CGPAD - Computer Graphics with Source Code

Source code tells us everything Fractal Art, Partical Systems, Ray Tracing/Marching, Fluid Dynamics, Physically Based Rendering ••• Online CG Programming Tools & Source Packs

Original & Unique CG Programs

with Beautifully Formatted and Well-documented Source Code

Learn Computer Graphics
from Real Source Code

The most efficient way of learning CG programming is though real source code. Every program we developed is original, well-documented and self-explaining. We also tried our best to keep all the programs neat and simple. For example, to render a typical 2D fractal art image only takes around 20+ lines of code.

Online Programming and Rendering

By using our free web-based renderer, we can run all the programs online. You dont't have to install a lot of software and get stuck in the license problem or complex settings.

Simple Languages

Only GLSL/WGSL and a little JS are required to understand all the programs in our source packs. These languages are easy to get started for everyone.

Embedded Tutorials

We organize all the extra knowledge systematically as embedded tutorials. For example, all the fractal art source packs are binded with a detailed fractal art programming tutorial.

Lands is developed by CGPAD. It's an online platform for integrated development and computing of graphics. By writing codes, creativity and ideas can be accurately expressed, and computational visual art creation can be carried out. Lands supports both 2D and 3D canvas rendering, not only can render static images, but also can easily render animations. Following is a list of rendering modes Lands supports:

• Raw Canvas
• 2D Canvas
• WebGL 3D Canvas
• 2D Pixel Shader
• WebGL Fragment Shader
• WebGPU Compute Shading
