Evian's Bicentennial WebGPU World, Where Rain Runs Downhill

Evian's 200th turned into an alpine scene that hands everything to the GPU: rain that lands on peaks and streaks down the slopes, one wind texture every object obeys, lightning generated fresh on each strike, and 20,000 particles colliding against an SDF instead of meshes.

A Portfolio You Walk Through: Hot Dogtor's WebGPU Building

Paulo Pinho built his portfolio as a 3D building you wander room by room, scored by his own music. Runs on three.js WebGPU, falls back to WebGL, and ships a Basic version for everyone else. One site, three fidelity tiers, no pretending everyone's on a 4090.

Real-Time Global Illumination in the Browser With SATORI Engine

A WebGPU renderer where light actually bounces. Color bleeds across walls, reflections fade off the frame, and the sun slides overhead while exposure holds steady. Built on TSL nodes with a single MRT pass feeding screen-space GI and reflections. Open the GUI and break something.

A 9k Forest: Node-Based 3D Assets in WebGPU

Sedon wires a node graph into a real-time WebGPU renderer to grow a whole forest from about 9k of data. Rayleigh skies, rippling water, runtime LOD terrain, and a saved scene that fits in a URL. The twist: nearly every shader and pipeline was vibe coded, no engine involved.

SuperSplat: Editing 3D Gaussian Splats in the Browser

A few million ellipsoids that snap into a photoreal coffee shop, an ant, the Moon. SuperSplat is a browser-based editor for cleaning up 3D Gaussian splats, with GPU-accelerated selection, unlimited undo, and a streamed LOD format for massive scenes. Open source, nothing to install.

Zenith Observation Studio: An Observatory You Visit Instead of Read

A WebGL site that treats deep space as a place, not a pitch. Stars hold steady, depth stacks behind depth, and lighting carries the identity that copy usually does. Tiny on text, enormous on atmosphere. Open it on a big screen and look before you click.

GPU-Side Physics: A Three.js WebGPU Compute Demo

Thousands of instanced bodies tumble and collide, with the entire physics step running on the GPU through WebGPU compute and Three.js TSL. No CPU round trip, no framerate flinch. A clean little workbench from Kevin Levron, built to inspect, tweak, and learn from.

SnookerSim: Snooker With Physics You Can Measure

A 3D snooker table you can just walk up to and play. Side spin curls the cue ball off the cushion, deep screw draws it back, and a cage-and-jaw view shows exactly why your ball rattled out. Physics in plain TypeScript, no off-the-shelf engine. Shareable positions, MP4 capture, real recorded sound.

Shader Lab: Stack, Animate, and Export GPU Shaders in the Browser

A layered shader compositor that runs on WebGPU. Stack gradients, text, and TSL passes, then bend them through a CRT layer that models phosphor smear and channel convergence. Write shaders as node graphs, keyframe the knobs, and export the whole thing into React.

Google Introduces HTML-in-Canvas API: Accessible UI Meets WebGL / WebGPU

At Google I/O 2026, Chrome engineer Thomas Nattestad unveiled the HTML-in-Canvas API, which is a new web platform feature that lets developers render HTML elements directly into canvas, WebGL, and WebGPU contexts while preserving accessibility and interactivity.

WebGPU Meets Zero-Knowledge: Can Browser-Based Proving Finally Work?

zkSecurity integrated WebGPU compute shaders with StarkWare's Stwo prover and hit 5x speedups on constraint polynomial evaluation.

WebGPU Hits Critical Mass: All Major Browsers Now Ship It

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all ship WebGPU by default. Eight years of spec work finally pays off. Here is what changed, where the gaps remain, and why this matters for graphics and compute on the web.
