We’ve just released **PlayCanvas Engine v2.12.0** 🎉

The highlight of this release is the **beta launch of the streamed LOD system for 3D Gaussian Splats**, which enables the **streaming of hundreds of millions of Gaussians** \- making large-scale splat scenes practical for the web! 🌍✨

This lays the groundwork for handling truly massive 3DGS datasets efficiently, with automatic level-of-detail management and incremental loading as you move through the scene.

As always, we’d love feedback from anyone experimenting with the new system - especially around performance, memory usage, and integration into production workflows.

Next steps for us are to roll this out to SplatTransform and SuperSplat. Stay tuned for further updates.

Thanks to the awesome Christoph Schindelar for the great skate park scene used in the video.

Happy splatting! 💥
