Mission

We are dedicated to bring powerful and reliable visualization to the Python world. We believe that WebGPU is the future for graphics and bring it to Python with the wgpu-py library. On top of that, we build Pygfx: a modern, versatile, and Pythonic rendering engine.

Pygfx provides a basis on top of which a multitude of visualizations become possible. From applications to libraries, from games to plotting. Pygfx is expressive in what you can do with it, but does not try hard to reduce the number of code-lines. We deliberately leave higher-level (domain specific) API's to downstream libraries.

Keep this project independent

Maintaining and growing wgpu and Pygfx costs time and dedication. We rely on sponsors to maintain (and grow) the project further. If you represent a company / group that relies on Pygfx or wgpu-pu, please consider a sponsorship to help move Pygfx further, and get the support that you need.

If you represent a company / group that relies on pygfx or wgpu-pu, we kindly ask for a sponsorship. That way we can keep replying to issues, review pull request, and move pygfx further.

How funds are used

Funds for Pygfx are primarily used to fund our developer time. This includes the work on Pygfx itself, keeping wgpu-py up-to-date with the development of WebGPU, and maintaining other dependencies like the render canvas. Surplus funds are used as a buffer (to create some runway), onboarding additional developers, and maybe organize an event.
