Curated community resources
Quick answer
This tutorial is an annotated index of three.js learning resources rather than a coding walkthrough. It orders official docs, the examples gallery, examples/jsm modules, the Migration Guide and ecosystem projects such as 3DTilesRendererJS, stats.js, react-three-fiber and three-stdlib by the problem each solves. It ends with three tests for spotting an outdated article: a stated 0.1xx version, a recent date, and no removed APIs. Readers can find authoritative answers faster and judge compatibility before copying code.
Key points
- Check the official examples gallery before searching forums for a specific effect.
- Read the Migration Guide when colors or lighting change after a version upgrade.
- Reject tutorials that use outputEncoding, sRGBEncoding or useLegacyLights.
Example
npm view three version
npm view three time.modified
npm view three dist-tagsNotes
- Posts without a stated 0.1xx version cannot be trusted for current API behavior.
- Rebuilding materials each frame causes GC stalls, so measure with stats.js first.
