Download PDF Learning Three.js: The JavaScript 3D Library for WebGL Create and animate stunning 3D graphics using the open source Three.js JavaScript library by Jos Dirksen

Sinopsis

Modern browsers are slowly getting more powerful features that can be accessed directly from JavaScript. You can easily add video and audio with the new HTML5 tags and create interactive components through the use of the HTML5 canvas. A rather new addition to this feature set is the support of WebGL. With WebGL you can directly make use of the processing resources of your graphics card and create high-performance 2D and 3D computer graphics. Programming WebGL directly from JavaScript to create and animate 3D scenes is a very complex and error-prone process. Three.js is a library that makes this a lot easier. The following list shows some of the things that Three.js makes easy:

• Creating simple and complex 3D geometries
• Animating and moving objects through a 3D scene
• Applying textures and materials to your objects
• Loading objects from 3D modeling software
• Creating 2D sprite-based graphics
