Despite all the trouble on this planet no matter where you turn, there is also some time for the nice things in life… like artful and creative coding. Some recent experiments I did you can find below.

All these should run on pretty much every modern browser/device/OS.

One of the latest experiments with WebGL… Click here for a full page view This WebGL-program does not do any typical lighting calculations for the surface-shading, but instead uses spherical environment-mapping. This variation of environment-mapping is often being used in 3D-applications like blender, Modo, Zbrush etc. to allow very fast shading of the edited scene/object. This technique is beneficial for investigating the surface-features and overall shape quickly, without having to trigger the lighting-simulation offered by a ray-tracer, since it fakes the specular term in a convincing way. In order to…read more
