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.
Exporting Per Vertex Attributes from Blender into a GLTF Model
Exporting per vertex attributes from Blender and ensuring the correct format. Useful if your in a tight spot and need to use blender and take advantage of geometry node attributes in a GLTF Model.
Creating Water Trails with Vertex Displacement on a GLTF Model
How to do water trails by displacing verticies and integrating a custom shader with a built in threejs shader, taking advantage of hdr images in a custom shader.
Creating light shafts from blender to a r3f project
A 101 on how to use geometry nodes and opacity masks in blender to generate some pretty cool looking light shafts for a threejs / react three fiber project.
Storing positional x/y/z values in a texture and reading in a r3f shader material
This article will explore a workflow for storing vectors in an image and then reading it in a r3f shader material. Which can be used with three/r3f's points or GPU particles. Also this would be a good candiate for vector flow fields on the web.
Exporting Vertex Data from Blender into a r3f project and instancing
This article will explore a workflow for exporting vertex data from a geometry node setup in blender, where we distribute points on a surface. This is useful for points and instancing geometry in threejs or react-three-fiber. Using Sverchok blender addon to export data in a format we can utilise!
How to Get Flooring For a GLTF Model From blender to GLTF and R3F/Threejs
Creating flooring for a 3D GLTF model. Workflow from blender to R3F/Threejs for flooring in a 3D model.
