Build 3D visuals in Vue with Lunchbox.js

Three.js, since its inception in 2010, has become a leading library for creating 3D web visuals, with various abstractions built atop it to enhance performance and aesthetic appeal. As Vue.js has evolved into a popular library for component-based UI development, its integration with Three.js has been facilitated by tools like Lunchbox.js, a custom renderer that uses Vue’s component-based model to manage Three.js functionalities. Lunchbox.js offers a simplified syntax for creating 3D visuals by translating Three.js classes into Vue components, allowing developers to use props for setting object properties and supporting extensions for additional functionalities. The library also permits the creation of scenes, meshes, and animations in a more accessible way, with built-in support for event listeners and texture mapping. This integration makes it easier to build interactive 3D applications in Vue, streamlining the process of rendering, animating, and manipulating 3D objects while maintaining high performance and visual appeal.
