Three.js Journey - The ultimate Three.js course

Have you ever wanted to create stunning 3D websites? Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced developer, Three.js Journey is the only course you need to learn WebGL with Three.js.

What will you learn?

The course is complete, yet accessible for beginners. We will start by discovering what WebGL is and why using the Three.js library is a must. We will then discover the various components of Three.js and once the basics are acquired, we will move on to more advanced techniques to display millions of particles, add physics, add interactions, create a galaxy, animate a raging sea, etc.

At the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of Three.js and enough experience to start your own projects.

As a bonus, we will also learn how to use the 3D software Blender to be able to create our own models.

Is this course for you?

The course is beginner friendly

You don't need to have done WebGL or Three.js before.

This training is intended for absolute beginners and will explain the basics before tackling more advanced topics.

You don't have to be good at mathemathics.

Yes, we're going to do mathematics, but at a simple level and we will explain how it works with drawings and practice slowly.

You don't need to know how to use 3D software.

Together we will learn the basics of the 3D software Blender to create a model and import it into our scene.

You don't need to be good at JavaScript.

All you need are JavaScript basics like variables, objects, arrays, loops, functions and events. We will learn the rest together.

You don't need a crazy ass computer.

In some lessons, we will tickle performance limits, but we will also learn how to handle and optimize our code to get a good frame rate.

Bruno Simon is a French creative-developer best known for Three.js Journey — the canonical paid course on the Three.js library and one of the most successful independent developer-education products of the last decade. His personal website (bruno-simon.com), a 3D Mario-Kart-style portfolio rendered with Three.js, is widely cited as a benchmark of what's possible with WebGL in the browser.

His CourseFlix listing carries Three.js Journey — The Ultimate Three.js Course. Material is paid and aimed at front-end developers building 3D experiences on the open web rather than in a game engine.
