Become a Three.js developer

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the prerequisites?

  Even if the course is beginner-friendly, you need to know JavaScript basics like variables, objects, arrays, loops, functions, conditions and events.

  The WebGPU & TSL course also assumes you already know Three.js and the basics of shaders.

  The code editor used in the lessons is Visual Studio Code but you can use any editor you like.

  The browser used in the lessons is Chrome but you can use any browser you like. However, it is recommended to use one with a good developer tools panel like Chrome or Firefox.

  Eventually, you will have to install Blender, but the software is free and works on all major OS.

• Can I use Three.js with React?

  Yes, thanks to the React Three Fiber renderer, we can write Three.js application directly in React.

  And it doesn't stop there. React Three is a huge ecosystem with many tools and features that will improve your developer's life.

  It's so big that a whole chapter is dedicated to the topic.

  And if you don't know React, the course includes a 4-hour lesson that will teach you the basics of React.

• Is the content up to date?

  All the dependencies used throughout the lessons are updated multiple times a year and the content is adjusted accordingly.

  New lessons are also regularly added in order to cope with the latest features and to answer community requests.

• What if I need help?

  With the course, you will also get access to a private Discord server. If you get stuck or you don't understand a specific part of a lesson, you can share your problem to get help.

• I don't speak English very well. Will it be a problem?

  Although the lessons are in English, they have all been captioned.
  For a better comprehension, the technical terms are perfectly written and highlighted.
  And if the video is going too fast, you can slow down the pace.

  French, Spanish, Hindi, and Chinese subtitles are available as well.

  To test and see how difficult it is for you to follow, all beginnings and some full lessons are available for free.

  Finally, all the lessons are available as text right below the video with the exact same content (screenshots, code snippets, video previews, etc.)

• Can I offer it?

  Yes, you can gift either course, or both, to someone else by clicking on this link.

  You can pick an option between letting us email the gift to the receiver or you can share the gift yourself.

  You'll receive an invoice by email and the recipient won't have access to your billing information.

• Can I test the lessons?

  The first lessons are free! Have a look and see for yourself if you like the content.

  And if it's not enough, the beginning of every other lesson is also free.

• What if I don't like the course?

  If you are not happy with the course, whatever the reason is, you can ask for a refund at any time by sending an email at contact@threejs-journey.com.

  Following the refund, your account will be deleted.

  This covers the course itself. A coffee, and a course you sponsored for a student, are not refundable.

• Is there a way to get a discount?

  The prices have already been set as low as possible in order to be accessible for everyone, and the VAT is included.

  You pay only once and get access to all the lessons, a members-only Discord server and upcoming updates!

  Still, if it's too expensive for you, discounts might happen at some occasions. Follow @bruno_simon on Twitter to be alerted.

• Do I have to do the entire course to start my own project?

  No! Once you feel comfortable, you can start working on your personal experiences by yourself. You won't have to wait until the end of the course, but obviously, you will be able to jump back to the course at any time where you left it.

  And if you struggle on any project, whether it is personal or professional, the Three.js Journey community will always be happy to help.

• Do you provide a certificate of completion?

  Yes! Each lesson comes with a quiz. Completing all quizzes will grant you access to a public certificate that you can print or share with the world.

  Failing on answering a quiz will result in a few minutes time out, giving you time to find the information before answering again.

• Can I ask for a VAT refund?

  If your company is in the EU (outside of France), you can ask for a VAT refund.

  To do that, after buying the course, go to your account settings and fill the VAT refund request form. Information will be reviewed and proof that you work at the company might be requested.

• Can I have an invoice?

  Once you've bought the course, you get access to an invoice. You can add any additional data you need on the document.

• Do I need the WebGPU & TSL course? New

  It's a separate course: $45 on its own, or $120 bundled with Three.js Journey.

  WebGPU is becoming the default renderer in Three.js and TSL the new way to write shaders, but the Three.js course alone is still everything you need to build 3D experiences on the web today.

• Already have Three.js Journey? How do I get the WebGPU & TSL course? New

  Log in, then add it from the WebGPU & TSL page for $25 instead of $45, until September 30.

  The 21 lessons then appear right in your lessons, with their own quizzes and certificate.
