It’s been a long time since I blogged here but we recently stumbled upon a so interesting performance issue that it motivated me enough to share it with the entire world (well the entire world of people aware of this blog). The virtue of always testing (even the obvious) We are about to ship Babylon.js […]
Dev log #1: Morph targets
This is the first post of a series about what I’m working on for Babylon.js. Morph targets were on my todo list since ages (since Babylon.js 1.4 if I remember correctly). I decided recently to do it because I wanted to be sure we can cover all aspects of gltf 2.0 Morph targets are used […]
Babylon.js v2.5 and what’s next?
Last week we released Babylon.js v2.5. I do not want to catalog here all features we stuffed this version with but instead I would like to underline some really cool ones. I will also present here non core features that are worth a try. But before going to the specifics of this article I would […]
How to improve your XAML controls to make them ...
Since UWP Community Toolkit v1.1, we started encouraging developers to follow some simple guidances to make controls more accessible. As a developer, I did not consider accessibility like I should have. And most of the time it was more because I did not realize how simple it could be to at least provide some basic […]
What’s new in Babylon.js 2.4
Woot! What a version again! It seems to me that this is my state of mind for every version but, whaou! we put so much love again in this version. You can find the complete release notes here but I still would like to highlight a few features (Even if they all deserve some attention). […]
Adding smooth transitions when navigating in yo...
Early this week, I published a new version of UrzaGatherer which added support to navigation transitions.

Hints for successfully managing an open-source ...
Today I want to change things a bit: instead of covering a technical subject, I want to share with you what it means to run an open source project For more than two years, my friend David Rousset and I have led Babylon.js. We started the project after hearing that IE11 would support WebGL and […]
Adding support for Canvas in ChakraBridge
Last week, I announced the beginning of ChakraBridge: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/archive/2015/10/21/using-javascript-frameworks-from-your-c-uwp-application.aspx One of the problem I mentioned was that the JavaScript framework that you want to use has to be independent of the DOM. But today, thanks to the great contribution of Koen Zwikstra (Developer of XAML Spy), I’m thrilled to announce that you can also use […]
