→Standardizing and Shipping WebGL/WebGL 2
| Line 21: | Line 21: | ||
WebGL 2 is based on the OpenGL ES 3.0 specification, and offers new features, including 3D textures and 2D texture arrays, ESSL 3.0 (an advanced shading language), integer texture formats and vertex attributes, transform feedback, and uniform blocks for more efficient uploads. It also adds primitive restart, framebuffer blitting and invalidation, separable sampler objects, occlusion queries and pixel buffer objects. Some optional WebGL 1 extensions are now part of the guaranteed core of WebGL 2, including multiple render targets, instanced drawing, depth and floating-point textures, and sRGB support. Also notable is support for the new ETC2 texture format which provides alpha support on a compressed texture, is supported on both desktop and mobile devices, and allows developers to use a single texture format across devices. | WebGL 2 is based on the OpenGL ES 3.0 specification, and offers new features, including 3D textures and 2D texture arrays, ESSL 3.0 (an advanced shading language), integer texture formats and vertex attributes, transform feedback, and uniform blocks for more efficient uploads.
