The last couple of years of my work at Unity is becoming official! I've been working on the #WebGPU driver for #untiy3D, and the official forum post was just posted!

Since I've left my job I've been working on something for the Vision Pro 🙃 However, @warpling and I still found some time to make a fun little app called Newji!
Create stickers of anything directly inside iMessage!
Make something fun and weird!

You know how the old saying goes: if you update someone’s phone, they’ll have new emojis for a night; if you give them Newji they’ll have new emojis for the rest of their life. Pizza rat? Lizard candle? Someone with long luscious chestnut hair holding up a white Siberian kitten? All emojis now. Lo…
I’ve been building a new app with my friend @robertlong :)

Give it a try and post your first emojis in the reply or spider pig will come tickle your ears tonight!
Apple has been a big proponent of using USD(Z) for realtime models, including on the web through the <model> tag proposal.
But it's worth mentioning that when they needed a high-quality, material-accurate, realtime model of the iPhone 15 for their site, they used glTF to deliver it. 😁
Major new tool for optimizing 3D models, thanks to a sponsorship from Muse (https://www.muse.place/). glTF Transform now generates palette textures, automatically merging solid materials.
Example below reduced losslessly from 17 draws → 4 draws.
