Open the WebGL DEMO

If you want your Web browser graphics to have a bit of power and oomph, you might consider using WebGL. WebGL is a JavaScript API for real-time rendering of 3D and 2D graphics within a browser. It’s based on OpenGL ES – the software API used on embedded systems such as smartphones and tablets.

Traditionally, web browsers used the CPU to render content, but in recent years browsers have adopted support for hardware acceleration, which means developers can use a device’s GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) to allow for rendering of complex graphics.

We put together a little WebGL demo with some of our characters. They are at the beach, having a great time. It takes a few seconds to load so enjoy!

At Fierce Fun, one of our core areas of expertise is in browser games and interactive Web apps. If you would like to know more about WebGL and how it could enhance your website, drop us a line!

WebGL: The Future of Interactive Web Animation

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a cross-platform, royalty-free web standard for a low-level 2D/3D graphics API based on OpenGL ES 2.0, exposed through the HTML5 Canvas element as Document Object Model interfaces.

Ok, in plain English!. WebGL is a JavaScript library for displaying interactive 3D and 2D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. As it uses a computer’s GPU (graphics chip) directly, it is very fast and allows for smooth animated 2D and 3D graphics.

It is supported by all the major browser vendors such as Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Mozilla (Firefox), Opera (Opera) and Microsoft (IE).

As animation plug-ins such as Flash, Unity and Silverlight are not supported by default in many browsers, WebGL offers a cross platform solution for online and mobile animated graphics.

Fierce Fun can produce WebGL animations optimised for all the major browsers. For more details, please contact us.
