Three.js Released

Three.js, a JavaScript library for creating 3D animations was initially released on April 24, 2010 by Ricardo Cabello, otherwise known as mrdoob. In 1996, Cabello started working with his brother in the demoscene when he was only twelve or thirteen years old. For the next ten-plus years, he cut his teeth in the demoscene, creating 3-D worlds in his graphics that would form the basis of his motivation to create Three.js.

Three.js—along with Cinder and p5.js—would form the basis of a second wave of creative coding tools in the decade of the 2010s, following the catalyst that was Processing in 2001.
