A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

See Three.js and Graphics processing unit

Inverse kinematics

In computer animation and robotics, inverse kinematics is the mathematical process of calculating the variable joint parameters needed to place the end of a kinematic chain, such as a robot manipulator or animation character's skeleton, in a given position and orientation relative to the start of the chain.

See Three.js and JavaScript

JavaScript library

A JavaScript library is a library of pre-written JavaScript code that allows for easier development of JavaScript-based applications, especially for AJAX and other web-centric technologies. Three.js and JavaScript library are JavaScript libraries.

See Three.js and JavaScript library

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced or) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values).

See Three.js and JSON

Key frame

In animation and filmmaking, a key frame (or keyframe) is a drawing or shot that defines the starting and ending points of a smooth transition.

See Three.js and Key frame

Lambertian reflectance

Lambertian reflectance is the property that defines an ideal "matte" or diffusely reflecting surface.

See Three.js and Lambertian reflectance

Lens flare

A lens flare happens when light is scattered or flared in a lens system, often in response to a bright light, producing a sometimes undesirable artifact in the image.

See Three.js and Lens flare

Level of detail (computer graphics)

In computer graphics, level of detail (LOD) refers to the complexity of a 3D model representation.

See Three.js and Level of detail (computer graphics)

MIT License

The MIT License is a permissive software license originating at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the late 1980s.

Morph target animation

Morph target animation, per-vertex animation, shape interpolation, shape keys, or blend shapes is a method of 3D computer animation used together with techniques such as skeletal animation.

See Three.js and Morph target animation

O3D

O3D is an open-source (BSD license) JavaScript API from Google Code created by Google for creating interactive 3D graphics applications that run in a web browser window or in a XUL desktop application. Three.js and O3D are Free 3D graphics software.

See Three.js and O3D

OpenGL Shading Language

OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) is a high-level shading language with a syntax based on the C programming language.

See Three.js and OpenGL Shading Language

Phong shading

In 3D computer graphics, Phong shading, Phong interpolation, or normal-vector interpolation shading is an interpolation technique for surface shading invented by computer graphics pioneer Bui Tuong Phong.

See Three.js and Phong shading

Quaternion

In mathematics, the quaternion number system extends the complex numbers.

See Three.js and Quaternion

Shadow volume

Shadow volume is a technique used in 3D computer graphics to add shadows to a rendered scene.

See Three.js and Shadow volume

Skeletal animation

Skeletal animation or rigging is a technique in computer animation in which a character (or other articulated object) is represented in two parts: a polygonal or parametric mesh representation of the surface of the object, and a hierarchical set of interconnected parts (called joints or bones, and collectively forming the skeleton), a virtual armature used to animate (pose and keyframe) the mesh.

See Three.js and Skeletal animation

Unity (game engine)

Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies, first announced and released in June 2005 at Apple Worldwide Developers Conference as a Mac OS X game engine.

Universal Scene Description

Universal Scene Description (USD) is a framework for interchange of 3D computer graphics data.

See Three.js and Universal Scene Description

UV mapping

UV mapping is the 3D modeling process of projecting a 3D model's surface to a 2D image for texture mapping.

See Three.js and UV mapping

Wavefront .obj file

OBJ (or.OBJ) is a geometry definition file format first developed by Wavefront Technologies for its Advanced Visualizer animation package.

Website

A website (also written as a web site) is a collection of web pages and related content that is identified by a common domain name and published on at least one web server.

See Three.js and Website

WebXR

WebXR Device API is a Web application programming interface (API) that describes support for accessing augmented reality and virtual reality devices, such as the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, Google Cardboard, HoloLens, Apple Vision Pro, Magic Leap or Open Source Virtual Reality (OSVR), in a web browser.

See Three.js and WebXR

3D computer graphics

3D computer graphics, sometimes called CGI, 3-D-CGI or three-dimensional computer graphics, are graphics that use a three-dimensional representation of geometric data (often Cartesian) that is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering digital images, usually 2D images but sometimes 3D images.
