Description

Three.js has become the industry standard for creating stunning 3D WebGL content. In this edition, you’ll learn about all the features of Three.js and understand how to integrate it with the newest physics engines. You'll also develop a strong grip on creating and animating immersive 3D scenes directly in your browser, reaping the full potential of WebGL and modern browsers. The book starts with the basic concepts and building blocks used in Three.js and helps you explore these essential topics in detail through extensive examples and code samples. You'll learn how to create realistic-looking 3D objects using textures and materials and how to load existing models from an external source. Next, you'll understand how to control the camera using the Three.js built-in camera controls, which will enable you to fly or walk around the 3D scene you've created. Later chapters will cover the use of HTML5 video and canvas elements as materials for your 3D objects to animate your models. You’ll learn how to use morph targets and skeleton-based animation, before understanding how to add physics, such as gravity and collision detection, to your scene. Finally, you’ll master combining Blender with Three.js and creating VR and AR scenes. By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to create 3D-animated graphics using Three.js.

What you will learn

Implement the different camera controls provided by Three.js to navigate your 3D scene

The book serves as an excellent introduction to Three JS, a rapidly growing package that has become increasingly popular for its ability to create stunning 3D experiences on the web. The author has done an impressive job of providing a comprehensive guide that covers all the necessary fundamentals, while still managing to be concise and engaging.If you purchase the physical copy then the inclusion of a free PDF makes it incredibly easy to follow along with the code examples provided. Moreover, the code is also available on the author's Github account for easy access.My only minor concern is that the package has undergone some changes in recent years and thus I have reason to believe it will continue to evolve in the near future, so it would be great if the author could continue updating the book to keep up with these changes. Nonetheless, this book serves as an excellent starting point for anyone looking to learn Three JS, and I highly recommend it.
