Nice little diddy, had to reload the page in order to get it running for some reason.

worked after restarting chrome once here
Yeah, I suspect it's because the lack of loading (and files not being ready). Will try to sort that out at some point.

Btw, I've just committed the code to github (it has some additional assets the zip didn't include):

Didn't run with firefox on linux 64bit. Tried Iceweasel 3.5.10 and Firefox 3.7a6pre. No chrome installed.
added on the 2010-07-25 03:52:06 by Nuclear Nuclear
I bet you could have installed Chrome in the time you wrote that message ;)

Ah, I think it doesn't work on Firefox because Firefox doesn't support .mp3. I'll see if I can make a .ogg too, but I think it'll run quite slow anyway.

And when we finally move away from "requires this and that gfx card" we end up with "requires this and that browser". Great.

Won't install Chrome though. I don't like the way Google wants to think for me.

yea i wont watch it for pretty much the same reason.

VIDEO PLZ!? :)
added on the 2010-07-25 09:01:18 by gentleman gentleman
It requires Chrome because the other browsers aren't fast enough yet. In some months hopefully it will run fast properly in all browsers (which is not exactly what happens with graphic cards requirements).

I've changed it so it uses an .ogg instead of an .mp3. Albeit much slower, it should now also run in Firefox and Opera.

thump up for the platform.

thumb down for the music and content = piggie.
Worked just as fast in Chrome(Iron) as it did in Opera(Opera@USB 10.60 portable), but Opera had display problems.

Worked flawlessly in Iron.

Brilliant.

Trace and doob on the same demo! \o/

...but unfortunately it's not playing in safari. No other browsers installed here (unless you count ie7 in vmware). I'll wait for the software to catch up.
added on the 2010-07-26 17:15:59 by psonice psonice
I don't think Safari will ever add support for .ogg files. Neither IE...

Probably Chrome on vmware (or virtualbox) will give you the best results.

Crawled at something like 5 FPS with Firefox and was very close to freezing the PC every few seconds.

Mate was unable to watch it on a Mac, which is odd (Safari, Chrome, FF). Maybe its just him.

Nonetheless, very impressive for the short time that has been put into this - apart from the used libs themselves.

I like.

Maali: You're the reason I won't submit more prods to pouet. Fucking troll.
Keops: Yeah, I code that bad. Or maybe you don't read enough.
mog: That's quite a serious problem, whether Apple does something about it, or Chrome moves to another lib. Opera seems to be the only option performance-wise (although they have the clear screen bug too).

Don't worry iq, you're not missing much.

There is no kkapture for browser demos, neither I have access to the HD from the browser to save pngs out of it, and I don't have any decent software to record my screen on Linux.
added on the 2010-07-26 23:40:43 by mrdoob mrdoob
As slyspy said - the time is still not ripe for general browser demos. But we´re getting close (too bad that the screen got messed up in Opera - in fullscreen it already made me forget that it is running in a browser)
rulez added on the 2010-07-27 02:37:17 by T$ T$
I remember watching it on the big screen thinking of "texas" by keyboarders.

I can't watch it on FF properly and I don't have chrome. Maybe it is too early to say that webdemos have solved the platform issue, but maybe I'm talking bollocks here.
rulez added on the 2010-07-27 12:08:50 by Navis Navis
kkapture for web demos? how about kkapture.com, hosting an app that receives the .ogg/mp3/whatever and a stream of .pngs sent by the demo, fires out a video some time later? I'm guessing it's at least possible to draw to canvas, then read back the pixels and send them somewhere other than the local disk.
added on the 2010-07-27 12:13:53 by psonice psonice
Thanks.
I've been learning much by viewing the Three.js code since some time (props for MIT license).
Must say it's not that slow for <canvas>.

Even if not technically outstanding (for my standards), it felt really nice: good flow, nice ambient, and it ran fast on Chrome. Kudos, keep them coming :)
rulez added on the 2010-07-27 14:15:37 by shash shash
p01: local or external. Just thinking if it was somewhere out there on the net, you could capture directly to, say, capped.tv :) A standard API and it'd be fairly easy to capture any web demo.
added on the 2010-07-27 14:42:24 by psonice psonice
Ideally yes, the stream of PNGs could go directly to, say, capped.tv for encoding along the .ogg or .mp3.

If Canvas was the only way to make cool effects and people only use a time based timeline ( no other input than the current time ), it would be a piece of cake to extend the Date object to get regular ticks simulating a stable framerate and upload each frame to a server.

However Canvas ( and SVG ) is far from being the only way to make cool effects in an open web standards based demo, and alas there is no standard to get a screenshot of the current document.

Also with the forth coming Audio Data API, people might start to do beat detection and the likes on their .ogg which would make it quite tricky to get the proper visuals.

added on the 2010-07-27 15:04:10 by p01 p01
#ponce: Glad to know that other people are learning out of it too :)

psonice: I may do a js>php thing to save a sequence of frames, but it's incredibly low priority right now. Source code is on github if anyone cares that much.
added on the 2010-07-27 15:14:35 by mrdoob mrdoob
Besides, I keep tweaking and updating the demo from time to time whenever I get ideas for it. So a video of it may get outdated in a day.
added on the 2010-07-27 15:17:08 by mrdoob mrdoob
can't you use the canvas image api to dump frames?
added on the 2010-07-27 15:17:17 by superplek superplek

well designwise it couid have been a bit better and more, also it runs way to slow in ff4b1.

soueusou+wysiwtf: I really doubt the JS engine is stressed here. What takes the heat of the action is the Canvas and general rendering engine, and Webkit ( and Opera's ) is much faster than Gecko

Javascript with canvas and sound is a great platform for demos. Basically all demos from DOS, amiga, etc are possible to do now with a fast javascript engine like V8 and canvas tag.

I always feel Trace never quite gets the props he deserves for innovating on the web. Almost on a daily basis he's constantly pushing the bleeding edge of web technologies; beginning with Flash then doing it all again with HTML5. Sole's soundtrack compliments the production very well indeed, not to mention she's an incredible web coder too.

The readme bit clearly states things are royally and well fucked if you play this in any other environment than the one recommended. Quit bitching, you bunch of failures! Get back to demanding video captures for console demos and finals for nvidia-only demos from 2004.

This was brilliant. Okay, maybe "1997 called, it wants their 64k intro vibe back" is in order, but looking like certain intros made of particle awesome in space works well in my book :)
