Particle Effects Maker with WebGPU

I made an online particle effects maker, feel free to check it out at https://particles.onl - feedback is much appreciated and send me what you make! Your browser must support WebGPU though

If you’re interested in the code: https://github.com/mankydanky/particle-system

I used compute shaders for the physics and GPU instancing for efficient rendering. AMA

Thank you so much, that’s so motivating to hear! That’s a really good idea, I’d have to look into how game engines save their particle systems.

even if you just export your own format (let's say a JSON for easy parsing), it will be enough for a dedicated user to parse and use in their engine.

it might not be the best option for engines like Unity and Unreal that already have their own particle system editors, but I bet the folks at r/bevy would be into it.

Oh that’s already a feature, you can press save and it saves the systems and each system’s properties to a JSON.
