## Description

Comprehensive guide for developing WebGPU-enabled Three.js applications using TSL (Three.js Shading Language). Covers WebGPU renderer setup, TSL syntax and node materials, compute shaders, post-processing effects, and WGSL integration. Use this skill when working with Three.js WebGPU, TSL shaders, node materials, or GPU compute in Three.js.

# WebGPU Three.js with TSL

TSL (Three.js Shading Language) is a node-based shader abstraction that lets you write GPU shaders in JavaScript instead of GLSL/WGSL strings.

## Quick Start

```javascript
import * as THREE from 'three/webgpu';
import { color, time, oscSine } from 'three/tsl';

const renderer = new THREE.WebGPURenderer();
await renderer.init();

const material = new THREE.MeshStandardNodeMaterial();
material.colorNode = color(0xff0000).mul(oscSine(time));
```

## Key Concepts

### Import Pattern
```javascript
// Always use the WebGPU entry point
import * as THREE from 'three/webgpu';
import { /* TSL functions */ } from 'three/tsl';
```

### Node Materials
Replace standard material properties with TSL nodes:
```javascript
material.colorNode = texture(map);        // instead of material.map
material.roughnessNode = float(0.5);      // instead of material.roughness
material.positionNode = displaced;         // vertex displacement
```
