Doom3 Gangnam Style in WebGL
- CJefferson 14y agoAh, I came to make a comment about needing 'in WebGL' adding to the title, and I see it is already there! Little comment: If like me you try to click on anything in chrome, you will get a message about the page wanting to disable your mouse cursor. I thought that sounded dodgy, but agree. It just means let the app take control of the cursor, so you can use it for changing viewpoint.
- dirkk0 14y agoAdditionally you can use WASD.
- sillysaurus 14y agoBug report for the author: This demo tries to capture your mouse cursor, so that you can use the mouse to look around the world. But it's malfunctioning (on Chrome, Win 7 x64). Synopsis: the first time it loaded, I clicked on the canvas. That popped up a banner at the top of my browser window which said something like "so-and-so website would like to take over your mouse cursor. Allow or deny?" So I tried to click on the allow button, but wound up accidentally clicking a bookmark, which of course navigated me away. So I hit the back button, which reloaded the demo. But now it's not trying to capture my mouse anymore, regardless of what I do. Just writing that up on the off-chance it's helpful to the author. The itself bug doesn't matter much, though. Author: fantastic work, fantastic execution.
- TsiCClawOfLight 14y agocould be your chrome settings... I allowed mouse capture permanently, and whenever I hit escape and click the canvas again, it retakes my cursor.
- dexter313 14y agoYou can Walk around with WASD.
- drazion 14y agothat's a silly, yet creative, take on using WebGL - bravo
- lexy0202 14y agoAnd suddenly the true purpose of WebGL became clear.. This is pretty awesome, would be better if it was in sync with the music though? It gets out after a bit.
- mtgx 14y agoYou may be on to something. In the future more artists may choose to make music videos like this or Ro.Me if it's cost-effective enough. Artists have always embedded CGI stuff into their music videos, anyway.
- xyproto 14y agoThat's amazing.
- sarabellumac 14y agolol, well done!
- danvideo 14y agoVery creative and entertaining. I can't stop watching the middle monster. Something I didn't realize at first was the ability to use the movement keys - seeing different angles is pretty cool. As another comment mentioned, the sync could definitely be tighter, but otherwise well done.

- Fletch137 14y agoVery interesting, and very well done. I also cannot adequately express my thanks for putting a mute button on there.
- MayorOfMonkeys 14y agoIt was more for my benefit while I was developing it. ;)
- Swannie 14y agoDitto. I noticed that Entropia Universe added a gangnam style dance to their in-game emotes last year. And it's been advertised all Winter on UK TV for some console dance game. I wonder if this is one of the most motion-captured/implemented dance moves/sequences ever? :-)
- ph0rcyas 14y agoThis is just great. Enjoyed it - posted it on fb and ready to watch it again - then the server is apparently overloading. Wonder what the traffic is like.
- daredevildave 14y agoNow running on a larger instance. Cloud win! (for the moment...)
- daredevildave 14y agoHere is the CPU: https://twitter.com/daredevildave/status/289029688943321089/photo/1 https://twitter.com/daredevildave/status/289029688943321089/... Turns out a m1.small is much better than an t1.micro :-)
- macavity23 14y agoNot only a great idea but also free load testing for the playcanvas.com guys. Their appserver appears to have melted: the CTO's hands are currently a blur on his keyboard!
- MayorOfMonkeys 14y agoWe've spun up a new, higher capacity server. Enjoy!!! :)
- quaunaut 14y agoaaaaaaaaaaaand back melted
- galaktor 14y agoSeems much better now.
- cryodesign 14y agoImpressive animation - where did you the mocap data from, or all animated by hand?
- Yuioup 14y agoProbably a live capture.
- forgingahead 14y agoMixamo.com has a good free Gangnam mo-cap you can apply to any uploaded model. It's actually a pretty interesting service, you can just upload a 3D model and their software will auto-rig it for you, and you can pick any animation to apply to the rig (This dance is one of them). Seems it'd be a great service for indie game devs -- not one myself, but looks fascinating. Clickable: http://www.mixamo.com/editor/new/1643 http://www.mixamo.com/editor/new/1643

- mcpoulet 14y agoLast august there was this other WebGL animation with Doom 3 characters : http://alteredqualia.com/three/examples/webgl_animation_skinning_doom3.html http://alteredqualia.com/three/examples/webgl_animation_skin...
- kjackson2012 14y agoI was ready to declare the whole Gangnam Style thing dead-and-buried, but this still made me chuckle. Very nice work!
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoThat is just wrong on every level. Utterly brilliant but wrong.
- dexter313 14y agoShadows are kinda blocky. And some weapons would be nice.
- wheaties 14y agoHow do you shoot? I want to blow these guys up. Hysterical.
- egb 14y agoWell dang, crashed my firefox after loading about 1/3 :-\ Chrome is fine, but firefox is where I keep a bazillion pages open
- arikrak 14y agoWarning: May freeze your browser.
- base698 14y agoWorks on Android for me which is even more impressive.
- ChrisClark 14y agoWhat browser are you using? It doesn't work on Chrome on my Nexus 4.
- gingerbreadman 14y agoThis is neat! Had to show it to a couple of other people around me, sucks to explain who the characters are though to non-gamers :).
- kjhughes 14y agoYou realize that you just have to provide a chain gun now, right?
- mnml_ 14y agogangnam style overdose
- gojomo 14y agoVery nice! (Is there a way to rotate rather than just strafe-move?) Now if there were a game that reproduced the scenes and people (including Psy) in the actual video -- and let you blow them all to pieces, stopping the music each time a scene is cleared -- that might get another billion plays!
- heyitsnick 14y ago> (Is there a way to rotate rather than just strafe-move?) In chrome i had to explicitly allow canvas to take control of the mouse, then you have full mouse-look. edit: more info below
- agildehaus 14y agoAh, technology.
