WEB GL effects in windows 8 apps

Do all the current WEBgl effects work when exported through a Windows 8 APP/Game?

they won't work as win8 metro export uses ie10 which does not support opengl.

if you export as a desktop app through awesomium opengl should work fine

Thank you for the help. Are there any other restrictions on plug-ins that should not be used when creating a windows 8 app? For example, the Canvas plug-in...

canvas should work fine, but ultimately you will need to test hands on.

i am only using 3 plugins for movement and all work fine on ie10

Do will they implement DirectX Web in the future?

Ask Microsoft to support WebGL; they are holding out from supporting it and it means our WebGL effects can't work. Nobody can be sure if they'll add "WebDX" in future, but it would still be difficult to get our WebGL shaders working with it (they'd all have to be rewritten).

More things IE10 doesn't support: Gamepad, User Media, and some aspects of the Browser object.

Microsoft is insane, well it's only for metro, otherwise Awesomium can use WebGL

Audio playback rate and custom cursors are notable incompatibilities we've run into. Generally everything works very well though.

Aww man, too bad WebGL doesn't work on Win8 games...

Here's the official statement as to why Windows 8 Store apps (which use the same engine as IE10) do not support WebGL...

codefoster: Are you aware that in fact the true reason why they don't support webGL is to keep on working and trying to shove "Silverlight" down internet's throat ?

And that actually SilverLight suffers the very same "security" issues they point out as a reason why to not support WebGL ?

And flash. Why haven't they disabled that?

"The latest FUD is Microsoft?s claim that they won?t support WebGL because it?s insecure. They might have a little more credibility if they weren?t promoting a technology, Silverlight 5, that provides the EXACT SAME FEATURES with all the same issues. They can?t have it both ways. Either it?s possible to make this tech safe or else it?s not. If it is possible to make it safe in Silverlight 5 then it?s also just as possible in WebGL. If it?s not possible to make it safe Microsoft would have to come out and say (1) They are removing GPU access from Silverlight 5. (2) They are banning Unity3D from running in IE since it also provides access to the EXACT SAME FEATURES. (3) They are banning Flash 11 from running in IE since it also provides access to the EXACT SAME FEATURES."

A lot of the issues have also already had solutions found. Even some of microsoft's own employees apparently disagree about not supporting webgl.

Java, Flash, Unity3D and Silverlight can all do what WebGL does in a browser, and Microsoft has only blocked the one that competes with DirectX. So I don't really believe their security argument.
