Did you disable WebGL?

For most users WebGL is on by default. You may have disabled WebGL by accident. Follow the steps for your browser to make sure WebGL is enabled.

After you verify that WebGL is turned on, then quit the browser, relaunch, and reopen the page with 3D Showcase.

Chrome	Type chrome://settings into the omnibar. Press Enter. Search for hardware acceleration and enable it. Optional: Go to chrome://flags and enable "WebGL Draft Extensions" and "WebGL 2.0 Prototype". (Not necessary for most users).
Safari	In the top menu bar, go to Safari > Preferences > Security In "Web content" section check the Allow WebGL box Refresh the page with 3D Showcase. If you have Safari 11 or newer, when you visit a website that requires WebGL for the first time, you should be asked if you want to trust it. More info, please see Apple's help page.
Firefox	Type about:config into the URL bar. Press Enter. Search for webgl.disabled Double click to make sure it is set to false
Opera	Go to about:config In the search bar, search for the term "hardware" Make sure the "Use hardware acceleration when available" checkbox is checked
