Looking Outwards 05: 3D Computer Graphics
https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_animation_keyframes
For this project, I want to discuss a Javascript library called three.js and projects that use this library to create short animatics, motion experiments and virtual worlds. Three.js is a cross-browser JavaScript library and application programming interface used to create and display animated 3D computer graphics in a web browser using WebGL. This project by Glenn Fox, is a model of a unit of buildings, shops and culture in Tokyo. Fox’s body of work that shows caricature of the build environment. 3D computer graphics have particular file types like .obj that can be created with code. Algorithms are used to create generic shapes that make up the building blocks of the rendered image. A lot of Fox’s work is used in Game Design environments.
