Covers syncing transforms between Blender and Three.js, using Blender empties for spawn/pivot points, converting Geometry Nodes setups into Three.js code via LLMs, building custom Blender addons (including vibe-coded ones) that chain other addons and command-line tools like GLTFJSX and gltf-transform, upgrading to Blender 5.2+ LTS for Meshopt compression, and adopting Three.js Shading Language (TSL) as an easier path to writing shaders that compile to GLSL and WGSL. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does upgrading to Blender 5.2 LTS give me for exporting to Three.js? Blender 5.2+ LTS adds a Meshopt compression option, which helps optimize 3D assets before bringing them into a Three.js/glTF pipeline. This pairs well with AI-assisted Blender-to-Three.js workflows where reduced file size matters for web delivery. _Developers tracking Blender and Three.js compatibility changes can follow ecosystem updates on daily.dev._ ### What is TSL in Three.js and why would I use it instead of writing raw GLSL? TSL, or Three.js Shading Language, is a newer way to write custom shaders in Three.js that the core maintainers created specifically to simplify shader authoring. Code written in TSL compiles down to both GLSL, the older web graphics standard, and WGSL, the newer upcoming standard, and its node-based structure closely resembles Blender's shader nodes. _Anyone choosing a shader authoring approach for Three.js can find comparisons like this on daily.dev._ ### Can I convert a Blender Geometry Nodes setup directly into Three.js code using AI? Yes, using an LLM with Blender MCP to analyze a Geometry Nodes setup and convert it into a Three.js experience works decently well for many common setups. More complicated Geometry Nodes configurations, however, still require a developer who understands the underlying logic to finish the conversion correctly. _Developers experimenting with AI-assisted 3D pipelines can follow practical workflow tips on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Creative Web Development with Three.js and Blender](https://daily.dev/posts/creative-web-development-with-three-js-and-blender-i0kymwczo) · freeCodeCamp · 35 upvotes · 4 comments - [Creating an Interactive 3D Cluster with Three.js, TSL and Three Start](https://daily.dev/posts/creating-an-interactive-3d-cluster-with-three-js-tsl-and-three-start-y4sedpfai) · Codrops · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [3D Web Development with Blender and Three.js](https://daily.dev/posts/3d-web-development-with-blender-and-three-js-i4xuekmxb) · freeCodeCamp · 3 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#3d](https://daily.dev/tags/3d), [#blender](https://daily.dev/tags/blender), [#threejs](https://daily.dev/tags/threejs) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/blender-to-three-js-and-back-10-tips-for-a-better-workflow-ojkonwfdo)
