Do you know any interesting threejs guide/book? I'm still learning it, my last hack was a (J)SCAD file previewer inside Atom: https://atom.io/packages/atom-sc

This is not my repo, so all creds go to the author: https://github.com/1j01/ https://github.com/1j01/ But to reply to your question, what really amazed me a year a go was this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKPYx4CEIlM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKPYx4CEIlM After watching that, I feel in love with all the possibilities that comes with interactions one can do with anything that is represented in a virtual 3D environment. So instead of learning Three.js, I started to work with Unity since they are multi-platform and have UnityScript which is a lot similar to Javascript. Due to my background as a web developer, it was a very comfortable transition.

  UnityScript seems cool but it looks like I need to download a 350mb executable to run it so I guess it's for a different use case.

    It's pretty much only for use inside Unity itself as a game development language. I have a small hope, since Microsoft appears to be opening up DotNet, that Unity will itself one day be able to work with any of the DotNet languages.

      You can use C# in Unity. I was under the impression that most people do.

Wow, this is pretty cool! I think more and more people will start to use atom as more projects like this start to come about.

  Thanks, I'm collaborating on a local accesibility project that aims to produce braille signs (door signs for example) with 3D printers. The first experiments were using OpenSCAD. I started to experiment with JSCAD later as it's possible to use it on the web and/or NodeJS, etc. A cool feature would be to print the 3D model directly from Atom, with one click :)
