The Storforsen is part of the Pite River in Sweden. Storforsen, a rapid in the Pite River in Swedish Norrbottens län is located approximately 24 miles northwest of Älvsbyn. Based on the volume of water flow, the rapids are one of the biggest in Europe. The rapids stretch over a distance of 3 miles in which it drops 269 feet, 197 of which are a single waterfall.

The graphics for this view of the Storforsen rapids were modified from a photograph by Emil Persson, aka Humus. The photographer's Web site is www.humus.name. The graphics are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

3D Scenes: Learn WebGL Book 3

3D Scenes: Learn WebGL Book 3 explains how to display background environments with a very simple cube technique. Learn how to render scenes with the most basic shaders and one texture map. This method avoids skyboxes, switching programs, changing textures, and even leaves room in the environment's texture map for other mesh elements. You'll also learn to prepare graphics to work with the code, for efficient 3D backdrops.

Simple Scenes

The simple scenes, described in this book, use a unique, fast method to display 3D environments with WebGL. Learn how to prepare, load, initialize, and display backgrounds which apply a texture from an image file, to the inside of a cube. View the environment from the center of the cube. The streamlined technique allows code to run well on WebGL enabled mobile devices and Web browsers including Android, iPhone and PCs.

The first scene displays a grid with labeled walls, for help during development. Scenes also include a 3D art gallery, a modified photograph of the Storforsen rapids, and a cheerful 3D rendered island scene surrounded by ocean.
