The effect looks pretty… useable but the technique is interesting, thanks.
interesting effect, but where would you use it? The background demo was jerky even in chrome on an iMac. I hate flash but this effect is best as a seamless looping movie
the effect in the demo looks great. IIt may be good alternate to Flash but how the effect can be good in a websiteas shown in the demo. nevertheless great work.
This is good, but effects are too slow and it has a jerk in it. can this be fixed ?
I think is better to wait for the full development of WebGL … they will be pretty much faster to render.

wild!
amazing effect!!!
Like others said… cool idea but useless. Too slow and jerky and I’m guessing processor intensive.
I’m sorry, but I can’t see how we can use this effect? It was eating up 40 – 60% of my CPU and my computer is realitvly powerfull (relative = don’t pwn nerds :D)
Interesting code anyway :)
I haven’t looked at this tutorial yet. It’s probably good.

:(
The quantity of premium tutorials and the quality of subject matter have been disappointing. I hope that both improve soon.
Hi,
I’ve been a plus subscriber for a little while now and really am having a hard time finding where the hell I get this tutorial? Is there an easier way to display where we log in and how we get the files? What if you made a “Download Source” button that when clicked opens a modal window with a login screen that when entered will download the correct content.
Thanks,
Seth
Yes, The demo are nice. and looks great bus where to use this types of effect.
Thanks

Proof of concept really. I would think it would more of a background animation or just a little flair in a small corner or something.
Games need to be done with much more developed code so I wouldnt want to think this is some infant step towards developing yet another way to do whats already possible by other means.
Still, kinda neat.
Really it’s cool.. Thanks a lot..
