- JTon 13y agoHuh? How are the pop out effects shown on the demo page irritating?
- skrebbel 13y agoI can't tell whether you're being sarcastic.
- jlgreco 13y agoHow are they not? Seriously though, "irritating" is a matter of opinion. Explaining why something is irritating is like explaining why something tastes good.
- yareally 13y agoMaybe my parents would think they're really neat and cool (as they have mentioned in similar things before to me), but I would object to that. While their claims of thinking that are perfectly rational from their own viewpoint (because they consider it novel and unique), I see it as an anti-pattern and distraction that gets in the way of productivity.
- alt_ 13y agoThe effect conveys geometries and dimensions when activated that would otherwise require an animation. For simple objects this could save bandwidth and be resolution independent. While I do not advise using it everywhere, it is just one use case that I do not have a problem with and that could be a useful part of a designer's toolset. Think of it as a 3D version of animated SVG. I only noted this because most other uses of WebGL are unnecessarily flashy and irritating.
