Today I release new GPU Particle Volumes system and the GPU Snow Particle shaders for it! This snow shader can render hundreds of thousands of particles at the same time even on a weak GPU. It also supports VRC Light Volumes. Get it on my Booth or Patreon!

This week I've been working on the VRChat Light Volumes scripts to bring you an easy and comfortable editor workflow. I also implemented the Volumes rotation feature and optimized the shader a lot to make it work even more solid on potatoe-PCs. Here's a small video of how it currently works.

I'm working on a new major VRC Light Volumes update! - Baked realtime shadows (very performant) - Animated cookies and cubemaps - Optimized area lights - No more legacy code - Almost full back compatibility with older light volumes shaders (excluding new shadows)

A very rough proof of concept of Baked Directional AO for VRC Light Volumes. I'm not sure if I want to integrate it into light volumes for real, but it could be a VERY performant solution to make super cheap realtime contact shadows.

Today I improved GPU Grass with a feature I call "batched instancing". It builds a grass batch at runtime and instances it. No world size increase, less GPU memory usage, runtime grass amount control, and better perf. 144 FPS with 11.2M grass triangles visible to the horizon!

Now Point Light Volumes supports Cubemap projections! Volumetric fog makes it look just stunning! But here's some bad news... If I release it, all world creators will need to update their worlds to the new Light Volumes version. Otherwise it will break the back compatibility. Updating avatars will be really suggested too, to support the point light volumes, but worlds are something that is more important! But it will be just as easy as to reupload the world.

Spot Light Volumes! Everything is parametric here and not baked into a 3D texture, as regular light volumes, which makes it even more optimized. Will work on it a little bit more and see if it's worth to add it to the main project branch.

Only two days left until 2026, and I'm releasing a new GPU Fireworks asset to celebrate the New Year! It includes timer that launches fireworks at each time zone. You can also generate any firework mesh you want! And it lights up the world with VRCLV.

How I created 3D soft body character from simple particle physics. It took a few months of intense computer science and inventing algorithms to trick a bunch of GPU computed physical particles into dynamically controlling a mesh.

New prototype of VRC Light Volumes real-time shadows! It uses EVSM сontact-hardening soft shadows. Performance seems good on PC, but I will do more tests. Finally something that looks better than what you can achieve in Unity by default!

Something-something Point Light Volumes? Not sure if I will integrate it, but I just don't like people using baked volumes as fake point lights and spot lights. Integration for shader makers would just require to update my .cginc file I provide. For people - to update the shader and reupload their avatars again. Not sure if it's worth it, but we'll see...

Another thing that is going to be released with next version of VRC Light Volumes, is an in-game debugger tool! You'll be able to preview every volume, voxel, and point light. Works in any world that supports VRC Light Volumes.

I have been working on a side project that adds moving and interactable Grass. This shader supports Light Volumes made by RED_SIM! No baked Lightmaps (in grass) or Real-time lights! #VRChat #VRC

Moving all scenegraph and render to the GPU was hard, but it was worth it. Now it is possible to generate geometry/nodes/objects/materials on the GPU, and nothing is going to the system memory to update BVH or other subsystems. Here is a single 2080Ti with 5 2k screens:

gpu kernels on on my computer writing other gpu kernels for the same chip to simulate 100ks of particles, each an agent + neural network sensing K bg fields and allocating energy to A actions, at 1000s steps/s, for thermodynamic artificial life i think maybe not a bubble lads

A new clustered froxel-based lighting prototype for Light Volumes 3.0.0! It uses froxels to precompute visible light IDs, so shader don't have to iterate through every light. This scene has 128 active lights and performs around 60 FPS on Android. ~13 FPS with no clustering.
