HomeSlice Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 HTML 5 has a lot of new things in it. I haven't even begun to experiment with all the new features yet, but one feature I can't wait to test out is the new WebGL. WebGL allows web browsers to show hardware accelerated 3D content right in the browser window without the need for any special plugins. It looks like all the major web browsers (except IE) are going to be shipping with WebGL soon. Firefox, Chrome and Safari already have it in their next development/beta versions and Opera will surely follow suit. (The WebGL working group includes Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Opera.) And... These two pieces of free software: http://www.ambiera.com/copperlicht/ http://www.ambiera.com/irredit/index.html Allow you to import .x models and animations (which A:M exports quite well) and export them to something you can easily embed into a web page. You *do* need a webGL capable browser. Follow the instructions on this site to get development/beta versions of either Firefox, Chrome or Safari and activate the webGL capability. http://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Getting_..._Implementation If you want to get really ambitious.... You can then use this free software to leverage your existing HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP skills to deploy your new 3D content or 3D enabled application to a variety of Desktop and Mobile operating systems. OK, so I don't think it supports webGL yet .... but soon .... http://developer.appcelerator.com/tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelplucker Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Isn't java kind of slow for 3d stuff, also just slow in general? Yucky logo, the 5 looks like a lousy S. Then they added a burst behind it? Why? Wonder if they all sat in a "Think Tank" room that had dim lights and a water pipe in the middle...

JavaScript is what we are talking about here (these languages are not even connected in any way.) These talks about Java is slow etc is an advertising strategy of microsoft which likes/devolpes C++/C#. Java has one of the fastest grown userbases of all the programming languages... I am sure have already used several programs based on java which can be used on nearly any operationsystem Javascript can be slow depending on the used browser and the content and of course ur own abillity to programm with low resources usage. All in all it is getting faster and better every day. I am using html5, css and js already quite extensively... At least for personal projects. *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meowx Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I was first really impressed by HTML 5 when I saw this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
