WebGPU tech demo showcasing various rendering techniques.
A WebGPU deferred rendering playground written as a personal project to familiarize myself better with the API and explore various rendering techniques. As WebGPU is still considered experimental browser technology certain things might break for you.
Check out the accompanying frame analysis article here.
- glTF loading and parsing
- Physically based shading
- Cascaded shadow mapping (2 cascades)
- Deferred Renderer (3 MRT) with culled light volumes using a stencil buffer
- 400+ dynamic light sources moved in a compute shader
- Separate forward pass for alpha masked objects (foliage)
- SSAO
- Screen Space Reflections with the ability to switch between Hi-Z and Linear raymarching
- Physically based bloom
- Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA)
- UI controls to tweak various different rendering parameters
- Dynamic performance degradation if the framerate dips below 60fps for longer than 2 seconds
- Mobile support
WebGPU is still considered experimental technology and might not be implemented in the version of your browser of choice. Please refer to the WebGPU Implementation Status for more info.
