Pre3d Web Experiments
December 2010
Chrome Experiments is a showcase of the increasing potential of the web platform, and what can be accomplished without requiring plugins like Flash. The experiments were developed by renowned visual programmers and designers around the world.
Monster is a realtime procedural graphics demo. A square evolves into a cube, sphere, and finally a monster. Presents several rendering modes and styles. Colorscube is a more interactive example, a simple but hopefully appealing mapping of the RGB color space into 3D.
These experiments are built upon a custom software 3D rendering engine, implemented in JavaScript. The scenes are projected into 2D and drawn using the HTML5 canvas element. Supported in all standards compliant browsers, including Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Google Chrome. The intensive computation required currently performs best in Chrome, although it may also be usable in Safari 4.
Pre3d is open source.
