Can I draw 3D characters in three.js?

[Fennec]

Blender is a 3D editor, one of the best. Three.js is a 3D JavaScript library, top-notch. To draw an analogy, they’re like Photoshop and the HTML canvas. While you can edit images programmatically on a canvas, it can be inefficient and may never achieve the polish Photoshop provides.

The best workflow combines both: use Blender for what it excels at, 3D modeling, animations… And use Three.js for displaying and interacting with the imported models. You can create multiple animations with blender, and trigger them with three.js.

Alternatively, if you’re more comfortable with Three.js and the animations are simple, you can create them there instead. It really depends on the complexity of your models and animations, so it’s up to you to choose the approach that works best for your needs.

And here’s an interesting discussion on the topic:

Creating moving parts in blender that will move in response to user input in 3JS

This should be a basic question, but I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer. Perhaps I am using the wrong search terms. I have created a small aircraft in Blender and want to make various parts user-movable in 3JS, such as ailerons, elevator, rudder. It just so happens that they are on vertical and horizontal planes and I have placed the axes at the hinge point, so I should not need bones. Also the model is exported as a gltf/glb file, so animation should be fully supported. I h…
