Comment on Code-native generation of highly programmable 3D assets (2026)

Very cool.

"Asset as a service" is something I've been kicking around for a while. I did some work on something similar at Apple.

The idea was to create "Assets as a service" where the generation system can decide how much configurability remains live at run time, and how much is "compiled away" at asset generation time.

Whoa super cool, you guys got the patent too. I hope there's no cease and desist in my future lol (kidding..... not kidding).

I don't work at Apple anymore so if you do it won't be from me. :)

Happy to chat about this stuff from a conceptual level if you're interested. ping me on linked-in
