The demo is live! It still needs some optimization but it's a good start. Add ?debug=true for stats and controls.
Demo: instanced-mesh-showcase.verc…
Code: github.com/agargaro/instance…
How it works:
• 4 LODs simplified at runtime with meshoptimizer
• BVH for culling and raycasts (0.2 ms vs 90 ms linear)
• sub-pixel culling with onFrustumEnter
• flame, smoke, sparks and lasers in one InstancedMesh2
• same API on WebGPURenderer and WebGLRenderer
npm i @three.ez/instanced-mesh@beta
Library: github.com/agargaro/instance…
Demo source: github.com/agargaro/instance…
Today I started rewriting InstancedMesh2 to make it compatible with WebGPURenderer.
InstancedMesh2 has been used more widely than I expected, and I’m grateful to you all.

My best friend @LuigiDenora’s enthusiasm after the three.js conf convinced me to get back to my open-source projects. I’ll use AI sparingly, so progress may be slow, but I’m really happy to be working on this again. Repo + findings soon.

Thanks to @mrdoob, three-gpu-pathtracer now includes a drag-and-drop viewer for binary glTF files 🚀 I've added a link to the viewer in the repo!

With WebGPU, AAA graphics on the web isn’t a dream anymore.
Devs just need native-grade tools. That’s why I’m building Three.js Plus.
Today I added GPU culling. Here 5M PBR cubes distributed in <10ms on a convex geo, running at 120fps thanks to object culling & indirect draws.
Today’s work reminded me: tossing more OSS into the void isn’t it. Too often it fades without support.
So instead, I’m putting care into how I share, bundling the code I use daily at @utsuboco into Threejs Plus: advanced, always-up-to-date WebGPU-first components.

Sound on & bring friends with you.
Open to new opportunities.

Excited to announce that I've shipped my first game! Written from the ground up in @threejs in 3 months and published on @VIVERSEofficial
Some tech stuff that I'm really proud of:
- fully custom spherical harmonics prt lighting. Giving a baked diffuse look while still allowing for dynamic objects
- Runs completely inside a WebWorker (rendering & simulation) using OffscreenCanvas
- Supports all input types: desktop, mobile, gamepad (non-trivial if your app runs in a worker!)
- No Postprocessing! No bloom - everything you see is faked via mesh based shaders for performance reasons
Huge thanks to @VIVERSEofficial who have made this possible by letting me into their Creator Program. It's not easy to make a living off gamedev on the web yet, so this is great for the ecosystem. All links below: #VIVERSE #threejs #IndieGameDev
Playing with my octahedral impostors library 🤓
There are still things to improve, should I continue?
I created a demo with a terrain 3072 x 3072 and 200k trees. It should work on mobile too!

Octahedral imposters mentioned yesterday @agargaro_dev. In the shader, I compute the quad the sprite is in, barycentric coordinates, then intepolate between frames.
First pass, not super robust. They're alpha-tested and the blending could use work.
