freeCodeCamp

A comprehensive beginner tutorial covering 3D web development by building an interactive portfolio. Teaches Blender fundamentals for creating 3D models (trees, characters) using techniques like extrusion, loop cuts, and mirror modifiers. Demonstrates how to bring 3D assets to the web using Three.js, including collision detection and interactive elements. Emphasizes developing problem-solving skills and understanding documentation rather than just following steps.
