PusherTech
Technology to Inform & Inspire

About

PusherTech is the informal technology division of the Dunsmuir, CA based creative design agency Pusher, Inc. See our client portfolio for examples of Pusher's work.

Our Objective
PusherTech division is primarily guided by the principles of creating elegant, inspiring, and reusable technologies for design and visualization in 2D and 3D. We strive to build solidly architectured functionality that is both efficient and accessible with intuitive, immediately usable interfaces. For most of our work, Javascript and C++ are the languages of choice.

This Site
The PusherTech site is devoted to sharing experiments, demos, and work-in-progress technologies — i.e. more than just our refined work! The site is intended to be an open space for publishing ideas finding a few unfinished, unpolished pieces is par for the course.

Libraries

pusher.color

A flexible, intuitive Javascript color manipulation library. Manipulate colors in formats such as RGB, RGBA, HSV, HSL, named colors, packed ARGB, floating point. Generate complimentary colors. Modify color components...

Experiments

Land Mass Generator

A Javascript based experiment in procedurally generating and displaying a random large land mass. Includes basic rendering as well as simple view controls.

Ray Tracer: Original

A Javascript based ray tracer supporting some advanced features such as soft shadows and reflections. Not recommended for viewing on your mobile device! This experiment really pushes the computational limit of the browser's Javascript engine.

Ray Tracer: Architecture

A more limited adaptation of the original ray-tracer demo with a far better architected code base.

Perlin Noise

A demonstration of a Perlin noise renderer in the browser.

Ray Tracer: Web Workers / Multi-threaded

A variation of the ray tracer code based using 'web workers' to enable multi-threaded rendering in the browser.

Seamless Brick Texture Generator

An image generator creating seamless brick textures using Perlin noise to create unique color and shape variations.

Sandbox Experiments

Embedding Vimeo videos	A quick test of using the Vimeo oembed 'simple' API.
Simple Squares	A quick demo of an interface for rendering more intuitively to a Javascript Canvas.
WebGL Landscape	A work-in-progress procedural 3D landscape renderer demo
