THE FORGE REPORT

Every render on WaveForge since launch. Not a survey, not a guess — these are production database queries, printed as-is.

ENGINE SHARE

Share of completed renders by visualization engine. The default waveform engine does the heavy lifting; point and p2p show up when artists experiment in the Lab. Compare engines live in the Algorithm Lab.

HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

This is an early-stage report. WaveForge launched June 9, 2026. Three distinct creators have completed renders so far, and the sample reflects early adopters — including our own testing on the default engine. The percentages are share-of-renders on WaveForge, not a market claim.

The numbers are real and will grow. This page is re-queried from the production database each update — no smoothing, no rounding up. When the creator count climbs, the engine and resolution splits get more interesting, and this page gets republished.

What's not here: render times. Queue wait pollutes that metric (a job can sit overnight before its turn), so we don't print it. Every stat on this page is a count, a share, or a completion rate — things the database can't fudge.

Add your render to the data. Every completed job makes this report more real. Forge a video — two are free.

Method

All figures are single SQL queries against the waveforge.net production PostgreSQL database, run September 25, 2026. "Videos rendered" counts jobs with status completed. "Distinct creators" counts unique users with at least one completed job. Views are the public-view counters on public videos. Dataset schema.org metadata is embedded in this page for machine readers.
