In case anyone else noticed that the author seemed familiar, he's the same one who did the Harmony sketcher: http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ Lots of other incredible demos on his portfolio page: http://mrdoob.com/blog

hey, glad you like my stuff :D

Last time I played with harmony sketch, I found a cool bug/feature. I wanted to know if you knew about it…

If you open it up and use the grid mode to draw a bunch of dots on the screen, then switch to a different mode (like long fur) and hit clear it will immediately render all of the grid dots connected with fur. You can then cancel and save the image. I know it works in safari… not sure about other browsers. Is that an intentional behavior?

Well, you'll then be amazed with what can be done with just 297 bytes ;) http://www.p01.org/releases/512b_jspongy/jspongy_hardcore.ht...

Warning to other clickers: It pegged a core and made browser (FF3.6) pretty unresponsive. Nifty none the less.

Your comment only made me want to try it more!

Fantastic work. I wonder how long before this sort of thing can be used to do 3D development on the mobile web for devices with full browsers (iPhone, Palm Pre, Android, etc...)

Fails for me in Firefox, runs great in Chrome.

All the same, this is awesome. Thnx!

To the poster: thanks for spreading the little library over here! ^^

Nice lib and examples!

Some time ago I also started with a 3d engine (path tracer). If anyone like to have some code: http://thuijzer.nl/jsrender/ (I never took time to optimize/bugfix the code).

I'll have to try it on Safari, but that's not supposed to be normal no... Sounds like a wicked bug though! ;)
