Three.js Crash Course for Absolute Beginners - 3D in the Browser

description
https://skl.sh/designcourse21 - First 500 people to sign up will get their first 2 months free! https://designcourse.com - Learn UI/UX from Scratch with my new service (coming soon) -- Today, we're going to take a look at Three.js from a beginner's perspective. Three.js is a JavaScript library for creating immersive 3D graphics in the browser. In this crash course, you will learn: - How to setup a scene, renderer and camera - How to add 3D primitives - How to position, rotate and scale them. - Using GSAP Timeline to animate 3D objects - Using the raytracer to interact with 3D objects ...and more. Here is the codepen for this tutorial: https://codepen.io/designcourse/pen/bZYVVx Enjoy! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe for NEW VIDEOS!
