Dev ships agent-native 3D engine Vork: 24x faster rendering, $1.55 fireflies demo
ravisparikh · x · 2026-11-08
ravisparikh unveiled Vork, a Rust/Slang 3D & VFX engine built for AI agents, letting them write their own shaders, materials, cameras and physics with a core API of only 2,500 tokens.
Key claims and numbers:
- 2x more token-efficient than Blender, Unreal Engine, or Houdini
- Up to 24x faster rendering: a simulation of 1 million birds with unique trajectories ran in 97 seconds on a single NVIDIA L4 GPU vs. 31 minutes in Blender EEVEE
- Demo: 400,000 fireflies with a girl made of 30,000 fireflies walking through a bamboo grove, coded by Claude Opus inside Voyager in just 5 takes for a total of $1.55 (3 min per render), with the music also generated for free
His thesis: human-centric graphics APIs are holding agents back; minimal agent-native engines are the way forward.
