troika VS three.js

troika (specifically troika-three-text)

Text is relatively hard to render with WebGL and browsers have a limit, of usually 16 framebuffers that you can use for WebGL contexts. Our charts are written for a WebGL target so we don't want to use up that precious resource for text rendering. In our specific use case we usually have a large degree of control over the browser so we can configure it, but if the target is web we don't have that control. Grabbing a WebGL context also takes a significant period of time, usually a hundred milliseconds or more on my computer, and not displaying data in that time isn't a great user experience.

There's a great WebGL library for doing that on the web using any .ttf, .otf, or .woff font - https://github.com/protectwise/troika/tree/master/packages/t...

Regarding the optimization of the effect, I found an issue on the three.js GitHub repository: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/issues/14104 The alpha channel issue seems to be a difficult problem, which has been present since 2018. At the end of the discussion, a solution proposed by a contributor is not to modify the UnrealBloomPass but to blend the source texture and target texture in the shader.

Here's how we used Three.js to place and find affirmations in the sky.

Three.js is dedicated to generating 3D visuals, offering a powerful suite of features and tools. It is built atop WebGL and optimizes GPU usage for rapid rendering, ensuring smooth performance across devices, including those with limited resources. Three.js's versatility allows for the creation of a vast spectrum of 3D graphics and animations, ranging from simple shapes to intricate models.

7. three.js

Most of frontend libraries are made with Vanilla JS. An example of library that you might frequently use is "Chart.js". But React is not compatible with Chart.js so here it comes "React-chartjs-2" A wrapper library to work with Chart.js in React ecosystem. Oh you want to use "three.js" for some cool 3D? you will need "React-three/fiber". In my case, I need to implement "telegram-web-app", not so fast, I have to create my own wrapper to be able to use it.

For one of my 100-Day Challenges, I chose to dive into Three.js, a JavaScript 3D library. It's easy to start learning, and it becomes difficult to master with the inclusion of shaders.

Nonetheless, it offers nearly infinite possibilities. You can code and create anything, from a mobile app with React Native to a desktop application with Electron.js. Furthermore, JavaScript provides excellent frameworks and libraries that can be applied in various approaches, such as React, Three, Vue, Meteor, and Astro.
