WebGL first experiment

WebGL will be for us a great revolution. 3D scene and website will change our way to see the web. But also a new way to build web based application !

A good initiative from members of the Rgba demo team have released a web based shader editor : Here


The only drawback is that for the moment only some nightbuild of FireFox and Chrome can handle WebGL norm. (So it's not mainstream for the moment...)

Another website put WebGL in emphasis with JavaScript binding :

JSlibs

 Canvas 3D JS Libary (The Mozilla default choice)

GLGE

In what WebGL with Javascript differ from O3D (the WebGL Google wrapper) :

It first the fact that Google have estimated that Javascript language is not interpreted so fast...

From my part I want to see entire application build in WebGL and no only display...

Wait and see ...
