April 2025 delivered a substantial upgrade to three.js' WebGPU pipeline and shader tooling, driving reliability, performance, and feature coverage across rendering paths. Key features delivered include compatibilityMode with stability fixes for DepthTexture, integer attributes, and early-z rejection in WebGPURenderer, plus a high-precision rendering flag. We expanded rendering capabilities with texture metadata (width/height/depth), ProjectorLight support, SpotLightShadow aspect, and new webgpu examples to illustrate higher fidelity workflows. Shader tooling and TSL saw improvements for debugging and API ergonomics, including showing shader stage in debug() and stabilizing code during debugging and parameter handling. Performance gains were achieved via caching the shadow render object function and auto-caching atomic* nodes. Quality improvements touched Water2Mesh, NodeMaterial, denoise(), and lightShadowMatrix when shadowMap is disabled, contributing to more stable visuals. Overall, these efforts expand platform coverage, reduce maintenance pain for developers, and enable richer visuals with more predictable behavior.
