Developing Web Graphics with WebGL
What is WebGL?
WebGL: real-time 3D rendering
• OpenGL ES in a browser • JavaScript API bindings • Supported in nearly all modern browsers • Supported on many devices• Shipped since early 2011• Standard is maintained by Khronos Group
What ≠ WebGL?
Ehh no, it’s not Stereoscopic 3D...

eCommerce, Websites...
How WebGL works
WebGL is a JavaScript drawing API
• Draw to HTML5 canvas element using a (“webgl”) context
• Low-level drawing – buffers, primitives, textures and shaders• Accelerated by graphics hardware (GPU)• Can draw 2D as well as 3D graphics • Integrates seamlessly with other page content • There is no file format; no markup language; no DOM
Why use WebGL?
• Rich internet experiences with hardware-accelerated 3D• No downloads, no plugins• Complete integration with HTML5 page elements • Cross-platform• Rapid development with the right tools• Performance – it’s faster than 2D canvas• Royalty-free - no licensing issues
Web 3D is finally here!

Web 3D is finally here!
• WebGL is solid for developing games and other rich content• OpenGL ES under the hood (it’s what’s running on your phone
and tablet) • Huge development, testing and conformance effort by
browser vendors• Strong standards group maintaining it (www.khronos.org) • In most browsers and growing number of devices• Apple’s announced support for WebGL in iOS 8 marks the
tipping point! • A few enhancements will help…
What do you need to get started?1. Rendering engine2. Application functionality3. Content creation pipeline - 3D tools e.g. Autodesk Maya, Blender
WebGL Game Engines & Tools
