Igloo Inc: Crystal Growth Algorithms, Shader-Driven UI, and Volume Data

Abeto built the Igloo Inc site entirely in WebGL, from procedurally grown ice crystals to shader-driven UI text. The particle footer alone, powered by custom VDB-to-browser volume data, is worth the scroll.

gpu-curtains: A WebGPU 3D Engine That Syncs Shaders to Your DOM

Martin Laxenaire rebuilt his DOM-to-shader library for WebGPU, and this time it's a full 3D engine. Lights, shadows, compute shaders, glTF support, and the same trick that made curtains.js useful: your HTML elements become shader geometry that scrolls and resizes like native DOM.
