nice good to know it works on it!

wait how? do you use the beta? (webgpu support is only coming in september on ios)

not really sure, made dents over the past few months but must have nailed sleep + nutrition today somehow

This topic has so much to explore, and I hope this article will help you get your first steps building with those new techniques

And I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll build with it 😄

I also pushed further and explored ways to have volumetric light shining in multiple directions or also multiple sources lighting up the scene independently

All of that is in this article alongside interactive demos for you to fork/play with

On top of that, you'll also see some more advanced techniques like "shadow mapping":

The key technique for the Volumetric Light to take into account object on the scene which allow from beautiful dynamic shadows when the light source is occluded

It was also a good opportunity to apply what I learned through my raymarching work in a new light (🥁)

I re-applied concepts I discovered on my work on volumetric clouds to give the light a more natural scattering and look-and-feel

Luckily, through post-processing, you can just do that

By raymarching a light in world space to draw the right set of pixels you can enhance your scene with beautiful atmospheric light

While standard lighting in Three.js/R3F is usually enough, I always felt like it missed some depth and volume

I wanted my light to truly *flood* my scenes with powerful beams or cast strong shadows

🫶 thank you sir

hope you'll enjoy it!

thank you! 🙏

yes!

I always say the hardest is done once you’ve passed the front door of your apartment
Then you just need to run

nice pace man! One day I’ll get there!
