GPUs are designed to do many things well, but drawing transparent 3D objects is not one of them. Opacity doesn't commute so that the order in which you draw surfaces makes a big difference. Of course simple additive blending does commute, but it's not really what we think of as "transparent objects". The simplest way to draw transparent objects is from back to front via the painter's algorithm. In this approach we sort geometry and draw only from back to front. This requires sorting triangles, which, in add
This site contains many samples and prototypes that I have developed. All the code for the samples are available on bitbucket and people are free to do with it what they will. Ideally its best if you use the latest version of the Chrome browser, I tend to use the latest available APIs and features as I prototype and learn new subjects.

ZWrap is a plugin for ZBrush® that allows you to automatically fit a pre-existing topology to your models. With an easy-to-use interface, it greatly speeds up a process of converting your characters and 3D scans into a production-ready topology.
Hi, I’m Greg, and for the last two years, I’ve been developing a 3d fractal exploration game, which started as just a “what if” experiment. I would describe myself as technical artist, meaning, I am…
Scan the World is an ambitious initiative whose mission is to archive the world’s sculptures, statues, artworks and any other objects of cultural significance using 3D scanning technologies to produce content suitable for 3D printing.

Nop Jiarathanakul online portfolio. I love making things, especially beautiful 3D applications. I like WebGL, shaders, three.js, typography, and indie rock. My background is in computer graphics, games, and animation.
A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range
