Great demos,
I like the Jellyfish most, but the Aquarium is nice as well.
The speed is perfect as well.

Some Khronos Links on WebGL
Try the Demo Repository :)
It's great to see solid standards emerging.

I have been in this world lately. That is web based and desktop based on web based languages. Mainly Javascript, spidermonkey and v8. Spidermonkey is mozillas version of google's v8, not that they are copying on another but that they are looking for just in time compiled javascripts.
The problem is there are so many different things right now. There is opengl straight.
WebGL, O3d, V8-GL, fluff.js, jslibs
It does look like javascript is emerging as the new cross platform language, which is a good thing. I think javascript is neat and it seems that the things are outdated are being worked on to be replaced and updated with each new release.

I'm studying the Collada DAE (Digital Asset Exchange) specification. This is championed by Sony and Khronos. It provides a format in XML for specifying all the 3D aspects of a model or scene, including the geometry, texturing, animation, articulation and morphing and physics. As such, it forms the next layer above Opengl/webGL.
This is a very well written though highly technical document:

I've captured the components of one of the Khronos repository demos.
It should run with the latest Chrome, FireFox or, Opera, Safari but not Explorer.
(They're all ganging up on Microsoft). See if it works on your browsers :)

Hi Charles,
It works fine here on Chrome version 9.0.597.94.
Very smooth rotation of the cube with the temple picture wrapped around it.

Worked fine, loaded up quickly and running at steady 60 fps.
I forgot to mention about the webgl examples that Eros linked to, if you are running in chrome.... press F11 while in a demo, it will go fullscreen and look like a normal opengl fullscreen demo then, I really like that.

Thanks for the demo Charles,
here it ran at 50FPS, I guess because my display is 50Hz :)

Here is another impressive demo:

A few days ago a local store was selling netbook computers at a £50 discount, so I brought one.
The graphics card has got about 256MB of Ram & I believe it's got a Pixel Shader. :D
So I'm able to finally see all these wonderful demos & the one that you wrote Charles was running at just over 50 FPS here.

Yes, impressing but too much ... round and round and round :D

When these webGL pages are saved to PC, I find they no longer work. Some of the time it is missing files but that does not appear to be the only cause. (I'm using Chrome). This is a significant obstacle for developing WebGL pages - local working examples are needed for learning how to use code of this complexity.

I found very impressive WebGL demos showing fractals, both 3D and 2D. On my PC it runs smooth, flying through 3D structures is quite hypnotic:

Lol Petr I was going to post about that site today. :p
You must have seen the same video I saw yesterday here (http://vimeo.com/20687741).
Sadly I Can't get any of the examples to appear on my new computer so I have to watch the videos instead.

When the Human population reaches several trillion, we will be inhabiting structures like this, and planet Earth will become a concrete sponge. :)

Hi Matthew,
yes exactly, I saw the video on Vimeo :)
Charles, did you started to do some preparations to build house like that :)?

Only in a dream after an overdose of Swiss cheese :neutral:
In a fractal building, every living creature has their own flat - including the cats, the mice, the ants, the bacteria ..
