WebGL Wind — Demo
A WebGL-powered visualization of wind power. Capable of rendering up to 1 million wind particles at 60fps.
This project is heavily inspired by the work of:
- Cameron Beccario and his wonderful Earth project with its open-source version.
- Fernanda Viégas and Martin Wattenberg and their US Wind Map project.
- Chris Wellons and his WebGL tutorials, in particular A GPU Approach to Particle Physics.
- Greggman and his WebGL Fundamentals guide.
