This is a nice article. I'd like to say that I LOVE Daniel Shiffman.

He has a Youtube channel[1] on which he takes random ideas and tries to code them on three.js in less than an hour (or some variance). It's fun, he explains sometime complex systems in a simple manner, and the result is always interesting.

I've done a fair amount of little personal projects inspired by his and it's always a fun sunday morning project.

Shiffman's channel is great for new & experienced coders, but I will say it is especially good if you want to get a young kid interested in the field

He's an excellent teacher - you don't get bogged down in unnecessary complexity (he chooses simple libraries like three.js, or processing), but presents the inherent complexity of the problem.

Plus he makes it fun to watch with the enthusiastic style that's almost contagious.

The article is about three.js, yes. However, on his channel he is porting things to p5.js, not three.js

not sure where my mind got confused between three and p5. Probably because the book is Shiffman's.

Thanks for the correction :)

Totally agree, Shiffman's channel is excellent! Looking forward to pouring over the ThreeJS implementations.
