What are people using WebGL for

games
interactive demos

3D JavaScript Library – what would take hundreds of lines of code with raw WebGL only require a few lines using three.js

All three.js projects have the following elements:

scene
aspect
camera
renderer

Rotations use radians (using pi)

Lots of math, but lots of elements to help you figure out how to do it. Mesh, shading, colors, textures, shininess, etc., etc.

You can load in ojbects via the JSON loader with a python tool that’s included (must be Python 2.7).

Interactions

In 3D you have to use “picking” to select items. You don’t have the browser interactions available.

Great stuff on three.js from David Scott Lyons on his site!

Have you ever found yourself needing to build static front-end templates, either as part of a larger project or as a way to communicate the nuances of responsive design to a client? I think we can all agree that just doing flat HTML leaves us wanting for more templating power.

But, using a dynamic language (PHP, Ruby, etc) typically means that it’s tougher to hand off to a client, who may (not) have a local development environment. That’s where Serve helps bridge the gap. It lets you play with the “”V”” of Rails MVC, but also export flat HTML for easy distribution.

Responsive Web Design

Designers can’t just throw stuff over the wall to the developers anymore

The deck says it all. Great stuff!
