Having a degree in coding and work as a 3D artist is nice but what if I could combine both worlds? That's where it can get fancy. Online I read about Three.js. A Javascript library where one can build his very own 3D website. And it can be anything! A game, informational, a cool site to click around and of course a portfolio website.
So I bought a course license at threejs-journey.com and followed along. My ultimate goal, my very own 3D portfolio website! A lot of cool ideas came up in mind and the project became bigger and bigger. I started of extremely enthousiastic and after a couple of evenings I managed to show a 3D model on a website. Alright, this is when I realised reaching the ultimate goal will take a very very long time. Along the way you stumble across many questions, mistakes and hurdles to overcome.
What is the ultimate goal? The idea is you get to see a 3D cartoonish model of my head when you enter the site. To continue you'll click on the screen and you fly inside my head. Eventually you'll reach the inside of my brain with a start island. The island contains some elements about me, the things I like for example. A navigation pole can be clicked to move towards other island. An island to see and read info about me, contact me, listen to music I made and many other things.
The current state? The priority is to first focus on the start island and make it look nice.
Before building other islands the navigation pole needs the functionality to make the POV (camera) move to specific XYZ coordinates.
