Your verdict:

The three.js examples page is the official gallery for the three.js 3D library. When you arrive, you see a grid of thumbnails, and clicking one runs a live demo covering lighting, physics, shaders and more. It is a handy tour of what is possible in a browser without plugins, and a lot of fun if you like watching 3D scenes spin. The demos vary from simple geometry to complex scenes, so you can see the range of what the library can do. Developers use it to find code to borrow; everyone else can treat it as a playground. Some demos are heavy and may run slowly on older devices, so try a few and see. Start with something visual like a scene with reflections, then work through the list. It also works on phones, though some demos are better on a larger screen. A bottomless tab-opener for curious people.

Tips for getting the most out of it

  • Open a few in new tabs and compare.
  • Heavy demos may be slow on older devices.
  • Developers: view source for each example.
