Overview
Leverage our extensive background in computer graphics for video games and visual effects to access the tools and processes that power the most advanced 3D applications. Our expertise in GPU programming and rendering pipelines enables us to build custom 3D viewers and tools tailored to your specific use case.
Case Study: Khronos glTF-Sample-Viewer
Background
The Khronos Group developed the glTF format as a standard for 3D content delivery. To showcase the capabilities of the format and provide a reference implementation, they required a viewer capable of loading and displaying glTF models with features like PBR materials, animations, and draco mesh compression.
Solution
Since 2019, Khronos has trusted us to develop and maintain the glTF-Sample-Viewer. We have integrated new glTF material extensions, improved the viewer’s architecture and performance, and updated the code to reflect the latest developments in the file format.
Check out the project on GitHub: github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Viewer
This included adding support for the latest glTF extensions:
| Extension | Description |
|---|---|
| KHR_materials_clearcoat | Adds support for clearcoat materials, which simulate a clear layer on top of the base material. |
| KHR_materials_sheen | Introduces sheen materials, which simulate the soft velvet-like reflection of fabrics. |
| KHR_materials_transmission | Enables the creation of transparent materials that refract light as it passes through them. |
| KHR_draco_mesh_compression | Provides support for Draco mesh compression, reducing the size of 3D models for faster loading. |
In addition to developing the viewer, we have actively contributed to standardizing and shaping the future of the glTF file format.
