Click here Make a Fountain of Sparks with WebGL WebGL is a 3D graphics library that enables modern web browsers to render interactive 2D and 3D scenes in a standard and efficient manner, allowing for GPU-accelerated use of physics and image processing and effects. In Chapter 10 of Real-Time 3D Graphics with WebGL 2, Farhad Ghayour and Diego Cantor show how easy it is to build a pretty shower pf sparks effect using point sprites in WebGL 2, as pictured above. You can adjust the size and lifetime of the particles by using slider controls, and further customizations are easily possible by making tweaks to the code. You'll discover how point sprites can be used to efficiently render particle effects, and the different ways that we can manipulate a particle simulation to achieve various effects.   Real-Time 3D Graphics with WebGL 2 - Second Edition Create interactive, visually stunning, high-performance 3D applications for the web with JavaScript and WebGL 2.
