I suck at Three.js about riftsketch HOT 5 CLOSED

Okay, I don't think that guy understands what 3D modelling really takes or
what you're trying to accomplish. This head model doesn't have much to do
with the quality of Three.js, and pretty much has nothing to do with
programming. It's just a mesh of medium complexity with a very high
resolution texture and bump map. The work here was in the modeling, not the
programming.

Are you familiar with OpenSCAD? I think that's the closest existing thing
to what you're making right now.

I'm only scratching the surface of what's possible with Three.js and I'm
not very artistic. I either need to develop the skills or get someone else
to help me create demos.

@capnmidnight Ha! I guess I was being a bit self-deprecating but I do think that my lack of experience with creating beautiful things in 3D is hampering RiftSketch. I have used OpenSCAD in the past for a 3D printing project and I was thinking of integrating CSG.js or ThreeBSP.js into the app but I hesitated since figured boolean techniques were typically used for 3D CAD whereas mesh modelling is better for art. I don't know what direction I want to go in but being able to import meshes (#21) might help.

If you would like simple models of a few things, feel free to grab the
.blend files out of my repository. I only have a few buttons on stands and
an avatar of a bear right now, but over time more will appear. I'm sure
there are other places you can get free 3D models, too, and most of them
are probably better than my models, but just thought I'd offer.

I'm slightly better at Three.js now.

Take a look to http://openjscad.org/ it's amazing
