Web Gl / 3D In Corona

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has already been answered (I did a forum search but couldn’t find anything) but on the page: http://www.coronalabs.com/i-want-to-build/hybrid-apps/ it mentions html inside corona using Open GL. Does this mean that I could embed a 3D Web gl app in corona and get it working as a native app on IOS?

Thanks in advance.

Marc

Hi Marc, 

What my experience is and what I read from the page you mention is that you can use a HTML(5) webview as an OpenGL object (in Corona it is called a display object). Which means you can do all sorts of 2D effects with the view. (Rotation, scaling, translation, and some non-affine transforms). You can also use it as a physics object and have it bouncing around your screen when you introduce gravity.

But I am not sure if there’s support  inside the webview itself for Web GL.

Hi springmorning,

Thanks for your response.

It may be that 3d web gl in a native app is still a little way off. I do have several other options anyway but it would be nice to use the same code for porting to every device.

I am going to try a few experiments anyway with some html5 and corona over the next few days…

I’d appreciate if you could share your results. Feel free to e-mail me at infoATspringmorningNL
