"WebGL - the best way to do 3D"

5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

Runs on all platforms, it's very fast, it's quick both to prototype in and to build something serious. Also tools and libraries are really great especially three.js and specifically react-three-fiber, which allows for functional reactive style in building traditionally object oriented 3d games and apps. The parent organization Khronos Group is really awesome and working on a lot of helpful 3d tools - i love their file format gltf and glb which are the future of 3d transfer - I've been donating to the project for the past few years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

There is really nothing I dislike - I've been using WebGL for the past 5 years and I have yet to find something that it's not good for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebGL:

For the first timers I recommend trying it out using react-three-fiber. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WebGL solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since Apple stopped supporting OpenGL WebGL it's really the only option for all platforms - you build app once and it will run the same on iOS, Android, web, Windows and Mac (I used Electron with great success for those). WebGL is very good way to introduce someone to 3D world - it is easy to understand and very powerful. Good for teams as well as individuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great 3D modeling tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

The software is very intuitive and easy to use. This platform has one of the best 3D modeling UIs on the market - making it easy to get up and running quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

The software requires a great deal of PC bandwidth, making it difficult to multitask unless using a high-powered PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebGL:

This is a great tool for basic and rapid modelling, but there are more precise options out there for more complicated 3D modelling needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WebGL solving and how is that benefiting you?

WebGL allows us to quickly model 3D products and iterate through different design options. This has made our team more efficient and better able to explore different designs for our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Watching interactive 3D from the browser"

5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

Enabling the 3D Technology streaming into web. WebGL has enabled, to ignore the proprietary 3D Softwares that need to be installed. Without installing any desktop softwares like desktop 3D Viewers, you will be anle to view 3D Being loaded in browser environment using WebGL Technology. Static model can be viewed in 3D Viewer within browser which is nothing but WebGL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

complex to write native WebGL code, will be easier to generate automatically. The WebGL Code can automatically be generated via JS Export of the specific model/scene from the 3D Proprietory softwares. When the model or scene being exported to JS Format, a binary code will be generated, which is nothing but WebGL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebGL:

Will recommend to everyone. To all those who wish to build interactive 3D Applications, WebGL is THE RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WebGL solving and how is that benefiting you?

3D Enabling over web. Porting 3D over web for concurrent access. Live implementation of 3D Based modeling, 3D Rotation, 3D Measurements, rendering, Shaders, blendshapes, morph targets, Rig and 3D animation exported to JS Format and loading them via Threejs json loader which is webgl.

"WebGL is just great for data visualization"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

Versatile and easy to use. Using it for data visualization proved to be a great choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

Usually, if I am not satisfied with the end result it is not because of the WebGL itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"WebGL - Java API for render 3D Graphics"

4/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

WebGL enables complex 3D graphics to be viewed, created and managed dynamically in a client's web browser window Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

It does not have the fixed call functions of OpenGL 1.0 which are also deprecated in OpenGL 3.0, for example, rather than creating the objects, face by face, with a function call on each face, only one function submits a list of faces to the motor. Also some compatibility problems appeared in its early days, many graphics cards had been blocked in WebGL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebGL:

WebGL is widely supported in modern browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WebGL solving and how is that benefiting you?

WebGL is fully integrated into all browser web standards, allowing hardware (physical) acceleration of the GPU and image processing and effects as part of the canvas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful tool for creating both complex and simple web experiences."

5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

Great and easy to use API, a lot of references and solution examples on the web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

It requires users to have Javascript enabled, therefore you can't always rely on this technology alone. It could also be open-source or at least free for personal usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about WebGL?

The ability to enhance our websites' wow effect with 3D interactions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WebGL?

It's hard as hell to use natively, I wouldn't be able to use it without three.js bridging all the difficulties in something easily understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WebGL:

If you're not a computer graphics genius who can write low level code, look up three.js and dominate WebGL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WebGL solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bringing 3D to the web always meant one thing: prerendered frames or videos. Interactivity was a big minus with this method. WebGL brings this very needed interactivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
