“After the Flood” by Will Eastcott at 3D Web Fest

By Will Eastcott

On 30 June 2017, experience the most innovative, experimental and game-based projects from top thought leaders, influencers and creators at the 3D Web Fest . Artists working with WebGL, WebAudio, Javascript, CSS, HTML5, Three.js, and VR will showcase their creations in a mind-blowing festival of bleeding-edge tech. Now in its third year, over 15 artists will explore the theme of “connection” in a film festival setting. The third annual 3D Web Fest is a fundraiser benefiting non-profit [CODAME ART+TECH](/orgs/codame/events/codame-arttech-c1a) whose mission is to embrace innovation through creativity, play, and collaboration between companies, artists and technologists, building immersive, engaging, out of the ordinary experiences. “ [After the Flood](/orgs/codame/projects/after-the-flood) ” is one of those projects! Take a walk through the fantastical environment of water, glass, and steel running entirely within your web browser! After the Flood showcases the latest advancements in interactive 3D content on the web. It is powered by WebGL 2.0, now available in Firefox and Chrome. It was made using the open source PlayCanvas Engine and Online Tools in collaboration with Mozilla. Techniques used include HDR+MSAA rendering, using z-buffer as a texture, procedural clouds using 3D textures, hardware PCF, alpha to coverage and transform feedback particles. It demonstrates features such as procedural clouds, procedural water ripples and reflection, leaf particles, animated trees, mirrors, dynamic lights, compressed textures, asset streaming, runtime lightmap baking, and more.
