So I had my first stride into three.js recently. I had wanted to try a graphic library of javascript for sometime, and I had in my mind to try either d3.js or three.js. It was not until I listened to Scott Hanselman’s discussion with Ada Rose Edwards with regard to WebVR where I took that interest seriously.
three.js is a javascript library that uses WebGL to display 3D graphics. If one has done any work in the field of 3D modelling, picking up three.js should be only a gentle incline. There are familiar concepts such as geometry (cube, cylinder, sphere, etc), material (basic, lambert, phong, etc), texture (to be applied to materials) and a mesh (combining a geometry and a material)
Over the next few weeks, I will write about the quirks I have learnt from three.js. But here is what I have learnt and made in two weeks link.
There is no tutorial, because it takes time to write + code the logic for tutorial. WASD to move around, W|A|S|D + L for dodge roll. J + J etc … for attack.
Currently, W|A|S|D + J freezes the game, for reasons I might explore in the future.
