Welcome to my blog, I'm Rick and mainly a react dev with a deep interest in creative industries and general 3D.
I am a creative frontend developer, I specialise in React, GLSL, postprocessing and R3F. I love to experiment with code and deal with complex topics.
Edge Detection and Concave Hulls
A novel approach for edge detection in Three. Using shapes, shape geometreis and concave hulls to define edges and then pass then to a shader material, where you can create a color gradient.
Subdivision of Geometry Vertices in Three
Subdividing vertices on a cube geometry in THREE. Allowing for more detail in the vertex structure of a geometry. In depth description of the process to create a subdividing workflow like this.
R&D - Water Ripple, Postprocessing and HTML like world
A water ripple Effect on a HTML like world using postprocessing, an effect composer and R3F.
Top resources for web 3D in 2023
A round up of some of the most interesting sources for learning and / or developing your advanced skills in shaders, webgl, R3F and 3D. Taking alook at the observerable, shadertoy and JSfiddle websites.
Linting GLSL Files and Setup for Vscode
A Method of linting GLSL files as standalone files and importing into your JS files. This works as of december 2023.
Vertex Shaders, Fragment Shaders and Interpolation
A walk through on the vertex and fragment shaders, varyings, attributes and uniforms. Along with the process of interpolation betweeen varyings of different data points defined in vertex shaders that are passed to the fragment shader.
