Mrdoob

Mrdoob is the online alias of Ricardo Cabello, a Spanish software developer and artist. He is best known as the creator of three.js, a popular JavaScript library for creating and displaying animated 3D computer graphics in a web browser. Three.js simplifies the process of using WebGL, allowing developers to create complex 3D scenes without needing to write extensive low-level code. The library is widely used for developing web-based games, visualizations, interactive art installations, and virtual reality experiences.

Cabello's work often focuses on the intersection of art and technology, exploring the possibilities of real-time rendering and interactive media. Before three.js, he developed other notable projects in the field of creative coding, including abstract visualizations and generative art pieces. His contributions have significantly lowered the barrier to entry for 3D graphics on the web, making it more accessible to a broader range of developers and artists. Mrdoob maintains an active presence in the creative coding community, often sharing his experiments and insights through his website and social media.
