WebGL Tadpoles [Scripts]

Created by Kris Temmerman, aka Neuro Productions, WebGL Tadpoles is an experiment with 30 tadpoles relying on inverse kinematic chains and moving in a 3D using Perlin Noise vector field.

Kris writes: And since they aren’t static objects, I have to project the vertices and calculate the normals every frame in JavaScript. In that sense, the JavaScript speed is reasonable. But as always, I was hoping for more. In C++ I can easily render +500 tadpoles with 4 times as many triangles per tadpole …..To get some anti-alias, I render it first in a frame buffer object 9 times the window size (width*3, height*3). So, no complaints about the WebGL speed… for now…
