OK folks, anyone know much about WebGL?
For my work, I'd be very interested in something that can do a decent job of rendering atomic structures in a ball-and-stick view. Say, hundreds of balls and a similar number of sticks. Is this within the capabilities of WebGL?
- nkassis 15y agoYou can check http://www.chemdoodle.com/ http://www.chemdoodle.com/ under webcomponent. That might be what you are looking for.
- hugh3 15y agoThat has some features along the right lines, but I see that the 3D modelling bits really slow down when given more than twenty atoms to draw. Is that a limit of WebGL, or could I get better performance out by using lesser shading... or something? Come to think of it, is this even WebGL?
- nkassis 15y agoYeah there are much better ways to optimize this, check out http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2011/05/08/enhancing-molecules-using-opengl-es-20 http://www.sunsetlakesoftware.com/2011/05/08/enhancing-molec... This technique should work for WebGL too.
