KWJavaScript - Intro to 3D Web Graphics & Animation with Three.js

Ivan Nimets is joining us this month to present about his experience with Three.js, a JavaScript library for creating 3D graphics for the web. Ivan should be a familiar face to anyone that has attended our meetups, and we look forward to hearing about his journey into 3D. See more information about Ivan's presentation below.

In this beginner-friendly session, we'll take a first look at 3D modeling and explore the history of 3D technology in web development. You'll be introduced to Three.js - a powerful JavaScript library that makes it easy to build 3D experiences directly in the browser. We'll showcase real-world projects built with Three.js and share useful resources to help you get started.

The talk will also cover:
- An overview of what Three.js is and which problems it solves
- How to integrate Three.js into your web project
- Basic components including Scene, Camera, Renderer, Light, Mesh
- Code walkthrough of a simple 3D project with animations

Whether you're a frontend developer, a creative coder, or just curious about 3D on the web, this session will give you a solid starting point.
