Re: [Public WebGL] WebGL BOF at SIGGRAPH

Let's be nice to our colleagues and competitors. Unity is a partner in the WebGL ecosystem helping to move things forward, as is PlayCanvas.

 

Absolutely! And because of Unity, there is a lot of progress in the web space, which is great!

I just believe that web is unique on its own platform, and requires honest understanding of its specifics and user behavior on it. And success of WebGL platform depends a lot on tools and engines to value specifics of that platform: keeping builds small to save waiting times and traffic, respect casuality of users behavior on the web and don't brick browser/mobile by simply navigating the web.

I honestly wish Unity and other similar engines will be able to solve their challenges and allow creatives to create amazing content with huge reach to the web audience.

Hi Christophe,

Thanks, we'll plan to show it at the beginning of the BOF!

Don't want to sound harsh, but 100Mb+ for a static model with a bit of post effects with freeze of browser for at least 10 seconds at the end of the load, is not a great showcase for anything "web friendly".
