Choppy for me with a Nvidia GTS 450 (proprietary drivers) on Fedora 23. Every part of the massively long pipeline from HTML to DVI has to be perfect to get smooth playback. It seems we are some way away from reaching that yet.

Smooth for me on Intel HD4000, open source drivers, current Ubuntu.

Looks very nice apart from some minor details like water going through the boat. And runs very smoothly on my old Linux laptop with a built-in graphics card.

the water level penetrates the boat?

A way to fix this would be to render the boat and the water separately then merge the two images, but that feature may not be available on the engine that they're using for this simulation (goocreate.com)

We made this almost three years ago, way before we had our tool and platform (Goo Create).

I'm surprised it still runs :)

The character uses more joints than some mobiles can handle (those with a vertex uniform limit of 128).

Actually, this is the one we made three years ago: http://labs.gooengine.com/pearl-boy/

The one linked to was a quick remake in Create...

Cool - you can move around with WASD.

That's a beautiful scene, by the way. I just hope someone comes to rescue the poor kid soon.

Smooth on my Kubuntu AMD Radeon 7670M. You can move the boat about with the wasd keys, if you didn't know.

And a very old one too. Look at the website for some really cool looking projects: goocreate.com
