Very nice! The texturing and lighting are what really makes this demo. Unfortunately, it only displays correctly for me in Firefox Developer Edition, not FF 33.0, in which the picture is skewed: http://i.imgur.com/7i74m36.jpg.

If you're into tiny cube-based 3D engines also have a look at this demo for the Lobster programming language (http://strlen.com/lobster): http://i.imgur.com/ZZWFkXn.jpg. Its entire source code fits in the screenshot.




"tiny cube-based" -- is that the same as "voxel based"?


I'd say it depends on context. Historically, voxels have been analogous to pixels. This has been somewhat blurred by Minecraft, and the widespread reporting on and discussion of it.

At first, the cubes in Minecraft are analogous to tiles (as in the tiled backgrounds or maps of 2D games), but when you use them to build models and things, then they become like large voxels.


FWIW,

Firefox 33.1 (Mac) seems to work fine....


Dagnabbit. 33.1.1 not working for me. Chrome works. (OSX 10.9.5)


FF 33.1.1 on OSX 10.10.1 works fine for me.


Both 33.1 and 33.1.1 (noticed updated when I went to about) on OSX 10.10.1 were skewed for me


FF 33.1 on Windows 8.1 isn't working for me either.
