Gaussian splats aren’t only for photo scans.
🕳️ A black hole where the lensing itself is done by splatting: each splat is drawn where its bent light lands
✨ 373,000 Gaia stars, one splat each, moving along their measured velocities
Real time in the browser with @playcanvas

What happens when a gaussian splat becomes 2M particles? 🔥
@playcanvas spawns them from the scene’s color + depth, runs them in WebGPU compute and collides them with voxels from splat-transform.
Pick a preset and wreck the room 👇

New in PlayCanvas: a dynamic sky ☀️☁️🌙
Day & night cycle, volumetric clouds drifting with the wind, stars, moon, and scene lighting that follows the sky, all in one CameraFrame effect.
Runs on WebGPU and WebGL2.

New @playcanvas version 2.23 is almost here, and rendering just got a lot cheaper on the CPU 🚀
20K boxes with shadows (40K draw calls), CPU time per frame vs 2.22:
WebGPU: 75.9 → 35.3 ms, 2.1× faster
WebGL2: 47.1 → 30.5 ms, 1.5× faster

A pivotal moment for real estate! 🏡
Capturing a property in 3D used to mean a $5,000 LiDAR scanner. This house was scanned with a $500 @insta360 X5 - a consumer 360 camera.
And best of all? All of the software is free and open source! It's based on a technique called 3D Gaussian splatting:
🪄 Splat creation: Spirula Studio
🖼️ Splat rendering: @PlayCanvas
So for $500, you can present any property online and let prospective purchasers freely explore as if it was a videogame. 🎮

SuperSplat Editor 3.0 is here 🚀
The free and open source Gaussian splat editor has been rebuilt from the ground up on WebGPU. Far larger scenes, a fraction of the memory, smooth on tens of millions of Gaussians.
Try it now → superspl.at/editor
🧵 What's new...

Depth of field and volumetric light on a Gaussian splat scene in @playcanvas. Depth comes from the splats themselves, in the forward pass — no proxy geometry, no extra pass.

Did someone just use a video of my model to advertise AI?
And where is my $15000? 🥲

What happens if you give Codex one /goal - "faithfully port Quake" - and let it work for 3 whole days?
This happened: the original game running in a browser, with a TypeScript runtime and @PlayCanvas renderer.

75 RED cameras shooting at 8K/120fps, capturing an entire live performance in a single take. What happens when you push 4D Gaussian Splatting to its limit?
Max M retweeted
🔮 A Gaussian splat sealed inside solid glass — with real screen-space refraction and chromatic dispersion bending the splat and the background through the shape's surface.
Cube, sphere, gem or prism — pick the shape and tune the glass. Built in the @playcanvas engine.

Anime.js is 10 years old! 🎂🎉
A short thread about the current state of the lib, an update on the course, a few personal things, and a glimpse of what's next (hint in the video).

Got 3D Gaussian Splats in @NianticSpatial's SPZ format? The @playcanvas Engine now renders them directly 🐝
Scans from Scaniverse and the wider SPZ ecosystem load straight into your web app - splat data stays compressed on the GPU. WebGL2 + WebGPU.

I’m happy to announce the release of a new open source 3D physics engine called Box3D. I’ve been working on this project for a few years now, but it represents over 20 years of experience writing physics engines for games. Read more here: box2d.org/posts/2026/06/anno…

🌍 What if the entire Earth could be streamed as a photorealistic 3D world?
This prototype renders billions of 3D Gaussian splats directly in the browser.
Powered by @playcanvas . WebGPU + WebGL.
The technology is ready. The remaining challenge is capturing the planet.
