StormEngineC is a 3D graphics library written in JavaScript utilizing several HTML5 features such as WebGL, WebCL and WebSockets. The library provides an easy way to load objects in the OBJ or Collada format and add them to physical simulations. The source code is free and is hosted in GitHub.

Usage[]

The basic source code for initializing a small scene in StormEngineC:

<script src="js/StormEngineC/StormEngineC.class.js"></script>
<canvas id="example" width="1024" height="512"></canvas>

<script>
    stormEngineC.createWebGL({'target': 'example',
                              'editMode': true});
        
    var node = stormEngineC.createNode();
    node.loadObj({'objUrl': 'resources/obj/cornellbox.obj'});
</script>

History[]

StormEngineC was developed to provide a means for displaying 3D scenes in the web browser and to easily enable a physical system with gravity and collisions for objects.

It initially appeared in the first public specification of WebGL, written in Java and called StormEngineJ. It was later ported to JavaScript which brought benefits with respect other 3D visualization methods in a web browser. For example, JavaScript does not require additional plug-ins for viewing.

The first version of the library was published on Google Code in February 2011. At the moment, there has not been offered a stable version of this.

Version 1.2 introduced a rendering system based on path tracing with the option to be used as render farm, as well as some facilities for starting up a game server using Node.js.
