Timelapse of a sun cycle in the browser powered by #WebGPU

Quest Browser 146.0 now has experimental support for WebGPU in #WebXR. Turn on "webXR experimental features" in "chrome://flags" and the API will be available. Thanks @toji.dev for the demo file! Feedback welcome.

Testing of the #WebGPU Markov Chain Path Guiding continues

Interested in how Geometry Nodes work in Blender? In this blog I walk through the process of making a 3D node-based renderer from scratch using #WebGPU and Typescript. whoisryosuke.com/blog/2026/we...

We have a clear winner: a #WebGPU implementation of Lucas Alber's "Real-Time Markov Chain Path Guiding for Global Illumination and Single Scattering" with 26 votes! 🎉 OGC was second with 18, and the intro to neural shading 3rd with 7 votes. Your support == more awesome tech: github.com/sponsors/jure

Four hours of voting remaining, looks like Markov Chain Path Guiding will win it.

Half-time results are in! When counting both platforms, the Markov Chain Path Guiding project is in a slight lead, followed by Offset Geometric Contact! ████████████████████ MCPG (20) █████████████████ OGC (17) ████ Neural Shading (4) There's still time to vote for your favorite project! 🫵

What should I work on next? I'll share what's on my computer right now and you decide which gets completed next. And finally (3/3), we have a new blog post: Introduction to Neural Shading with WebGPU. Likes count as one vote, reposts as 2, and supporters (github.com/sponsors/jure) x4. Vote away!

Working on the next blog post. Last year at SIGGRAPH there was this amazing course called "Introduction to Neural Shading" and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

Huge shout out to Kenan for sponsoring webphysics on github.com/sponsors/jure! What a legend

After a great response from Chris Giles, one of the authors of the AVBD paper, a new +>100% performance boost for the #WebGPU physics engine just landed on github.com/jure/webphys... Thanks Chris!

The #WebGPU AVBD-based physics engine is now live! Webphysics Live Demo: jure.github.io/webphysics/ Code: github.com/jure/webphys...

Running a few more advanced stability tests for the upcoming #WebGPU physics engine - Thanks "Domino" Tim for the patterns!

Yo, I heard you like #WebGPU, so I put some #WebGPU in your #WebGPU.

More safety testing

Finally, chair-o-plane safety testing can be done from the comfort of your browser. Thanks, #WebGPU!

Make a cool demo, they said. It will be fun, they said.

Stacks! Low stacks, high stacks, lots of stacks! Cloth, ropes, bridges, springs! 50,000 block destruction in realtime! The #WebGPU physics engine, based on last year's SIGGRAPH "Real-Time Live!" winner AVBD, is almost here. Follow for updates!

We have a new 3D AVBD Web Demo for our "Augmented Vertex Block Descent" method. Thanks, Chris Giles! Try it yourself: graphics.cs.utah.edu/research/pro... Source code available.

“Surfel-based global illumination on the web, using three.js and WebGPU.” So much good stuff here by @juretriglav.bsky.social — demo! interactive illustrations! source code! A deep dive but clearly explained, fun, and worth the time. juretriglav.si/surfel-based...

Working on a #WebGPU implementation of the AVBD (Augmented Vertex Block Descent) paper by Giles et al., which had a jaw dropping demo at SIGGRAPH last year. Thousands and thousands of objects interacting in real time.

Environment map sampling & backgrounds are now supported in the WebGPU path tracer! Slowly but surely we're getting features ported over. Thanks to "TheBlek" for getting this added! #threejs #webgpu #javascript #raytracing

The #WebGPU global illumination engine is getting somewhere, now with volumetric light shafts (00:58) and fully destructible environments. Sorry about the mouse cursor, that's how you know it's real, AI would _never_.

Making a #WebGPU implementation of Lucas Alber's Markov Chain Path Guiding GI paper

V tem tednu praznovanja slovenske kulture, ki bo svoj vrhunec doseglo 8. februarja, na praznik našega največjega pesnika Franceta Prešerna, je aplikacija Poezije brezplačna. 🇸🇮 🎉 apps.apple.com/us/app/poezi...

New post on how to do real-time diffuse global illumination using surfels and #WebGPU: juretriglav.si/surfel-based... #threejs

Made an app, biggest library of Slovenian public domain poetry, >3k poems, >90 authors, now #1 paid app in Books category & #2 overall in my country. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no tracking, no accounts - just a one time price for a great app. apps.apple.com/si/app/poezi...

Another #Siggraph, another tech crush. This time it’s surfels! ❤️💚💙

I’m presenting at SIGGRAPH with @ibrews.bsky.social Thursday at 10:15!

Late night #BCON24 afterburner. The idea being that you write some compute shaders, run them in real time through the Python API, then make that data "real" with geometry nodes. PR to Blender that enables this is coming soon.

Some hacking at #BCON24, a million cubes driven in real time by compute shaders exposed in the Python API.

Thinking of going a bit further with my WebXR entry for this year’s #js13k. Not too much, just a bit… js13kgames.com/2024/games/t...

First conference in a long time that I could take a train to! Started in Ljubljana, 6 hours later I was/am in lovely Vienna. If anyone’s at #AWE2023, let’s meet and talk XR :)

Gave my #JS13K entry a life of its own: 1k257.com If you ever played Galcon then this concept should be familiar, but now in 3D and #WebXR VR.
