What is Three?

Three.js is an open-source JavaScript library released under the MIT license that abstracts low-level WebGL and WebGPU rendering APIs into a high-level visual programming framework. Created by Ricardo Cabello in 2010, the library enables software developers, digital designers, and data scientists to render real-time 3D animations directly on standard HTML5 canvas elements. The primary purpose of Three.js is to remove graphics configuration friction by handling low-level shader compiling, matrix transformations, and hardware allocation behind clean object-oriented abstractions. The developer provides high-level parameters—such as vector coordinates, light values, and 3D geometry files—and Three.js translates these inputs into fragment and vertex program executions targeting the user device GPU.

How it works

Three.js is an open-source JavaScript library released under the MIT license that abstracts low-level WebGL and WebGPU rendering APIs into a high-level visual programming framework. Created by Ricardo Cabello in 2010, the library enables software developers, digital designers, and data scientists to create interactive 3D experiences, scientific visualizations, and data-driven graphics directly in the browser.
