This Three.js training course is built for developers who want to move beyond flat interfaces into immersive, three-dimensional web experiences. You’ll work with the current Three.js r180+ architecture, including the WebGPURenderer and Three Shading Language (TSL), while mastering core concepts such as scenes, cameras, lighting, and animation. Guided labs and a capstone project ensure you leave with a deployable 3D portfolio piece, not just theory.
Prerequisites
There are no strict entry barriers, but the following background will help you get the most out of the program:
- Basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (ES6+)
- Familiarity with browser developer tools
- Basic knowledge of vectors and matrices is helpful, though not mandatory
- A code editor (VS Code recommended) and a modern browser that supports WebGPU (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari 26+)
- A laptop or desktop with a dedicated or integrated GPU for smoother rendering during labs
Course Objectives
- Understand the Three.js scene graph, cameras, and rendering pipeline
- Build and texture 3D geometries, from primitives to imported models
- Implement lighting, shadows, and physically based (PBR) materials
- Animate objects and camera movement using the built-in animation system
- Work hands-on with the WebGPURenderer and Three Shading Language (TSL)
- Optimize scenes for performance across desktop and mobile browsers
- Integrate Three.js with React using React Three Fiber
- Deploy production-ready 3D web applications and portfolio projects
What You Will Learn
Learn Three.js from the ground up, from core rendering fundamentals to advanced, GPU-accelerated workflows:
- Setting up a Three.js development environment with Vite and npm
- Scene graph fundamentals: meshes, geometries, and materials
- Camera types and controls (Orbit, Fly, First-Person)
- Lighting models, shadows, and HDRI environment maps
- Loading and optimizing GLTF/GLB models with Draco and Meshopt compression
- Particle systems and compute shaders for large-scale visual effects
- Post-processing effects: bloom, depth of field, and outline passes
- Building WebXR experiences for AR and VR
- Integrating physics engines such as Rapier and Cannon-es
- Deploying and hosting 3D web applications
