Building a WebGL Logo (code.formconstantdance.org)

Why exclude mobile browsers? Both Chrome and Firefox on Android support webGL.

While the technique is interesting, that's just about the ugliest logo I've ever seen.

So much work for such a crappy effect? Am I missing something here? Is this art?

Ow, my eyes.

Thank you for teaching how to use WebGL. The internet could use more tutorials like these.

I think people are missing the point: it's not meant to look good, it's meant to teach people. So let's stop discouraging.

A lot of discouragement in this thread. Nice one HN!

Thanks for this post, interesting read!

what's the advantage of doing client side rendering in webgl vs a video logo or a JS sprite animation of some sort even.

have you heard about PathGL?

Doubt this logo transitions well to print.

I know its not the point of the post but there is a small error: Neither of Blender's render engines is physically-accurate. (And only 1 is physically based.) You need to use something like Luxrender (it can be used with Blender) if you want a physically unbiased render.

You don't need WebGL to get a cool 3D effect with your logo. Shameless plug, http://www.moviesaints.com/

This was a much deeper look than the simple tutorial I was expecting. Very nice!

Please don't let webgl become the next animated gif
