Working with Blender and Three.js

In this chapter, we’ll dive a bit deeper into how you can use Blender and Three.js together. We’ll explain the following concepts in this chapter:

Exporting from Three.js and importing into Blender: We’ll create a simple scene, export it from Three.js, and load and render it in Blender.
Exporting a static scene from Blender and importing it into Three.js: Here, we will create a scene in Blender, export it into Three.js, and render it in Three.js.
Exporting an animation from Blender and importing it into Three.js: Blender allows us to create animations, we’ll create a simple animation, and load and show it in Three.js.
Baking lightmaps and ambient occlusion maps in Blender: Blender allows us to bake different types of maps that we can use in Three.js.
Custom UV modeling in Blender: With UV modeling, we determine how a texture is applied to a geometry. Blender provides a lot of tools to make that easy...
