About this course
In this course, you will learn how to create and animate immersive 3D scenes in your browser using the full potential of WebGL and modern browsers.
This course equips you with the basic concepts and building blocks of Three.js and helps you learn how to create realistic-looking 3D objects using textures and materials. You will learn how to create these objects manually and load existing models from an external source. You will learn to control the camera using the Three.js built-in camera controls, enabling you to fly or walk around the 3D scene you created. As you progress through the course, you will discover how to use HTML5 video and canvas elements as materials for your 3D objects, enabling dynamic animations. Additionally, you will delve into morph and skeleton-based animation techniques and understand how to incorporate physics, including gravity and collision detection, into your scenes.
Finally, you will learn to seamlessly integrate Blender with Three.js, explore the integration of Three.js with React and TypeScript, and extend your skills to create VR and AR scenes. By the end of this course, you can create 3D-animated graphics using Three.js in any JavaScript project.
