Two tutorials in two weeks!? I know, it’s crazy but I’m getting through a bit of a backlog here 🙂 I’ve now posted a guide to making super smooth running games within the browser on iOS. You can wrap it up in PhoneGap and publish to the AppStore if you want! It’s based around the […]
Three.js tutorial now on CreativeJS.com
Our very first tutorial has gone live on CreativeJS.com. Getting up and running with three.js can be tricky, but hopefully this will make it very easy! I’ve refactored it since it launched last week – let me know if you find any errors! This tutorial is part of my CreativeJS training course. Just five spots […]

And this time, it’s part of the Brighton Digital Festival – a month full of very cool events. Tickets […]
