The world of web development is rapidly evolving, and with it comes the need for more powerful tools to create rich, immersive experiences. Special effects, once the domain of high-end video games and blockbuster movies, are now becoming essential components of modern web applications. From realistic lighting and shadows to fluid simulations and particle systems, these visual enhancements are pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the web. This book aims to explore how WebGPU, the latest web graphics and compute API, and WGSL (WebGPU Shading Language) can be used to unlock the full potential of the GPU, bringing sophisticated visual effects to the browser with performance levels previously unattainable. Whether you're looking to create stunning 3D animations or achieve high-fidelity rendering in web-based environments, WebGPU offers the tools needed to harness the power of modern hardware for the web. This book is here to help you master the exciting world of effects using WebGPU and WGSL. To take you beyond traditional web technologies towards a realm of advanced graphical techniques. Starting with the basics of WebGPU's architecture and WGSL's syntax, this book gradually builds toward more complex techniques like shader programming, lighting models, and particle systems. Each chapter is accompanied by practical examples that can be directly applied to real-world projects, ensuring that you not only understand the theory but also gain hands-on experience. At the end of this book, you will have the knowledge to create breathtaking visual effects that run efficiently in the browser, transforming the way users interact with your applications.
Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced professional seeking advanced knowledge, this book has something valuable to offer.
