Amazing what can be done with some free time

So I finally got some much needed free time thanks to the Easter holiday and got a few more 3D JavaScript demonstrations written and uploaded!

Checkout this demo which loads a rather cool looking Dino-Rider mesh and associated materials and renders it. Click the canvas and take it for a spin? Get it? Dino-Rider + take it for a spin + spinning 3D mesh!?! (ED: stick with your day job!)

This demo does your basic perspective correct texture mapping. Yeah yeah yeah… booooring but good for benchmarks :)

JavaScript Real-time 3D

With the advent of JavaScript engines capable of decent execution speed, and the new HTML5 Canvas element, I decided to write a basic 3D engine to perform some comparisons with other languages such as Java and C# and gauge whether I should invest my time on this platform.

The results so far are quite promising and the speed jumps in the last few months alone have been impressive, especially with Google Chrome 10 and above.

If you have a HTML5 capable browser why not check the demo and see how well they run on your machine?
