As browser compatibility with WebGL grows in support, rich 3d interfaces are more in demand with each successive year.<\/p>\n
Moreover, even if a browser has no support for WebGL, we can degrade gracefully, and show the user an alternate site view with no more hassle than enqueueing modernizr.<\/p>\n
This talk will initially showcase a few examples of using 3D environments in WordPress.<\/p>\n
I’ll then go over helpful tips about WebGL and the relevance to WordPress, and discuss frequently-used JavaScript libraries that make our lives easier, followed by how to use them properly within WordPress.<\/p>\n
I’ll then provide an example – along with links to more thorough guides – on how to pull in data from WordPress into JavaScript as globals, and make it available for use in your 3D application.<\/p>\n
This will be followed by briskly picking apart a basic WebGL ‘Hello World’, looking at each component:<\/p>\n
– The _s theme
\n– A custom page template
\n– The 3.js library
\n– Custom js for the page template
\n– WP ajax functionality<\/p>\n
If all goes well, attendees will conclude the talk having a good understanding of the features and caveats of 3d application development in WordPress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
