Stress Tests / Many Lights

Support Warning

WebGPU is currently only supported on Chrome starting with version 113, and only on desktop. If they don't work on your configuration, you can check the WebGL2 examples here.

//! Simple benchmark to test rendering many point lights.
//! Run with `WGPU_SETTINGS_PRIO=webgl2` to restrict to uniform buffers and max 256 lights.
