Web 3D Expression
Possibilities of webGL Expression
In the course of web production, you may hear the term webGL.
WebGL is a technology developed to realize 3D graphics in the browser and is rendered using the HTML canvas element.
It is a standardized specification that works on almost any device that can display a web browser.
Of course, it also runs at high speed on smartphones.
Photorealistic 3DCG can be shown from above or turned sideways.
And 3D models can be moved freely using mouse control.
Some sites display products on the screen.
And simulate changing colors, changing clothes, or redecorating a room.
Graphic 3D Effects
Pointing and movement can be expressed with the addition of three-dimensional depth.
UI with a 3D interface can also be implemented.
Control of the vertices of a 3D model. Control of colors on planar coordinates, color changes of textures, etc.
Various effects can be added, such as rotation, translation, deformation, collision, and even physics calculations.
Production Fees
webGL can realize lively images in html expressions, but it is considered a difficult technology to implement.
Do you think that it can only be implemented in large, well-funded projects backed by major sponsors?
And do you think that without specialized knowledge, you may not be able to successfully communicate what you want to do
There are a number of companies that offer content using webGL, but if you go through an agency and have intermediary margins added on, the amount of money involved can be enormous.
Have you ever received a quote of $20,000 or $30,000?
However, the amount paid to the subcontractor actually doing the work is a fraction of that.
We do the actual coding work in-house, which is cost-effective.
However, while we would like to make this service as easy as possible, it does take some time and cost because it requires specialized knowledge and complex programming.
As a rough estimate, we expect to charge around 300$ per business day.
The production period for a simple project should be 10 business days, and for a complex project, about 40 business days.
With precise instructions and a well-planned schedule, time can be shortened and costs can be reduced.
On the other hand, if you get lost in the confirmation process or need to test several patterns, it will take that much more time.
We need you to understand
To run 3DCG in the browser, 3D model must be prepared in addition to the javascript implementation.
And complex 3D models need to be optimized for handling on the web.
Compared to video games, the power related to playback speed is lower, so there are certain limits to the playback of very fast movements and very complex models.
On devices with low specifications, movement becomes heavy from about 30,000 to 50,000 polygons.
Apart from the processing power of the CPU, the performance of the graphics card is easily affected. In particular, please note that Android-based smartphones and inexpensive notebook PCs reach their limits quickly.
Awaiting your order!
Coding is in some ways similar to building. As it is said that 80% of construction work is setup, it is important that everything from foundation to finish is well planned!。
While we encourage you to freely imagine and try things out during the image pursuit stage, once the actual work begins, even small changes can have a major impact on the overall project, affecting the schedule and the price.
Please consult with us with an understanding of these factors.
Although not suitable for cost-sensitive projects, webGL is worth a try if you want a different impact from other companies.
We are a design and production company, so we consider implementation from a graphic point of view, such as beauty and clarity, rather than from a technical point of view.
In addition, for interactive and moving content, we strive for behavior that feels natural to the user, and smooth movements that do not feel uncomfortable.

First, please visit our productions page. We introduce examples of our work that are currently available on the web.
There are also examples that cannot be shown to the public due to adult reasons. Please contact us if you are interested.
