Take your creative web development to the next level by building an interactive 3D cozy cafe portfolio from scratch using Blender and Three.js.

We just posted a course on the freeCodeCamp YouTube channel by Andrew Woan that teaches you how to build a stunning interactive 3D "Cozy Cafe" portfolio from scratch. Using a combination of Blender and Three.js, this tutorial guides you through a professional workflow that bridges the gap between 3D artistic design and technical web development. You will start by learning subdivision modeling to create charming, whimsical environments before moving into texture painting and performance optimization.

The course covers advanced development techniques, including the implementation of a robust singleton architecture and the use of TSL shaders for dynamic lighting. You will also learn how to make your 3D world interactive through mobile-responsive raycasting, allowing users to click on objects and navigate through unique project trails. The course emphasizes high-performance results, showing you how to compress assets and bake lighting to ensure your portfolio remains "play-ready" and fast for all visitors.

By the end of the project, you will have constructed two complete 3D scenes and learned the full pipeline for deployment.

Watch the full course on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel (5-hour watch).
