Interesting. I notice you're using X3DOM. If you're looking for more realistic rendering capabilities, it's definitely worth checking out the open source PlayCanvas engine. Codebase: https://github.com/playcan

Take this PlayCanvas game for example: http://tanx.playcanvas.com/ It's a mere 1MB. You can play it in the mobile browser, mobile Facebook, Twitter Google+ clients, and mobile messaging apps. UDK and Unity can't h

three.min.js: 410KB playcanvas-stable.min.js: 521KB So 111KB difference. What would the load time difference be?

You can still do your own stuff in PlayCanvas (write your own shaders, procedurally create geometry, etc etc). But there's extra stuff you get: physically based renderer, powerful chunk based shader system, point light shadows, entity-

Looks cool. How was your experience with three.js? Did you check out the PlayCanvas engine: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine - it's a bit more geared towards games.

The engine is PlayCanvas. It's an open source game engine. Check out the repo on GitHub here: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine There's high level editor tools (kind of a blend of Google Docs and Unity) he

Great to see WebGL continue to gain traction. The elephant in the room is that Unity 5's WebGL export still can't reliably target mobile. It will be interesting to see how this problem is addressed in the coming months. In the mea

Custom shaders? Interesting. What shaders did you need that the PlayCanvas engine didn't provide by default?

Nice! Needs instructions though. I tried it first on my iPhone but it said it was Chrome only. Worth checking out the PlayCanvas Engine for a full, cross platform WebGL game engine: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine

I guess so. But the blog entry does call it out as a feature that won't be delivered initially, which suggested to me it's seen as 'important'. Also, let's take profiling. I wonder how easy it will be to pinpoint pe

Yeah, I'm curious to find out how script debugging will work with WebGL exports. Tough problem to solve. One of the nice things about PlayCanvas* ( https://playcanvas.com/ ) is that you can debug your GameObject scripts
