Introduction to 3D on the Web
3D on the web opens new possibilities for web design, moving beyond traditional 2D interfaces. The entry barrier for creating 3D experiences has lowered significantly, thanks to various abstractions and libraries like 3JS, which simplify the process of building and rendering 3D elements. Learning resources, such as the 3DS Journey course by Bruno Simon, have also contributed to this increased accessibility. Many developers are now exploring the potential of 3D, with tools that make creating interactive graphics and immersive environments straightforward.
