As someone with 20+ years experience in games/virtual world development, this is all *excellent* advice- especially the part about not jumping straight into ThreeJS until you've built up some experience with 3d tools first. I also love that you mention being careful about who you work for / with- that can make a huge difference, especially in one's early career. Really excellent content as always.
I agree with your take on learning Blender or something first. As I started learning 3JS, I noticed how I was just writing what the GUI was providing for me. That also helped me understand how I would make the GUI myself were I so inclined (and insane). Certainly that lesson made the other 3JS stuff learned stick better.
I appreciate the info, but my favorite part is that you talked about teaching others, you my friend have gained the answer of this random internet user
Hi! I loved your video. I'm interested in creating interactive websites. So, can I think of it this way? That the flashy websites on the internet usually create 3D objects and animations through Blender, and then Three.js simply serves to bring those Blender files to the web? I’ve been trying to create objects with Three.js, but I feel like I’m not at the level to make the fancy things I want. Then I discovered Blender, which seems relatively easier for completing the results I want. Also, you mentioned that shaders are important-does that mean I need to be skilled in working with shaders in Three.js?
Yea I am currently learning three js from bruno Simon course and I am using typescript to make my 3d project morever he also covered the three js X react js using R3F.
A bit if a late reply but just follow tutorials until you get a grasp of the controls, and then start modeling on your own, they’ll be stuff you won’t know how to do but you can research them, and with enough time you’ll become proficient
No. While you can use them to do that, what I meant was that it's going to give you a better understanding of how shaders work. Which is really important.
If you would prefer to use CPP/C in the browser try wasm w/ ecmasscripten. Otherwise learn webgl (an OpenGL-ES) to the point Where you understand the basics of the API and then Basically just is a JS framework like three.js. learning JS shouldn't be something that would take you longer than a week.
@@jaymesc4436 thank you for replying, can u help me with this thing. I learned JS but whenever I try to make something without taking any reference my brain goes blank, I keep reading the same stuff but not helping, is their a way to overcome this.
I’m new to three js. I have baught the course but besides that everything on UA-cam particularly seems really outdated. I see videos about three but it’s at minimum 2 years old.
Actually the api is pretty stable and not much has changed.... ( it'll change very soon tho bcz of WebGPU ) Also... find better videos... Alsooo ... watch my videos 😌
I am MERN stack developer and now exploring the Threejs. Learn blender seems dunting to me 😅 Do you still believe i should start from blender or cover theory of the topics you mentioned in your video would be enough to get started from point 2
I am coming along the journey with you. However, I have one question. Isn't 90% of the work all about the blender 3d model that you start with? Sure shaders are super important but you can do 90% of what you want with a good 3d model and basic 3js skills. I am only 40% into Bruno's course and this is the impression that I got.
Depends on what you wanna do. so that's the question to ask yourself. What do you want to do ? if you want to create a portfolio like the one that bruno created, then the models and prebaked textures play a big role if you want to create an interactive website with tons of visual effects, shaders are going to be handy if you want to create complex games all of the above will be important, aaaand you also need to be able to write algorithms with JS Shaders will give you the ability to create real time materials... This means that if you do this well you'll be able to create real-time effects that would be impossible to create with prebaked textures if you want to create an ecommerce website with Three.js then prebaked textures can actually play a huge role because you might care about good performance so first, you should ask yourself, what do I want to do.
My biggest reason is that It reduces portability. I might not be able to use R3F in my other projects. I am also not in favour of installing a UI library to make a web game or experience.
@@amirkakavand1019 TBH for me it's easier to understand what's happening when I'm not mixing a UI framework with a 3D framework. It's a little bit more organized and clean for me at least.
@@visionary_3_dThanks a lot for all those useful tips. As someone coming from game engines (and also a react dev in my day-to-day job), developing my engine would be my preferred route too. Could you please expand a little on how one would build a game engine out of a renderer such as threejs ? More specifically, I was thinking about using 3D objects's userData to maintain a reference to model entities, in order to separate simulation from rendering... Would you consider it a good practice? Is there a better option?
Hey Arya, I started with Bruno's course but haven't made something of my own till now. I have just started with shaders lesson. I feel like before starting with shaders I should make one or two projects with what I've learnt. The thing is I know nothing about react. Should I learn react before r3f? Also please share some resources to learn r3f from youtube. Thanks!
Yes. Definitely practice along the way. Create your own projects. Don't learn too many things at once. You can learn react later if you want. React is complicated on its own and yes, you need to know react before you learn r3f.
Hello! I want your advice. Where to start diving into three js? I want to study this direction as deeply as possible. At the moment my skills are html, css, react, typescript.
It's hard to continue from this point without having clear direction. Take some time to see what you'd like to do in the future ( researching other people's projects can help ) and set some goals. This is quite important because if you try to reach everybody with your portfolio you'll reach nobody.
Mainly 3D Web Dev. But learning 3D, will help you in any 3D Graphics industry you can think of. Game dev ( Unreal, Unity ), Metaverse projects, Vr and Ar projects, etc...
That's exactly what I did. I started with this video : ua-cam.com/video/fdtqqyeKRJk/v-deo.html It's two years old so you might be able to find newer tutorials
Bro, not to sound offensive but you're giving garbage advice. Why? When is the last time you saw a job ad for a "threejs developer"? Name at least 5. Threejs is just a tool for adding 3d to your website, nothing more. A usefull tool but not enough to create an industry need. If you're after money, frameworks like React, Vue or Angular, now that's where the money is at. If you wanna do 3d, your best bet is to stick to unity, unreal or godot. Don't use tools, use frameworks my dude

The answer to all of your questions is yes, for most people!
Thank you for hard work. I have a quick question, is possible use Three Js with Next Js or React with typescript? Regards!
Yes you can use the wrapper "react-three/fiber" which allows you to create a three.js 3d environment inside your react/next js project.
thanks!@@malikusman1961
Yea I am currently learning three js from bruno Simon course and I am using typescript to make my 3d project morever he also covered the three js X react js using R3F.
Where is the best place to learn Blender? Do you have some recomendations? Amazing video and thanks for sharing your knowledge🙏
Yes! Blender Guru's Donut tutorial series is the best place to start.
Just search it on UA-cam. It's free!
A bit if a late reply but just follow tutorials until you get a grasp of the controls, and then start modeling on your own, they’ll be stuff you won’t know how to do but you can research them, and with enough time you’ll become proficient
Why do you suggest working with blender nodes? Is it specifically to build models to import into threejs?
No. While you can use them to do that, what I meant was that it's going to give you a better understanding of how shaders work. Which is really important.
@@visionary_3_dno they won't its a waste of time in comparison to so many other things people can learn
@@Andrew-qc8jh Give me a few examples.

Mainly things you can do with 3D Graphics. (Anything that has to do with real-time 3D rendering)
E-commerce, unique 3d interactions, web games, etc...
Thanks for the video and please get an anti-pop filter for that mic 😭

so first, you should ask yourself, what do I want to do.
i have lots of experience with VRML 2 and X3D and loads of javascript - will that help, or hurt me learning Three.js?
why do you not use react-three-fiber in your projects? whats the advantage or benefits of using three.js to build a site vs R3F ?
My biggest reason is that It reduces portability.
I might not be able to use R3F in my other projects.
I am also not in favour of installing a UI library to make a web game or experience.
Great tutorial 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the good video. You said you don't use R3F, now I wonder what you use yourself? Is it vanilla three.js or something else?
Yes, it’s js only ( ts )
@@visionary_3_d may I know why? Could it possibly be because you have more control with raw three.js?

Muchas thanksyou para ti
Can you insert complex textures to 3js , 3js seem messed up on my own perspective
They should rethink how they build it.
do you take online private classes to teach blender and threejs ?
At this moment no. My tutorials is pretty much all you have 🙃
Hello world!
Have you dropped the course yet?
Can we not simply import scenes from blender to Three.js, instead of coding 3D scenes?
There are some tools that do that to some extent but ultimately if you want control and consistency you need to write code.
I'm currently at level 4, but don't know what to create
It's hard to continue from this point without having clear direction.
Take some time to see what you'd like to do in the future ( researching other people's projects can help ) and set some goals.
This is quite important because if you try to reach everybody with your portfolio you'll reach nobody.
