Chapter 283: WebGPURenderer

Core Idea

This renderer is the new alternative of WebGLRenderer. WebGPURenderer has the ability to target different backends. By default, the renderer tries to use a WebGPU backend if the browser supports WebGPU. If not, WebGPURenderer falls backs to a WebGL 2 backend.

Key Concepts

• isWebGPURenderer : boolean (readonly): This flag can be used for type testing.
• library : StandardNodeLibrary: The generic default value is overwritten with the standard node library for type mapping.
