Threejs-Loading 3D Models

Loading 3D models 3D models are available in hundreds of file formats, each with different purposes, assorted features, and varying complexity. Although three.js provides many loaders, choosing the right format and workflow will save time and frustration later on. Some formats are difficult to work with, inefficient for realtime experiences, or simply not fully supported at… Continue reading Threejs-Loading 3D Models

Positional Audio in ThreeJS

Positional audio is an essential component of immersive 3D experiences, whether in games, virtual reality, or simulations. By attaching audio sources to 3D objects, the sound can be spatially located, meaning that as a user navigates the environment, the sound changes dynamically based on their position and orientation. Three.js simplifies the integration of positional audio… Continue reading Positional Audio in ThreeJS

GSAP in ThreeJS

GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) is a powerful JavaScript library used for creating high-performance animations. When combined with Three.js, GSAP offers a simple and effective way to animate 3D objects, adding dynamic interactions and visual effects to your 3D scenes. Why Use GSAP with Three.js? GSAP excels at tweening, which involves smoothly transitioning object properties over… Continue reading GSAP in ThreeJS

Water in ThreeJS

The Three.js Water addon is a specialized shader that simulates the appearance and behavior of water. It is based on the ShaderMaterial and Reflector classes in Three.js, offering a high degree of realism by combining multiple visual effects: Reflection: The water surface reflects the surrounding environment, creating a mirror-like effect. Refraction: Light passing through the… Continue reading Water in ThreeJS

Creating Smoke Particle System using custom shaders and particle effects in ThreeJS

In this article, we’ll explore how to create a dynamic smoke particle system using Three.js. Particle systems are a common technique used in computer graphics to simulate fuzzy phenomena like fire, smoke, or clouds. We’ll be focusing on smoke, with the flexibility to customize it to your liking. Creating the Shaders: To start, we need… Continue reading Creating Smoke Particle System using custom shaders and particle effects in ThreeJS

Cloud Rendering of Three.js Websites

What is Cloud Rendering? Cloud rendering refers to the process of rendering 3D graphics on a remote server rather than on the client’s device. The rendered images or video streams are then delivered to the client in real-time over the internet. This approach allows users with devices that lack the necessary hardware power to experience… Continue reading Cloud Rendering of Three.js Websites
