Now here's a good website with nice animated illustrations. But it's all one giant animated GIF. It won't scale up or down and it's already running short on colors. This is something where WebGL would excel, you could get the full color palette and make it interactive. So far all WebGL demos I have seen are tech demos or simple games that look like OpenGL games did in 2004, and they have not been really used inside websites, only as a separate square.

- exDM69 13y agoYes, SVG would work too but it is not ideal for 3d. The ability to rotate the view and zoom in to see the details would make this infographic even better. I wish the 3d models that were used to draw this would be shared so I could try animating them in 3d. And don't get me wrong, I think that this was an excellent inforgraphic.
