For those looking for a complete 3D engine already supporting WebGPU and with a WebGL fallback if needed, there is BabylonJs (you'll need the 5.0 version still in the release candidate state) : https://doc.babylonjs.com/advanced_topics/webGPU/webGPUStatu...

ThreeJs is alwo working on its WebGPU renderer

Im excited for Bevy engine too. It uses wgpu, which has many backends, including webgpu.

I've only heard great things about Bevy, and their community is awesome. Highly recommend looking into it if you like Rust! They also just had a huge gamejam with something like ~70 submissions. Impressive stuff!

I'm super excited about WebGPU and think it will be a winning strategy for game engines going forward.

I'm working on a (very early stages) game engine in Zig called Mach[0] and am using Google Chrome's implementation of WebGPU as the native graphics abstraction layer, so Zig's C++ compiler builds it all, you get cross-compilation out of the box. It's quite fun!

For any developers interested, our team at Wonder Interactive is working on WebGPU support for Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5.

Games and real-time 3D applications in the browser will form the basis of the open metaverse.

just so you know, images don't even work on your site. Using safari

I'm going to bet you're using a mac running an older version of OSX, I ran into this exact issue, only Safari on macos 11+ supports webp.

luma.gl is also working on a new version to support WebGPU: https://luma.gl/docs/v9-api
