News : Creating Smoke Effect with Blender and Verge3D ...

In this tutorial we'll be creating a realistic smoke effect using only Blender materials and texture animation, which makes it suitable for real-time applications such as games and interactive visualizations.

About Verge 3D:

Verge3D® is a powerful and intuitive toolkit that allows Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya artists to create immersive web-based experiences. Verge3D can be used to build interactive animations, product configurators, engaging presentations of any kind, online stores, explainers, e-learning content, portfolios, and browser games.

Therefore, without theory, mathematics and graphics, information cannot be processed.

Seams to be build on Google’s Blockly technology, more precisely, it uses visual elements that allow a defined development. And before there were reluctance to use a high-level language versus a low-level one. In reality, such visual programming can be more efficient, see the geometry node in Blender 3D.

News : Asm Blox: a Game Based on WebAssembly That No One Asked For ...

I will consider this post news because I have not seen that the open-source developer community that is active on the web come up with clear examples in WebAssembly even though it appeared more than 6 years ago.

The name suggests bringing assembly-like programming to the Web, where it will be executed client-side — by the website-user's computer via the user's web browser. See wikipedia for more ...

Godot 4.0 : New features for godot game engine.

I used this game engine with the property scripting code GDScript and is easy to learn.
This is an procedual programming scripting language without OOP features.
The Godot game engine can be used with C# programming language.
Now, the author of this article name Juan Linietsky comes with news:
Yes, indeed. Godot 4.0 will also have a very cool Voxel based real-time GI.

Still, that is a different technique aimed at different use cases. Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met:

• Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have)
• Quality above anything else (no light leaking, ideal for architecture)
• Lighting will not change (lights won't move)

If these requirements are met, then lightmapping is probably the best for you.

On this official youtube channel the author show us the result of these features.
You can download this engine from the official webpage.
