Who is this for?
The web developer who wants to make games.
You know JavaScript and want to take your first steps into 3D for games and interactive experiences in the browser.
New to Three.js.
Whether you’re new to 3D or coming from tools like Blender, Unity, or Godot, this is a clear, practical place to start.
Ready to build a solid base.
You want strong fundamentals in geometry, materials, lighting, and cameras.
The hands-on learner who learns by building.
You prefer practical recipes over theory, with code you can follow step by step.
What if you could create stunning, interactive 3D experiences with no plugins, no installs, and no complex setup, just the web browser you already have open?
With Three.js, the most widely used JavaScript library for 3D graphics on the web, that’s exactly what you’ll learn to do. The Three.js Cookbook: Essentials is a practical, hands-on guide for JavaScript developers ready to step into the world of 3D.
Instead of one long project, the book is organized as a collection of self-contained recipes. Jump straight to the topic you need, follow the code step by step, and compare your work against a complete version. Along the way, you’ll master the core tools every Three.js developer relies on: scenes, cameras, geometry, materials, lighting, shadows, and more.
Perfect for web developers, creative coders, and game developers alike.
Note: The chapters, descriptions, and main topics listed below are provisional and may be added to, merged, or otherwise modified as the book is being developed. We’ll update this list every time a new chapter is released.
