Adding textures

Hello Reader! For this week I have prepared a bit more interesting tutorial then last week. I will try to explain how to add textures to an object (yes, it's a  plural) and give some more insight into attributes and shaders.

Anyone lost a 1d6 dice?

How to convert world to screen coordinates and vice versa

This is a thing every 3D developer should know: for a given point in 3D what is the position of that point in 2D, e.g. on the screen in pixel coordinates? This problem appears quite often (starting with mouse picking) and it' always handy to have the solution at hand :)

How to add a blog to technorati.com

3. To add your blog go "claim blog"
4. Fill out what's to fill out
5. You will get an email with a verification code like: E9CCZCBVNHQG
6. Put this one in a new post on your blog (not sure if it has to be a new one)
7. go back to your account at technorati.com and verify your blog
8. "It may take quite some time for evaluation."

That's it!

Tutorials 0 and 1 available!

You can find the first two tutorials on the tutorials page!
One of them is an introduction to WebGL, and the other one will help you create you first simple WebGL app.

Check it out here!

A simple render

It's time to finally start drawing something - and let's make it easy today. I will try to show you some basic stuff - how to initialize things, how to define shaders, how to bind uniforms and attributes (I hope you have read Tutorial 0) and how to make it move, or "animate" :). Here you can download the source for  tutorial 1. Now let's get started!

This is how it will look in the end.

WebGL pipeline

Welcome to my first tutorial about WebGL! For this one I suggest you grab a nice cup of coffee, lay back, a just scroll down a bit... I promise, it's not too hard!

WebGL planet?!

Page rank #1!

I just wanted to share a little fact I got quite proud of:

If you type into Google "webgl factory", this blog is listed as number one - after just one week of existence! It is also valued at 300$ :)

Thank's to all my visitors, WebGL samples are already on the way!
