The Beginner's Guide to three.js

Hey everyone,

I thought you might like this beginners guide to three.js that I wrote for the Treehouse blog.

the Treehouse logo in 3D

If you're using the desktop version of Chrome or Firefox you can see the demo of the Treehouse logo in 3D. With a bit more configuration, you can also see it in the desktop version of Safari (which I describe in the article).

WebGL and three.js are pretty cool! I'm still learning how to use them and figuring out some practical use cases.

Hello,

I just attempted to to do this tutorial by downloading the latest buildof threeJS from their githib. I kept getting an error with OrbitControls.js (at line 114 - function is undefined) no matter what I did i couldn't get it to work, then I wondered if there might have been some updates to3js that made this not work so I downloaded the code straight from the page and used the older version of OrbitControls.js and it worked, I then tried to see what the differences where but there were several lines of code changed. Could anyone give me a hint as to what was changed and how to make this tutorial work with the latest build of three.js?

overall a really awesome tutorial thanks Nick
