Three.js Development

Build high-performance 3D web applications using Three.js - a cross-browser WebGL/WebGPU library.

When to Use This Skill

Use when working with:

  • 3D scenes, models, animations, or visualizations
  • WebGL/WebGPU rendering and graphics programming
  • Interactive 3D experiences (games, configurators, data viz)
  • Camera controls, lighting, materials, or shaders
  • Loading 3D assets (GLTF, FBX, OBJ) or textures
  • Post-processing effects (bloom, depth of field, SSAO)
  • Physics simulations, VR/XR experiences, or spatial audio
  • Performance optimization (instancing, LOD, frustum culling)

Progressive Learning Path

Quick Start Pattern

// 1. Scene, Camera, Renderer
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth/window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000);
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
document.body.appendChild(renderer.domElement);

// 2. Add Objects
const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry();
const material = new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x00ff00 });
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
scene.add(cube);

// 3. Add Lights
const light = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 1);
light.position.set(5, 5, 5);
scene.add(light);
scene.add(new THREE.AmbientLight(0x404040));

// 4. Animation Loop
function animate() {
  requestAnimationFrame(animate);
  cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
  cube.rotation.y += 0.01;
  renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
animate();
