I recommend the [website of Paul Bourke](http://paulbourke.net/). It is not about Three.js, but covers a lot of math topics relevant for computer graphics (projections, file formats, interpolation methods etc. etc.). I like the format very much. Clear and concise presentation of interesting topics. I have learned a lot from that site.

A great talk by the genius John Carmack about lighting and rendering. One of my favorites 😊

> Hello all, After doing a bunch of Blender courses on Udemy, I was disappointed that none of the tutorials there actually explained the creation of gltf compatible materials that I could use on three.js. Whenever I created a 3d model it always happened that the final materials on the objects ended up looking really bad. After a long search, I found a really good tutorial series by a company called Analytical graphics Inc which has helped me a lot in my work. You can check it out below: …
