There we go, all 219k trees animating smoothly on desktop and mobile with postprocessing on. codesandbox.io/s/pdx-street-t… #webgl #threejs

@bruno_simon Love this effect. A Short Hike used it to great effect too. x.com/adamgryu/statu…

@garrettkjohnson Is this supported on FF mobile? I have to uncheck the useInstances checkbox to see anything, it's blank otherwise.

Here's the live demo of the prototype I put together for the PR: gkjohnson.github.io/batched-instan… Previously all drawn geometries had to be redundantly stored in the BatchedMesh geometry. This new change improves geometry memory usage from over 190MB to around 2KB! 2/3

It doesn't look like much here but Ive updated #threejs' BatchedMesh to support instancing in addition to batching including sorting and frustum culling! Here 20,000 items are drawn in a single draw call using only 3 unique geometries- a significant memory savings! 1/3 #webgl

@jmrivera02 I get that classifying games into broad genres can be reductive, but for me using more specific qualifiers (like Metroidbrainia in the case of Animal Well) is useful shorthand to draw my attention to harder-to-find experiences in games.

How it started vs how it's going, cherry coffee table edition. This is definitely the most complex build I've done so far 🫠 Designs, tons of milling, 4 panel glue ups, wide inset drawer, sanding galore. A healthy serving of mistakes that I hopefully learned from.

We just brought out all the hereditary lego (because my 4yo found where it was tucked away). Who's got good tips on lego storage setups for small kids?

@wesbos As a JS/TS dev, hard disagree on JS. It breaks down as soon as you start using it on anything moderately trying so it's Harbor Freight/Hercules

Programming languages as tool brands

@mollygos What's a good place to start with her work?

@FayerDev Nice. Well totally unrelated to Cocoon, I enjoyed Iris and the Giant, and Dicey Dungeons. Both fun, short turn-based games that are easy to pick up/put down while you're traveling.

@PFarnach Good one! But already played and finished 🥹

I'm going to take a loooong flight next week, so I'm looking for game recomendations. Please share with me cool sub 5h games that play great on Steam Deck!

@0xca0a Now use the Mask component to have different weather conditions on each face of the cube :)

@festivevector Beauty! How do you make it so smooth? Render the particles to a render texture and blur it there? Or just a boat load of particles?

this is how i create dynamic ocean wave effects in my sailing game! no fluid physics in sight, just particles 😌

@asidorenko_ Would this also work when using router.push to the same route with new query params?

2 strategies for showing a loading state when re-fetching current page in Next.js 13

@XRarchitect @samyam_youtube Hot take: this is terrible. For real, it's like the greatest minds of our generation are bent on finding fun new ways of hawking products.

Augmented Reality meets Billboard 👀 This real-time WebAR prototype, accessible via a link at this particular location, suggests a not-too-distant future where we seamlessly engage with our surroundings via AR wearables.

@gamewillpdx You can do it Hank, one paw in front of the other!

It was short lived but 🫶 😤

@reduzio @PhiMarHal As someone who's been using Unity for 6 years, both the software and the company behind it have turned into hot garbage, so I'm learning Godot now. Can't imagine I'm alone in thinking this.

@threejs versioning

It's that time again. What are your current pain points when developing Three.js projects?

No one makes a better case for dropping Unity than... checks notes... Unity. Don't keep up with the latest and greatest? Cool, we're gonna throw away 5 years of your projects.

Gotta respect the brazen lack of usefulness here

@threejs If only threejs followed semver we could make cool major release videos like these 😆

Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
