Section IV
Engine Design
Most graphics developers—and I believe most WebGL users—build applications on top of
game and graphics engines that hide the details of the graphics API and provide conve-
nient abstractions for loading models, creating materials, culling, level of detail, camera
navigation, and so on. is allows developers to focus on their specic problem domain
and not, for example, have to write shaders and model loaders by hand.
Given how many developers build on top of engines, it is important that engine devel-
opers make ecient use of the WebGL API and provide simple and exible abstractions.
In this section, the creators of some of the most popular WebGL engines and platforms
describe engine design and optimizations.
