If you know JavaScript and want to start creating 3D graphics that run in any browser, this book is a great choice for you. You don't need to know anything about math or WebGL; all that you need is general knowledge of JavaScript and HTML.

Create stunning 3D graphics in your browser using the Three.js JavaScript library

About This Book

Enhance your 3D graphics with light sources, shadows, advanced materials, and textures
Load models from external sources, and visualize and animate them directly from JavaScript
Each subject is explained using extensive examples that you can use directly and adapt for your own purposes

What You Will Learn

Use the different geometries that are provided by Three.js
Apply realistic lighting and shadows to the 3D objects you have created
Use the different camera controls provided by Three.js to effortlessly navigate around your 3D scene
Make use of advanced textures on materials to create realistic-looking 3D objects by using bump maps, normal maps, specular maps, and light maps
Import and animate models from external formats, such as OBJ, STL, Collada, and many more
Create and run animations using morph targets and bone animations
Explore the Physijs JavaScript library to apply physics to your 3D objects
Interact directly with WebGL by creating custom vertex and fragment shaders

In Detail

Modern browsers support WebGL, which makes it possible to create 3D graphics in a browser without having to use plugins such as Flash and Java. Programming WebGL, however, is difficult, complex, and very difficult to debug. With Three.js, it is possible to create stunning 3D graphics in an intuitive manner using JavaScript, without the need to know the details of WebGL.

Learning Three.js – the JavaScript 3D Library for WebGL, Second Edition, is a practical, example-rich book that will help you learn about all the features of Three.js. This book will show you how to create or load models from externally created models and realistic-looking 3D objects using materials and textures. You'll also learn how to use the HTML5 video and canvas elements as a material for your 3D objects, different ways of animating your models, skeleton-based animation, and how to add physics such as gravity and collision detection to your scene. By the end of the book, you'll know everything that is required to create 3D animated graphics that run in any browser using Three.js.


PS : If You got an error while extracting while others are working try diferent directory path in your PC. Somtimes if you got a long directory path while extracting it will giv you an error. To solve this issue , as an example just paste the tgz file in C drive and extract (just inside the C drive not with in any other folder). Hope your Understand
