Call for participation: WebGL+WebGPU BOF at SIGGRAPH 2025

[Ken Russell]

Hello WebGL enthusiasts,

Khronos will host a WebGL+WebGPU BOF at SIGGRAPH 2025 in Vancouver on Wednesday, August 13 at 9:00 AM. Do you have a product or demo based on these APIs that you would like to share with the attendees? If so, please email both me and eve...@khronosgroup.org and we'll get you on the agenda.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for posting here or I'd not know that there will be WebGL/WebGPU demos on SIGGRAPH this year. I'm building a game engine which allows combining OpenStreetMap roads with ESRI terrain data to convert any location on Earth into a multiplayer game. I also sent this email to Khronos where you pointed.

This is a very good timing as I'm getting closer to finishing an MVP of a game engine which takes any location in the world and creates drivable roads. Complex intersections are still buggy when imported but they can be manually adjusted in the editor after importing.

The game engine is built on top of Three.js with multiple parts of the renderer rewritten and features added to the core as vanilla Three.js is not that great for really big scenes. This engine has auto instancing, auto impostors, static shadow caching, using sampler2DShadow for shadows instead of Three's custom materials, workerised collision detection and many other performance upgrades which allow showing large scale scenes.

Here's a quick 2min demo of the entire process. From importing the terrain and the roads, launching the game server to some gameplay.

I'm looking forward to preparing something better if you want to include my demo!

Cheers,

Pawel

Hi Pawel,

Sorry for the delay replying - this is very cool! Yes, would you please prepare a ~10 minute talk and demo? I'll contact you directly about the logistics.

Thanks, and looking forward to meeting / seeing you at the conference!
