Using gaussian splats and classic meshes in one web realtime scene. This allows me to use the benefits of each technique. Complicated materials like fuzzy fur can be visualized perfectly with a gaussian splat, while I use meshes for everything else.

Loading images is one of the most fundamental things a browser does. It turns out that doing it efficiently from JavaScript is an open problem. There are multiple APIs available and the right choice depends on the browser you are targeting.

I fixed the shader imports in spark.js to work with static analysis, so you can estimate bundle sizes for WebGL and WebGPU.

In practice, though, shaders are imported dynamically. You only pay for what you use, so the actual overhead is tiny.

I'm excited to announce the release of spark.js 0.1 now with support for WebGL!

I've put together an updated version of the Sponza scene with uncompressed PNG and compressed AVIF textures. I wrote about the process and compared the results against KTX.

While working on spark.js, I realized that normal map compression formats weren’t supported in popular frameworks like three.js. I addressed that gap by adding the necessary support to three.js and wrote an article to shed some light on the topic, drawing from my experience in real-time 3D graphics.

웹상에서 지속되는(persistent) 월드 모델을 구현했다는 발표. 60초 제한이 없으며 World Labs가 SparkJS, Three.js, Rapier를 조합해 브라우저 기반의 지속적 3D/물리 월드를 제공하는 시도임을 시사.
