Mechanical Watch: Exploded View
In May 2022, someone posted to Hacker News Bartosz Ciechanowski's blog post explaining how mechanical watch movements work. Since then, his blog has been my absolute favorite corner of the Internet.
WebGL2 vs WebGL1
WebGL is a 3D API that works as a rasterization engine, requiring users to provide code for rendering points, lines, and triangles. Users must create vertex and fragment shaders to control how WebGL processes and displays graphics. The WebGL API simplifies rendering by executing user-created functions to draw basic shapes like triangles.
WebGL How It Works
The text explains how WebGL processes vertices to create triangles and render them with pixels using shaders. Varyings are used to pass data from the vertex shader to the fragment shader for color interpolation. Buffers are essential for transferring vertex data to the GPU for rendering, and attribute locations are assigned to specify how to extract and use this data efficiently.
