Visionary 3D

Here's the kind of magic you can create with the new version of @threejs

WebGPU on iOS is so good! Three.js r182 was just released today, so it’s time to onboard new users in Three Blocks! If you’re interested in starting, DM me for early access.

@lanlanlanpai pls don't import react for this its like 50 lines of pure js..

@onirenaud Cool. Did this with raw webgpu a long time ago. It was about time 😄

Just finished implementing StorageTexture3D in threejs and added a new example to show how it works! Real-time 3D texture computation is now possible with WebGPU. Super fun to see it running live!

@unmodify @threejs A video on this will be posted soon where I share more details… but in short: this is using a compute shader to position points inside a mesh, an atomic counter to determine the number of points and indirect drawing. ( also you’d have to zoom in on the material to see details)

@visionary_3_d @threejs Looking at the picture I can't quite tell what's special can you explain what to look at?

Here's the kind of magic you can create with the new version of @threejs

@kitaedesigns @threejs Not so recently but yes… indirect draw support.

@visionary_3_d @threejs Oh we’ve had pretty good support for WebGPU for awhile, is there anything that changed drastically recently?

@mrdoob sorry for your loss ❤️

Adiós mama ~ 🙏🧡

@yacineMTB It surprises me that you're thinking this as well. I just re-watched it recently 😄

i should watch this again

@kitaedesigns @threejs What I’m referring to is the webgpu version actually…

@visionary_3_d @threejs Why this particular release?

@codetarded @threejs Both

@visionary_3_d @threejs are you using TSL? or just WGSL?

@GeorgePetri_ @threejs tsl itself is pretty cool, although this is tsl and wgsl mixed.

@visionary_3_d @threejs that tsl thing seems pretty cool

@NicolasZu @threejs yup

@visionary_3_d @threejs Is this webgpu?

I told you earlier... but this time I wanted to show you.

@SunsetLearn Yeah. We just have to give this a few years before we expect anything at the quality of games people play today!

I do think it's quickly catching up other modern graphics APIs, though. And non-coincidentally, it does seem like there's an uptick of people trying to build better game tooling on the web recently. But I agree. More than anything, accessible tooling lifts a huge barrier to entry.

We've had WebGPU and high-powered GPU hardware for a while now. My question is, if people are so bullish on frameworks like Three.js, why haven't we gotten high-quality production AAA or AA experiences, on par with something you would see during Summer Games Fest? Some guesses: 1. Three.js is just so beginner friendly, that it mostly attracts beginner indie devs who don't have much experience making games. Most of them never go past small demo projects, and never dig too deep into the necessary nuances of graphics or games programming, enough to push through into AAA land. 2. Most professinal game devs work in native, professional grade game engines, as they have been doing for decades. A very small fraction of them care or are bullish about web dev, but in general not enough of them do. 3. Few studios (like @BitshiftEnt) seem to be building actual production games that are web-facing, but they're doing so using custom renderers built around custom engines. Most people aren't willing to get down and dirty with custom solutions (even if its just modifying Three.js sources and building around that). 4. Streaming assets is a little trickier on the web, but this might not be a particularly difficult problem to solve, it's just that people haven't earnestly tried in the context of completed games.

As expected... but very Cool 🔥

@iced_coffee_dev That's a very beautiful presentation. Very nice 😁

Just added the next part of the graphs and data structures section, covering traversal and pathfinding! Combined they're about 2.5 hours of new content, live now! 🔗 simondev.io #threejs #gamedevelopment

@MaximeHeckel Your blog is amazing Maxime, love your work! You should give WebGPU a try, I think you'd love it.

📝 New Blog Post 📝 I finally sat down to write about what I learned building a Volumetric Lighting effect for the web In it, I detail how to blend raymarching with post-processing to create beautiful atmospheric light to elevate your next WebGL project blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/shaping-…

This is a work in progress!

a new video on TSL will be coming soon... I'm preparing it, right now.

the new version of @threejs is extremely capable.
