Basics of three.js

  • Scene
  • Objects (Meshes with Materials, Lights, Groups)
  • Camera (Perspective, Orthographic)
  • Renderer (CanvasRenderer, WebGLRenderer, SVGRenderer, SoftwareRenderer)
var scene = new THREE.Scene();
var object = new THREE.Object();
var aspect = window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight;
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 75, aspect, 0.1, 1000 );
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();

scene.add( object );

renderer.render( scene, camera );

Working with the CSS3DRenderer

  • include three.js

  • include CSS3DRenderer

  • create/get some dom elements

  • wrap them in CSS3DObjects or CSS3DSprites

  • add to scene

  • add animation or interactivity

  1. Lightweight

  2. DOM Elements

  3. No Materials / Shaders / Meshes

  4. CSS-able

  5. Use DOM event handlers
