Most online tools only optimize file size, but they're still reinflated in memory. This tool will optimize your GLTF/GLB assets and export to GPU-compressed KTX2, entirely client-side. Try it here: gltf-optimizer.simondev.io #threejs #gamedev

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

In the future, you'll turn DLSS off and see this

🧵1/7 Performance optimisations, already?🔥 Optimised the vast forest in my open-world game Remnance - 3.5M → 950K triangles - GPU time 5.3ms → 3.0ms - Stable 60 FPS - Zero visual loss. Zero features removed Myth, Reality & Fix for every lesson learned #threejs #gamedev

@iced_coffee_dev Is this related to this tool? github.com/juunini/gltf-o…

If you're building a 3D website or a game, you really want your assets compressed this way. Free, desktop-only, KTX2 + mipmaps, mesh compression options (including Draco), built on the already excellent gltf-transform by @donrmccurdy gltf-optimizer.simondev.io

You can fiddle with the parameters, but one quick Sketchfab example: No compression: 39 MB file, 342 MB in memory Other online tools: 4.26 MB file, 22 MB in memory gltf-optimizer: 0.68 MB file, 6 MB in memory

Well it took an all nighter (isn't all the best coding done at 4AM?!), but Three.js Water Pro v2.0 has launched! 🚀 threejsroadmap.com/threejs-water-… Super excited about this launch—I've added a new wave system, sky/water transitions, improved foam effects, reflections, and so much more. Here's a little cinematic trailer I put together (sound on🫧). Enjoy!

🌄 First look at my Three.js open-world game! Physics ✓ Terrain ✓ Grass ✓ Day-night cycle ✓ Wind ✓ Cosy browser explorer game, no downloads! Journey from scene to playable game starts now. 🎮 What next? Drop ideas 👇 #gamedev #ThreeJS #WebGL #openworld #indiegame

@SahilK027 Looks awesome!

Built an interactive particle system using curl noise & GPGPU! 👉🏻 Demo: glsl-curl-noise.vercel.app 👉🏻 Code: github.com/SahilK-027/gls… Chaos has a rhythm, and sometimes the most beautiful motion comes from controlled chaos. ✨🌀 #threejs #GLSL #CurlNoise #GenerativeArt

Three.js r183 released 🦞 threejs.org/changelog/?r183

I made a visual shader editor for @threejs... and I'm ready for people to start breaking it! 🔨💥 threejsshadergraph.com

Metallic materials are now officially supported in my engine. Previously, I hacked this for some videos by interpreting inverse "roughness" as "metallic", but obviously that isn't a great long-term solution :)

Extending this to 2D is easy, a point on the unit circle is already: (cosθ, sinθ) So a simple orbit is just: • pos = center + radius * (cosθ, sinθ) (where θ changes over time)

Trig shows up everywhere in gamedev, but SOHCAHTOA isn’t that intuitive. Let’s cover what sin/cos are in a way that’s easy to understand, with some nice visual examples.
