Unused WebGL Presentation made with WebGL

Posted by Dennis in 3D, Speaking, WebGL 6 comments

I made this one for an internal presentation about WebGL. I did the presentation but for some reason I used plain old powerpoint slides. Don’t ask. It’s made with GLGE, JSTweener and the Blender to WebGL Exporter. I guess it could use a bit of optimisation here and there. Oh, and I have tested it [...]

Using WebGL & GLSL Shaders to Create a Tunnel Effect

Posted by Dennis in 3D, WebGL 9 comments

Now here’s something that’s been done a thousand times before in a thousand different ways! Sometimes it’s good to re-invent the wheel so you can learn something new My purpose for this demo was to experiment with vertex and fragment shaders. They’re very powerful tools that allow you to create the most amazing effects. Click [...]

More WebGL Exploration: Visualising Mutual Twitter Friends with X3DOM

Posted by Dennis in 3D, WebGL 6 comments

After the WebGL BoF at Siggraph I spoke to some people from the Web3D consortium and the Fraunhofer institute. This was quite interesting. The Fraunhofer institute is working on an X3D WebGL implementation called X3DOM. Basically it means that you can set up a 3D scene as part of any HTML5 DOM tree. This should [...]

Hands-on WebGL: Basic GLGE Tutorial

Posted by Dennis in 3D, WebGL 5 comments

In a previous tutorial I explained how to draw a triangle on the screen with pure low-level WebGL. A lot had to be done before anything could be drawn to the screen: define shaders, set up matrices, create shader programs, depth testing, vertex attributes, etc. Pretty interesting stuff if you’re into the technical details of [...]
