elements. Still working on the best way to showcase the effect...

We’ve been looking at refreshing our examples. Our current ones are… let’s say… very developer designed. We are definitely not designers. We prefer writing rendering engines. So this is slightly outside our comfort zone 😅

PixiJS v8.16.0 is out 🎉 - Return of Canvas 2D renderer - Tagged text for inline styling - Major SplitText improvements - Cube textures, external textures, mip level rendering - Broad engine stability updates Plus a small preview for 3D 👀 pixijs.com/blog/8.16.0

Beginning the performance optimisation journey! Currently rendering ~200,000 objects, all automatically batched. No manual setup required, the engine optimises the scene for you.

Early experiments with PBR materials, lighting, and shadows as we explore native 3D in PixiJS. Still rough around the edges, but the rendering pipeline is taking shape.

Sometimes you just need a little sprinkle of 3D in your 2D Started exploring that today, watch this space!

The canvas renderer is coming back in the next PixiJS release. This has been requested by the community since v8, and thanks to an awesome community contribution, it’s now a reality!

New year, new PixiJS features ✨ The next release introduces multi-style text: apply multiple styles inside a single text string. No more splitting text just to highlight a word!

@willeastcott @playcanvas Hey mate, I would not recommend! I took it out for Pixi v8 and now adding it back in before we release as a significant number of our user still need webgl1 :) About 3% ish. I wish that was not the case.. was so nice to eject a chunk of code!!

We're planning on removing WebGL 1.0 support in @playcanvas. If you don't think we should do it, say why in the comments.
