WEB 3D course

Web 3D is a technology that allows you to display interactive three-dimensional graphics directly in the browser without plugins and third-party applications. It is based on WebGL - an engine that works on the side of the video card, and the Three.js and Babylon.js libraries, which help make working with 3D easier for web developers. Web 3D is an advanced direction of web development, available to those who have already mastered the frontend.

The technology is used for product configurators, virtual showrooms, 3D catalogs, visualization of complex objects, training, simulations, presentations and digital products where the effect of "live" interaction is needed. This is not game 3D graphics, but applied, commercial 3D visualization that works directly in the browser on any device.

Why you should take a course in Web 3D graphics

Web 3D is not just a visual effect, but a powerful technological tool that gives businesses measurable results through unprecedented engagement. The ability to customize and interact with a 3D object in the browser turns passive viewing into active product exploration. The implementation of 3D content reduces the number of returns, increases conversion and provides businesses with a wide audience reach. Today, such interfaces are implemented by eCommerce brands, developers, manufacturing companies, startups, EdTech services and B2B platforms - and that is why Web 3D is becoming not just an additional skill, but a competitive advantage with high value in the market.

Take Web3D training at SpaceLab to:

• expand your technical stack - you will work with libraries and standards that define the future of front-end development;
• increase the value of services by becoming an expert in immersive web solutions;
• gain access to innovations – participate in the most progressive projects in the fields of VR/AR, interactive simulations and metaverses, bypassing complex native engines.

Our potential student is an experienced IT professional who wants to take their development to the next level and is looking for an innovative niche for career growth with low competition.

• A front-end developer who wants to add Three.js, WebGL to the stack and create engaging interfaces - with animation, 3D scenes and "wow" effects.
• A web design and 3D specialist who wants to combine visual thinking with development - animate layouts in the browser, create animations and develop visual scenes in WebGL and Three.js.
• A game developer who wants to create cross-browser mini-games and interactive 3D presentations without using bulky native engines.

If you want to combine your expertise with advanced WebGL technologies, this course is for you.

1. Create 3D scenes in the browser using Three.js and WebGL - work with geometry, materials, lighting, cameras, animation and textures. Understand the principle of WebGL under the hood and why 3D is displayed through the video card, and not through the usual DOM.
2. Work with 3D models and real-time graphics - import models from Blender, optimize polygonality, configure the UV map, use PBR materials and prepare scenes for rendering in the browser.
3. Provide interactivity and UI control in Web 3D projects - rotation, scaling, selection of parameters, clicks, hover effects, as well as link 3D objects with HTML interface, sliders, buttons and forms - using examples of 3D configurators from real AVADA MEDIA projects.
4. Optimize the performance of 3D applications using instancing, levels of detail (LOD), baked textures, model compression, FPS control and asset loading. Learn how to make 3D graphics easy and fast on mobile devices.
5. Create Web 3D products - online configurators, 3D catalogs, virtual showrooms, training simulations and interfaces for B2B systems.

The 3D WebGL course is designed for those who are really ready to immerse themselves in Web 3D and work in a professional training mode, and not "in their free time". To make the training effective, there are several mandatory requirements for candidates.

Motivation and readiness for intensive practice

You work in conditions that are as close as possible to the workflow in an IT company: with regular practice, online meetings with a mentor, code reviews, scene refinement and deadlines. On average, expect to devote 40 hours per week to training. At this pace, you will soon be able to apply your skills in commercial development. Training at SpaceLab is suitable for those who really want to develop, not just try.

Basic technical knowledge

For a comfortable start, you need experience working with the front end: confident command of JavaScript, understanding of DOM, events, modular code structure and browser principles. Web 3D is a superstructure over JS, so without this foundation, learning will be too complicated and slow. A free JavaScript test will help you assess your knowledge. But even if you have no experience, the path to Web3D is still open to you. We recommend taking a course with Vue.js at SpaceLab - you will get a base with which learning Web 3D programming will become accessible both technically and conceptually. An additional advantage will be a basic understanding of working with Blender. You do not need to be able to model, but it is useful to understand how the 3D objects that you will work with in the browser are arranged.

Basic English is welcome

Web 3D is an international field, so most guides, repositories and articles are created in English. You do not need to be fluent in the language, A2–B1 is enough to navigate the terms, tool interfaces and technical descriptions.

The format of the 3D developer course is completely close to the workflow in an IT company: deadlines, code reviews, team interaction and practice on real cases.

1. Interview and test task (10 days)

The selection takes place in two stages: online interview and test task - we assess not only the technical base and motivation, but also your soft skills: discipline, responsibility and ability to work in a team.

2. Theoretical part (during the entire course)

You go through the theoretical modules on the platform at your own pace - without long lectures and unnecessary information. Each topic is presented in an accessible, applied format and is immediately reinforced by a practical task so that knowledge turns into skills. Analysis of complex issues, technical nuances and recommendations takes place at meetings with a mentor and in the group's working chat.

3. Practical work (main part of the course)

The Web 3D course is based on practice, built on real tasks of IT teams. You will go beyond the classic front end, creating scenes, objects, animations and full-fledged 3D worlds right in the browser. Every week you receive feedback from a mentor, improve your code and grow in a professional environment.

4. Results

After studying, you are ready to work on commercial Web 3D projects - from interactive interfaces and online configurators to VR/AR solutions for eCommerce and B2B platforms.

SpaceLab does not burden you with lectures, but gives you the experience of teamwork that employers value - with deadlines, code reviews and real products. The best students get the opportunity to continue their journey within the team, where Web 3D is not an experiment, but part of large corporate solutions for business.

How to become a Web 3D developer

Web 3D is no longer futurism, but a new level of interfaces where users don’t just watch, but interact. What used to work only in games and VR is now coming to life right in the browser. The Web 3D training course at SpaceLab is designed for those who want to go beyond the standard frontend: learn how to work with animations and 3D scenes, create interfaces that cannot be implemented using regular HTML and CSS. If you want to develop in development faster than trends change, and work with technologies that will be in demand tomorrow, join SpaceLab.
