Upcoming Three.js Extension for Ultra-Detailed Models with three.webgpu.js

I'm excited about an upcoming extension for three.js, expected next year, that will harness the power and performance of three.webgpu.js.
Good things take time, and I'm hopeful that if the core developers build on my PR, we can push the boundaries even further. The rapid progress and impressive performance of three.webgpu.js this year have been remarkable.
Below are examples showcasing the system in action:
The current buffer size limit could be increased by modifying the device setup at the lowest level of three.js. However, this change would step outside the W3C-defined standard for WebGPU, which helps ensure reliable performance across most devices.
My goal isn’t to render thousands of dragons, but to develop a system (and submit the necessary PRs) that efficiently handles highly detailed models with millions of triangles.
I'm really looking forward to next year!

While your enthusiasm for WebGPU and Three.js development is appreciated, I should note that I don't have specific information about upcoming extensions or PRs for Three.js in my training data. The information I have about Three.js is focused on the current documentation and API.
From what I can see in the documentation, Three.js currently supports various WebGL extensions through the WebGLRenderer.extensions property, which allows checking for support of extensions like:
WEBGL_depth_textureEXT_texture_filter_anisotropicWEBGL_compressed_texture_s3tc- And others
The renderer also has methods like compileAsync that leverage WebGL extensions such as KHR_parallel_shader_compile for improved performance.
If you're working on rendering highly detailed models with millions of triangles, you might find the current asynchronous methods like readRenderTargetPixelsAsync useful for maintaining performance.
For further development with Three.js, you might want to explore the additional renderers and utilities listed in the documentation, such as:
- Various renderer options (CSS2DRenderer, CSS3DRenderer, SVGRenderer)
- Utility functions (BufferGeometryUtils, CameraUtils, etc.)
- WebXR components
If you have specific technical questions about Three.js functionality or implementation details, I'd be happy to help with those.
