🚀 Major upgrades just landed in SuperSplat, the free and open source platform for 3D Gaussian splatting. Here is a 24-MILLION-Gaussian scan streaming live to a web browser. Near instant load time. Solid 60 fps. How? A new compute-based WebGPU renderer + automatic LOD streaming. 🧵

Today we are releasing JST-2, the world's first full-stack physics-native world foundation model. Many world models learn in pixel/video space. We went back to first principles and built the entire model stack in 3D. Generate a 3D scene in seconds and expand it in real time. Create characters with motion built in, all through one general architecture.

This worked better than I expected! Replaced rasterised light probes with ray tracing, and it was fast enough to run realtime. Running in WebGPU + @playcanvas

I scanned several graffiti-covered buildings, then generated characters using Gaussian Splatting and assembled everything in @playcanvas. The result : a photorealistic immersive experience where real-world environments and virtual characters come together.

Docs, Slides, Design, Dashboards, Motion… so I built the 3D one. Spatial Artifacts: ask Claude Code for a room, comment on the chair, and Claude rebuilds it in your open tab. An open-source community plugin, built on @playcanvas. Runs on your machine.

Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion are in beta today. Ask Claude to turn your data into live dashboards and your ideas into animated explainers.

Spine 4.3 skeletal animation in @playcanvas. Physics now reacts to the entity's movement, so hair, cloth and snow swing as characters move. Tutorial: developer.playcanvas.com/tut… Docs: developer.playcanvas.com/use… Plugin: github.com/playcanvas/playca… #gamedev @EsotericSoft

GPT-6.1 Astra is extremely good at creating simple Gaussian Splats. I asked it to use Blender MCP + Lichtfeld Studio to recreate one of the new @ChatGPT agent dots, and this is what it made. Looks super crisp on the web in the SuperSplat editor powered by @playcanvas!

"Can I use the PlayCanvas Editor offline?" You've been asking for years, so we pulled the plug 🔌 Scenes, assets, scripts and the launch page, all running in your browser. No internet. No backend. Coming soon to the @playcanvas Editor.
