#### Javascript 3D Engine ####
[![Flattr this](http://api.flattr.com/button/button-compact-static-100x17.png)](http://flattr.com/thing/287/three-js)
The aim of this project is to create a lightweight 3D engine with a very low level of abstraction (aka for dummies). Currently there is no documentation available but feel free to use the examples as a reference and/or read the source code. However, be aware that the API may change from revision to revision breaking compatibility.
The engine can render using <canvas>, <svg> and WebGL.

### Usage ###
Download the [minified library](http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/build/Three.js) and include it in your html.
This code creates a camera, then creates a scene object, adds a bunch of random particles in it, creates a <canvas> renderer and adds its viewport in the document.body element.
For creating a customised version of the library, including the source files in this order would be a good way to start:

* Workaround for Opera bug (clearRect not working with context with negative scale)
* Additional `Matrix4` and `Vector3` methods
2010 07 23 - **r15** (32.440 kb)
* Using new object `UV` instead of `Vector2` where it should be used

* Fixed gap when rendering `Face4` with `MeshBitmapUVMappingMaterial`
2010 07 17 - **r14** (32.144 kb)
* Refactored `CanvasRenderer` (more duplicated code, but easier to handle)
* `Face4` now supports `MeshBitmapUVMappingMaterial`
* Changed order of `*StrokeMaterial` parameters. Now it's `color`, `opacity`, `lineWidth`.
* `BitmapUVMappingMaterial` > `MeshBitmapUVMappingMaterial`
* `ColorFillMaterial` > `MeshColorFillMaterial`
* `ColorStrokeMaterial` > `MeshColorStrokeMaterial`
* `FaceColorFillMaterial` > `MeshFaceColorFillMaterial`
