Is Unity WebGL deprecated? ›

In Unity 2022.1, the WebGL 1 graphics API is no longer included in the Auto Graphics API setting. If you need to add support for WebGL 1 to your project, open the Player Settings and under Player → Other Settings, uncheck the Auto Graphics API option and explicitly add “WebGL 1 (Deprecated)” to the Graphics API list.

It supports browsers providing the following conditions are true: The browser is WebGL 2 capable. Note: Unity no longer provides support for WebGL 1 in builds created with the Auto Graphics API option. For more details, see WebGL 1 deprecation.

Unity 6 is the first version that officially supports WebGL for mobile. It already works well in 2022.3 though. In any case you will have to come to expect WebGL significantly underperforming compared to a native app.

Unity includes support for the WebGL 2.0 API, which brings OpenGL ES 3.0-level rendering capabilities to the web. By default, Unity WebGL builds support both WebGL 1.0 and WebGL 2.0 APIs, This can be configured in the WebGL Player Settings > Other Settings; to do this, uncheck Automatic Graphics API.

WebGPU is a JavaScript API provided by a web browser that enables webpage scripts to efficiently utilize a device's graphics processing unit (GPU). This is achieved with the underlying Vulkan, Metal, or Direct3D 12 system APIs. On relevant devices, WebGPU is intended to supersede the older WebGL standard.

There used to be canvasrenderer but it was deprecated since webGL is basically available everywhere now. There are no GLSL ES commands or drawing commands in WebGL that can be used to access memory outside the bounds defined by the specification.

WebGL supports vertex and fragment shaders, while WebGPU also supports compute shaders. WebGL uses the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) while WebGPU uses the WebGPU Shading Language (WGSL). Although the two languages are different, the underlying concepts are mostly the same.

Unity formerly supported other platforms including its own Unity Web Player, a Web browser plugin. However, it was deprecated in favor of WebGL.

Is WebGL stable for production project ? Yes. But you need to be aware that WebGL is unlike any other supported platform. Due to the browser sandbox is is severely restricted and slowed down, with additional issues imposed by individual platforms and browsers.

Ease of Use: Unity provides a visual editor, drag-and-drop functionality, and a wide range of built-in tools, making it easier for non-programmers to create games. On the other hand, three. js requires a deeper understanding of JavaScript, WebGL, and 3D concepts, making it more suitable for experienced developers.

Is ThreeJS still relevant? ›

Three. js is the most popular WebGL library for good reasons that we already covered. It's very stable, it provides many features, the documentation is remarkable, the community is working hard on updates, and it's still close enough to native WebGL. That's why it's probably better to learn Three.

It may still work, especially on high-end devices, but many current devices are not powerful enough and don't have enough memory to support Unity WebGL content well. For this reason, Unity WebGL shows a warning message when trying to load content on mobile browsers (which can be disabled if needed).

WebGL is supported on Chrome. Opening local files is not supported in the webplayer due to security reasons; I expect the same for WebGL. Chrome does not support WebGL content from file:// urls - Use Build & Run, or upload it to a server - or use Firefox.

UNet is a deprecated solution that is no longer supported after Unity 2022.2. Unity Transport Package is the default transport for Netcode for GameObjects.

Unity 2020.3 reached end of life in mid 2023. It is now approaching mid 2024. since 2020. x has been out of LTS for so long now we have removed those versions according to the published deprecation schedule, and since nobody asked for an exception to be made we continued with the plan as published.

If you aren't able to run WebGL in Chrome, make sure that you update to the most recent version of Chrome. If you are using the most recent version of Chrome and can't access WebGL content, make sure that hardware acceleration is enabled in your Chrome settings.
