Part 3 – Babylon.js 9.0: OpenPBR and additional engine updates

calendar_today April 2, 2026 person Steve Clarke, Editor domain microsoft-windows

Babylon.js 9.0 introduces several enhancements to help developers build beautiful, high-performance 3D experiences. OpenPBR Support - Alpha Babylon.js 9.0 begins implementation of OpenPBR, an open standard hosted by the Academy Software Foundation (ASWF), that defines an artist-friendly, interoperable material model. OpenPBR is designed so that materials authored with it look consistent across any platform that supports the standard. Babylon.js now maps many of the OpenPBR parameter groups (including Base, Specular, Coat, Thin-film and more) to the existing PBR material system.
