WebGL- Simple Cubes with Texture
Written by 14 July 2013
One great HTML5 feature is WebGl which lets you create and add 3D objects in the web pages. It needs no further loading like flash objects, and be executed on the visitor's (client) PC. So it is fast and beautiful. The following example shows how to set up WebGL by Three.js engine which simplifies the operation. In this example you can learn how to draw cubes, rotate and add textures to them. You can also find how to set the camera and light of for your scene. Enjoy!
