WebGL 初探

官方网站:http://webglfundamentals.org/

WebGL是一种3D绘图标准，这种绘图技术标准允许把JavaScript和OpenGL ES 2.0结合在一起，通过增加OpenGL ES 2.0的一个JavaScript绑定，WebGL可以为HTML5 Canvas提供硬件3D加速渲染，这样Web开发人员就可以借助系统显卡来在浏览器里更流畅地展示3D场景和模型了，还能创建复杂的导航和数据视觉化。显然，WebGL技术标准免去了开发网页专用渲染插件的麻烦，可被用于创建具有复杂3D结构的网站页面，甚至可以用来设计3D网页游戏等等。

 

9个令人震惊的WebGL示例

1.  WebGL Water

This incredible demo is as fluid as you could believe.  Raise and drop the ball into the water to see realistic, beautiful splashing of the water.  You can also just click the water to see it ripple away.  I'm completely awestruck at how realistic and smooth the animation is in this excellent WebGL demo.  Unreal.

2.  Fizzy Cam

Fizzy Cam uses your machine's webcam to display your likeness but with thousands of moving blocks overlaid, giving a fun and artsy feel to the display.  The boxes move with motion so move about as you use the demo and marvel at how creative this WebGL demo is.

3.  Blossom

The Blossom demo animates leaves from a tree.  That sounds simple but there's something very realistic about this WebGL treat; the leaves look so real and flow so naturally that you can't help but keep watching.  Call me soft but I think this animation is incredibly beautiful.

4.  Teach Me to Fly

Teach Me to Fly is a fun game where your character flies through the air and it's your job to guide him around buildings.  The controls are simple, the game is simple, and yet it's very fun and challenging to play.  The 3D buildings look outstanding and control is spot on.

5.  Visualeyezer

This demo features an enormous eye that follows your cursor around the screen, all the while pulsating and changing colors as music plays.  Unsettling?  A bit.  Impressive?  Absolutely.  The detail within the the lessor obvious parts of the eye is what really caught my attention -- fluid, smooth, and consistent.

6.  Nucleal

Nucleal is another particle-based animation but this one transcends others.  Choose the amount of particles to use (i.e. how toasted you want your CPU to get) and drag/hold around the animation to view different perspectives.  The particles also animate at and curves to an amazing smoothness.

7.  Interactive Globe

This interactive globe is amazingly reactive and practical.  As you drag/pull around the globe, the information labels fluidly display.  The revolving, animating spheres round the globe also add great visual appeal.

8.  Google Maps Cube

Google Maps Cube is a game whereby you rotate your cursor around a cube, tipping the cube in a given direction, so as to get a ball to a destination on the map.  This is an interesting, creative use of Google Maps and very well executed.

9.  Ellie Goulding Light's

This demo may be the most impressive of the lot but I have to feature it last to hide my shame in that I really enjoy this...song.  Oh, but the demo.  This demo is outstanding, with lights...lots of lights.  As the music plays in the background, you navigate a beam of light through hills of lights.  Press down on your mouse and the beam of light accelerates.  As the demo continues, more and more lights and colors come into the animation.  I can't recommend this demo enough.

I have to say that I believe these nine demos are shocking and possibly better than the original nine.  The great work being done by animators is awe-inspiring and hugely ambitious.  I hope you strive to greatness after seeing these massive demos!
