GPU rendering is now available in Sub Dimension Camera. This feature eliminates the need to wait for a video to “render” after recording. You can now preview and capture complex artistic filters in real-time.
By using WebGPU, the app offloads visual processing from your phone’s main processor to its dedicated graphics hardware. This results in smoother performance, less heat, and better battery efficiency during long sessions. For devices without WebGPU support, we still have a backup mode of rendering every effects(but slower).
Sub Dimension Camera enables you to switch styles without stopping your recording. You can cycle through any of our effects—including sketches, paintings, and technical wireframes—while the camera is rolling. The primary benefit of using WebGPU is to make effect switching smoother.
By moving processing to the hardware level, we’ve turned the camera into a real-time creative tool. There is no post-processing and no waiting.
