VisIt, the open-source scientific visualization tool developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), is entering a new era of advanced rendering. In a collaborative effort between LLNL’s VisIt team and NVIDIA, VisIt has been enhanced with state-of-the-art rendering capabilities by integrating a Khronos Group standard called ANARI™ (Analytic Rendering Interface). This integration, led by Kevin Griffin (a senior developer technology| The Khronos Group
In this blog post, Eric Chadwick introduces the four newest showcase assets and talk about the unique challenges they present. These models were designed not just to look great in the updated glTF Sample Viewer, but to demonstrate what’s possible with glTF today. You can explore the models directly in the Sample Viewer, dig into their source files on GitHub, and follow detailed creation notes for each one.| News
Recognizing the transformative potential of 3D Gaussian Splats, leading organizations across the geospatial, graphics, and standards domains — including Khronos Group®, Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Niantic Spatial, Cesium(Bentley), and Esri— have come together to integrate 3D Geospatial Gaussian Splats into Khronos’ widely adopted glTF™ 3D asset format standard. This collaborative initiative aims to create a standardized, interopera| The Khronos Group
As the 3D commerce industry evolves, artists and brands alike need clear, up-to-date guidance to efficiently produce optimized assets. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of version 2.0 of the Asset Creation Guidelines—a comprehensive and continuously updated resource designed to help 3D artists create photorealistic, commerce-ready assets for web, XR, games, and other real-time 3D applications. Like the original Real-Time Asset Creatio| The Khronos Group
The Khronos ANARI (Analytic Rendering Interface) Working Group is excited to share developments as we approach SIGGRAPH 2025, including a first look at ANARI 1.1 updates. With ANARI 1.1 features planned and a growing ecosystem of tools and implementations, the industry's first cross-platform 3D rendering engine API continues to evolve to meet the demands of modern scientific visualization and rendering applications.| The Khronos Group
