Hands-on Three.js 3D Web Visualisations (Udemy.com)

Instructions are easy to follow. Instructor is very knowledgeable, and gives lots of helpful tips along the way. The exercise files are very beneficial. I could play around with .js files and test different things. Overall pace of instructions is also good. I had a reasonable experience with javascript coding, which made things easy for me. But someone with no JS experience could struggle a bit (just something to keep in mind).

There are so many things that I find wrong with this tutorial. Firstly, it should have been taught using a normal text editor. Next, it doesn't fully explain all ways of writing/executing the code. I detest tutorials that don't fully explain WHY things are done a certain way. How do I import custom files? When do I use functions and not? Why/why not? I can copy the code written here and have it work but I am still completely confused about how and why most stuff works the way it does.

i took a lot from this course. i would have liked to have seen a little more information about the animation system, maybe actually using some more of the functions like crossFadeTo etc. GLSL was a bonus i didn't expect to see but i felt it could be omitted in order to concentrate on more specific Three.js topics. it was also really nice to see blender used heavily in some examples as a game dev it helps me understand more about what the artists see/export to me.

This is an excellent course and I learned a lot of useful information from it. I'm confident I now at least know how and where to look to carry on from here. I couldn't quite justify a 5 star rating as it needs some updates. Some of the code pad links are broken, and, though it isn't a blender course, it covers a good bit in blender 2.7, and the current blender 2.8/9 user interface is radically different (in a good way IMHO).

Excellent course. I think you probably should be very familiar with javascript before trying out this course. And if you know another 3d program (like unity or blender), a lot of the concepts will be very familiar. There's a ton of information packed in this course. It's a huge subject to learn, but the author goes through enough of the needed concepts to get you up to speed with three.js, but by no means you'll be an expert after the course. You'll probably need to enforce this with other courses about: GLSL, Blender, Physics for games.

Since I'm a beginner, this really helped show some of the basic capabilities of what can be done with Three.js. I followed most lessons quite well and could understand the bulk of the course. However, there are some problems with the template & the completed script not matching up. For example, this is especially frustrating when I'm following along with the video, typing symbol for symbol in the template and not have the script work in the end. Then, when I compare it with the completed code, there are a couple of lines that were completely different or added/missing in the video or template! This is probably what this course needs work on - updating the videos and these files. Thanks!

Good succinct overview to review concepts and terminology very quickly without being boring. The only negative that I have for this course is that most of the codepen locations have changed, so that really forces you to use the downloaded code instead. Which really isn't much of a problem. Ideally, all of the URLs that are shown in the video would be clickable links below. The instructor is terrific. He keeps things interesting.

The teacher obviously knows hes stuff and gives great examples. The only problem is that he only show examples and barely explains why he is doing something or why he gives certain parameters.. So you know how to replicate hes examples, but you won't learn how to apply it to your own project or learn to understand which methods to use to achieve your own ideas...

One of the best courses on Three.js in Udemy. Nik covers a gamut of topics related to 3D concepts essential to be a skilled 3D programmer, not limiting himself to only three.js features. His style of teaching is engaging and very easy to understand. Totally recommend it.

I had fun taking this course. There was a lot to cover so I feel like a lot of the earlier topics get only very brief explanations to make more room for more of the fun/flashy stuff later on. The section on animations was probably my favorite and paves the way for lots of experimentation with the abundance of resources provided. I found having to hand-type CodePen links to be a bit of a sloppy exchange, and a lot of the links that were supposed to be a "getting started" point for the video were actually already completed. I found the same for a few of the downloadable examples from Github. All-in-all, I found it to be a great starting point for someone who already has an ok grasp of the basics and is looking to jump back in with some fun code-alongs
