Understand, train, and be ready to develop 3D Web applications/video games using the Babylon. js framework, even for beginners.

About This Book

• Understand the basics of 3D (along with the theory) before practicing

• Each mini-project provides previous features, alongside the new feature you are learning, to supply the examples

• Learn from the best of the best, a developer at Microsoft, France

Who This Book Is For

Babylon. JS Essentials is intended for developers who want to enter the world of 3D development for the Web, or developers who want to add the Babylon. js framework to their skill set.
