mrdoob/three.js

This system is a comprehensive 3D graphics library and development environment that provides a modern, node-based shading language (TSL) alongside traditional material and geometry APIs. It supports rendering via both WebGL and WebGPU backends, offering advanced features like clustered lighting, post-processing effects, and physics integration. The codebase also includes a robust editor for scene manipulation, a suite of utility classes for math, animation, and audio, and a collection of examples and assets for testing and demonstration.

This period was defined by a comprehensive refactoring of the codebase to ES6 classes, covering core systems like cameras, lights, materials, and animations. The project also expanded its feature set with new rendering capabilities, texture formats, and an enhanced editor interface, while establishing modern development standards through modular entry points and improved code organization.

42 changes

This period focused on modernizing the codebase by converting legacy code to ES6 modules and TypeScript, particularly for loaders, exporters, and renderers. The team significantly expanded the examples directory with new 3D models, textures, and utility classes, while also introducing WebXR support and advanced physics engine integrations.

51 changes

This period focused on introducing a comprehensive node-based shading language (TSL) and a parallel WebGPU rendering backend alongside the existing WebGL implementation. The work involved building out the entire node architecture, including lighting, materials, and post-processing effects, while also establishing a unified renderer interface for both backends.

45 changes

This period focused on expanding the WebGPU renderer with advanced lighting systems, including clustered and dynamic lighting, alongside a comprehensive set of TSL (Three Shading Language) utilities for shading and effects. The work also introduced a new Inspector tool for debugging and profiling, alongside refactoring loaders and adding procedural generation examples.
