A PLACE TO EXPERIMENT
Change a little.
See what happens.
Small experiments in waves, motion and chaos. Turn a dial, move things around, and peek under the hood.
Sunset ocean
Ready to launchTHE OPEN WATER EXPERIMENT
An ocean, in your browser.
Launch the original WebGPU ocean renderer, then explore its camera and settings. It loads only when you ask.
Try the lighter ripple tank instead →WebGPU support required. Start with Balanced quality; recent desktop Chrome or Edge works best.
Choose a scene or launch the ocean.

PEEK UNDER THE HOOD
A simulation is a loop.
Input changes the state. A small time step advances the model. The renderer draws the result. Repeat.
