The Khronos Group announces a release candidate for the KHR_gaussian_splatting baseline extension. This extension enables storing 3D Gaussian splats in glTF 2.0, the most widely adopted 3D asset delivery format.

The new extension establishes an open foundation for representing Gaussian splats, an increasingly important geometry and radiance field representation, across real-time graphics, digital twins, and large-scale geospatial visualization pipelines.

Project Dogwalk is a Blender Studio R&D project with its goal to build a small, polished game in just four months using an open source pipeline, with Blender as the Digital Content Creation hub, Godot as the game engine, and glTF as the exchange format at the center. The end result was a deep validation of how far glTF has come as a reliable bridge between authoring and runtime environments.

Starting with Mesa 25.1, Nouveau users will no longer get the old Nouveau OpenGL driver by default and will instead get Zink+NVK. Unlike most OpenGL drivers which are written to target the underlying hardware directly, Zink is an OpenGL implementation written on top of Vulkan. Collabora has been talking about this for a while, but the MR has landed today.
