That's badass. Gracias.

celwell• 13 years ago

Impressive.

I can not see anything in my Chrome 28.0.1500.71 Linux. Here is the error:

sculptgl.min.js:138 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'viewportWidth' of null

thejosh• 13 years ago

Same here, Chrome Dev on Linux (Version 29.0.1547.18 dev), same error.

Proper 3D acceleration support ==> Mac OS X or Windows.

contingencies• 13 years ago

Works fine on Gentoo amd64 + Firefox.

pyalot2• 13 years ago

Linux Nvidia GTX-460 binary blob drivers, works fine.

vrodic• 13 years ago

Works fine on Intel Ivy Bridge /Mesa/Linux here

nawitus• 13 years ago

Linux has proper 3D acceleration.

tluyben2• 13 years ago

Same error here; 28.0.1500.71 Chrome on OS X 10.7.5. All other webgl demos seem to work fine.

rozap• 13 years ago

And me, 28.0.1500.52 on Debian

This was very interesting! Was the OP the author? Care to share a bit about how you made it?

blackhole• 13 years ago

No, I found it on twitter, but it wasn't tweeted by the author either. In fact that website appears to be the only place on the internet the author exists, except for his github profile: https://github.com/stephomi

Very impressive, especially the adaptive topology feature, I don't believe even Mudbox has that.

Adding some sort of collaborative features would would be plausible and really cool (keep perspective and settings local, sync model updates).

keerthiko• 13 years ago

Is this open source? I would love to poke around adding some real time collab features.

It doesn't like it when you try to drill holes through the sphere. Try it, it's fun.

ggchappell• 13 years ago

It seems to "like" it here. I can also do other topology changes: make two projections and join them, drill a hole to an existing hole.

I did get it to mess up (holes in the surface) by clicking "Symmetry".

mistercow• 13 years ago

Use "Adaptive" instead of "Subdivision" and it drills through just fine. You can even zoom inside the sphere and see how it made a nice little channel.

dakimov• 13 years ago

This is... awesome!

What is more important, it is actually usable.

jwarren• 13 years ago

Wow, that's beautiful.

I may have made the world's saddest slug.

aks3142• 13 years ago

Amazing! Working great on Win7/Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m.

Initial load gives a prompt 'Shit happens: context lost' and the sphere is not loaded.

Refresh says WebGL hit a snag, but provides an option to reload. After reload it works fine.

objects load well but I can't seem to find any more movement controls, just wasd/arrows. Still this is great and could serve as a step towards mudbox etc!

maaaats• 13 years ago

right click and drag works.

aks3142• 13 years ago

Yes it does, thank you.

jianshen• 13 years ago

Connect this to the Shapeways API and you've got one helluva powerful toy...

bdickason• 13 years ago

Was just thinking the same thing :) could make some really nice stuff in Ceramics.

spotco• 13 years ago

ridiculously fun to play with, made a pretty bad looking boo from mario bros http://pastebin.com/baGry3NF

This is Z-Brush on browser hehe

A small tangent for those inspired to sculpt by this. The free 3D-suite Blender recently got support for dynamic topology sculpting (that is adaptively change the mesh density as you sculpt). Cross-platform, quite capable and it's a ton of fun to play around with.

If you're interested in the Geometric Modelling part of sculpting, Freestyle is a good starting paper - http://liris.cnrs.fr/Documents/Liris-5391.pdf

antonwinter2• 13 years ago

i have made cool things in sculptris previously, this is awesome on my pc. gotta try it on the tablet now!

antonwinter2• 13 years ago

bugger, did not work on ipad under safari or chrome. still pretty awesome on pc

sbarre• 13 years ago

This is very impressive but the "skin" shader is pretty gross if you've made a particularly deformed shape..

pvnick• 13 years ago

Incredible work, this is great. These are exactly the kinds of projects we need to advance technology on the web.

gersonaya• 13 years ago

Awesome work.

H3g3m0n• 13 years ago

I'm running into issues. After a while it starts tearing holes in the sphere. Also the performance seems to die off. But I don't know much about 3D sculpting so maybe I'm abusing it.

Running on Chrome under Arch.
