.Khronos Group has finished Vulkan video extensions for accelerated H.264 and H.265.

An FFmpeg implementation is under way!

Today's release of Vulkan 1.3.274 provides new extensions to enable encoding of H.264 and H.265 video streams providing a standardized, seamless, low-overhead, and highly controllable way to produce H.264 and H.265 video via hardware accelerators.

Apple has been a big proponent of USD(Z) for realtime models, including on the web via the <model> tag proposal.

But it's worth mentioning that when they needed a high-quality, material-accurate, realtime model of the iPhone 15 for their site, they used glTF to deliver it. 😉

We've got some exciting news to share for Android developers! We are partnering with Google and The Forge to work on optimizing our Vulkan Mobile rendering backend. This work will also benefit non-mobile devices godotengine.org/article/collab…

Wrote a quick story on how Microsoft joined the glTF effort. Find out how it happened here: babylonjs.medium.com/c78fda212b7e
