Hi, I'm Michael Marker

I build a Windows desktop app for authoring PBR materials and product scenes, plus the slim web viewer that ships the result to customers. Both run the same engine, so a material looks identical in the editor and on the customer's page. That constraint drives most of the decisions below.

  • Real-time viewport on WebGPU (three.js WebGPURenderer) and an offline path tracer for final images: interactive preview, a render window with history and post, denoising via Intel Open Image Denoise.
  • Editor: material library, presets, undo/redo, dockable panels, a project container, model import with real-world scale (glTF/FBX, STEP via OpenCascade).
  • Desktop shell in Rust (Tauri/WebView2, where WebGPU does work), Windows installer.
  • No build step, one dependency. The web viewer is plain ES modules and self-hosted three.js. Customers host it themselves and own their data.

Most of what shows up on this profile falls out of that work: minimal repros, measurement harnesses, and bugs that turned out to be upstream's.

Heightmap Level Generator

A free terrain generator for Unreal, Unity and Godot that runs in the browser on WebGPU compute shaders. Roads, towns, cliffs, erosion, rivers and lakes in four biomes, tweaked live, exported as 16-bit heightmaps, splatmaps, masks, a layout JSON and glTF. Try it in the browser · Source

Upstream

I file bugs against three.js and three-gpu-pathtracer. Measured, not eyeballed: a headless run on a real GPU, an error count with and without the patch, a live repro. The last one went from 1771 errors to 0 and shipped in r186. Not every report lands. All of them.

Also on my desk

Away from 3D I build a browser app for private investors in Germany: Monte-Carlo portfolio projections and a German tax engine (FIFO per broker, Teilfreistellung, Vorabpauschale, loss-offset pots). Different audience, so it lives elsewhere and is not linked here. Two pieces of it may show up as their own repos: the broker import profiles and the tax engine.

Writing up

Notes from the same work that aren't published yet. Ping me if one of these is what you were searching for, that moves it up the list:

  • WebGPU runs in Tauri / WebView2 with no flags, and gets 2 GiB buffers where ANGLE caps at 1.
  • A headless WebGPU test harness: Edge headless + CDP, real GPU, screenshots, error counts. I couldn't find an existing one.
  • OIDN in a Tauri app: the Rust side (crate pinned to a git rev, bundled) and the JS side.
