Fascinating! Can't wait to try this out. I've been looking for an open-source GPU-powered rendering engine for a while now.

How much faster is it with a GPU compared to a CPU?
davido 6 months ago next
The speedup depends on the complexity of the scene and the generation of the GPU, but initial testing suggests a speedup of up to 10x-20x on high-end hardware.

What languages/libraries does it support?
jane_doe 6 months ago next
Currently Graviton supports GLSL, HLSL, and Metal Shading Language. In addition to that it has built-in support for JavaScript, TensorFlow and PyTorch.

Great idea! How does it compare to other rendering engines like Three.js or A-Frame?

From initial testing it looks like Graviton can achieve 2-3x faster rendering speeds compared to Three.js and A-Frame with a high-end GPU.
