Stick around at the top of the page so you don't miss out on the gratuitous rotating 3D truck of awesomeness.



I love that the tires say "Firewatch" instead of "Firestone" :)


Oh, that explains why my cpu utilization doubled when I opened that page.


And you can click it and spin it, too. :)


Sad that you can't open the doors, pick the containers, spin the wheels or open the hood :D It is a nice touch though!


Was this modeled in a 3d application and then exported to canvas? Curious to hear how something like this is done.


You can load various 3D model types (and textures) via three.js, which uses canvas.


In case anyone else is wondering, for me it works in Safari but not Chrome


Works fine in Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)


Odd, it works on Chrome on one of my laptop but not the other: the canvas tag does not even appear.


Works in Firefox Nightly, too.


Works for me fine on Chrome 59 on OSX.


Works in Firefox Nightly.


Took a peak into the source, apparently they thought writing 30,000 lines of code was worth it for a 3D spinning truck.


Took a look into the source of the OS that I'm reading the Panic web page on. Absolutely disgusting that there's over 1.5M lines of code _in the kernel alone_. This is the kind of software bloat that is the death of our industry.


> they thought writing 30,000 lines of code was worth

> implying they wrote most of that

That's absurd. They used a library, and it's a product page, so looking nice is a high priority


Well, it is.


Most of that is just three.js


It looks like they just used three.js
