If I wanted to make a simulated boids experiment in either of the technologies, what limitations would I be under.<\/p>\n

For example I have a boids simulation working in canvas with 100,000 particles but I am unable to work with a million as the browser crashes. This may be possible in WebGL with hardware acceleration.<\/p>\n

So what limitations do these 2 technologies have with complex scenes?<\/p>\n

    The limitations of the graphics card apply to WebGL as well of course, there is little a browser can do to compensate those. For example, I noticed that WebGL samples with the texture size 4000×4000 don’t work with my (on-board) graphics chip. Animating a large number of objects will likely overburden low-end graphics cards as well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
