Cool WebGL Stuff, 2021-02-25

 Cool stuff from around the web, discovered by Khronos' WebGL working group.

  • Wonderland engine https://wonderlandengine.com/:
    • WEBGL_multi_draw: ~10-20% CPU perf improvements, but more importantly save 50-80% of mesh data on the GPU and finally am able to implement culling or LODs efficiently. (Only on non-threaded environments, though, as the extension expects non-shared memory as mentioned on the emscripten PR also).
