• google/filament:
  • https://github.com/google/filament
  • Android/iOS/Lin/Mac/Win, WebGL
• LuisaGroup/LuisaRender:
  https://github.com/LuisaGroup/LuisaRender
  • Genesis-AI renders w/ LuisaRender
• https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/stable/programming/visualization.html
• https://mujoco.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unity.html
  • Also, Which other 3d platforms could Mujoco support?
    • https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d
    • https://github.com/godotengine/godot
    • https://github.com/the-mirror-gdp/the-mirror
    • https://github.com/jsdotlua/jest-lua , roact-navigation

Alternatives

• This is not a pressing need.
• I noticed your renderer, just learned about Filament (2018), and thought I'd share these opportunities.
• There could be mujoco_menagerie robots in MMORPG platforms and/or there could be high quality renders.

We are looking closely at Filament 🙂

I will send a rough draft first on how to approach this. if it looks alright let me know

To help define the problem:
And then overlay or composite 2D and 3D data visualizations with tests and/or Augmented Reality:

• TIL about https://datoviz.org/ which says it wraps glfw
  • Datoviz has Matplotlib and MATLAB colormaps
• wgpu is written in Rust and there are many bindings;
  • https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu
  • https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native#bindings
  • https://github.com/pygfx/pygfx wraps wgpu
    • glfw, "jupyter_rfb (rendering in Jupyter), PyQt, PySide, or wx."

wgpu looks quite interesting! thanks for sharing.
