  • three.js

    JavaScript 3D Library.

    Project mention: React + Three.js. Creating your own 3D shooter. Part 1 | dev.to | 2023-10-02

    In modern web development, the boundaries between classic and web applications are blurring every day. Today we can create not only interactive websites, but also full-fledged games right in the browser. One of the tools that makes this possible is the React Three Fiber library - a powerful tool for creating 3D graphics based on Three.js using React technology.

  • react-three-fiber

    🇨🇭 A React renderer for Three.js

    Project mention: 3JS Job Market | /r/threejs | 2023-06-05

    this is perfect then. a large part of the threejs userbase is using https://github.com/pmndrs/react-three-fiber (roughly 1/4, and growing) and this is also where you find lots of job opportunities. fiber has a vast eco system, but if you can pair this with your knowledge of shaders you'll find a job tomorrow if you wanted.

    If anyone is really interested in graphics I would also recommend TinyRenderer

    https://github.com/ssloy/tinyrenderer/wiki

    This one is a CPU-based rasterizing renderer

    Its good if you want to get a good understanding of what a GPU does underneath

  • 3d-game-shaders-for-beginners

    🎮 A step-by-step guide to implementing SSAO, depth of field, lighting, normal mapping, and more for your 3D game.

    Project mention: Random Code Inspiration Volume 2 | dev.to | 2023-10-01
  • A-Frame

    :a: Web framework for building virtual reality experiences.

    Project mention: The Future of Node.js in Virtual and Augmented Reality Development | dev.to | 2023-07-19

    Traditionally, VR and AR development involved complex frameworks and languages, but Node.js brings a fresh approach to the table. Its familiarity with JavaScript allows developers to write code for VR and AR applications with ease. By utilizing libraries like A-Frame for VR and AR.js for AR, developers can create immersive experiences directly in the browser using Node.js. This seamless integration opens up opportunities for a wider range of developers to enter the VR and AR landscape.

    Project mention: I fully support this. | /r/KerbalSpaceProgram | 2023-06-24

    Please try looking through some large open source projects and contributing major contributions by familiarizing yourself with the code base, learning multiple programming languages, and not having major bugs in your code. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to do this.

  • Open3D

    Project mention: NumPy issues | /r/blender | 2023-09-27

    I'm running Linux. I've already tried to run sudo apt -y install python3-numpy as suggested here and tried to install numpy using blender's python console and import pip pip.main.... it's saying everything is installed, but I still cannot enable addon either run import numpy in console. Please ask me if you need more technical details.

  • Fyrox

  • model-viewer

    Easily display interactive 3D models on the web and in AR!

    Project mention: Time estimate from a pro | /r/threejs | 2023-06-07

    That said, maybe in your case, if it's a really minimal 3D viewer, it could be that the modelviewer.dev could what you need. You can use it like any other html element and just link it to a 3D model you export from blender as a .glb file. I think it also allows you to add labels.

  • openscad

    OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller

    Project mention: PSA: Try manifold and report bugs! | /r/openscad | 2023-09-05

    Short edges (e.g. due to very high $fn) can cause bug in the triangulator, there is a fix for this but is not ready for merging. (https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4679)

  • vanta

    Animated 3D backgrounds for your website

    Project mention: Seeking Guidance and Implementation Tips for Vanta.js-like Effects in Flutter | /r/flutterhelp | 2023-06-01

    Looking that the source code, it seems that these are implemented using shaders. Those are a new thing in Flutter, so I'd try to go that road. You probably need a CustomPaint with a CustomPainter, painting a Rect with a Paint using that Shader, feeding it all input parameters. I've absolutely no experience with shaders in Flutter, but that's what I'd try for something simple like the fog. For the birds, you'd probably need to implement a lot of 3D geometry yourself.

  • tinyraytracer

    A brief computer graphics / rendering course

    Project mention: What are the best textbooks/resources for learning graphics programming practically in 2023? | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-07-06

    Tiny raytracer and the related tiny series are pretty good implementations of certain popular rendering techniques, without the use of an API.
