Nothing2install’s patented 3DPipe technology achieves unmatched cloud gaming delivery through pioneering graphics command streaming. This in-depth technical article explores how our trailblazing innovations unlock frictionless interactive entertainment.
Graphics Command Streaming Overview
Rather than intensive video assets, 3DPipe streams ultra-compact graphics commands required to reconstruct responsive gameplay scenes in real-time on any device.
This enables instant playability across platforms like mobile, smart TVs and desktop from our cloud – no local game install needed.
So how does graphics command streaming deliver such impossibly smooth cloud gaming? Let’s dive under the hood:
The 3DPipe Cloud Runtime
On our servers, each game runs natively as an Android APK without needing GPUs. Our proprietary runtime intercepts and captures every graphics command invoked by the game engine.
This includes essential scene data like:
- 3D meshes and geometry data to construct in-game objects and world terrain
- Texture maps, materials, shaders to define object surface properties
- Sprite images, animations to create characters and effects
- Lighting and shadow information across the scene
- Camera positions, orientations and movements
- Triggered sound clips and associated audio sources
- UI layouts, text and control input state
- Rigid body physics settings and emulated collisions
- Logic commands orchestrating game events and sequence flow
Our hyper-optimized vector encoder condenses these inter-dependent scene commands into incredibly compact 1-2kb data packets streamed 30+ times per second using our own High Efficiency Transport Protocol (HETP).
Decoupling encoding from streaming unlocks major flexibility. We can optimize game state data independently then dynamically adapt streams to network conditions – crucial for scale and responsiveness.

The 3DPipe Client Runtime
On each client device, our ultra-efficient runtime receives the real-time graphics command stream, extracting and executing render commands using the local GPU and sound processor.
Our decoder intelligently interprets dependencies between commands to reconstruct gameplay frames. Each scene is rebuilt by:
- Issuing draw calls for streamed 3D assets and geometry
- Binding textures, materials and shaders to objects
- Positioning lighting rigs and camera angles
- Triggering audio playback at designated points
- Applying UI overlays with supplied layouts
- Handling physics collisions and particle events
- Orchestrating overall scene choreography and game progression
All without intensive video decoding. This achieved stunningly fluid visuals with imperceptible lag.
