Learn Threejs - Program 3D animations and visualizations for the web with JavaScript and WebGL

Jos Dirksen

Sinossi

Three.js has become the industry standard for creating stunning 3D WebGL content. In this edition, you’ll learn about all the features of Three.js and understand how to integrate it with the newest physics engines. You'll also develop a strong grip on creating and animating immersive 3D scenes directly in your browser, reaping the full potential of WebGL and modern browsers.The book starts with the basic concepts and building blocks used in Three.js and helps you explore these essential topics in detail through extensive examples and code samples. You'll learn how to create realistic-looking 3D objects using textures and materials and how to load existing models from an external source. Next, you'll understand how to control the camera using the Three.js built-in camera controls, which will enable you to fly or walk around the 3D scene you've created. Later chapters will cover the use of HTML5 video and canvas elements as materials for your 3D objects to animate your models. You’ll learn how to use morph targets and skeleton-based animation, before understanding how to add physics, such as gravity and collision detection, to your scene. Finally, you’ll master combining Blender with Three.js and creating VR and AR scenes.By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to create 3D-animated graphics using Three.js.

Dopamine and the Brain Chemicals...

Scientific Horizons

You keep hearing that dopamine runs your life, that cortisol is ruining your sleep, and that a weekend without your phone will reset your brain. Some of it sounds right, some of it sounds like marketing, and you would like to know which is which.

This audiobook gives you one brain chemical per short chapter, sized for a commute. You meet dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, cortisol, oxytocin, endorphins, melatonin and testosterone through vivid everyday analogies and plain-English science, with no jargon to wade through. Each chapter ends with a calm look at what researchers actually know and what they still don't, so popular overclaims like the dopamine detox get a fair, clear-eyed test.

By the end, you can hear a headline about motivation or mood and judge it for yourself. You understand the molecules behind your drive, your stress and your sleep well enough to explain them to a friend. Press play on your next drive and start with dopamine.
