Prototyping a WebGPU compute rasterizer for Gaussian Splats at... PlayCanvas. No quads, no draw calls — just pure compute shaders blending of splats per tile. Here's the tile load heatmap.show more

Many 3D generators output Gaussian Splats (3DGS) for fast... rendering, flexible deployment, and high visual fidelity. Static 3DGS aren't world models (no dynamics/semantics) but a true world model must allow distilling 3D-consistent representations for any given time step (3DGS/meshes). This post-distillation serves a dual purpose: 1) validates physical consistency of the model. 2) extracting explicit representations avoids continuously running a heavy generator, thus saves compute and facilitates real-time interaction.show more

🎨 Gaussian Splat rigging opens infinite artistic possibilities! Realtime... rendering with my VHS effect in VR 1.5M splats running at 80 FPS in VR with bone-based Mixamo rig animation. Travel into the volumetric worlds of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, reimagined in that bold 1980s sci-fi aesthetic ✨ World Labs Theoretically Media Technical • GPU compute shader skinning (256 threads) • Linear Blend Skinning (LBS) with up to 4 bones per splat • Bind pose capture for accurate deformation • CommandBuffer synchronization for frame-perfect timing Why splats are perfect for comic art I think: Each splat is a volumetric 3D ellipsoid that naturally creates crisp edges and flat color regions—the essence of cel-shading. No complex shader tricks needed. The volumetric representation itself gives you that graphic novel aesthetic. #Realtime #GaussianSplatting #VR #GameDev #Unity3D #VolumetricRendering #ComicArtshow more

🟢 News: GPU compute in the browser is finally... real. WebGPU now ships by default in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge—not a polyfill, not behind a flag. You can run LLMs client-side. Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime already ship WebGPU backends. Eight years of spec work. No more asterisks. 🔗 #WebGPU #GPU #Chrome #Safari #Firefox #Edgeshow more

🧊 Splats → Voxels: Bridging 3D Gaussian Splatting with...

Getting a bunch of questions about this! It's a... full gpu rendering pipeline with built in shader editor for Rive, which can interleave 2D + 3D. Think WebGPU (minus compute, for now) that runs anywhere, not just the browser. You can implement anything at all. Cell shading. Background blurs. Deformation effects. And yes, even Rive vector components as textures. Shaders are precompiled and ship with your .riv. Minimal runtime size impact. Still WIP.show more

👀 Ever see a 3D sci-fi energy shield like... this? Realtime, interactive (per-tile), procedurally animated, and has layers of shaders with particle effects - I wanted to make something unique and "technically advanced", but also modular for performance scaling. It's straightforward to address individual tiles and hook in your own effects and calls with custom events. I'll be posting this very soon (for Unity URP).show more

THE CLOUD BILL WAS $14,000 A MONTH. EVERY MONTH.... JUST FOR GPU ACCESS. No ownership. No hardware. Just renting someone else's chips and watching the invoice grow. So this startup did the math and bought 1,000 Mac Mini M4s instead. $599 each. One-time. Total: ~$599,000 upfront. Sounds insane. Until you do the math the other way. $14K/mo in cloud GPUs is $168K a year. In 3.5 years you've burned through $599K and own nothing. The meter just keeps running. These guys own the hardware. Same output. Less power draw. And after year 4, every month of compute is basically free. The M4 was never built for data centers. But its performance per watt is so good that someone looked at a rack of a thousand of them and thought "why not." That's when it clicks. The AI infrastructure race isn't about who has the biggest GPU anymore. It's about who figured out they were overpaying for one. Would you make this switch?show more
