Compute Shaders

Unity Engine

Are there plans to support Compute Shaders in WebGL?

Doing a small amount of research, this also seems to be a question of implementing OpenGL ES 3.1 (which according to their wikipedia page says it supports compute shaders).

Thanks.

I doubt we will be seeing it any time soon, as Edge and Safari have yet to even support WebGL 2.0.

Well, Unity has put a lot of work into WebGL despite that. They are currently supporting up to OpenGL ES 3.0, so we’re close. :smile:

I saw this post saying Chrome is working on it actively
