This example shows a simple water simulation rendered as a full-screen, animated canvas. A static, blue gradient fill is applied based on the texture coordinate’s y-position, creating a uniform water-like surface. The piece uses the WebGL API directly via JavaScript, compiling custom vertex and fragment shaders to control geometry and color. It draws a single quad as a triangle strip and continuously re-renders it via `requestAnimationFrame`, though the color does not change over time.

Water Simulation

This example shows an interactive water surface simulation rendered with WebGL on an HTML canvas. The visualization uses D3’s `select` to manage the container and a custom `viz` module that updates the scene on each render. The code initializes the WebGL context and draws a dynamic, undulating water effect, with state managed through a `setState` function to trigger re-renders. It relies on canvas-based WebGL rendering for fluid-like motion, with no external data source beyond the visual simulation itself.

Water Simulation

This WebGL visualization demonstrates a simulated water surface using Three.js. The code constructs a 10x10 plane geometry, applies a blue wireframe material, and animates its vertices by altering their z-coordinates with a sine function based on time. Each vertex moves independently to create rippling wave-like motion, with the mesh redrawn every frame. The interactive camera, positioned at z=50, provides a perspective view of the undulating terrain, showcasing real-time procedural animation driven by a simple mathematical model.

Simple Water Simulation

A simple WebGL pendulum swings in blue against a white canvas, anchored at a fixed point and connected by a line to a circular bob. The simulation runs continuously, rotating the bob and wire around the anchor using a shader-based rotation matrix. Users can click buttons to increase or decrease the angular velocity, speeding up or slowing down the swing. Rendered with the WebGL API, the example draws points, a triangle fan for the bob, and lines via raw vertex buffers and custom shaders.

A real-time water surface simulation renders an animated 3D plane in WebGL. Three.js constructs the scene, geometry, and shader material, while GLSL vertex and fragment shaders compute wave displacement based on time, amplitude, and speed uniforms. The animation loop increments the time uniform each frame, continuously deforming the grid to mimic rippling water. The code imports from Three.js and gl-matrix for matrix and vector math, with the rendering handled by the WebGLRenderer.

Wave Simulation

An interactive wave simulation animates a one-dimensional fluid surface using the Canvas 2D API. The animation runs via `requestAnimationFrame`, rendering a filled water silhouette defined by a grid of 150 cells whose heights evolve through neighbor-based velocity updates, dampening, and mass conservation correction. Clicking or dragging the mouse pulls the water surface directly toward the cursor. The underlying physics model uses simple spring-like forces between adjacent cells, with pull strength and dampening factors controlling the motion.

Hello WebGL III

This example demonstrates WebGL’s ability to generate a gradient directly on the GPU, where the fragment shader colors each pixel based on its x and y coordinates relative to the canvas size. Using a minimal vertex shader and a full-screen triangle fan, it renders a smooth color transition without any external data. The code compiles and links shaders manually via the WebGL API, sets uniform and attribute locations, and calls `drawArrays` to produce the final image.

Hello WebGL II

This example demonstrates vertex-color interpolation in WebGL by rendering a square with different colors bound to each corner. Using the canvas element’s WebGL context, it compiles separate vertex and fragment shaders as text. The shaders define a `varying` color variable that smoothly interpolates RGBA values across the shape. The code explicitly binds two vertex attribute arrays—positions and colors—and draws the square as a triangle fan, illustrating low-level GPU rendering without external libraries.

This example presents a full-screen, animated canvas of randomly colored square pixels that continuously redraws itself. It shows how a simple generative pattern can create a dynamic, shifting mosaic across the entire browser window. The code uses the Canvas 2D API with `fillRect` and `requestAnimationFrame` to refresh the display, while each frame assigns new random RGB values to every pixel block. The visualization responds to window resizing by updating the canvas dimensions, and it is rendered inside a draggable, resizable widget container.
