Nice (in Chrome and Firefox)! Any idea why this doesn't work in Safari? I just get a spinning circle.

[magicalist → dubya]

Do you have WebGL enabled in Safari? (it isn't by default)

To turn it on, first turn on the Develop menu in Advanced Preferences, then select "Enable WebGL" in the Develop menu.

[dubya → magicalist]

Yep, WebGL is enabled. I don't get the unsupported browser message, just the same spinning circle that the other browsers have, except this one doesn't go away.

Working on an old PC without supported graphics drivers/hardware - any chance of a video?

[fragsworth → joahua]

Wow... No 3D card? That's a SERIOUSLY old PC.

[joahua → fragsworth]

It's (probably, as I didn't build it - Radeon HD3400 for those who know better) 3D capable but apparently not on the WebGL support list of FF/Chrome/whatever.

[keeperofdakeys → joahua]

Chrome and firefox blacklist webgl on certain setups, but you can force-enable it. On chrome, put about:flags in your urlbar. As well as being able to enable webgl, there are many other goodies there. On firefox, put about:config in your urlbar, search for webgl, and enable the force-enabled option. Your system will either crash, freeze or display an endless webgl forest...

That should theoretically support WebGL. I remember running WebGL on a Radeon 3200. Check from amd.com for new drivers.

Very cool! Is the source for this available anywhere?

[DanielRibeiro → bitops]

It is not obfuscated. View source fot the code, and for the linked libraries (also not obfuscated).

[christoph → DanielRibeiro]

Seriously cool. Many thanks for not obfuscating the source :)

[DanielRibeiro → christoph]

Thanks, but I just submited. It is copyrighted to OutsideOfSociety 2011, http://oos.moxiecode.com/. They did the great job.

Looks great on my over 5 year old PC running Ubuntu 64 bit (yes PC != Windows!) with an nVidia 6800 and Google Chrome browser.

Both CPU cores were at 70% though.

Something innately eerie about this, nice work. Did you come up with the "scene" yourself or is it borrowed from somewhere?

[boop → fybren]

Nice work! Where is the music from?

Click the (i) Info button in the top left.

Hm i get an 404 on wordpress :-|

[zobzu]

that's pretty cool. It's fluid and nice. Rare enough for WebGL ;-)

Hey guys, let's please stop posting all those trivial WebGL and CSS3 demos on HN, ok?
